got some questions about the holodome DLC
excluding the level cap increase (currently dreading having to go through that again...), the holo dome itself seems interesting enough, though I have little info.

so, let's gather some info.

firstly, how does it work? does it work like in borderlands 2, where you're put in an arena and have to survive continueing waves of enemies? also, is it limited to a single theme, or are more or less all enemies fair game in the holodome?

secondly, does it end at some point, or can I infinitely replay it just to kill mobs for laughs and giggles?

thirdly, is there any bosses or extra challenging rounds, and what are the new enemies that supposedly come here?

fourth, does it work like the creature slaughter dome in BL2 where the host can enter it with other players in the party and they can then use the dome on that save?

fifth, is the layout and design of the arena good, and are there more than 1 arena?

that should be all, thanks in advance.

Man, I would answer, but I don't have the time nor the abilty.
I really wish you luck in getting ACTUAL answers and not just "why would you care, just uninstall, this game sucks"

1.) 5 rounds + a badass farmable round in the end. It can take about an hour or two to complete.

2.) The badass round is the only round that you can replay after you complete the main 5 rounds in that playthrough.

3.) The "new" 2-3(?) enemies are reskins of ones in the game already or just slightly different, nothing really "new" imo.

4.) Havent tried that yet, but I believe so.

5.) Way too big for the amount of the same enemies they keep spawning in every single round. They try to make up for that by giving you side missions in each round that requires you to move around the map to complete. But, no variety or really a big "fun factor" with the Holodome from my experience. It is too inconsistent. The badass round was the only round I felt that made spending time on it worth it. They actually allowed a mass amount of enemies to spawn in & somewhat filled the huge space of the arena. Other than that, it was fairly boring for a BL arena & imo the worst DLC this game has ever had.

See what I mean. Coulda left that out, but no, gotta squeeze that in.
And before you start in with the angry, your opinion is obvious, take a look back at the last 24 hours of forum posts, and you can see that it is EVERYONE'S opinion. It's nothing new.
If gameplayer wanted to know what your opinion was, s/he would ask.

I suggest buying it. This is if you have friends to play it with. The big review people are looking at is bahroo's. He was pretty idiotic with his review of a SLAUGHTER DOME, but didn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ try it on multiplayer. The enemies count stakes up. It gets to about 12+ with four players. I suggest it if you can find someone to play with(I'm up for playing most times, and I know someone up for it too).

By the way... have you played it with four other people? It's really fun.

Look at the OP. He wanted his opinion. Stop trying to be a trendy troll and go against the majority's opinion on the DLC and go back to playing holodome.

I quite honestly fail to see where OP says "Is this game good or bad iyo?"

Ego shmego.
But do you get my point?
Say something new, or don't say anything at all.

my suggestion: Whenever efem starts to ♥♥♥♥♥ about what you're talking about, quote it and copy and paste what you said the first time.

Hmm, doesn't seem to say, does this DLC suck?

I really don't see where he asks if you like it or not yet.

Ohhhh, here it is! Oh wait, nope.

Oh yeah, this definitely has "Give me your opinion" writen all over it.

Here it is, the moment we've all been waiting for.
He said nothing of the sort.

I mean, the rest of your post is fine, it's what he asked for, but that last little bit he didn't really need.

Shut up dad.

Also, I am really sorry for de-railing your thread OP.
I will commit harikiri at noon tomorrow, for disrespecting your honor with my problems.
