Why is Rivercity the map I drop on every other time i go into a game? It would be nice to see some of the other maps.

It's random...but if you have all game modes on, since it's has a day/night variant and different spawn points. Gives it a higher slightly higher chance, over the maps that have no weather.

I only drop assault and when the chance gets to 75% of the time it isn't random anymore in my book.

I find you drop on any given map more every hour. Not sure if true but seems like it.

Something I noticed in my Map Stats. Apparently the way the maps are weighted, maps with variations are lumped together as one for randomizing purposes. So your odds of ending up in River City (Night + Day) is the same as ending up in say, Tourmaline.

The reason IMO why you get into River City so much -- You just came out from one River City fight, so that queue becomes freed up. If you immediately go back into a new match, then odds are higher you end up back into the same queue. Give a short break of a few minutes and your map should change.

Still better than terra therma 4 times in a row while trying to grind a LL/ML summoner Q__Q

I know it's randomly selected, but I swear it feels like if I say to myself "just one quick game" I will always get terra or HPG. Same thing if I say "ok. last game".

Rides my Stalker--Mordor. Hops onto my Ember--Mordor.

One does not simply avoid Mordor in queue.

If you want a hot map just put more ppc on your mech. If you can want canyon or forest boat lrms.

IMO certain maps come too regularly: both River Cities, Terra Therma and Tourmaline Desert

[LowSubmarino]

I wish we could chose maps or at least pick three we want to drop from the roation.

Personally I would drop forest colony (as most ppl avoid water since it is too exposed the already tiny map forces players on an even tinier strip of land) and terra therma. Caustic valley is another candidate as it plays out even more repetitively than terra therma. 99 % of the fights happen around the crater with both teams just runnin in circles like brainless robots.

LOL to OP. I have not seen river city in 3 days, only terra and desert. I have even asked in chat if river city is removed from the game.

BTW, since I am paranoid, anyone had a feeling that most of the time you will get the map that is bad/opposite for your weapon load?
Like, if I am full of lasers I will get desert or terma for sure?

[MechWarrior849305]

Why do I always get Therma. Let's exchange with your River City

I feel like i get a lot of HPG...although that could just be because i hate HPG

Every time I get in a Dire Whale: Alpine (Conquest Mode) or Mordor.

[MischiefSC]

It's not random. You're syncing to that server/map cycle. Go get a drink or play in the mech bay for about 4 minutes, you'll be good.

[Dirus Nigh]

I understand that it can be rather annoying to continually drop on the same map. However in this case I think you should count your blessings. You could have been stuck on a 24 hour Terra Therma marathon.
