ITS ALWAYS TERRA THERMA LIKE 50% OF ALL GAMES PLAYED, IM MAD AS HELL AND IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE

[Satan n stuff]

I actually prefer Terra Therma to any of the older map as I've played a lot more matches on each of them than I've played Terra Therma.
Of course I actually know how to manage heat and to not get stuck in a bottleneck so I don't have any problems with the map itself, that always helps.

Observer bias. Both TT and HPG have the same weight.

Godda*n terra therma, im getting a headache as soon I see terra therma loading...

Of course you do.

I found that setting it to Skirmish brings about the new map more often.......





Also don't bring a spider to Skirmish unless you plan on fighting, watching someone run around and hide for 10mins isn't fun for anyone.

Random game modes are random.

Nope nope nope nope nope. No adjustments please!

Remember the last time they adjusted map drop rates? TOURMALINE FOREVER.

[BillyM]

agreed... shush it up OP.

All maps weighted equally or bust.

True. But still..... If there was repair and rearm I would agree on the run and hide.

I think the biggest pushback against the Skirmish mode is summed up by the statement: "Guys, there are capture points so we don't have to play catch the ECM spider for ten minutes."

Ya I know how to stay cool, I know how to avoid bottlenecks.

Still really hate going to Mordor. Not because of the environment, but because the people I'm playing with don't know how to manage the head, and can't stay away from the bottlenecks, and are drawn to the middle like lemmings. That map punishes you for being stupid and then makes everyone else pay the price.

And it ain't weighted the same cause the new map does not come up as often. Not bias I've done the math.

Assuming the MM randomly selects a map, and assuming that "playing for hours" maybe adds up to 20 matches, your "observation" has zero statistical relevance. By adding a bit of human psychology (I also tend to forget about the superior win after an exciting fight on HPG, when afterwards I try getting daily victory with a Locust with SHS (too greedy for DHS...) and end up overheating in Lava World twice^^) its even more senseless.

If you have bad luck with the rotation I recommend logging out before getting pissed. Or you may try to switch game modes. OR aquire more data and prove MM hates you (given the number of maps, around 1000 matches should be a decent number of "x" for a solid statistic:)

I dont remember if they adjusted the rates or not since then, but Tourmaline was once put into rotation more frequently than any other map because it was the "new" map at the time.

I'm not sure if they tweaked the numbers behind the scenes yet.

[Bobdolemite]

I got HPG 5 times in a row last night, guess I was lucky.

As to Terra Therma I just wish it didnt come up every time I run a "hotter" build =)

I've run with Finn...he knows how to play.

Lern2Reed...he said it comes up all the time yet HPG is rare....not that he can't win on it.....

so far i haven;t hated any maps they;ve put in, that being said though i wish they would just toss in an actual map rotation instead of random, then the whole see the map before you drop part of ui2.0 wouldn't really be necessary

How would they implement it? I mean If you just dropped Terra Therma and thus are due Crimson Strait next, but I just dropped Crimson Strait so Forest Colony is next, would we never drop together? Don't like the idea of dropping with the same group over and over again, or waiting till enough people to drop a given map show up.

Also, just rotating maps one after the other wouldn't work as there are lots of games going on a one time, so rotating maps won't work.

Terra Therma Tuesdays doesn't sound fun either...I could see people not playing until the new map rotated in.....
