=Glossary of (un)familiar terms= drop your term here and someone will define it.

shotty: shotgun

DPS: damage per second

proc: Proc is a common term used primarily in game programming to refer to an event - a "procedure" - triggered under particular circumstances.

stack: end result is additive (+150% critical damage from sniper rifle stacks with mordecai's +6% critical damage from deadly skill)

RB:

DOT: damage over time

area of effect: "splash damage" non-point focal damage over area

FPRPG: first person role playing game

Flinch: is when you shoot an enemy and they temporarily stop, like how shooting a charging Badass Psycho enough can make it stop for a moment.

Non-Trigger Damage: bullet and rocket damage only, not elemental (proc:see above) damage. directed damage not involving DOT or area of effect.

Accuracy Recovery: this is the time it takes your sights to stop wavering and give you an _accurate_ sight picture.

How do I correct wrong information on a Page?
Dr. Clayton,

I found some wrong info on the SDU page "(These "Bonus" SDUs from the second playthrough appear to have been eliminated with the latest patch (1.3.0))". I can verify that I have recieved the Lost Caves and the Safe House SPT SDU's after the Secret Armory DLC on the 360. Now I had to beat the little twerp up to get them (It took four attemps for each) I would say they have about a 25% chance of showing up vs. a grenade mod.

you may change it by whichever means does the least damage to contents you do not disagree with. or add to the discussion on the talk page as i have done with your comments here. 07:03, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Dr. Clayton,

That looks like a really good way of showing the info. I hope that with the further proponderence of evidence and perserverance of players that we can get to the bottom of this. i have found that it is the perserverance that is rewarded.

Negative Criticism
Not really sure how you deal with people being, for lack of a better word "asses", for no reason, but I commented to this kid anyway. Don't know if it really makes a difference, it just seemed unreasonable. - http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/User:Bifbuzz#Screw_up_your_armory_glitch.3F - K1ng 01:48, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hello. There are a couple things I would like to clear up. I'm not sure how to start a new heading on a page so I thought this section would do. If you have been following the discourse between TreeJs and I you alreday have some of the information about this. I will explain it in brief: I made a trivia contribution to the Atlas Aries page, which Treejs did not find appropriate, and removed several times, after it was replaced time and time again by several different users. The last person i saw replace it was K1ng, and i thanked him for it. At this point, Treejs confronted me and made a case for the refernce being non-relevant. I simply disagreed with him, and I invited him to make a new thread in which to discuss it if it bothered him that much. Over the course of this conversation, his attitude escalated, so I responded in kind. The entire history of it can be seen on K1ngs talk page, and also on mine. eventually the reference was left up, and that should have been the end of it. However, since that time, TreeJs has made a habit of tracking every post I make and responding to it in some asinine and provocative manner. Mind you, I don't care about this. I don't expect any intervention. I actually quite enjoy arguing. However, it seems that when the Sysops confront this, TreeJs believes that he is totally in the right, despite him being the initiator of any of the arguments i have had with him. He claims that only his posts are relevant- and that he only posts "facts" despite being innaccurate or contradictory on many occasions- and that is why he can delete comments, yet I am somehow disturbing the board when I delete anything. Like I said, I don't care, I have no problem retaliating on my own, but I just hope you take this into account when you observe the situation, should it happen again. I'm not trying to say I'm blameless, but I feel like I'm being singled out as the instigator, when it is very clear that he has been in every single incident if you check the history. Just bringing this to your attention for future reference, thanks.GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 05:50, April 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * as far as atlas ares is concerned i stated with my edit "in game and greek it is ares, aries is zodiac and constellation". personally i dont think the game (GoW) has anything to do with the gun or our game _but_ that is not for me to decide.  (un)healthy and heated debate comes with the territory in an online community and i dont care who attacks who as long as it happens on talk pages and in the forums.  so long as there are no more edit wars i am content to watch you guys (and everybody else) duke it out.  as long as no one gets "butthurt" flame on!   06:40, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'm taking this as a free pass to be an asshole- outside of racism, sexism, threats, and editing, etc. -just so you know. Only on the forums and talk pages, of course. GT: ConceitedJarrad XBOX360 06:53, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

How do I use the Lilith Template to post my Build?
Dr. Clayton. I have looked over the Lilith Build posted by other gamers and I have not seen the one that I use or really anything that close to it. How do I get a copy of the template to edit and then post my build in the Build Section for Lilith?

