DR.
A, Dr.F, are you a real Dr., or is that just your screen name?
 * i am in fact not a doctor of any kind. dr clayton forester was a character from war of the worlds and on mystery science theater 3000, a tv show on comedy central and the sci-fi channel. 17:47, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Signatures
Do only sysops,moderators or admins get unique custom signatures? ☻BLObOrt☻ 16:18, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

No, Any user can have a custom signature if they wish, there is a section on my talk page which tells you how, look for Claptraps post< 16:58, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

j-nox is correct. anyone can have a custom sig. make a page with your sig. then make a page refering to the first. enter the second page into your preferences pane for signature. it is preferable to have these pages under your user:namespace (such as user:blobort/sig & user:blobort/sig/prefs) 20:20, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

Is "plugging" acceptable?
Hello, Dr. F,

Prissybitch, here with a request. I trust your opinion and judgement. I've recently joined a PS3 gaming group/forum that caters to adult gamers looking for folks to coop with. So far I really enjoy the camaraderie of the group. When I first visited here I found that, sadly, there weren't many PS3 users here to converse with. I still love the wiki and visit it often for game reference.

I would like to drop a plug for the group in the Watercooler forum or even the PS3 trading forum. Would this be acceptable under wiki rules and etiquette? I just want to offer other PS3 users a place to find other PS3 users who still play the game and will be playing BL2.

Any advice you could offer in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Prissy:) 03:10, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * social groups and websites are not subject to the rules for commercial sites. any and all communities and groups for this, or any, game may be endorsed, shamelessly plugged and yes, even pimped.  very good question PB ty4askn.   04:50, May 26, 2012 (UTC) Blogs too. specially blogs.   blogs

Thanks for your support and prompt reply. Good day to ya! 11:43, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

Since when are we IGN's personal video host? Where you aware about this? I'm not sure I can really communicate how much I despise videos on a wiki. They undermine the core "community" aspect of a wiki. They belong on talk, blog or user. NOT mainspace.

Anyways, I was going to remove them, but:
 * 1) They've been here since September 27th and no one has removed them yet.
 * 2) The person to have uploaded them is User:JAlbor, on the "Wikia Community Development Team".

Do you have any stance? happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 17:19, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * there is, unfortunately, a push for videos (yes, any videos) on wikia at the moment. recently, or while you were out, staff hardcoded "related videos" into the format.  i believe this did not get the desired response.  in order for it to seem as though many videos are linked i believe staff is attaching all "official" and corporate partner (IGN is GBX partner in Blands1) videos whether they are published or not.

you may, as an admin, Be Bold and take it upon yourself to move the vids. i dont think even the admins can actually delete wikia video library files. i cannot as i have agreed to go along w/ staff on this and several other projects which may or may not come to fruition.

however comma i must ask this as well. are you ok w/ the challenge walkthrough spam of videos on challenges pages? i cannot take a stand against one and support the other. likewise i do not think we can only suppress jorge's (IGN's) videos. my own opinion is videos may be presented in a blog or forum as visual aids and enjoy the freedom of expression each user is granted in those namespaces. narrated videos, imo, should be banned from the internet forever. that said simple gameplay walkthroughs have been used (1, ONE, per page) since 2009.
 * thank you for asking and allowing me to soapbox.  19:32, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

another wiki
Please please please! For the love of all that is holy! seperate the BL1 and BL2 Wikis.

Thanks!

Barbarians at the gates
Possible fresh blood incoming: http://www.reddit.com/r/Borderlands/comments/18moez/psa_the_borderlands_wiki_needs_you_also_ive_added/

 * You want to take all credits for it huh? So you think your name doesn't stick out on the recent activity page? ;) Let's agree to share the credits for it. ;) But seriously though, I hope incoming redditors will behave themselves and I hope they don't give you too much trouble. --CharredBrain (talk) 17:49, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

BackToTop
Any chance we can put a BackToTopButton in our wikia footer? (This is after my failing to manually code the #top function into a particularly long page.) 07:42, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * please blog or forum proposal. good idea.   17:26, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

zoom
I hope you know the answer. What is the base zoom for weapons? I can't find it anywhere online. A sniper rifle with a 1.0x zoom can see further than a pistol (with scope of course) with 1.0x zoom. So what's the base zoom for each weapon? And how is this measured? Render distance, in-game meters, field of view decrease, aim down the sights?
 * a good question yet difficult to answer. at least one character has skills to change base zoom of every weapon.  i suggest you start a blog or forum to invite research into base of manufacturer's and model's base zoom.  it would draw some interest at the very least.   03:42, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Borderlands main talk page
Hi, I can't figure out how to put a notice at the top of the borderlands page, like the one you did:

It should say to think about creating a the forum before adding and sections may be archived or moved accordingly. It was a complete mess before so I archived some of it. Trig Anomaly (talk) 07:36, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I Archived it a long time ago: [http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Borderlands_Wiki/Archive#Sections_to_be_cleaned.3F archive. ]I was just cleaning it up. Trig Anomaly (talk) 18:47, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * ah. good on ya then.  had me worried.  ill get on that notice.   06:18, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

hammer time
You offered to help, so I thank you. I am currenty looking for a Hammer Buster in Borderlands 2 (level 50 preferably). I have farmed for it in excess of 3000 times. I kid you not. Mcnally has continued to foil my attempts, and I regretably have given up. Therefore I returned here, to find some help, since my search on x box alone has failed. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out, for i really do hate that guy for not dropping it.
 * i suggest you try Forum:Muster XBox and Forum:Item trading XBox 360. also try to finish mcnally w/ a critical for best results.  still not guaranteed.   05:53, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding your undo of 306073 -When do you consider the item to be "generated" - at quest turn in prompt, quest completion, or other? JMJimmy (talk) 20:02, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * an item is generated by gearbot just before the player sees it.  21:06, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Reverted... no explanation
Hello Dr. Clayton,

I made a significant improvement to the Message In A Bottle (Wurmwater) including a full detailed walkthrough and graphic showing the location only to have it completely reverted by Warblade with the only comment being "Restoring to last legitimate version. One update sentence worth salvaging." I'm new to a wiki, but I'm not sure why with no discussion a stub, turned into an easy to read walk through with map, would be unilaterally removed and restored to something containing almost no information.

