Request: Allow lore challenge progression in bot matches

Has anyone heard anything about this beyond the initial post? I DESPISE the games pvp. But am super addicted to the PVE. I continue playing to experiment with different builds and obsessively trying to unlock and view lore challenges. But some of my favorite characters require me to play pvp and therefore will go locked forever, shortening the time I will spend overall.

I’ve played as Pendles and absolutely loved him, then saw his kill 20 battleborn with miasma active and decided he probably isn’t worth using. AlanI too had mp only challenges. It’s beginning to feel like the future dlc won’t be worth my time aND Battleborn will get traded in as an “almost great, but not” title.

So anyway, any word on PVE versions is currently PVP only challenges?

Hell even an alternative PVE option would be nice,

I too would like to know if there’s been any recent mention of a plan or fix to allow PvE/solo players to acquire our lore without having to engage in a mode we hate and play with people we don’t want to play with. That sure would be cool.

I too support this. I can’t even find a match for Capture or Meltdown making trophy progress impossible. Same issue with many Lore challenges. Just allow bot matches to count, even if it’s just for solo players so you can’t stack the teams for easy lore.

I hope they fix this, I play battleborn mainly for the PvE and I hope they think of me and other players like on the next major updates.

yeah. what pretty much everyone else said. it is nearly impossible to find capture/meltdown games half the time, people play stupid when chasing lore, and many don’t even LIKE pvp. that is probably the biggest kick in the teeth of the challenges honestly. if someone came for story and lore, but can’t access it because of either a lack of drive or skill in pvp, that seems a bit unfair. I get that mastery is supposed to be mastery, but let’s face it, not everyone is competitive, they shouldn’t be forced into a game mode they were planning on ignoring just to read about the characters they love.

…Truth. I have 700 hours Advanced PvE and will only play PvP for Lore.

Anybody else notice a change in bot AI recently? I could be imagining things, but it does seem like they’re a little better than before the last patch. Maybe they are tweaking them/working on them in order to reveal a full blown co-op vs AI mode like many other games? That would be great.

I don’t play PvP but have used the bots to test Pendles and went up against a Thorn bot that was unreal.

I don’t understand why GBX refuses to implement this.

I tried this entire weekend to connect to a PVP match and failed everytime due to not enough players.

As you can see, this request was made six months ago and has yet to be implemented. It should be given the highest priority at this point. The vast majority of patches have been dedicated to PVP play and it’s past time to implement something that would benefit everyone.

Would still love this myself.

Honestly I would love this myself. I feel horrible every time I play pvp for lore; and every time I don’t play for lore I feel like I’m wasting time :s. A suggestion would be that you have seperate tallies for bot lore and that the amount needed to complete lore in a bot match is the original amount for the lore challenge. Of course the original amount thing would only apply for pvp specific challenges i.e participate in killing ambra 25 times or kill 50 BB while in the air.
