Next weeks poll
Im still standing by my Hottest female character idea. Im sure everyone has an opinion even if noone wants to admit it :P 05:38, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Moxxi, Lilith, Helena Pierce, Steele, Tannis, Athena, Gaurdian Angel. Also since this poll idea was intended to be slightly childishly funny maybe a joke choice like TK Bahas wife or something like "Any one that thinks cartoons are hot is weird". Lets try to have some fun with it ;) 06:04, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

I like Pierce because of her robotic parts. 07:25, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well then we could even put a little funny saying after each name, it would look something like-

Moxxi- mischieviously/sarcastically hot Lilith- incendiary/combustion/literally on fire hot Helena- mechanically/robotically hot Steele- sadistically/murderously hot Tannis- mentally unstable/crazy hot Athena- assassin/killer/ninja/someother funny sounding synonym hot Guardian angel- mysteriously/cryptically hot Jakobs Corp. Operator (from Zombie Island)- secretary hot Any one that thinks cartoons are hot is weird -- 14:32, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Plus a category for those who find dudes, as opposed to chicks, hot. Just sayin'. make mine la gamine Tannis Daemmerung 16:10, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * ^^^ perhaps a seperate poll for the male characters. --Veggienatersml.png 20:12, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * that one would have a low turn-out. :P 20:17, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Queen Tarantella - Baby got back. -- 20:45, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

it's only fair, veg. i shall ask raz if she would care to do the honors the following week.

05:22, April 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * ^^^ it was my Idea. go for it. Veggienatersml.png 00:10, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Raz? Really? Before me? 23:43, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

ALSO:

Lilith can be corrosively hot, shockingly hot, and explosively hot. She has the advantage of description.

Tanis can be obsessively hot. While Helena can be battlefield/aftermath hot. Guardian can be ghostly hot. Jakobs secretary can be corporate hot. Steele can be commandingly hot. Moxxie description is mild to say the least. I have not met Athena yet but she looks Jedi hot.

NEW POLL IDEA:

What hot description defines "female name here". A different one every month for eight months... 09:06, April 11, 2011 (UTC)



alright, kidz. everybody queue up. here's what we's gonna do:


 * 4/16 - veg's hottest female poll
 * 4/23 - nohara's ragepoll -(it wouldn't do to run near-identical polls back-to-back. may be confusing)
 * 4/30 - raz's hottest hunter most handsome character poll

'kay-oh? 17:27, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * i'm fine with that. it'll be my birfday week. so y'all better pick the right one...(: 19:20, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Dear Fry's Girlfriend
ahem*

The key to "run with the boys" and not get bothered is to not give any personal information/location out. Most of the peeps I play with online are younger than me (early teens, i myself should not be talking to them) but its no harm done. Most of the time I don't talk to people anyways, the people i regularly play with, I actually know. So i'm not too concerned. p.s. Texas is a big state, it'll be hard to find me. p.s.s. the whole "this user has x# of stalkers" is supposed to be a joke, its how many edits i've made. so don't worry bout little ol' me. :) Cheers, 04:54, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Least useful skill tree skill?
I thought about doing most/least useful special skill, but lillith would probably win because everyone loves phasewalk, and Brick would probably win least useful because no one plays him. So, I boiled it down to the last 3 skill tree skills for each vault hunter.

Mordecai-


 * Tresspass (Chance to bypass shields)


 * Bird of Prey (increases the number of targets bloodwing can attack)


 * Relentless (After-kill bonus to fire rate and bullet damage)

Brick-


 * Blood Sport (Bonus to health regen after killing an enemy)


 * Unbreakable (Bonus to shield regen after it's depleted)


 * Master Blaster (Bonus to damage and slight rocket ammo regen after kill)

Roland-


 * Guided Missile (Allows Scorpio turret to shoot guided missiles)


 * Supply Pickup (Scorpio fires out supply pickups)


 * Stat (Party-wide, proximity-based health regen upon kill)

Lilith-


 * Mind Games (Every bullet has a chance to Daze)


 * Phoenix (5% of shots don't cost ammo, fire damage to nearby enemies)


 * Phase Strike (Melee attack while phasewalking deals 160% damage)

I know there are a lot of choices, but I still think it's a good idea. 22:30, April 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * And lilith will win again....all of her skills are very useful...Is there going to be a poll where she doesn't win? 02:12, April 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Winning this poll isn't exactly a good thing lol. Also, Phoenix is really only useful in certain situations. Zombies? Wouldn't fight them without it. Crimson lance/Craw? Worst 5 points anyone can spend. So we'll see. I think somehow poor brick is going to end up with a bad rap again though. Nohai.png  11:28, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

got it. least useful. thanks for making the selections impartial. 12 options is just on the trailing edge of doable, but doable nonetheless. it will be as you say.

