[RO-RN] Animalul2012 Players 1,345 posts 21,361 battles Report post #3 Posted May 21, 2022 Yes epicenter was removed and replaced with arms race. What can I say CV and submarines become even more broken but hey as long as there are no CV or sub is quite fun to reload 16 guns in less than 15 seconds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[WCBG] BrusilovX Beta Tester 2,838 posts 23,900 battles Report post #6 Posted May 21, 2022 The 'arms race' mode also appears in co-op. Any guess to how good the AI BOTs are handling it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any guess to how good the AI BOTs are handling it? Badly! It's a bit of a joke in PvE, really. The bots don't aim for the buff zones and the players get everything, which makes games last even *less* time than they used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any guess to how good the AI BOTs are handling it? Probably better than 30% of the co-op players. I've been in a couple of co-op matches where I've grabbed a buff ... in a battleship. OK, the last one was Georgia which can shift a bit. Do you get a notification when the red team grabs a buff? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So they decided to replace it in high tiers by an even more gimmicky and convoluted mode. Classic WG if you ask me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must say, if my rate of encountering the mode keeps as of now, I'd end up considering Minotaur a cursed ship: all but one of the times I've found myself in Arms Race it's been with her and there were at most two DDs in one of the battles, so no natural preys. 47 minutes ago, hellhound666 said: The next patch will add mermaids ...

[YEET] COPlUM Players 3,009 posts 12,083 battles Report post #21 Posted May 21, 2022 It is now part of random battles yes, instead of epicenter, but just like epicenter it is uncommon. I dont like it either, too "arcadey" for me, but if it's uncommon I'll deal with it. I actually liked epicenter, i'm gonna miss it unironically. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] lup3s Players 5,744 posts 32,893 battles Report post #22 Posted May 22, 2022 Imo Arms race is trash and should be removed from Random Battles; I'm tempted to ALT-F4 each time I get this stupid game mode. @Wg at least give us an option (like a checkbox or something) to evade this game mode; since now you're just doing a great job making T9+ as unattractive as possible to play - first T11s and now this bullcrap . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

During last sessions at test srv all players (all I could read) were keep saying - "WG it is pure f... stupid, do not do that" :) As we know WG listens to the players opinions and in fully transparent way shows you a finger of respect. You know which one I mean :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
