Not looking for direct credit :P but I did this mission back in June. Dr.F must have forgot to cross it off the list back then. I think EndoMus came in and cleaned up the stragglers that may have been posted after that time. just letting you know, again not looking for credit. 20:53, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Aries Screencap
I posted the equiped Aries screencap on the talk page, thought it would be better there.
 * an unequipped, cropped version would be better still.  01:07, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

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."

 * whatchoo talkin' 'bout, veg?? I was editing from the library, lost out to a reservation, and had just a few seconds to fire off a "c'ya" before I got shut down. (Having a bit of a tiff with my isp, don'tcha know.) We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow, mate. 208.54.7.141 23:59, November 7, 2011 (UTC)

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.

20:33, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

wahhh..
i've tried several times to bump up your dlc4 forum page and it wont let me. did you do something to it so that only you can edit it? YCANIHASNOBUMP? /sad. 04:45, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * did you try the *bump button? 06:26, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

yus, i just remembered this has happened before because wikia likes to not let me publish things every now and then. 21:29, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

undo
please summarize if new (better for sysops to always). 21:48, November 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * summaries are always left for undone edits that appear to have been made in good faith. in this case the edit did not appear to be in good faith as the UC removed all category templates from the page. this edit was either a mistake, which i fixed, or minor vandalism, for which i rather graciously declined to smack the UC upside the head with a banstick for.

20:15, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

i misspoke. summarize all undo if sysop. 01:29, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Popular Belief
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. It was erroneously reported as such by IGN first, beliefs followed. It wasn't an unsubstantiated rumor. Shouldn't the BL2 note on the matter reflect that? 12:40, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Image Orphanage
I don't follow. Do you mean This image? Because I put that in the New Haven page.

--The Milkman 09:10, December 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * nup. not the new haven pic. the panda head pic that i posted on your talky was flagged for deletion because it was unused. as stated, i moved it there to unorphan it. if it is no longer needed / desired let me know and it will be deleted. thanks, much.

 * Rejoice not, O Regular Contributor, for thy helpful and well-reasoned edits have drawn the ire of Vandlor! Chieftain of the Trollkind, Maester of the Juvenile Kindred, Protector of the Basement Dwellers, and Lord of Lulz!

DLC4
WOW. when ya said you were going to fill in some of the Robolution pages I had no ideaer ya were gonna go all fancy on 'um :P. That looks like a lot of work. Had no idea the pages were that lacking in content, though i admit I didnt have a chance to look them over either. If i could nominate you for UoTM, i would, just for that. 04:09, December 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * thank you, veg, for the nod. the hardest part, really, is getting the skags and spiderants to sit still and smile for pictures. the bandits are easy. i just hold a squeaky toy over the camera and they stand rapt. there's still plenty of work to be done. images of the different claptraps, hyperion soldiers, mission rewards... the damn rakk-trap hive won't stand still for pics... badass psycho-traps try to eat me whenever i say "cheese..." i haven't the slightest idea what a hyperion sapper does... don't get me started on the rakk-traps... and there's still a lot of missing info, stuff we don't even have listed, like the dead rakk-trap hive, the saying on the rakk-trap hive's butt, the mines that the minac drops. I'm not even going to touch the crate locations. it's gonna take a few more playthrough's. and you know how much i love this dlc.

04:36, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

Well, since you know wha' neez ta be did, you sound like the man/woman/child/thing for the j.o.b. :P looking at some of the pics you posted, as many times as i have played DLC 4, i never noticed the Trap'ed objects such as the rocks and cactus. That is not good on my part, Doh ! -- 04:53, December 15, 2011 (UTC)

accidental content wipe
Hi. I recently tried to change an entry for the Tetanus Warrens Weapons Crate Location page, but I think I deleted some important information because the now no information is showing up on the page. Before there were links and text, now nothing. My sincerest apologies. ):
 * no worries, dotonesixtwo. anything that has been done can be undone. and has, in this case. we (the wiki) appreciate the map listing the chest locations in the tetanus warrens. however, the way that the image was displayed does not conform to wiki standards. kindly upload the image to the wiki for proper display. thanks, much.

21:04, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Heyooo!
Long time no talk :) Im back cause I heard there was gonna be a Borderlands sequel. Remember the legendary weapons idea thread? Good times. A Lonely Nomad 21:53, December 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * nomad's back, y'all! colon closed parentheses a sequel, you say? tell me more... you used to own the nlwi's, cap'n. i'm still getting hits on that thread, and i'm still working on it. it's going to be fun scrubbing all of the new stuph in bl2 for nlwi's. i'm taking preemptive credit for "sexual tyrannosaurus." welcome back, mate. now get out and push!