02:25, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Just noticed the alphabetical order of the names in the "HOT" poll. Nice touch. -- 21:54, April 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * i actually put them in order of their dimensions. the alphabetical order is just a happy coincidence.

query
Hey, I am just wondering how to display your weapons as a separate link. I want to display my weapons on my profile.ChaseMacaque 17:43, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * hiya, chase. using the xbox you may take a picture of your tv screen with a digital camera and upload the images to the wiki. see here for help with uploading images. feel free to upload as many images to the wiki as you like but please remember to categorize your image files. when you get the images you like on the wiki we can discuss some more advanced ways of displaying them, galleries, sliders, etc. maybe link your gamespot trading forum page? get back to me with any further ??'s, mate. welcome to the wiki.

new poll
Sure... What is your favorite claptrap:

EDIT:
 * 1) Leaking (damaged) claptrap
 * 2) Firestone claptrap
 * 3) Zed's New haven claptrap
 * 4) Taylor Kob's hacked claptrap
 * 5) Ned's Possessed claptrap
 * 6) Jacobs wood claptrap
 * 7) Banker tuxedo claptrap
 * 8) Lockdown palace claptrap
 * 9) Funny claptrap enemies

Well, what did you expect??? You asked the biggest claptrap fan on the wiki for a poll...

Feel free to add any from DLC 3 (still leveling a new character to do it properly). 08:53, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

What is the web series claptrap?


 * "out-of-character" claptrap. see here.
 * OMG! ok. Most polls are somewhat predictable which choice is going to win. That particular entry is guaranteed to win. That said, thanks for linking it. I laughed my ass off. 06:52, May 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * i second that emotion. OMG x2! it's been a while since i watched episode 4. mecha-scooter needs his own dlc! "ninja kick to tha face!!" speaking of 'trap vids... did you catch this? (followed by this).

postscript: are we good with the "fav 'trap type poll?" if so, do me a solid and chase down any other 'trap types i might've missed. - fry

The above eight nine should do it, unless I missed a cool claptrap from dlc3... I wonder what their wedding was like... I got a weird wedding story meself (jedi and all)... Funny vid, thanks 08:39, May 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * trying not to be the poll nazi, but... a few thoughts: 13+ options makes for a rather unwieldy poll, especially considering that the space allowed for the poll will not allow for the complete quotes to be listed in their entirety. if i may make a suggestion? perhaps the biggest claptrap fan on the wiki would like to know what everyone's favorite claptrap (personality, persona, type) is?


 * 1) vanilla claptrap
 * 2) damaged claptrap
 * 3) jakobs representative claptrap (wooden)
 * 4) taylor kobb's hacked claptrap
 * 5) jakobs cove (dr. ned's) claptrap
 * 6) lockdown palace claptrap
 * 7) main menu claptrap
 * 8) web series claptrap
 * 9) banker claptrap
 * 10) list of dlc4 claptrap enemy types
 * 11) etc.
 * 1) etc.

Eridian Rifle
The E. Rifles I have had have all had mags that hold quite a few shot though i have never counted them. If it the comparison to the Mercurial you have a concern with feel free to rewrite it. I have found the rifle recharges fairly quickly as well, though again im not sure if that is due to profs. i think the comparison to the Lightning is accurate though, at least as far as damage and mag size goes. 03:09, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe I removed the comparison to the lightning because rifle is much closer to a blaster than a lightning. Lightning is supplosed to be a sniper rifle thus the instantaneous projectiles. 15:35, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

no concerns about the comparison to the mercurial, in particular. i just wonder if we've seen enough different types of eridian rifles / blasters to draw accurate comparisons. i'm sure the issue will resolve itself as, hopefully, the recent activity devoted to the eridian weapons pages has raised their profile. they're a sadly neglected bunch and i'm glad to see them getting some attention. i'm rather fond of the alien weps myself and lil's is growing a respectable collection. i still remember the first time i saw one on another player and said "what the **** is that?!?" i also like doing inexplicably stupid sh*t like running the nest or going to jakobs cove with eridian only so maybe my judgement isn't the best.

