Arms Race always felt like it was only half done. Some changes are a step in the right direction.

yes you get more holy grail and clowork res then ever.

total 27 race done( 5 friends do it with me in different instance): nothing worth a extraction

yes more legendary but the quality is not good, 50% holy grail and other not worthing legendary

and the chest still sucking…

and the starting chest with useles jacobs and torgue weapon…

That’d be great if it was fixed , nothing worst than using cannon , and mid run it stops working , need to unequip , toss a nade , re equip and hope that worked …

Thanks for sharing , will check this out later and see !

In looking at the mini-events article, I would say GB is simply keeping with the whole game as a service model, expanding on some new content that is primarily designed as a repeatable endgame experience. I honestly do not see these enhancements as an indictment against Arms Race of GB as much as simply a means for GB to expand the mode to increase its re-playability. Even if every person on the planet loved Arms Race, I believe GB would still create this kind of mini-event. It is a natural progression for the kind of game GB has created in BL3.

Although I think mini-events are a reasonable place to start, I also think that GB has a long way to go before Arms Race is transformed into something that would interest me (I tend to favor the narrative experience). I created a thread back in November regarding my original thoughts on how to expand Arms Race in case anyone is interested.

Bug is still there, but there’s a quicker fix. Go to photo mode and back, should fix it.

Imo the murdercane isn’t a bad way to make runs different while using the same map every time. They should figure out how to implement some skills in some form, instead.

It still blows. Maybe next week they will actually let us use the new skills or items, instead of only letting us play with half the game at a time. Could you imagine playing any other DLC or event and not being able to use the new items from that area? Oh and did you find more than a few items per run? Too bad, you can’t keep them. Die? Too bad they are gone. Want to be able to extract more items? Start over!

FFS, what were they thinking? What’s next? Adding durability so items eventually break beyond use? Having to forage for food every few game hours or risk dying? Permadeath? Arms Race wasn’t worth the money I spent on it, it barely would have been worth playing as a free event. I feel for the people who bough the season 2 pass. I can’t wait to see how badly they screw up the next DLC. Guess I should have gotten the PC version.

Dude I stopped playing on the day when I realized that dlc5 anointments drop for me even without thus dlc… So about 3 months? (when the dlc5 was released) :joy:

I’m seeking for loading time patch (or farming save and quit tactic remove) because this is the only real fithing that bothers me from replaying this game. No matter what you are doing in this game the loading time sucks. Even the story because you have to travel unnecessarily often to sanctuary and back.

I enjoy the game with all his weaknesses but the loading time killed the fun for me after about 400h of playtime and thousands of loading screens.

Has it been 3 months already :astonished:

That was the reason i also stopped playing as there was no use grinding if more then half the anoinments aren’t even usable.

No, you’re right, trying out changes doesn’t mean something sucks and I was just expressing my opinion, but I do think it sucks and the majority of players still active and discussing it seem to agree. Looking at trophy data (PlayStation), the uptake has been VERY low, so I’m using that to back my opinion up, however only gearbox knows for sure.
Given that the new things being tried are stuff players have been asking for, due to dislike of the mode, seems like that’s why gearbox are trying to improve it.

#36

It’s a good question. For me, if it was free I’d have tried it as it is and decided to play or not without complaining, like the takedowns.
Given that it’s paid content, I’d need more options. I don’t like battle royale games much (and gearbox consider it a roguelike PvE battle royale, even though it doesn’t have the core “improve with every fail” aspect of a roguelike), so I’d want to be able to adjust it to how I like to play. Dial down the battle royale and dial up the borderlands.
Let me choose whether I have an action skill, skill trees, guardian rank, my own gear, etc. And I’ll play my way.

#37

Honestly, The concept is alright, but the idea of disabled Guardian rank and level cap skills makes you feel like you’re playing a watered down version of any VH you play as. Which would be perfectly fine for PvP, but not for PvE, as it gives CPU more advantage, depending if you got better loot to kill the enemies faster and survive longer

Like I get Gearbox wants to challenge us, but getting poor loot from the start and not have enough time to go to any destination and get legendary loot as possible. Is like this mode is dedicated for more experience players that’s looking for a challenge.

But what annoys me is you can already get that experience without buying the DLC. Just chuck your gear in the bank, re-spec and turn off your guardian rank. Easy.
And yeah, I’ve tried doing that and it’s fun for a while, but it’s better than arms race cus I can control it better, turn on or off what I want.

I’m going to go out on a limb here… I like Amrs Race.

I enjoy it. I like the challenge as a solo player {M11), I like the occasionally desperate feeling when all you have is a crappy Torgue AR and a load of goons trying to kill you. I like how excited I am when I find a good Dahl pistol or a green grenade mod. I have used Tediore guns for the first time ever. It still feels like BL, just different. But I like it.

There. I said it.

Is like Gearbox wants you to “get gud” if you want to get exclusive legendaries loot from the dlc, what’s even more ridiculous, you can only use non dlc legendary loot, but not that’s exclusive for arms race, making the loot useless to use and they drop more than non dlc legendaries.