I am the Keeper of Useless Knowledge ~ Proven Mayhem 17:16, March 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * KoUK goto Template:Lilith_Build click edit, copy the top half of the page (before the  ), goto any lilith build click the address bar and change the name (end of address) to something clever like oh say Lilith Build_- KoUK (or click this link and change address to what you like), now paste your content over whatever is generated by wikia, fill out table, preview to check your work, add fluff text if desired. save it when you like it.  18:40, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

I need a sysop's help I monkied up someone's build on Mordecai's Build page and was hoping my edit could be removed so that it is reset to the way it was. http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Mordecai_Build:_Blood_Sniper

I am the Keeper of Useless Knowledge ~ Proven Mayhem 12:13, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Dr. Clayton. I am sorry for the late reply, been busy and a little forgetful. I fixed my mistake and it should be back to normal. I am the Keeper of Useless Knowledge ~ Proven Mayhem 14:44, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Forum posts in main namespace
I might be completely wrong here, BUT: So, every day there's another couple of new articles in the main namespace meant to be threads in the Forum: namespace. From each individual forum's page there's an "Add new topic" box, right? What if, these few people are landing on Forum:Index, typing their new topic title into the search box, blindly hitting search, and then clicking the red link to create a new page right at the very top of the search results page?

I'm not saying that's right, it's just the only explanation I can come up with. Looking at other Wikia sites, I can't find instances of the same phenomenon.

So, what if "createbox"es were added to each row in the list of forums on Forum:Index? Thank you for your time. 31stCenturyMatt 06:10, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * im not ignoring you 3.1Kmatt. just considering how/if this can be done, conservatively.   20:15, March 18, 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)

help!
hello, thanks for your message! I'm looking for some help with my level 61 siren. I can only use two guns in battle, for some reason I havent unlocked the full four. I have loads of rare weapons I want to use (esp. when killing crawmerax!) if you could point me in the right direction I would be really grateful! :)


 * you will need to complete the game up through mad mel in dahl headlands to receive weapon sdu mission rewards. this will leave you at new haven in PT1 but since she (your siren)is primarily a craw hunter this should be no problem. the other option is save editing but we dont know your platform so that is up to you. 18:34, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Pardon my french, but what the fuck is an overhaul mod? A Lonely Nomad 19:07, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hello again,

Thanks for answering my first question here! I have another, just wanted to know an important detail regarding the new double add on pack of Mad Moxxi & Dr. Zed's island. I can get a low price on a used disc and the person selling the disc stated that he downloaded the content to his HDD. I'm skeptical because I don't know if I'll be needing a product key of some sort to activate the download into my HDD, or is it just like a regular game you play by just sliding it in the disc drive?

Thanks again!~Envy 360
 * a good question. the purpose of the 2in1 pack is to provide a shortcut to installing the dlcs.  it is in no way different from downloading the packages and purchasing the keys online.  you will notice the price (retail) is essentially the combined price of the two keys and no more.  if you know the seller and they assure you they have not used the keys then you might want to buy it, otherwise you can buy the disc for convenience and acquire your own keys.  to sum up - when you buy the disc you are buying the keys written inside the jacket and getting the convenience of the disc as value added.  used discs are essentially useless without your _own_ keys.   07:33, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

back off 'eh
Thank-you for responding so quickly, I'm totally disgusted in the ignorance of his comments actually - it only brings ill feelings and nothing good can come of thse comments. However, it is people like ECWZGriswald that teach me that I am not the master of myself - due to the fact that they have pushed my buttons. I need to get MY act together and not assume that these people are from the USA - I actually LIKE the USA, what other country can you go to and find entire channels devoted to naked cheerleaders using trampolines to teach us erotic lessons? Anyhow, sorry for my ignorance and thank-you for your time and help. Sisiutl

lobby help
Hi I have just finished playthrough 1 but my 9 y/o daughter is only on level 18 playthrough 1.

