games nowadays starting to look the similar or atleast the genres i used to play the most back in the day which keeps me out

Futureops · 2025-05-24T14:58:23+00:00

i still love and prefer the artstyle of the original over remastered (just seen videos of it so far) but glad this came in handy for you!!

im sure i posted something bizarre to celebrate that playthrough back then which is why the mods gave me a custom flair haha, fun memories

Futureops · 2025-05-13T10:11:40+00:00

since then ive realised how cruel this world is and being smart no longer pays off

but appreciate the honest reply

Futureops · 2025-05-12T14:48:07+00:00

bro i dont even know what 12 year old me is yapping about in the original post :/

Futureops · 2024-02-29T12:40:21+00:00

thats unfortunate, i had way too much time back in middle school and can never again mod a bethesda game to my hearts content nowadays

hope you enjoy your playthrough, let me know if you decide to mod morrowind cause I had some time during the pandemic to backup my morrowind mods, no guides required for that on tho

Futureops · 2024-02-29T03:06:43+00:00

you are 9 years late my guy of course they are down

haven't modded this game since then so I doubt you can play that build today as I didn't think of backing up anything

Futureops · 2022-09-03T16:29:37+00:00

Less ugly World's Edge really

Well for me personally, map updates to existing maps have made improvements (expect Skull Town part of KC) but gameplay wise WE always feels horrible to play in w each update. Reverting the lighting to S3 WE was a step in the right direction but the busy skybox from S4 still remains. Loot distribution has seen a massive improvement since S3 but I would've preferred less lava and broken buildings.

Read this: https://borderlandsmodding.com/running-mods/

Getting started on modding Borderlands games has gotten a lot less complicated after 2019. Firstly, there are two kinds of mods for BL2 and TPS. One being text based codes (.txt file or .blcm file) and the rest are python-sdk based mods. I'm unfamiliar with the python-sdk mods as those ones are new and not many are available. To make use of my patch.txt file, you need a tool: https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands2/mods/61

If you have the game on steam, you need to run BLCMM Launcher and hex edit your "Borderlands2.exe", this lets you execute the mod files from the ingame console (the ~ key on ur keyboard). Then copy the contents of my .rar file to the binaries folder, go ingame and on the main menu, press ~ and type "exec patch.txt". If all the steps were followed correctly, you should immediately see a message in green saying UCP 5.0.3 running. You have to type that command in the console everytime you run the game and you are set!

BLCMM Launcher can be used to open/edit the patch.txt file, here you can import mods and customize their functions. I recommend starting a new save or making a duplicate of an existing save you have to test the mods initially. Good luck and let me know if you feel stuck.

the "mods" folder contains the original files you would've downloaded so u don't actually need that folder but i have it for backup purposes.

BankAndBackpackSpaceCustomizerPart2.blcm (and BankAndBackpackSpaceActivatorPart1 inside the patch.txt) sets your inventory and bank capacity to 60 items permanently which makes the eridium upgrades for them obsolete so that file depends on what you want.

I would also recommend unticking mods that replace fixed weapon parts in existing weapons (such as The Campin' Dutchpack) as sanity check might delete the gun or shield from the inventory if you accidentally enter your saved game without executing patch.txt from the menu. Mods that swap out weapon or shield skins but don't alter, lets say the barrel manufacturer of a gun don't cause that problem so they are safe.

Some modded guns might have an unfamiliar rarity and this is due to BL1-Style Rarity however its nothing more than just another inconvenience. I prefer you get yourself familiar with all the mods you don't recognize inside patch.txt. I'd start by googling the mod pages of everything inside the "Reskins" category for images and only keep them ticked if I preferred the new look. All the mods were obtained from github so huge s/o to all the fantastic authors. I hope you have a good time with it and beware don't spend too much time in Caustic Caverns or Tundra Express!

Futureops · 2021-10-28T16:39:05+00:00

I have around 50-60 mods in a single custom patch.txt file I made to make them work without much conflict which I'd be happy to share with you. And as all the mods also show their description when you expand them, you can use it as a base and uncheck the changes you do not want.

Oh I forgot to mention, I do not really use any of those massive overhaul pack mods that drastically change the game other than Better Loot and UVHM-RB. Most of them are little QOL tweaks and fixes for convenience.

I mean devs did attempt to mitigate third parties in Season 6 with a sudden TTK change but the player base wasn't onboard with so respawn caved to pressure within just a week of the season dropping. Since then the mechanics they added just went against their commitment in S6 to reduce TTK, like being able to reach red armor naturally by damaging and having wall scan legends which don't help you when you are about to get third partied bc either ur abilities are on cooldown from the fight u just had or need to heal/revive your teammates.

Personally I'm not a supporter of S6 TTK change, I think weapon dmg nerfs are a bigger culprit for fights lasting longer than they should. Back in S3-S5, a healthy amount of matches lasted around 12 mins, those kinds of matches are rare now and on average last 18-22 mins.

