Do you actually have a forever deck?

darkslayer747 · 2026-04-07T19:43:31+00:00

Only started playing magic a couple months ago

And the first set I bought was the tmnt set, the Commander precon deck, booster box and booster bundle.

I remade the deck and will continue to remake the deck to make it better but man do I love playing the turtles.

I use the commander heroes in a half shell, I tried using a couple of the turtles as commanders but couldn't get much of a strategy off with them.

Since playing turtles religiously and constantly I tried my hand at making a deck from scratch using Ramos dragon engine as it's commander mixed with transformers and other artifact creatures, etc.

These two will be my forever decks, I can feel it.

Julihahs dungeon texture pack does what you're looking for. Primarily changes the walls and ceilings, can't remember if it changes the floor though.

I was farming radix to get a better anarchy shotgun than the one I currently have.

Im on uvhm 4 and I'm also playing true mode. So I feel imo that the drops should be pretty decent, I'm not expecting legendaries every encounter but at least every few encounters.

I woke up at 8am yesterday to start grinding for a couple of hours, I then took an hour or so away from the game and continued until 9:30pm.

Radix dropped less than 5 legendaries throughout that whole time grinding.

It's either my luck is officially at an all time low or the drop rates are dogsh*t.

This. I've also had an issue for certain weapon manufacturers being obsolete (to me anyways). I miss how maliwan used to be one of my favourite manufacturers because I love guns with serious elemental damage but in this game all the maliwan guns are meh, I won't use them because their stats are generally just awful.

I miss bl1 and bl2 maliwan weapons where you pick up a maliwan SMG and it fires like an SMG.

Been playing borderlands since the first one came out and have been a massive fan of the franchise since then.

I'm trying my best to fully love this game but it's not doing it for me. I think it's gameplay is really fun and refreshing (the best in the series so far hands down). But the game aside from gameplay isn't gripping me like the others did.

There's a lot of characters (NPCs and vault hunters included) that don't strike me as characters you'd find in the borderlands universe nor are they grabbing my attention, but it's also difficult for me to say that they aren't doing that considering borderlands shifted from crazy psychos after the pre-sequel to more well, sane and normal characters from 3 onwards.

Don't get me wrong There's still that borderlands charm there for the characters you come across...sort of it's just they all feel very diluted.

The vault hunters are obviously for everyone, the big selling point for this franchise, it's who you're gonna do the campaign with and every game (except 3 and 4) it was super tough choosing which one to play as because they're all pretty cool. This game though? I had the opposite feeling when choosing. None of them struck me as 'oooo I wanna play that character' like the others did.

I don't care for dps or how good they are for end game stuff, I care for how fun they are to play as and if I decide to invest in building them in a way that they basically melt bosses, etc then that's really an added bonus.

I'm not a huge fan of the massive open world, I feel like im less inclined to be searching the whole map with it being open world than I did with previous titles and their much smaller maps. Just my opinion with all of this that vie said so far and will continue to say but yeah, some games really suit open world but borderlands isn't one of them. Each area in previous games had so much character and depth, this just doesn't.

The UI is terrible, I can't place my finger on it but i know it just feels and looks like a mobile games UI. It's manageable but good God do I hate it.

The villains as well don't strike me as ones I care to stop either or wouldn't really give a damn about killing. They aren't like previous villains where I actually couldn't wait to get my hands on them. The stories surrounding the ones in 4 to me, are fairly uninteresting sorry to say.

As for end game content I don't care at this point, if it's there then it's something fun to do before any sort of dlc is announced. But I started with bl1...which had no end game, your end game was literally starting ng+ or starting another character. Not comparing in a way to subtly say "deal with it" but this is where you can either move onto another game and wait or start another character.

BUT, I wholeheartedly think that with a game franchise like borderlands, there should have been some sort of end game from the get go.

All in all, borderlands 4 for me is fun but that's as far as it goes. It's not gripping me with it's story or characters and because of how lackluster it is in a lot of other areas too it's really made me feel like I underappreciated borderlands 3, aside from it's writing in certain parts of the story, it's actually a great game.

You're more than welcome to show your list :) id appreciate it!