17:58, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

I like them as well though, from what i have been able to figure out, most people dont. I used Lightnings and Thunderstorms exclusively for Shock damage before actually finding an Orion, which i did not find untill after i got Knoxx back in june '10, after having the game since it release in Oct '09. They are seriously under appretiated. 18:41, May 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * a fellow enthusiast. i you have any handy weapon cards to put up the wiki can definitely use more eridian weapon pics.

19:06, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunatly, I do not have the ability to take screen shots. No camera. But yes i believe in the power of Eridians. 19:30, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Need a tech to create a shield table template
I got this one. 08:47, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * thank you, kind sir. 18:27, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Talk:Ironclad
 * Talk:Rose
 * Talk:Atlas Omega
 * Is this to your liking? I still need to do a template page cleanup (read:write the doc).
 * I'll also do a table for normal shields, when I find the time. 08:46, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

thanks for the swift response, happy. the tables look good, thank you. i do, however, have one concern: the column for "delay" may not be accessible to non-techs, such as myself. i, for one, have no idea where to find or how to calculate a shield's recharge delay without a stopwatch. should this column be included in the tables?

00:55, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I had some doubts on its inclusion. My conclusion is that users that don't know can just leave it blank, until a tech sees it. There is only a finite amount of shields on the wiki, so it is doable. Further more, I think it brings attention and awareness at this super important stat. Would you still be using your Ironclad if you knew it had an 11.2 second delay ?!
 * I'll keep a watch on the pages. I double checked the shields you added BTW. 07:02, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

that is a lot to ask of one person. especially since the reason that i am going around adding and updating weapon tables is to raise the profile of lesser-used mainspace pages, and to encourage adding even more variants. is there a "cheat sheet" or the like that can be found or added to the respective pages?

18:14, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to add a little message at the top off each shield page ("leave the filed blank, a tech will fill it shortly"). I don't think it is much work, as stated, there are a total of 4 unique shields in borderlands. That's hardly much. I can do it. Besides, the pages already have enough shields for users to get a good feel of the shields. 17:21, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

"a lot to ask of one person": the emphasis was not so much on the "lot to ask" as it was on the "one person" part. it concerns me that, should the one person who is able and willing to calculate the recharge delay on every shield added... become unavailable... perhaps a link can be added to the talk pages that will direct the user to a user/subpage detailing "how to calculate recharge delay"?

i agree that there are enough shields on most of the talk pages already. the purpose of my adding to any table is solely to showcase that which has not been shown before, to show variant body parts and high/low ranges of damage, capacity, recharge, clip size, zoom, etc. i look forward to a day when we may start removing listings from tables and narrowing down the selections to just the above criteria. this possibility has not yet been discussed and may or may not actually happen, but, in the meantime, i am scouring my collections for just those things: things that have not been seen on the wiki before.

17:49, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

5-15 poll
Hmmm, well my very first thought was "Favorite Runner Color", but then I took 2 seconds to think about it and that's kind of a dull poll.

I'm kinda liking NOhara24's idea for "Favorite non-boss enemy", but I'm concerned that it may be unwieldy. I started trying to figure out a 3-week poll where we did all the categories first, then took the winner of that, say "human", then did a "Favorite Human Enemy" poll, then took the winner from that, say "bandit", then did a "Favorite Bandit" poll...

Then I began to question if people really want to see the "same" poll for 3 weeks in a row. So, instead my idea of the moment is:

Favorite Loot Midget:
 * Crimson Shorty
 * Dumpster Diver
 * Meat Popsicle
 * Mini Steve
 * Truxican Wrestler
 * I love 'em all!
 * I don't have DLC 3

-- 02:47, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * i like it. can we drop the "i don't have"? (you don't have to have dlc3 to have an opinion.)

05:01, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure. Maybe change it to "I hate the little buggers", or something? I'm not too vested in the particulars, so we don't have to include any options outside of the midgets themselves, I just wanted to keep all the bases covered. -- 05:59, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

hey man..i wanted that tsunami with 226 Dam 95.3 acc and 12.5 acc

My acc name is Holy_poop_godly..and i have plenty of oranges :)
 * i don't blame you. 12.5 is the fastest rof i have. the slower ones are not terribly effective. note: no scope, though. given, the tsunami isn't exactly a sniping smg. shoot me a friendy on gamespy and i'll jump on tonite. how does 7 pm cst, gmt -5, suit you?

