I thought you could also get rampage anywhere by equipping any unique item that has rampage mods on it. This is correct, having the Rampage gloves equipped gives you Rampage.

This has to be the first race season where NONE of the rewards look appealing. You've really outdone yourselves this time, GGG. The actual races themselves don't look too bad, though I'm not a fan of wall to wall short events. There's a piety kill, a malachai kill and a couple 3 hour events, but otherwise it's 12 minute bursts, 50 minutes sigs and 1 hour endless ledges for the most part. Signature mod sounds interesting, faster kills by letting things hit you. The first mod in a while that legitimately changes the race other than "everything hits you harder!" Nice to see Ancestral back, damn shame it's at the expense of Immolation (which is my favourite race type). Overall I give it a 3/10 on first glance, might participate if I'm really in the mood for it but generally nah. EDIT: added "on first glance" quantifier.

How about veteran seasons? Veteran racers are seriously sick of the boring racemodes and poor rewards? This is literally the worst season so far imo. The only way to make it worse is to make every tier of rewards an Alt Art Karui Ward.	Posted by Hilbert#4232 on Aug 27, 2015, 9:43:54 PM Quote this Post
As an employed european with morning and afternoon shifts I can already tell it'll be bloody difficult to reach Blood Dance but I'm looking forward to Endless ledge plus Bloodgrip sounds pretty interesting.

That alt-art Blood Thorn looks sick, and I'll be collecting the alt-art jewels.	Posted by Loreweaver#1263 on Aug 27, 2015, 9:52:17 PM Quote this Post

Once again Oceanic players are shafted by the racing timeslots. Why bother with this crap any more? Chris Wilson: "Today was the proudest day of my life."	Posted by Kaysee#3180 on Aug 27, 2015, 9:59:49 PM Quote this Post

Any chance this could be updated a bit guys? Last edited by RichardFox#2870 on Aug 27, 2015, 10:09:07 PM	Posted by RichardFox#2870 on Aug 27, 2015, 10:08:42 PM Quote this Post

AFAIK this unique gives you Rampage when worn, so you don't need the map mod. Well they did when I last used them in Standard. Chris Wilson: "Today was the proudest day of my life."

No BLAMT, no honor. Seriously though, I'm fairly hyped for a new race season this soon after the last one ended! http://www.twitch.tv/exhortatory	Posted by exhortatory#6217 on Aug 27, 2015, 10:22:43 PM Quote this Post
