Hey there is no hurry. I think everyine should take their time learning how everything works.

This has to do with your trust level. Right now, you have a trust level of 0. This can be changed very easily. With each trust level gained, you get more privileges, such as posting more links.

Here is a good page that talks about trust levels, what they do, and how you can gain more trust to do more things :

Yeah, I read that… what I meant is, can’t one of you mods …alter it ?
I’d really like to have those options available. I understand why this feature exist, but at nearly 5000 posts on the old forum… I can be trusted

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

Thatd be something to take up with Jeff. Ill try and get a message to him about it. You are welcome to send him one too.

[Guide] Critical hit bonus sources

##EDIT: ##This guide is outdated, you can find @DemoniteBL’s new guide [here] (Revisited Critical Hit Modifier Guide) for more information. Disclaimer: There is almost no new info in this thread: most things in here comes from Loot turtle and Sljm’s work on BL2 (which can be found here and here respectively) Additional credit to Kringled, Derch, Dark Souls, Exotek and myself This thread is a “port” from a similar work we made for BL2 that lists all critical hit bonus sources in the game, as…

The frak is going on with this forum, all my posts are getting hidden when I transfer over a thread…

I’m going to go yell at Jeff Skal now.

[Derch (Where's lucky?)]

That happened to me to, there is a trust level system that you have to earn and then you get more rights. By posting to many links right away you get labeled as spam. It’s annoying to us right now but it will be really nice to limit spam in the future. Kitty and Jeff helped me out with mine I think. Maybe I just leveled up. Basically we are all goku training in low gravity right now.

[Kitty_Jo (Watcher on the wall)]

Awesome, Chuck. Thanks. Ill get it added in a bit. Right now Im running a fever of 103 so even typing this is hard. Ill have it added asap though.

Take care of yourself

Shotgun guide has been ported

[Guide] How to shotgun

Welcome to Chuck80’s school of shotgun surgery! In this, i’m gonna try and deconstruct my favorite weapon type: shotguns. Their strengths, weaknesses, how to play them and how to get the most out of them. What’s great about shotguns is that they have a lot to offer within a single weapon type: from the sniper-like striker to the AoE Flakker. Shotguns are diverse and very fun to play. Please note that most of this is based on my observations, a bit of poorly thought-out math, my experience as a…

Added. Nice work as usual!

[GUIDE] OZ Kits - LV60 | Max Stats

I haven’t seen someone doing this, so I’ve decided to do something about it. I hope you find it useful. I apologize if someone already done it, I’ve searched the forums and found nothing. Not including legendary OZ Kits, there are 10 different types of non-legendary / unique OZ Kits. Hyperion, Vladof, Tediore and Torgue have 2 different kits each, all others are Dahl, but take note that Duality OZs comes in 2 variations. Both variations give different bonuses for either being in vacuum or in a…

Got it. Thanks Exotek

[Guide] Basic Gun Damage Formula

Back in BL2, I made a little thread about how Gun Damage can be calculated, with the intent that the formula I gave could be used for any character. There are a few references to it in the TPS info threads so far, because there hasn’t been one for TPS yet. That changes today. This thread will follow a generally “top-down” format, where we’ll begin with a condensed equation that looks really simple, but each term will have a number of calculations involved. I find the math is easier to d…

Thoughts On Shock (Guns) - Adventures in "Simple" Math!

Hi. There was a thread a while back, on the old forums I think, about which damage type was the most useful. A lot of people said Shock, because it’s strong against shields (which Fire/Corrosive are weak against) and neutral against Flesh/Armor, meaning that most of the time you’ll be doing damage against anything. Plus, I think we can all agree that shielded enemies are jerks when you’re using Fire/Corrosive, because you only do 40% damage (TVHM/UVHM). On its own, I would tend to agree, but …

Got those added. Sorry for the delay!
