=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: Right Bumper

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.

construct: a weapon/item put together in WT so that it is legit however it has all parts geared for a purpose (damage, tech, ROF, recharge, regen, power)

WT: Willowtree

ROF: Rate of fire

namespace: user namespace

mainspace: main namespace

speedloader: the half/full moon clips depicted in the game, used to load revolver, shotgun and sniper cylinders.

The Fudd: the seeming dance performed by players sorting through craw or loot-n-the-box drops. slowly moving, weapon in hand, looking down or directly ahead. "be vewy kwyette, im hunting ___"

aggro: short for aggravate, is an internal measurement for how much of a threat the AI considers an individual player to be. The more aggro a player holds, the more highly that player will be prioritized for attacks and skill usage by the AI. Commonly misused instead of the term "pull" (i.e. aggro that enemy = pull that enemy).

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)

I just posted my first message. Have watched forum for many months and never been able to figure out HOW to post a reply or add on to a message. Still unsure. I would like to pat you on the back for your many contributions to this wiki, but never knew how. I read this daily before jumping in to play the game. Please send me specifics on HOW to add a comment to someone's message. Thanks. Gensuknives.You WILL die....I know...I did. 14:44, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * Borderlands 2 will not be released until Duke Nukem has had its run. so as not to compete with their own game.  as of this writing GBX has two announced games in development and two unannounced games in development.  one is likely the "no-brainer" blands2.   23:26, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Rarity?
Just saw your edit on the Revolver page, and I was wondering about the policies regarding rarity. For example, you labeled them Common, but they can spawn up to Purple. So do you leave them as common, or should they be labeled Common - Purple (Common through Purple) for any weapon? 22:38, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * rarity common was discussed long ago and is slowly being implemented. as a rarity it is all levels of white to purple meaning that the item can be multiple rarities.  this to dissuade editors from constantly changing the rarity of something because they have found a green/purple/whathaveyou.  i see your point that it has not been documented in rarity.  would you care to do so?   22:50, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know where the page can be found. 22:59, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Rarity oddly enough. 02:08, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Specter mod
Here is the code from willowtree to get a Specter mod body:


 * dlc3_gd_CommandDecks.Body_Command.Lilith_Hyperion_Specter

Apparantly, in DLC3 all 4 characters were assigned one (1) new non-loyalty class mod as well as 3 loyalty class mods. The specter class mod is one of the non-loyalty class mods, I mistakenly thought that it was a hyperion loyalty mod, which isn't possible considering that the Hyperion loyalty mod belongs to the Hunter. (By the way I am the who has been discussing the Specter Mod with you recently, I just wasn't signed because I forgot that I logged out and had to re-log in.) PKU L0NG5H0T the death that&#39;s waiting for you in the distance 02:06, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * longshot - i agree. the COMs can be labelled as hyperion etc. but not loyalty.  you may add it back if you have the time and kindly would you look over the chart to check that all COMs labelled loyalty are in fact loyalty and not just a singlular manufacturer's?  and thank you for your contributions.   09:22, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hey!!
Im user Fugu72, who you banned a few days ago, and for which I had zero chance to explain or reply to anyone...since my IP was banned. I just read your message tonite about me uploading stuff like a moron and overwriting files which were linked to other pages and all I wanted to I apologize for that. Despite your belief, I did not know what I was doing. I knew I was doing something wrong when my files started been removed last tuesday and beleive me I felt pretty bad. I didnt hink I could mess up a website to which I had acces to editing pages. Again, Im really sorry for the trouble I caused, I only wanted to help by sharing the pictures of weapons I found but I will admit been a little short on patience whenit comes to reading and despite my asking for help to the staff a few months ago, I never quite understood how I could contribute to this very neat website and since a few of the pictures I uplaoded 5-6 months ago stayed, I didnt know I was doing it wrong.

I wish I had a chance to explain before I was banend forever but again, given my IP was banned I couldnt even find a way to reach you to apologize and explain what hapenned. I dont expect you to un-ban me because its my word against....well...nothing...but I felt real bad for causing trouble and if it was the last you heard from me here, at least I got a chance to speak.

Sorry again and take care!

