I don't know why people despise conquest so much. It's rarely played as anything other than death match anyway.

IMO it can be a lot more enjoyable; however, the rewards are piss poor. Capping gets you a grand total of 50 bonus xp. Yay. Such rewards. REALLY? Why not 2000xp? That's reasonable isn't it?

As previously suggested PGI... ...put preferences first THEN use the voting system for remaining players.

9 pages of people complaining about skirmish and/or conquest....

It is no surprise.

You will also probably have a misbalance as well - with lights itching to play conquest and Assaults/Heavies itching to play skirmish..

There comes a point when some of this complaining just shouldn't be listened too. If you don't have anything constructive to say, shut the hell up. I enjoy this game and like the MechWarrior franchise, please don't be a bunch of 5 year olds and throw a tantrum because my least favowit game mode is being played And yes I meant to say that in baby talk mocking all you babys out there who clearly have nothing better to do than cry and then tell the rest of the world what you are crying about.

In my mind this was a good and very successful patch-minus a few bugs

Yet the complaining was listened to and we end up with this crap. I'm sorry but people venting their frustration with this nonsense is constructive because it visibly and directly indicates that this was a mistake. As for mocking people and their frustration that really shows great maturity on your part...

Well I agree with him no desire to play 2 of the game modes and play skirmish exclusively for a reason. Not even bothering to patch.

Where on earth in the past 2 or odd weeks can anyone guess that this patch would let them select which map to play on when the entire time gamemode has been used so incessantly a child could have picked it up.

Conquest irritates me as much as the next person but jesus christ people, some of you are so ridiculous.

Trial mech sorting is great news.

Having to play conquest, when the rewards SUCK, is bad news.

It is a difficult situation.



The counter point was multiple posts per week from players stating that the group queue was frustrating enough that they were going to quit playing. The ELO spread was just to great, and with our player base size we had just to many options available as to make it impossible for the match maker to put better matches together.



Instead of just making the changes I felt would make matches more competitive I came to the community and polled players. Players chose 80% in favor of the change.



We make the change and we have some customers that are unhappy. I am planning on making an additional post to describe the results of the MM change. It does seem to be having the desired impact.



Do I not have an obligation to majority of my customers? sometimes there just isn't a middle ground. I will gather the stats but don't the majority of conquest matches just end in an enemy team being wiped out more often then by cap?

@NOMAD @ frpeebles and a few others.

A constructive way you could have handled this would have been to play out your matches to the best of your abilities after posting in team and all chat that you feel wronged by the most recent matchmaker change and request that your fellow players join your cause by visiting the forums and posting their support.

If you had done that, I might have been able to take up your cause. But seeing your posts about how you are handling it? Now I'm rooting for you to get banned.

I think an interesting note to mention is that nobody is allowed to complain about the mode-voting system while also complaining about Elo-mismatching. We now have a system that puts player skill balance first, and then game mode preference second.

It will be informative to see how many people complain about how player skill gaps are too high while also complaining about the mode voting system. It seems there are some wheels that will squeak if not greased, but will squeal if greased-up.

BUG: no match score.

[Liveish]

Just play Conquest like Ass/SKIM

Work as a team and hunt the other team down as they break up to cap.

Why this will piss off all the people who like playing Conquest, it a better way than just quitting.

[Ward Serpentine]

Suggestion for the next patch. Now that we have 100+ weapon modules, could you split them between IS and Clan in the skills tab? It's a crap-ton to go through... Maybe break them down to missile/ballistic/energy...

[jaxjace]

While i am displeased with you taking away my freedom to choose what gamemode I want, I love how no one is talking about the clan nerf. I LOVE YOU GUYS, **** i love my clan mechs and i knew they needed a nerf. this is perfect.

also gj on getting those ugly green mechs out of my hanger and put with the servants quarters where they belong.

Not in the CoC. No!

But in the Exploit and Griefing rules it is stated, that if you disconnect intentionally from a match, or suicide without tactical intent, this is a bannable offense.

That is a good point! so I will just stop playing all together.

[Mr Blonde]

I have one request, should be relatively simple fix. There should be an option in the lab to strip ALL modules at once from all mechs. I have 74 mechs, and if I don't play for a few days then the modules are gone forever it would seem. I've searched and searched for my radar dep and it is seemingly gone forever. This would eliminate, with one button, one of the most annoying things in all of MWO-dom.

Why not just enjoy conquest? (other than rewards) It is best mode anyway.

Except...that strategy will only work if they have a stupid team or you are on a small map.
