New Arena Config-> NO !!!

[Shadock38]

Hello,

It seems that we are a few really not happy with the new arena config : random GT4 5 or 6 (GT4 is not very interesting, GT6 provides some variety), 2 turns on long track (way too long for some, especially at 4 players and real-time).
So, either we return to the previous config (which is the perfect match for me, GT 5, 3 players, long track, 3 lanes, I would just prefer rain because the weather change is less drastic) or we can vote what we would like and what are the possible options.

Please, pass around...

Is ain’t a long track anymore and most of strongs/goods and even some average seem agreed whit 2 laps in medium track. And a lot of arena players was pissed off because gt5 always was giving a unreal change of speed. I can confirm it by a forum that was talking about gt5 isn’t very realistically, because of this unfailed start ( 1, 3, 4, 5, w, w, 2). And i saw people was happy when a gt4 happens in one of my games (surely have enough of gt5, because he tell us at the start of the game). And if you saw the forum, none of them will agree whit you, not gonna lie. And here the message from one of the player in that forum (No changes in arena S2):

[...] knowing they can always crash ‘safely’ whilst accumulating tons of FTs. I don’t like this aspect of the game, as it seems way too lenient and encourages reckless driving.

and here all the settings in french:
Type de GT=Aléatoire • Météo=Aléatoire • Afficher l'alerte d'excès de vitesse=Oui • Ordre de départ=Aléatoire • Nombre de tours=2 • Circuit=Aléatoire • Longueur du circuit=Circuit de longueur moyenne • Nombre de voies=Aléatoire •

A poll has been posted some weeks ago for the new arena config

Because many people was tired of the same config in Arena
you can find the poll here: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 45&t=18894

And some top players vote in this poll. Most of the people wanted 4 players. Everyone wanted random weather. For the track lenght, it is just 2 laps is generally better than one single lap.
For the GT type... well I think it is good to see some change and not the GT5 all the time...
Arena is to be competitive... doing again and again the same track with GT5 was kind of boring at the end.
A good player need to adjust with these different setting and it is good

These changes killed the arena for me a bit and I have a feeling I'm not alone, because it's much much harder to get real time game. This used to be quick fun-to-play (my opinion) filler and now the game with 4 players and 2 laps is so loooong

Hi, I could play in real time if none of my arena are open, so you can ask me if you want to get real time. Anytime! Except if I can't do, because of a game.

yeap, stopped the arena as well after trying some. Mostly :
- 4 players, 2 long laps -> games are too long
- GT4 is very often crap (just roll 1 R R R W W W 2 3 4 and pray)

So good luck for the next winner !