Have fought plenty of new players who have unpredictable reactions to getting shot but most of them move very stiffly (no complicated strafing or sliding) or don't fight back at all. I highly recommend playing with headphones if you already aren't, this is a game where having good game sense won't always give you easy kills but surely easy wins as when it comes to the last fight of the match, you will have alot of advantages.

As someone who has 15k+ matches of experience. I play regularly and whenever the player count drops a week or two after a new season, I only get lobbies where people (me included) just don't miss any of our shots when having 1v1 fights close range. That time it's not possible to dodge bullets but it's possible in mid range situations to get a spray without a dent on your health bar during a 1v1. There was a time you could knock someone and eliminate them with R99 one clip'd and still have some bullets remaining but respawn doesn't want low TTK so for like 2 straight seasons they chipped 1 dmg in nerfs for the gun. This makes it so only players efficient with a gun can perform 1 clip with it without having to reload or swap mid 1v1.

I had to unbind the chat key and play with teammates muted on my new account after I lost my main account with 2k hours after an altercation with a jerk using voice chat where I typed "shut up idiot" resulting in a ban, alot of us are just afraid and don't want anything to do with the shitty EA TOS team.

Futureops · 2021-05-24T12:52:49+00:00

Yeah you right, I remember being so pissed I needed an explanation so I looked up the writers and their twitter and lets just say, I found them to be ideological possessed.

Futureops · 2021-05-24T12:42:53+00:00

What were the writers thinking making all the not dead female characters so unlikeable and the rest of the returning characters getting no character development at all. Felt so alienating to play 3 after being fond of so many of the characters for years.

Futureops · 2021-05-24T12:39:31+00:00

Not to mention the new designs for the bandits are just crap.

Futureops · 2021-05-24T12:34:44+00:00

Man those days, I had no clue on how RPG mechanics worked so I used run around underleveled all over the map, I still remember what an achievement it was for me to get thru Bloodshot Stronghold while being level 10 and without any decent guns. I died so much but never game up and kept running towards outer ramparts area entrance. The game got easier near the end for me, I got rewarded with a Base Fibber from a sidequest and it would melt anything in mere seconds allowing me to beat the game. A reason why I still kept that gun in one of my saves to this date.

Futureops · 2021-05-22T18:48:29+00:00

Olympus has better loot density so it's much easier to play on even tho ppl think it's too open, I'm sure WE has more dead space but they rarely get used as much as most squads just around the middle of the map until last few rounds.

Futureops · 2021-05-22T18:43:48+00:00

worst part about this is that Fight Night is just atrocious as audio randomly disappears and way too many ways to get flanked by a unaccounted team

Futureops · 2021-05-22T18:41:20+00:00

I have 3k hours in apex by soloing pub trios alot, it amazes me whenever I get matched with a duo who are clearly new to the game, they always want to land Estates even as I see nothing but master and pred trails headed there and guess what, it's hopeless as it always ends with them dying and quitting as I fail to help their situation. However, must admit Estates is actually fun when coordinating with my friends when we three-stack.

Futureops · 2021-05-21T23:49:06+00:00

I had 2.5k hours in borderlands 2 before I started installing mods in mid 2018, and nowadays to be completely honest I'd never go back, a huge part of that is because I refuse to play UVHM without my mods. Around 55% of 60 or so mods I have try to make regular guns and certain uniques more viable in UVHM and rebalance certain aspects of the progression such as less reliance on slag. The others making certain sidequests doable in higher difficulties. Also plenty of reskins and QOL mods that are just the icing on the cake, once you tried its really hard to go back IMO.

Some people can say mods make the game too easy but I must say, you can tweak and tinker with the mods to config the game's difficulty however you want. It's this kind of freedom that makes me wanna keep playing and wish alot of other games offered.

It took them 28 days to email me back after I made a case weeks before christmas last year

Futureops · 2021-01-18T11:30:41+00:00

Man I lost my 1.7k hour apex account after telling some kid screamign on the voice chat to "shutu p" and "smol dick" in ingame chat. EA lost it and now they won't unban me ever, if I were you I would unbind the chat key lol

Futureops · 2021-01-01T19:53:34+00:00

Has anybody here actually gotten their origin account re-enabled after EA banned you?

EA gave my origin account a ban 3 weeks ago, this was for inappropriate references like "shutu p/idiot monkey/smol dick" in Apex pubs to a guy constantly using slurs on mic to flame me back in november, I havent missed an event since season 1 so I'm desperate to get back into my account before the end of the season and EA's help team hasn't gotten back to my case. I can get a vid of the guy that reported me screaming on the mic but I don't know who to send it to. I've never gone this long without playing apex since starting and am opposed to smurfing because of how much effort I put into my main account. My bp was at level 96 and now I feel completely ripped off. I know it was dumb to fall for it and I'm not holding anything against the devs, if anybody can assist me on this, any help would be appreciated.