Now when ever I try to play splitscreen with her it makes me the host amd seems to put me in playback 2.

I want her to host so that I can help her with her quests

I have tried being the 1st to sign in (XBOX) and selecting playthough 1 on the right hand side of the screen

Can you please tell me if/how I can get around this with step by step instructions.

Thanks, Mick
 * mick & miss, have the young lady start out shooting up the countryside a bit.  then send you (dad) a friend request via your gamertags.  join game and it should be waiting for you as you sign in.  then daughter invites daddy to play _her_ game and that should put mick in overwatch.  please let us/me know if this does not work for any reason and i/we will look into it further.   14:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Character builds
I'm not sure where the conversation went, and I'm definitely not complaining, but I'd like to re-raise the issue of reorganizing all of the character builds. Thanks. 31stCenturyMatt 02:28, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * ah yes. i should never have moved an open conversation to the archive. thank you. i am almost certain you (3.1kMatt) are referring to the inflated page count the wiki enjoys while allowing anyone with a library card add "their own unique one of a kind " build to the pile, yes? 14:17, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's cool, thanks for the reply. Yes, that's what I'm talking about. 31stCenturyMatt 17:19, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * i can not think of a way to exclude the builds from the article counter. if you or anyone can think of a way or want to suggest one do so here or another admin's talk page. 23:55, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * They don't belong in the main name space anyway. As I've stated before, I think the best option is to restrict builds to subpages of their contributors and let category links collect all builds onto a category page (or four category pages). One main namespace article can then link to the lot. -- WarBlade 02:04, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree, we should do something about it. Could we create a new namespace, even, sort of like the forums? Aside from that, Warblade's idea sounds good - if someone didn't sign/note who made a build, we have the page history. -- 11:07, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, a "Character Builds" area is perfectly viable. The reason I suggested user sub-pages is that it offers easier license for the contributor to 'own' a build thanks to the usual courtesies of not editing other users' pages. If a Character Builds section were to be added, it might need it's own set of rules to regulate editing, and I can see that might be harder to implement and busier to police. It's not a bad idea though, and definitely worth exploring as an option. Here's an example of a custom made area of a wiki, in this case set up by the developers of that game for the express purpose of inviting (and commenting on) community feedback. There are plenty of reasons to develop name space beyond the Main, and character builds for Borderlands certainly fits the bill. -- WarBlade 13:02, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good project, I 100% agree with moving them to user subpages. Creating a listing of these builds to aid in navigating beyond the four basic categories would be a great project to take on "some day" but not essential right now. On a trivial note, ~253 of our 1093 articles are character builds (based solely on the character build categories -- I'm sure there's a few oddballs that aren't categorized properly). That's 23.1% :-P. Also, (as far as I know) we can't create new namespaces on Wikia -- we'd need access to the MediaWiki installation on the server. 16:56, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * if it is to be that every build is a sub-page of it's OP then could we not do this by hand? with move? without automation new builds would require similar/same handling. its only ~250 pages fhs. @warblade - your example is wiki vice wikia not necessarily the same rules. do you mean to tell me that moving builds to reside under Character_Builds:Main will take them out of the pagecount or did i misread your point? 21:36, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm uncertain about Wikia's capabilities in this area, and leaning towards user subpages anyway, so back to your earlier question, yes, we can do this by hand. -- WarBlade 23:19, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
