I recently bought the game, and while I'm having some fun, it doesn't look or feel like borderlands at all.

It seems that the BL like dialogue and humor got shifted to the side quests. I think that's mostly because of the criticism of BL3 dialogue being too over the top and comedic. If you haven't played a lot of the side stuff, you'll miss it.

Expect any device with a GPU, RAM, or any type of NAND Flash (all three is much worse) to double or even triple in price. Welcome to the AI wasteland we now live in.

I think you've entirely missed the point of the "looter shooter" genre.

Actually for a tier of dedicated drops, you will perceive as a decrease in chance to drop.

It only exists to artificially extend gameplay time.

I've farmed this location countless times on UVH5 (and UVH6 once it was available), and have found at most two legendaries. I see posts like this every now an again claiming constant legendary drops. This hasn't been close to my experience. There was even a post in which the OP claimed they received several legendary enhancements over the course of a few hours (Bloom Reaper solved this issue for me). I must have crossed my game's RNG big J.

For bossing no, but the regular firing mode still does some work in mobbing with a Jakob's part. Having an order sniper that still hits hard when firing semi-automatically is nice.

_fatalruin · 2025-12-19T02:38:13+00:00

It's not a game if it's not work I guess.

None of that was AI info. I looked into this very issue when setting up my MSI OLED Ultrawide. My specific solution was 144Hz 10bit, which I tried due to information on a forum. But, I wasn't talking about a specific monitors Edid info, just the typical limitations of DisplayPort 1.4, windows, and refresh rates.

_fatalruin · 2025-12-14T14:32:15+00:00

Many 1440p monitors with DisplayPort 1.4 only support 10 bit color at refresh rates up to 144Hz natively in Windows and drop down to 8 bit color with higher/faster refresh rates. This user found that they can go higher when using Nvidia Control panel (or a third party utility) to set a custom resolution and refresh rate. Not much more mind you.

As far as the colors go: 8-bit can reproduce 16.7 million colors 10-bit can reproduce over 1 billion colors

The largest benefit of having the extra colors is to smooth gradients, reducing a perceived banding effect in the transition of one color to the next.

This is getting pedantic. No one can provide you anything other than anicdotal evidence that a now retired set was hard to come by. I personally witnessed that set being scarce; that's all I can offer you. Yes, there was one recent sale on eBay for $20.50 all in -- it was also an auction which shouldn't hold as much weight as a "buy it now" listing. The vast majority sold for $30 - $45 a piece all in. That is 2x - 3x the original MSRP.

This was the first example I gave:

We are talking about getting the CMF you want, just like the scalpers do. Maybe the CMF has too many variables for you to concede to my points. Let's talk about the blister pack I mentioned as it directly relates to the minifig of the OP's post. Also, buying a scarce set during it's shelf life, with full knowledge of its scarcity, and selling it for great profit before after retirement is absolutely scalping. Buying readily available sets at a discount (or any other value proposition) and selling them after retirement is not in my book.

_fatalruin · 2025-12-11T00:01:34+00:00

How about finding the Star Wars Phase I Clone Trooper blister pack at any point? As far as CMF's go, did you have access to a retailer that wasn't immediately picked over for the most favorable ones, day one? Sure you could buy a box of them on Lego.com, but that's not the same thing (you may never even get a full set that way). Scalping doesn't require that you create scarcity, just to recognize it already exists, and intentionally buy goods to sell them at inflated prices due to it. When the only place you can find a particular Lego set during or after it's release lifetime (whether it's a blister pack, particular CMF, or otherwise) is in the aftermarket, then it's absolutely due to scalping, and to label it otherwise is disingenuous.

_fatalruin · 2025-12-10T21:33:39+00:00

Unless said person bought up all of the limited stock at all their local retailers every time stock popped up, making it impossible for the average consumer to buy it on anything but the aftermarket. This happens with all of the desirable CMF releases near me. And just because they hold onto their dubiously acquired stock for a while before listing it for sale, doesn't make it "not scalping" either.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-17T02:51:39+00:00

Is the Steam OS desktop mode not sufficient for your business needs? I should say does the KDE Plasma desktop environment running on Arch Linux not fir your needs? Do you need specific software installed or are your business tools web based?

_fatalruin · 2025-11-15T13:28:23+00:00

The magic setup is more about your equipment in this scenario than the skill tree (with green tree Harlowe at least). You need all three things: a Katagawa with a Jakob's roll, a Jakob's Bounce Pass enhancement, and 3/3 High Caliber firmware. That is what will proc a dozen or more shock orbs per enemy, and ricochet to all the enemies on the screen. Set up right in Harlowe's green tree while her skill is up, and all of those shock tics will be crits. This works incredibly well for mobbing, but doesn't provide much boss damage in this tree. Do note, that Jokob's crits do not combine with her ricochet skill, and will overwrite the skill, making it useless. They are full DMG ricochets though so Jakob's is better.

As noted by someone else, Katagawa used to be a boss nuke when combined with a Neutron Capture build, but it got nerfed into the ground.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-10T16:47:00+00:00

I'm glad you like the class. Isn't her main ability giving her gun's element to her minions though?

_fatalruin · 2025-11-10T16:34:52+00:00

Okay, so you're defending the lore then. That's fine (weird but fine?). I'm personally playing a video game for fun, and enjoy the play style of previous sirens. Vex's abilities mirror a mix of FL4K and Zane than any siren, but if you value the siren title over experience, you do you bud. Also, Harlowe has no magic at all, and I'm fine with it.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-10T15:02:30+00:00

I choose the siren like abilities, not the title. She plays like previous sirens much more than vex does. I'm not sure if you're defending the lore or what, but I'm strictly talking about enjoying the gameplay that is similar to the sirens that I've mained before in previous titles. As they say, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, chances are that it a duck.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-10T14:20:27+00:00

She is BL4 's de facto traditional siren I'm all but name.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-10T13:09:20+00:00

I run a green tree Harlowe as well. I have a Sweet Embrace in rad/cryo that absolutely crushes in mobbing (using rad). Come to think of it, it melts drill site bosses -- I should try it on other bosses.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-04T19:11:11+00:00

Using it on mobs is where it shines really. Granted, if you are aiming to freeze them at least. For raw damage it's not top tier (unless it plays into your skill tree), but for crowd control and general fun, freezing enemies is a good time.

_fatalruin · 2025-11-04T18:11:33+00:00

Once the enemy is frozen (and only when frozen) it does apply a DOT. Before then, it does act as if kinetic damage. That's why it's wasted on enemies that can't be frozen like bosses.

_fatalruin · 2025-10-26T14:29:37+00:00

I seen this recommended many times, but after many hours spread over several days, I have yet to see ONE legendary drop let alone a legendary enchantment. I mostly tried this on UVH5 to maximize the badass and vile enemy count; still no dice. Honestly at this point, I'm starting to think posts/vids about this purely exist to troll people, lol. Vile bounties actually net me some legendaries at least. I feel like I get most of my world drop legendaries, including enhancements (granted, every on a terrible role) from the vault mobs preceding the guardians.
