It's such an unbearable map. If we banded together as players and started boycotting it, we could get PGI to remove it from the rotation, or at least make it come up less often.

What do you guys think?

I think I love how much torment Terra Therma puts you through.

(Hint: I like Terra Therma.)

Mordor is certainly a horribad map, but DC'ing from it when the game starts isn't exactly nice. You're making your team less likely to win just because you hate the map (yes, I hate Mordor too, but I don't handicap my team because of it).

Terra Therma is my best map in terms of both W/L and K/D!

And Alpine comes in as second.

<manical :wub: :D :lol:>

Well, if PGI gives us a toggle switch so we can opt out of certain maps when queing, then people won't have to. :wub:

Hmm, whether tis better to suffer through pugmates suicide in the most hated map, or to DC and find another match...


Boycotting is not a bad idea after all.

Here's a thought, OP: Stop building hot 'mechs.

Its the only map I feel uncomfortable on, sometimes lost.

I like that.

More maps should be this large, with this many hiding places, and LOS issues. Oh its hot? Yeah, well, that makes it even more harrowing.

Do not worry this map is being developed for you:

I like Mordor. Really tests your build and heat management. Love seeing mechs with lots of big weapons because I know they will be shutdown for most of the match.

I think we need more hot maps

I'm a fan of Mordor. As is the case most of the time, people have their own opinion. Your OP is pretty much the same thing as saying, "I don't like pizza, EVERYONE boycott it!!!!11".

Terra Therma is a fine map.
The only thing it needs, is the same thing just about every other map needs. A boundaries to graphics pass. (Making the walls be in line with the graphics... like they are mostly in Canyon Network.)

Everyone has a map they don't like for personal reasons, that doesn't make it worth boycotting.

L2P.

So let's ask for a toggle switch then.

I dunno that you really qualify as a noob.

Or even a newb for that matter.


....haven't you hit your 1k matches? :wub:















On topic though - I would rather have TT all day than RCNight - but I can live with having RCNight repeatedly without whining about it, and I am hardly the most mature person out there. :D