L69 Lady Finger!
Smokin' Jesus etc., etc. And with x2 corrosive, even. Did you convince Moe to drop that?? Dämmerung 00:02, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * i did. you may be surprised to know that moe is actually a quite intelligent and reasonable person to deal with. we sat down for a beer or three and really hit it off. then i shot him in the face with my new cobra. grabbed a few more LF's, too, shock, double, etc. still need a blast. i wonder if it can come with a blade...?

00:22, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

frynote: i don't mod. everything i find / post is from the game, albeit probably found while playing 3PDLC.


 * Pretty sure that LF can spawn with any accessory in PT2 and beyond. Stabilizer would be my dream pick.   Dämmerung 00:28, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Breasts.
That is all.

23:18, January 5, 2012 (UTC) it wouldn't do to forget the token fuckup edit.

RE; missing info
Hi Fryguy. I'm not familiar with that daily report, but because it comes from community@wikia.com, I would recommend sending an email to that address (or using Special:Contact, which goes to the same place - the Community Support team) asking what's wrong. You specifically mentioned needing the number of views. All Wikia wikis are tracked by Quantcast, so you can check daily page views, visits and people (uniques) at http://www.quantcast.com/borderlands.wikia.com

Hope that helps. Keep up the great work you guys are doing! Borderlands was my favorite game of 2009. Can't freaking wait for the sequel. :) JoePlay http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb33036/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (talk)  00:04, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * thanksfor the swift response, joe, and for the link. central has my email; hopefully this can be resolved quickly. in the meantime i'll see what quantcast has to say. it will do well to have their site as a backup incase this bug occurs again. good gaming. 00:56, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Bumper stickers
I'm curious how to make the "bumper stickers" such as "has completed --- DLC" and others. I would like to dress up my user page. Thanks.PrissyB*tch
 * hiya, prissy. welcome to the wiki. we call 'em "userboxes," or ubx's for short. you can find a gallery of ubx's that have been released to the public domain in the userbox gallery. you can copy / paste the or you can get fancy and crack into source mode and tweak them to your liking. some users don't overly mind it if you borrow their own custom-made ubx's, but discretion is the better part of wiki editing. enjoy.  03:15, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there P.B. I can also help you with UBX's if you like, though you seem to have some skill with wiki code already. You may also copy and alter any UBX on my page if you like. -- 04:03, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

taking credit all by yourself? no one helped? 00:09, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * figure out who helped, if anybody, and feel free to add them. 00:11, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Dazed and confused
It works a treat on Turrets, too, which I never fail to find hilarious.

I'll cook up a page on Daze. Will prevent cut and paste between Bash, Aerial Impact, Striking, Dramatic Entrance, and Mind Games n-factorial times. Dämmerung 00:41, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * i agree that daze does warrant its own (albeit small) page. it is a status effect, and a useful one at that. thanks, much. 00:44, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Any suggestions for status-effect-page prior art, before I start sandboxing? Dämmerung 00:46, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * "sandboxing" was exactly what i was going to mention. a (prospective) new page like this is best done in the same manner that the grenade pages were done. the most likely image would be of a dazed enemy. don't recall any on the wiki atm. 00:50, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Crippled is kinda sorta prior art, but it's a player status, not an enemy status. Oh, well. I'll cook up something, and then everybody can throw rocks at it. Dämmerung 00:56, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * please make a page including all status effects and affects. overwrite crippled or fry will do it for us. this would help consolidation _and_ standardization. 01:06, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Status uffects will be included as well. But seriously. I don't see Daze and Cripple as easily being shoehorned into the same bucket. One is an enemy state, and invites discussion on how to introduce the state, what to expect from foes afflicted with the state, and what to do with said foes. The other is a player state, and invites very different discussion. It'd be like listing Bloodwing in a Category:Flying Enemies. Dämmerung 01:29, January 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * the recent changes are concurrent with ongoing chat with the good doctor via gmail chat. would you care to take the discussion to wikiachat? i'm there now. i'll see if the doctor in. 01:32, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Real time communication! How quaint!! I have to run out for groceries: see y'all in thirty, perhaps. Otherwise, y'all figure out the right thing. Dämmerung 01:34, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * looks like neither doc nor myself will be on chat tonite. hit me up tomorrow on wikichat and we'll thrash out the details. 02:39, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hammering out something Q&D in scratchspace now. Talk to you tomorrow.  Oh, I was wrong: players can be Dazed.  By Tankensteins.  Not sure if any other way.   Dämmerung 03:00, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Here's a first cut. Tear it up. Dämmerung 06:38, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

You scared me
Nobody knows me over at the Fallout wikia.

Also, what's this about?