Fugu72173.177.153.133 05:23, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * you are unbanned. try naming your files differently so as to not overwrite other folks files.  and publish them somewhere, if not on the item's talk page, put them on your page (with which you can do whatever you want).  this way they will not be orphaned.  look at other people's pages if you want ideas.  thank you for going out of your way to explain this unpleasantness.   welcome back and enjoy!   09:16, December 17, 2010 (UTC)  ps - only the item cards which are digital camera pictures need to be replaced.  try the forums next time (almost anything goes there).
 * out of curiosity who did you ask for help? if it was me i apologiz/se for missing it.

Hi!!

Thanks for unblocking me, rest assured that you will not have to block me again.

I have understood a few things in the last few days, reading around and all. I didnt even notice you had left a message on my talk page till this morning where I noticed you asking me NOT to overwrite files. I dont want to bother you with all the questions I have about helping this wiki with new picture files but I do want to know how things work. From what I understand, it is only allowed to upload a new file for a weapon if the file name is identical, therefor, it is actually updating this exact weapon picture. I also notice on my talk page you have mentionned that I have made mistakes in the past uploading revolver files (again really sorry)   Have I noticed my talk page sooner, I would have asked before uploading anything else but I  didnt

I didnt expect to be given a second chance to participate, but i really dont wanna mess up again so is there a page where I can easily read the rules and guidelines on how to upload, I would really appreciate. I have over a thousand screenshots from weapons (no green or white) and if I can help you and the others with some interesting variant of legendary weapons and such, please let me know. In the mean time, Ill stick to reading and watching untill Im sure Im not repeating my mistakes.

Thanks again for your trust, wont let you down!

Frank Fugu72 01:11, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * please do not upload images of items where the image is in use somewhere on the wiki. this is indicated by the featured on link at the bottom of the page.  best to not overwrite someone else's file.  you can do this by naming them ___fugu or fugu___.  if you want you can upload all your good stuff to your userpage and then start adding them to the known models lists on talk pages.  if you want help ask me or another admin or try the forums under watercooler.  if you want to help keep an eye on the Borderlands_Wiki:Needhelp page or check my bounty board.   07:21, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Weapon update
Hey!!

Im really slowly getting this website, I just noticed that all the messages I left you were actually lower on your talk page...and that you had answered ALL my recently asked questions.... sigh.. :O(   Ok to answer your question about the help I got before,I dont know how I managed to contact them and get them to answer me caus its been a while, but its the people from wikia (Sarah), but as I understand from their last email, they dont cover specific wiki such as borderland so they couldnt help me too much with the pic situation. I think last time they just took my files and probably contacted you to upload them.  Anyways,  Ill just stick to "trying" to put stuff on my page.

Again sorry for the trouble I caused before, I was under the impression that the idea of the weapon picture update was to show the most powereful/valuable weapon found in the game so whenever I had a gun that was better than what I saw on the website, I figured Id update it and put what I had found...this is why I uploaded so many weapons...some of them as you said were barely appropriate.

Thanks for your help, Ill try to put it to good use from now on.

shank's place
Have you ever had a question raised on the dlc T-Bone Junction, where you enter the Palace to kill Mr Shank? I have played for hourse with my partner, and twice we've tried to get into this palace. The first time, there was a green screen, and then it ditched us so we had to start again, making our entire day a waste of time!

Then, about an hour ago, we finally crawled our way back in and - green screen again! This time, though, it let us get into the palace, only to find the screens so badly pixelated that you couldn't see where you were going, where your partner was, where the enemies were, nor - indeed - whether you were looking at the floor or ceiling! It is totally unplayable and I am, frankly, extremely disappointed and frustrated. Have you had any similar comments? Is there anything we should be doing to make this issue less of a problem?

Bikertazza 19:14, December 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * working on that. brb.   19:20, December 28, 2010 (UTC)   any chance of a screenshot/picture?  🇵🇳,, or ?

Shank's Palace
Thanks for that. Sadly, we will have to start all over again, but if/when we get there again, I will take some photos with a good old-fashioned DSLR! (it's on our TV with PS3, so screenshots not so easy!)

Sorry, wasn't sure how to just add on after my last listing, so I've done a new subject...

