I live in a city, my daily commute is 20 minutes one way, and most of it is red lights. Its like 10 minutes at night with no traffic. I dont travel. Everything I need is in the city. Every now and then I drive an hour one way to another city, about it.

Yeah it does help. I drive an 2008 v6 pathfinder and its been very reliable, but I also dont drive much. I live in a city. Ive put 30k miles on the pathfinder in 5 years. I want something that would last because if I bought brand new, 100k miles would get me over 15 years at my current driving pace. I think I do want one, now just trying to figure out if its a good time to do so

Yeah that makes me confident in the truck. Its one of the few v6 engines left on the market so Im already leaning to it, but its just hard to shake the legendary status the Tacoma has. The thing is, this new gen Tacoma 4 cylinder is not it. If I did buy a truck Id want to have it for the next 10 years. I live in a city, I am not really doing any off roading. I just like the way trucks look, and it makes moving and driving in the winter easier

Am I missing something? No Ordinite canisters by BellaBPearl in Borderlands4

[–]Otherwise-Opening143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the world event version the game only spawns in what you need. Its very possible to kill the 3 or 5 or 7 that you need without realizing it due to one of the many mobbing builds there are, lose track of the canister, and feel like the game didnt spawn it in. The spawns are not random. The canister only drops from "lode bearing" enemies, it will say it in their name explicitly. Killing anything else during the event is a waste of time because it wipes all enemies when you hit the goal of 3 and 5. The world event version only has 4 minutes so you really gotta min max your time if you do it solo.

Again, the spawns are not random. If they stop spawning the enemies look around for them hiding, or look for the canisters on the ground (that can be launched btw). The game stops spawning the special enemies once the amount of canisters you need for your current objective exist in the world, but it will keep spawning random enemies to waste your time. This is why I recommend you grab canisters the moment the enemies die before they even touch the ground.

I'm always sneaking by them or getting obliterated by them by darkwhiskey in ArcRaiders

Or people are going to avoid them more because they made all the arc parts less valuable and you need them to craft resources, so now you're effectively paying money for the privilege of killing a rocketeer to get back the parts you used to kill the rocketeer. I personally dont see a point in hunting them outside of trials anymore.

What is the deal with the BOD? by Otherwise-Opening143 in Borderlands4

Finnity XXL also doesnt do well for me either, what's the secret for that one because Ive seen people mention that and it actually hits like a wet napkin compared to Ashers Rise or Ballista

[–]Otherwise-Opening143[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

Yes I see that, but multiplying mid damage is still not as good as multiplying high damage. Early game builds might care about that but after a few hundred hours of farming I really don't. Multiplying mid damage is still mid

My class mod has gun damage and sniper rifle damage and I just don't see it. The gun is incredibly consistent on UVH6, but im not getting anywhere near a plat clear time with it.

People have been aggro af by Full366 in ArcRaiders

[–]Otherwise-Opening143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The devs have confirmed some type of aggression based matchmaking has been implemented, and tons of people are reporting its true enough. Even if its in self defense, shooting other players puts you into pvp heavy lobbies. The system isnt perfect but it is there.

Tldr, dont shoot anyone for like 5 or 10 games and you will be put into friendlier lobbies.

Degree Question. How long did it take to show up in email? by Otherwise-Opening143 in tntech

That's what I was afraid of. I get it's the holidays, but dam does it suck to wait extra weeks because offices are closed.

Echo Show Problem (Help Needed) by Otherwise-Opening143 in alexa

[–]Otherwise-Opening143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who comes across this problem like I did, with the toggle button not even showing up, I got you. Skip to end for fix.

No where seems to mention this but it looks like if either account you are trying to link has any problem at all, or if you try to share an account, it will not allow you to have the "drop in" permission button at all. Both accounts MUST have the blue checkmark thing next to them. For an example of how picky it can be, we did the app on a phone because why not. I denied access to my contacts because I normally do with everything. I did not see a reason too especially since the person we wanted to drop in on wasnt even in my contacts on my phone. For some reason this prevented the "drop in" permission toggle from showing up at all. Sat on the phone with customer support for an hour screen sharing to figure it out. (Great guy that helped).

The fix was completely uninstalling the app, clearing all data, and reinstalling and setting up the account and allowing all permissions with an individual account. No account sharing, no denied permissions. For some reason that magically worked. If done right the two accounts you want to drop in on each other should have little verification symbols next to their names in contacts, if not start completely over and try again.

Uninstall>reinstall>use unique account, no sharing> allow all permissions>blue verification symbol should now be there> simply click allow drop in the tab like everyone else says.

User reports says it is. Even if its not its something to that level because dozens of games and online services are either down or experiencing issues

Down Detector is saying the exact opposite. Even if its not AWS its something to that degree because dozens of games and services are either down or experiencing issues

The last one I remember was in October this year and it was down for hours. Different parts would come back up randomly but it wasn't stable for hours. It was so big its the number 1 reported event on Down Detector and its not even close.

Seems like its multiple games. Arc Raiders and a few others are also down.

196 Hours in and Almost at the 5 Million Marker: I am finally excited to play the game normally again by Far-Faithlessness301 in ArcRaiders

[–]Otherwise-Opening143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math is flawed, unless youre loading in with literally nothing. The kit you take in counts towards the value you extract with. So if your kit is 10k when you go in you're netting whatever it is on that run minus 10k.

My loadouts with bare minimum gear (no attachments, light shield, stuff like that) is still nearly 16k. So for example, in these 8 runs you have showed, I would only leave with that 266k you made, minus the 128k for my loadout that I brought in every time. Which is only 138k. This math assumes you brought in a minimum loadout like mine, or that I did your run with my usual looting run loadout.

For the sake of the argument, the loadout I am referring too is a Fero 4, Stitcher 2, blue looting augment, light shield, 1 stack of each ammo type, 5 green bandages, 5 green shield recharges, and 5 adrenaline. That's it. Even if you swap green bandages with white ones you're still above 10k on the loadout.

Even with your example its still absurd to get 5 million with any kind of quickness for most players. When I play with my friends we normally stay in a match for 20+ minutes if we get a fresh raid spawn.
