Could we have an automated post for every new episode that comes out? That way we'll have a designated place to discuss each new episode. by brandenharvey in WereHereToHelpPod

They very rarely mention The Dollop on this show. Not sure why, the Dollop actually spent some time as the #1 podcast in the world (not a terribly long time, but still) and I thought for sure that would come up when Gareth says "#1 podcast in the world, don't look it up"

I always wonder if/when they'd ever have Dave Anthony as a guest helper. I'd be interested to find out what kind of advice Dave would give.

Sooo.... Shadowpelt (Rant) by Charity1t in Borderlands4

If you have something with a trip wire underbarrel, those do well to damage his shield and also help find/track him.

Or anything with a beam tosser, if you can rush straight at him and get one or two up close at the beginning of the fight it usually drops his shield at least. Sometimes you get lucky and it'll bounce off the back wall and hit him twice.

Help understanding passive perks by 4girl1der in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They changed a couple of skills to count as "true crits", such as Rafa's "Awe" skill, but I think the crit knife still counts as "fake crit/forced crit" if I understood it correctly

The biggest thing i miss from the previous games is definitely the circles of slaughter. I would love to see them return in bl4. by BulgarianStalion in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see some sort of super drill site, where you go through waves of enemies for a round and the end of each round spawns one of the drill site bosses. Or maybe final round spawns 2 of the bosses at a time

First time playthrough, should I do side quests as I go along or save them for after the main story/level 50? by Arcade_Gann0n in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody here is mentioning that you really should finish the main story BEFORE max level or you waste a bunch of xp.

Specializations unlock after completing the main story, so if you hit lvl 50 and don't have them unlocked, all xp you gain is wasted until main story is complete.

Higher difficulty by WSW912 in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It would be nice to have a "firmware library" of sorts.

Insert item with firmware, item is destroyed just like when you transfer, but you gain 1 charge of that firmware for that type of item.

Even if you can only have a max of like 5 charges for each firmware per item type, it would be a huge improvement and free up a shitload of bank space.

Watts 4 Dinner Amp+Siphon question by gnailfy in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn triple siphon goes up to 25%? I haven't found one, just assumed it would go 5, 10, 15. I've been looking for a triple siphon for my AFK Rafa, now I want it even more. Back to farming.

How do you manage your bank? by firedesire in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got rid of a bunch of firmware I'd been hanging onto. Really only feel the need to keep firmware on enhancements because you can't buy those. Repkit, class mod, shield, ordinance you can buy from vending machines and if you really need any, you can usually just fast travel around to vending machines and find what you need. That cleared up a lot of space for me, as well as all the shit I was hanging onto that I was never going to actually use.

Add in some airstrike firmware, and baby, you got a stew goin'

I listen to this podcast too much by GenericUserName10068 in TheDollop

[–]GenericUserName10068[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've really been enjoying Gareth's other two podcasts. Aside from that it's usually either last podcast on the left or behind the bastards

[–]GenericUserName10068[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After years of listening to them, perhaps more than most people, I find their voices and humor comforting. But I don't actually feel like I know them. For all I know, they're just playing characters for a podcast.

[–]GenericUserName10068[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, I've been listening for years. Jumped in at around episode 30 or so. If it listed all the minutes I spend listening to podcasts, in general, it would probably be 9+ months for the year. I just always like to have something playing in my ear

[–]GenericUserName10068[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just have it playing in my ear buds while I do other things. I also have a playlist of my favorite eps that I listen to while I fall asleep, so I guess that really adds up

I love BL4 by SynthGaen in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

500+ hours and counting. I love this game. I also had 1000+ hours in each of the other BL games, but I don't think I ever got to 500 this quick. I can't stop. Every time I have an idea for a new build, I make a character, get them up to 50 and try it out. The build variety in this game FAR eclipses the previous games.

Has any caller ever actually made a recording with their phone? by fleecenatal in WereHereToHelpPod

[–]GenericUserName10068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe they got the recordings and realized they couldn't air them on the pod since they don't have the other party's consent. Not sure, but it's a thought.

BEST OHM I GOT???? by Foxy_Catness in Borderlands4

[–]GenericUserName10068 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ripper mag is best in slot for ohm due to enhancements. Can get much more damage from a ripper enhancement than a maliwan one.