Image recategorization
So I noticed you're doing a bit of work re-categorizing images. What raises an eyebrow for me is that my photos of shields are now "Category:Images of Class Mods". Personally, I'm not really bothered by what categories we do/don't have, but are there any plans to create "Category:Images of Shields"? Probably could have one for artifacts too, if we're not going to call them "items". -- 09:56, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * thanks, airos, for fixing the  code, as well. i re-cat'd the three incorrectly categorized shield pics into images of shields. (in addition to a cat for shields and one for class mods, images of grenade mods was created recently.) the definition of "items" vice "objects" was clarified also, allowing artifacts to be classified as items.

18:04, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

vids
your profile vids arent working. The recent activity shows you added a vid and it works when clicked on there... weird. 09:44, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Bitcher
Ever think that Bitcher might just be a legitimate catagory? Just saying 08:40, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

by wiki definition categories are used to help structure a wiki by grouping together pages on similar subjects. if and when this wiki gets to the point that it needs a then one may be added. although, should that happen we'll have bigger things to worry about than organizing everyone's complaints. like the fact that we have so many complaints that we need a category for them...

dotonetwonine's edit does not appear to have been made in good faith. however, if one person/robot has concerns then others may as well. the vandal's hoodlum's  philistine's user's talk page has been left open for edit so that s/he/it may bich, er, make a case against blockage.

18:07, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Err, I usually do not indicate that I am kidding if I think it would be known that I am. Perhaps we could just make a bitcher article? You know, just for everyone to vent on? That way it would all be anonymous since you dont have to sign :D

This could be the start of something great... :p 18:27, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * we have one. to the steampole, robin!


 * Only problem with that is you wouldn't be "anonymous" since anyone can easily look at the page history to see who made which edits. It'd be a huge pain in the ass to have to log out in order to post just for the sake of "venting". Granted, I'm not one to hide behind my IP address and will just openly speak my mind anyways, so take my 2¢ for what it's worth.
 * Honestly, I think we do an okay job of "venting" when and where appropriate, and don't need to encourage additional "venting" on a new page. -- 18:41, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * ( The Evil Dr. F's Note -  wikia = < anonymity. if you want post anonymously try 4chan)

Honestly, I was just harrassing fryguy. His talk page is enough to vent on. In fact, I should make a forum directing venting here, just to keep him busy. We could call it the bbob (bounty board of bitcher). :D 06:48, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * or "How to troll a fryguy"? "Borderlands Wiki: Complaint Department"? 06:55, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Signature guide
Please don't credit me for the sig guide. First of all, I got one method completely off of J-nox's talk page, second of all, I had help with other authors. The only real original material (from me) is the direct talk page method. I had nothing to do with the code method at all... I might have been the one who started it but it is for everyone. Besides, its not even finished (on my to do list). Thanks 12:28, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

King Wee Wee
I dont know why, but wee wee gets credited as a skag during the local trouble mission in Knoxx before he lets you into the Armory. Dumb but true. 19:35, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * well, that doesn't make any day-am sense. thanks for clearing that up, veg. perhaps a minor re-write is in order, stating that this is a known glitch, so that future editors will not "correct" it.

DLC4
Glad to be able to help :P Least this'll give me something to do, need to collect more clap trap components anyway so I guess I'll just map out all the other chest locations for DLC4 lol. Thanks for creating the table, if that was you ;) 04:59, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * credit for the table goes to airos. our information regarding dlc4 is sadly lacking and any information you may provide will be appreciated: enemy details and strategies, correct mission flow, etc. interesting signature, luccc. you may wish to see Forum:Guide to making a custom signature for user-submitted tips on how to reference your signature (to minimize the amount of codespace that it uses.)

Quick question.. My profile avatar seems to be stuck, I can't change it. Well I can upload a new one but it won't change. Does it usually take a while for the change to take place? Cheers mate. 05:26, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * it can take several days for the wiki server to reset itself. any image problems that arise in the meantime (such as your sig images being left on the Special:WikiActivity) page should resolve themselves. if you continue to have problems a few days from today we'll look deeper into it.

