Nice mate,

Managed to get 5 hours of Borderlands in this week, so trying to get back into this in and amongst my STO.

Looking forward to that new content too.

Without giving away any spoilers, what I think of the patch and DLC. First off, the patch:

The deletion of modded weapons doesn't really affect me, as far as I knew I had no modded guns anyway. What the patch note doesn't really address is weapons that weren't found legibly, but that fall within the game rules. Anyway, no big changes for me.

Rocket regeneration got fixed! Even though I don't have a class mod that does that, I'm looking for one, and I'm glad that when I find one it'll work.

I like the fix to the "pearlescent" weapons. There used to be a glitch where legendary guns would have a white name. Now when you see white guns, you're safe to not check them out (you can recognize the rarity of a gun by the light above it).

The addition of icons to indicate what DLCs a player has in the server-list is a nice feature. It's also good to know whether someone is actually playing DLC or not.

No more red chests in New Haven is kinda sad, but it does make sense. Four red chests without having to fight any enemies was a pretty cheap way of getting loot.

Increased shock damage! I haven't tried it, but I got a Siren focusing on shock. I'm gonna notice that!

And now for the more interesting part, the DLC:
The new DLC, called the Secret Armory of General Knoxx brings a lot of new things. The highlights:
-New unique quest weapons (like TK's Wave/Clipper).
-A new class mod for every class.
-New enemies, including shock, corrosive, fire and rocketeer (with jetpacks) Lance.
-Three new vehicles, including a vehicle that can be used by four people at once.
-Familiar faces, like dr. Zed, Marcus and Scooter.
-New characters.
-A whole new story-line with lots of humor.

The bad news is that one element I didn't like from dr. Ned was carried over to this DLC: there is just a single Fast Travel station in the whole DLC. That means that you'll have to travel all the way across the map.

But, in the end, I definitely found this worth my money.