Just out of curiosity, what is the Black Knight for and why does it link to Nagy's contributions page? Is it some sort of comparison or am I to use him as an example of how to conduct myself ? I am a little slow when it comes to these sort of things ;)Veggienater 05:57, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * ( The Evil Dr. F's note - the doctor was in a rush and copy pasted nagy's box. note the format in source, idiomatic of the nag.)

(the link is vestigal. no comparison is implied or intended.)

06:23, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

its taken me about 6 months (maybe more) to realize that Dr. F was the name of the Scientist in Mystery Science Theater 3000. And TV's Frank.

I am a smart.

So anyway

what have I missed since my last surfacing? Any AtlasSoldier like moments?

An idea for a possible new forum
Hey, I have an idea for a possible new forum. What about a forum where we can post character builds for other members to comment and even offer advice on? It would be perfect for those like me who want comments on their builds but don't get any because their user pages get minimal exposure. If not this, is there any forums that already exist where I can do such a thing as post a link to my build page so people can see and comment on it? 15:55, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * There have not been many, if any, character builds in the forums. What there have been are misplaced ones created as articles, and correctly-placed ones in the user subpages - most of which are simply a display of point distribution instead of in the interests of discussion and advice. Personally, I think there are too many skill points and too few skills for such diverse distribution options, but there is still room for refinement if a build is made for a particular purpose.
 * As mentioned, the most convenient place to put your character builds is on your user subpage, e.g. User:Kev-Mas_Colcha/Insert_build_name_here which allows for autonomy over your pages (as opposed to forums which are prone to uneraseable junk). Revisions to that page will still be visible on the wiki activity feed, and you may extend an invitation for feedback then.
 * Or you could just create a forum topic. But I doubt if there would be enough of such threads to warrant a separate forum subsection. Then again, the musters are dead. 16:38, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

forum header is watercooler (scuttlebutt) for general discussion. if memory serves there are/have been 3 forums with builds included. to protect your build i suggest transcluding your page ie. note the preceding colon. there is no policy against builds in forums. it just never caught on. this wiki's policy is no builds in main namespace due to page count glut. user namespace and forum mainspace are fair game. 17:05, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Does this work? 17:47, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * im gonna go with yes seeing as how youve already got mileage out of it and that is precisely what i meant by transcluding your build.

steam
shows the install for "Borderlands" as 7000 MB. considering reloaded is at 12.1 GB with all DLCs, I'm assuming this 7000 MB is only for vanilla. if so, how am I to unlock goty content? and by "Borderlands" I mean that's what it says on the game list, no goty stuff. 16:45, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * it installs the full 12. then asks for keys, which are available from right click game in library, when accessed.   16:51, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Screenshot
I was trying to find out how to take and post a screenshot. I guess on the PS3 the only way is to take a camera and shoot a pic of the screen and then upload it.

My little camera is so crappy it took lousy shots so I will probably abandon my gallery project.

Thanks.Gensuknives 12:50, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

I think there is a way if your PS3 is linked to your PC... Dont give up yet, there are many people here to help you, you can also post a forum in the watercooler and ask for help :) I am the best robot 13:02, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

My PS3 is not linked to my PC, only to the monitor they both share. I tried to hit PrintScreen but it would not paste to Paint so I couldn't crop or size it. I couldn't find the image anywhere after I hit PrintScreen. ????Gensuknives 20:07, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * robot may be teasing you. pcs will not capture screens not generated by _that_ pc. use a phone or vado or ipod or web cam. if it looks usable you already know you can resize and save as jpeg with paint. keep us/me posted. 22:15, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, (other than impersonating a robot) I never tease users... I do know that a pc is vital for xbox to mod on, I was just trying to encourage :) I only tease ADMINS about what they may or may not have in their basement :p I am the best robot 06:29, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

I will give the webcam a try. My only concern is "How to capture a shot of the monitor screen" while it is in use by my PS3 ingame??? Will see if I can get it to work. More news later.Gensuknives 13:25, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * that is actually a very good point. if you have an input selector you could line up the shot and prepare then switch to ps3 (which i assume is rca video in) and capture then switch back.  admittedly its a lot of work but im frankly agog to know if it works.  (alas, if they are both HDMI you will need to physically switch them)   14:11, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