05:29, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

TAB ubx
I didn't know it was possible to survive...because it just kind of never ends. Did something change? Does it have missions now? 00:35, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * the only things that change would be the level of the baddies. on difficult, at 100% completion, "survival" was right. maybe "fought off frustration long enough to keep from throwing my monitor across the room" was more appropriate. the bosses went down easily but getting to the bosses was a level 75 pain in the ass.

HI FryGUy! Mr. Jakobs given a shout...
Spoke to you last night, or this morning, not sure what time it was or how many beers I had...

Im looking and liking what I see here. Very much want to try the The Abandoned Badlands

DLC, looks super fun.

Who do I have to critical to get this going????

Also, sent you an invite on REEM, oops I mean Steam....


 * hello, mr. jakobs. you will first need to install the oasis. then you may have your pick from the list of 3PDLC. you may find TAB amusing for the custom-made weapons. personally, i am partial to the crow's nest and the fifth column for challenge + payoff.

My weapon page: Images
I seem to be having problems with my weapon page: The images don't seem to be loading... Is there an upper limit on images per page? Do you know if I'm doing something wrong? It used to work fine... 07:13, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * no limit on images per page. you are doing nothing wrong. as of the last wiki server reset several images around the wiki were unavailable. the problem appears to have resolved itself within the last few hours, possibly by virtue of another server reset.

23:02, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sweet. I thought it could just be a server/cache thing, but it had lasted a few days (I think/it seems). They're allmost all back, save for a few pearls. Guess there's nothing I (or anyone) can do but wait. Thanks for the tip. 06:38, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Taking care off...
Yo fryguy i'll take care of the End-user created content/TAB from now on. I'll make sure to post any new finds and things about the content a.s.a.p. I... I am the King! 07:32, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

B.t.w.: thank bout making those red descriptions red and adding the - behind them for some reason i couldn't do that... guess i'm still not proficient enough.

(edit)

Also i would like to know why my avatar is so F'd up like it is. It's got like this white beam above it. I tried changing my avatar but it never does (adding a diff. pic). I... I am the King! 15:20, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * thanks, mr. j, for helping to fill out the TAB page. are you editing in WYSIWYG mode or in source mode? source mode will open up many more editing options for you. i took a look at the image you are using for your avatar and found that the white bar is part of the original image. i would suggest either using an image editor (MS Paint, Photoshop, etc.) to remove the bar, or find another appropriate image.

re: my signature
Okay, so I figured out what the problem was. There are just certain bits of code that Chrome doesn't know how to do. One of those bits was the gradient background in my sig. Figured out, though, that I can also put the code for a solid background in there. Firefox will render the gradient, Chrome skips the part it doesn't understand and renders the solid color. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, because I learned something very important regarding  tags and how they interact. It appears to work on my end, how's it look for you? -- 09:18, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Hey fry. I was lookn' around the wiki pages concerning "NPC's" and the like. And i noticed alot of the images being poor quality I mean c'mon that looks terrible right?

Just askn' I... I am the King! 21:34, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

New Wikia feature - Chat
Hi! I'm Mark, from Wikia's Content Team. I'm excited to announce a brand-new Wikia feature - the Chat. The chat has been available for a while in beta, but it was recently added to WikiaLabs, meaning that any local sysop can activate the feature on their wiki! The chat is an excellent way to communicate with less experienced editors and new visitors to the wiki, without having to explain the process of editing entirely using talk pages. In addition to that, the chat also allows you to discuss news about the game easily without having to renew a page all the time waiting for the new messages bubble. Just to be clear, Wikia is not forcing this feature on any wiki, it's completely optional. However, we do recommend the feature as it'll only make editing easier, and attract more editors to the wiki. To activate the feature, visit Special:WikiaLabs and activate the chat. If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page! Cheers, Mark  ( talk ) 22:28, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Range of mag sizes
Wasn't there some initiative to clearly specify mag sizes that can only be a few select choices? It's done for most/all of the revolvers, so why not combat rifles? Logisim 02:24, July 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * if that is what the community wants, and is willing to make standard, then so be it. 03:10, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

The revolver pages were done that way by me because they have such a low fixed possibilty of mag sizes that listing them as 2- 6 seemed confusing to me. With other weapon types having more possible mag sizes, listing them all would most likely be a waste of space. In the case of burst fire Combat rifles having 6, 12, 15 and 18 being only one extra. But if we are going for uniformity then the Revolver pages can be switched back. 03:24, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

as far as mensa is concerned, if you check his join date you will find that s/he/it became a member a few short weeks prior to our good evil doctor and has been a solid editor since. i, personally, am pleased that mensa came back and hope that s/he/it will continue to rampage (double-)checked across the wiki. in the meantime, keep up the good work in keeping our newest editors in check, ricey. thanks for correcting mr. merc's oops.