As I don't know the processes involved in the administration of a wiki, I'm not sure what channels to follow. But seeing your welcome letter and the recommendation on the help page to contact an administrator, I thought I would bring the issue to you. Matthew Edmund (talk) 06:51, March 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * The revisions of your edits have been explained in more depth on the article's talk page. -- WarBlade (talk) 07:29, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

it would seem, you, mr edmund, are removing the infobox mission and adding a notes section with an empty bullet. try editing by section rather than the whole page or preview your edit so as to avoid removing content in place. dont forget to categorize your ulpoads please. 08:26, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

Reminder question
So, you left me a reminder to remember to categorize my uploads, but I only upload pictures very rarely. What'd you mean? Lavisdragoon (talk) 01:52, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * just add a valid category to them at the bottom of the page. you can find your files on your contribs page using "file" namespace.  default category for images is Images, no one can complain about that one.   02:03, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Killing Vulcana
RE: Killing Vulcana
 * I did an experiment.

On the 2nd playthrough, at level 49 I was able to kill allof Vulcana's underlings wit turret, grenades, and a very fast machine gun with a huge magazine.
 * When it got to Vulcana, it was simply impossible to get her health below half.

It did not matter how much damage I poured into her.
 * I did this 3 times.

At level 50 was able to kill her after a decent fight.
 * It just seems like a limiting factor, so players, on playthrough 2, don't atempt General Knox with characters below Level 50.

This was not just a guess.

Stagesmith (talk) 04:43, March 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * did you try the other characters too or just roland? 07:05, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds like an interesting mechanic if true, but it really should go on the article talk page as a theory, so others might prove or disprove it. -- WarBlade (talk) 07:17, March 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * See Damage. If your character is too many levels below an opponent, the damage reduction effectively makes the opponent invulnerable.  A level 49 character has no business in PT2 Knoxx.   Dämmerung 20:04, March 18, 2013 (UTC)

pt2 knoxx boss should be just 1 level above character. hence my question on OPs talk re: 2.5  01:49, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

Could you help me with my LF norfleet page. Thanks

Thanks

Seraph Crystals
Hello, I have seen your video that is on this website on the, Seraph Crystals, and was wondering if you could help me with that, and if it isn't too much I wanted to know if you would help me level up my characters to level 61. ZxX9Jarrod2Xxz (talk) 11:10, April 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seraph Crystals can be obtained from the Invincible raid bosses introduced in the DLCs. Seraph-rarity items can then be purchased from the Seraph Vendors located in each DLC hub.
 * Also, if you are short on level, experience points can be gained by completing missions and killing enemies. Gaining the required number of experience points will allow you to level up and take on even stronger enemies. This leveling feature of the game is also available in solo mode.
 * I trust that the above is sufficient help for you and your adventures in Pandora. Happy hunting. 12:26, April 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Dr. F is available on steam as indicated above. 12:43, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

I al ready know all about the Seraph Crystals, Invincible Raid Bosses, and killing enemies to gain EXP. Also, are you the one that posed this video,  If so I would like your help and need your help, and I appologize for miss reading the title of the video, my mind goes faster than my hands and eyes most of the time and thought it said something about getting unlimited Seraph Crystals. If is not your video, I am sorry for not knowing. ZxX9Jarrod2Xxz (talk) 15:20, April 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * As you may notice in the File history section of that page, the uploader of the YouTube video is in fact User:Thezeldafan911. As you may also notice in his HUD, he has employed gratuitous use of various cheats in his game (873 skill points, incalculable shield capacity and health, permanent on-trigger skill effects, overleveled to 100 for damage bonuses and handicaps, perfect-variant constructed slag ConCall etc.).
 * Said user's method of boosting his ego drop rate is to glitch Master Gee into repeatedly spawning and killing him with a modded arsenal, thus producing a constant supply of Seraph Crystals and the chance of legendary items. This is, of course, unnecessary a hasty method of shortening the laborious task of actually killing a raid boss.
 * For help to be rendered, one would require knowledge of your gaming platform and respective username, which you may wish to provide. What exactly do you require help with? 16:05, April 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * There is actually a deceptively simple way to hit level 61 and acquire all the legendary items. It involves killing enemies repeatedly. And doing missions, that too. But if said missions involve killing enemies, all the better, I say! 16:08, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

it would seem that video has been removed. if i remember correctly it involved and exploit that is no longer viable. the only way i know how to get orange items is in the leviathan's lair (aside from getting friends to dupe theirs that is). and that takes a tremendous amount of patience and perseverance. to answer your question directly, no. that was not my video. 16:12, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your help and I didn't really pay attention to the skill points and lvl he was at, I just missed read the name of the video.ZxX9Jarrod2Xxz (talk) 16:20, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
