I wouldn't get too excited... I haven't joined any games yet. I just keep getting the notifications. I have been getting them since Day 1.
Off Facebook, this just updated :
The fight for survival in Dead Island will continue with the Bloodbath Arena DLC in late September!
As stated in the pre-order docs included in the Special Edition, codes for this additional content will not be valid before the DLC is released at the end of September. Bloodbath Arena will also be made available for purchase at that time.
DLC Features-
New weapon: The brain wave bomb
Build up XP and loot items to bring into your campaign
Four deadly and hazardous areas.
Endless waves of zombies

This is really one of the worst game launches I've seen.

Thank god I haven't really played the game at all beyond smacking zombies on the beach.

Yeah, that XP bonus is great. +150% xp a kill? So broken.
But at LVL 50 can you respec? If not, you wasted those points...

I really hope they fix all of this before the weekend. Their due date is Friday Night as Steam doesn't accept anything over the weekends, Techland would most likely release some kind of patch before Steam closes shop.
I hope.

Isn't this the game where there is a stat or something for a female character that does more damage to men, and the developers called it in the code "FeministWhore+1"?
The best part of this "news story" is reading the comments and having a mild stroke.
Because of the spec builds, not necessarily the character choice. Though you are right, Purna is also my favorite storyline character.
As for the RESPEC? Oh I know they BETTER have a respec option because that'd be ridiculous to lock someone in to.
Oi, I looked and regretted.
This has gotta be a bug. I needed to find a gun in some guy's house... but the location wasn't indicated. So after I locate the only house I haven't been in yet, I go inside and... everything turns foggy and I'm getting slightly damaged. House isn't on fire or anything and even if it was, the Thug inside wasn't getting damaged.
All in all a very strange event.

@ Mathias: The repair system, in my opinon, adds to the suspense and thrill of the game. "Oh shit I just took out that small horde and a huge Thug but most of my weapons are now splintered worthless pieces of wood.... I have to get across the beach with nothing but what I can scavange up from here on out." Now suddenly that worthless plank you passed on your way through the beach, is your only means of survival back. It's an awesome way to make everything valuable. As for your durability sucking on your modified/special weapons? There's talents that increase their durability specifically. So you don't have to feel that your awesome creations are as flimsy as the stuff you find/pick up.
@Math242: It's well worth the money despite it's few glitches and the multiplayer issue the game was having. This game is everything it said it would be and more.
@The previous scare of losing all your items upon login? My Purna-Kigo has all her previous weapons the moment she logged in, nothing lost.

that is what I like about the system. While L4D series is awesome with nearly unlimited ammo and weapon never breaks, Dead Island can be a bit more suspenseful since you have to pick your battle, your weapon and situation. You can't go gung ho ALL the time or you will be without a weapon REAL quick which add a whole different element to the game.
It has some core gameplay elements like Borderlands (XP/Upgrade system, finding weapons and modifying them with spare parts) but it digs deeper and really does more with it I think. IE: The crafting system is pretty much scraps + base item = bigger badder item with a few more stats.
I guess the question is, what didn't you like about Borderlands that you were afraid is in Dead Island?

Response to this question from hubby: It felt like an MMO without the MM, because you killed the same shit all the time. (I didn't play Borderlands, so I have no idea!)
With as stubborn and pigheaded as he gets about trying new things, Think I'm still waiting for TL2 for a new co-op game
Well, you might want to warn him that you spend a lot of time fighting zombies in this game.Response to this question from hubby: It felt like an MMO without the MM, because you killed the same shit all the time. (I didn't play Borderlands, so I have no idea!)

I'm not going to say there's a lot of walking dead on that island... but there's a LOT of walking dead on that island. You'd almost think it the major theme.