Editing Baron Flynt
Hello, I want to edit the Baron Flynt page, I'm unhappy about the wording, and feel that what Helena Pierce says about him is also worth noting. The bit about his tribe and what she calls "that infernal contraption of theirs," endangering travelers going towards Santuary. That could mean that he is the reason the drawbridges in the Rust Commons East are up.

I just want to ask permission, so I know I won't wake up the next day and discover that I don't exist on this wiki anymore. PyroMerc 00:05, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * hello, mr. merc. despite the best efforts of this wiki's dictators admins and (our) their facist regime this wiki remains a community wikia and permission to edit is never going to be required. feel free to edit baron flynt's page as you see fit. barring any tourrettes-like fits of vandalism you may sleep peacefully tonight knowing that you will, in fact, be here tomorrow.

just a few notes of concern: this page, like every other mainspace page on this wiki, has been written and re-written hundreds of times, and will most assuredly be re-re-written countless times again. please do not feel poorly when it happens again, because, it will. also, some of the content that i removed recently concerned the mission The Final Piece vice baron flynt himself. please restrict all edits made to mr. flynt's mainspace page to the man himself, his history, involvement, etc.

revolution
Fryguy 42 i came here wondering about the revolution, you edited it back to average/low damage(and kept my edit), when the average/low damage is naturally occuring on Vladof weapons. It isn't a trade-off for increased mag size the fire rate is the trade-off. Just saying cause i was wondering, i know theres other problems like people saying a guns damage is 1-infinity but we still want all the wikis information to be correct (if thats possible!)


 * i'm unsure that there is a way to confirm exactly which attribute is a trade-off for magazine size. however, if vladof weapons typically come with average damage and average fire rate then the existing note seems to stand up to reason. barring reason, if you would provide a link to a reliable source stating that vladof's high magazine size is at the sole expense of damage and not fire rate the page may be changed accordingly. thanks.

thank you, jebn. i was actually looking for an un-equipped image of said weapon. the existing pic shows an extremely high damage aries pegged at level 55, which some readers may find... disheartening... as the other (actual) level 55 aries' are half or less your example's damage. still, nice find. i, too, am partial to long-barreled revolvers sans scopes. i agree with envy in that they make my hunter look "badass."

The Crow's Nest
Hi, I just downloaded TCN, but I haven't the slightest clue how to install it. Can you help? :D Thanks. Auntarie 14:55, November 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * hello, auntarie. welcome to the world of End-User Created Content. you are correct in your post to Forum:Custom_Maps:_best_thing_since_sliced_bread?. you will need to install the oasis prior to installing any other 3PDLC. you will likely also have to install dr. zed's patch, which is commonly attached to 3pdlc files like the oasis. it has been the better part of a year since i downloaded and installed any 3pdlc, mate, and i was never very good at it in the first place. i often use the "carrot-and-stick" method with my pc: eat the carrot and poke at my pc with the stick until it complies. that said, the most important step may be to simply follow the "read me" directions included with the downloads word-for-word. also, i was in the habit of bypassing auto-installers, simply copy/pasting the .rar files to my desktop, unzipping them, and placing the files where they belong.

if you have any troubles feel free to let me know, or create a forum asking for assistance. good luck, and enjoy.

21:30, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

So I installed Oasis, and it seems to work just fine. But for TCN the foldets in which I have to copy stuff (example: Place SofaKingGood.UPK in C:/Program Files/2k Games/Borderlands/WillowGame/CookedPC if you bought retail).

Yeah, I don't have those directories. Neither 2k Games, nor Steam. What do I do now? Auntarie 08:22, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

And another thing, I checked my installation folder/WillowGame/CookedPC and it had files of the same type (.upk), so is the aforementioned just an inappropriate way to say "installation directory"? Auntarie 08:28, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * my expertise is all tapped out, mate. i took the liberty of creating a help desk forum to solicit the community for aid in installing your 3PDLC. good luck and have fun.

I don't ever think that it was widely believed that BL2 for the PC would support split screen without a normally reliable source stating so first.