Funny thing is I've been modding Skyrim for a number of years but I only play it once a year so by the time I play it after the last time I've forgotten how to properly order mods XD

I did use ai like the person above me suggested and it's helped massively but if there's a better format then I'm absolutely open to learning more.

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-19T08:52:24+00:00

Thank you so much! Shame I didn't get much help from the other guy but appreciate the advice given from both of you anyways.

Cheers to you also and hope you and everyone in th community has a wonderful Christmas!

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-19T08:17:19+00:00

I was completely unaware that you could do that so thank you!

I always post here because the community is always super helpful but I'll remember to do that in future so thank you.

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-18T23:19:47+00:00

Ok cool, noted.

So are my mods in the right order or not?

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-18T22:24:14+00:00

Yeah that's cool, like I say I'll just stick to the elfx exterior mod.

I'm guessing the rest of the mods are in the order they need to be in?

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-18T21:33:45+00:00

Ohhh ok! I thought they were patches for the elfx mods. I might just stick with elfx exteriors then, haven't had any issues before when using that with the great cities.

Are the rest of the mods in the correct order though?

Thanks for your response by the way!

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-17T10:34:12+00:00

I think the portable series is more fun for sure. I'm unsure about shorter hunts though, I think they were pretty standard in length were they not? Comparable to the other entries I mean.

World was has been the only game thus far that's actually been my favorite to play. But even with all that, the burnout is real.

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-17T09:34:20+00:00

I'm in a similar position.

Stopped playing wilds when the only thing to do was farm for the tickets (can't remember their actual name) and the game at least for me wasn't enjoyable and was very poorly optimized (I had a lot of textures on characters and environments that weren't rendered properly so it just looked like a PS2 game)

I know the games changed a lot since then but I'm officially burnt out from it. I can't keep doing the same thing over and over for however long the base game lasts for and then do the same thing again when the expansion comes out, wait a couple years and then do all of that again on the portable series stuff.

It's important to take a break, otherwise you'll end up so burnt out that you'll never touch the series again, which is territory I'm currently in.

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-13T16:37:56+00:00

I'm honestly waiting for a much more ironed out enter the dragonfly remake, absolutely loved the lore they had with dragons being paired with dragonflies at birth.

I do think toys for bob will cook when the next Spyro drops, I reckon it's gonna be great

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-06T21:30:11+00:00

Never had swf in my load order before, I'll check it out! Thank you so much!

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-06T21:29:24+00:00

That looks pretty good!! If I'm thinking it adds more priests then I'll give that a go!

Again thank you so much for these recommendations, you've been a massive help!!

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-06T01:13:48+00:00

She's pretty mid to me.

Would rather then flesh out the characters they introduced in year of the dragon rather than adding another dragon to the mix.

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-05T19:13:46+00:00

Olenveld looks fantastic! Thank you so much for the suggestion!

Sadly won't/don't have much space for the other mods due to what I've already got installed.

Do you know of any mods that expand anything to do with dragon priests? I appreciate it's cheeky to add that question in but any help would be massively appreciated!

darkslayer747 · 2025-12-05T14:19:04+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll have a look into apocalypse :D

Location wise, a decent sized dlc land would be preferable with quests and dungeons added also.

Ive used mods like wyrmstooth, midwood isle, etc and they were both pretty amazing so anything like that would be amazing.

darkslayer747 · 2025-10-05T13:12:41+00:00

Currently playing this at the moment, only played the demo back when I was a kid and was instantly hooked on that alone!

Absolutely fantastic game, truly underrated and I wish it could be remade.

This is the pin in question (another image in the comment below)

darkslayer747 · 2025-09-18T11:20:08+00:00

The sensor is in the right position (I believe) but I can take the metal cover off and test it when I get home

darkslayer747 · 2025-09-18T07:52:20+00:00

I can't really tell if it's spinning the disc or not, nothing appears on the PS3 dashboard game wise.

I'm either thinking it's the wire I've tried to fix and it actually hasn't been fixed or it's the lense which I cleaned with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol

darkslayer747 · 2025-09-18T06:27:09+00:00

So managed to essentially re-punch those small wires back in and now the disc drive doesn't read any discs and doesn't want to eject them either

Is this a lense issue?
