if eveyone is playing one game mode because thats all they are good at, the rest of us that jump on and want to play the other game modes are waiting, and waiting, and waiting... because no one else is wanting to play certain modes. If we all have a chance of having to play all modes and maps now, it will speed the match making along some. You drop out of a game because you dont like that mode or map... than you hurt your team, they notice you drop more and more because you dont want to play that map or mode, you dont make friends and people start reporting you for not being e TEAM player and hurting your team. This is what it will come down to.

There is an easy solution mate, check the ALL selection when picking game modes, if you dont mind playing any mode then you have your solution.
Me and many others despise certain game modes why are we being forced to play them?

im not tying to be a PROBLEM. And i do see where you are coming from. But things like Marcos is something that even i said from the stat should not be allowed. Yet PGI lets that go. I agree with you there. As for Assaults or any mech with Auto-cannons is pat of the game and we all have to learn to play with them or against them. As for gaming mice, if you cant beat them, join them. They really do make the game a bit easier when you have all the buttons you need on one mouse

Im not trying to be an ass, just think all the crying over something that PGI is actually tying to do to make the game fair, is just not needed from the gamers.

It's not an issue of fairness. It's the same reason we can't chose which map to play on: Most of them are horrid and would be unpopulated if they weren't forced on us.

For those with problems over the vote system, this is what the community has asked for, and keep in mind that the vote system applies a bias to the group leader's choices. If you don't want to play a game mode, the group leader likely already knows.

For my part, I'm grateful for the opportunity to play in all of the game modes. ANY pilot worth their salt should never be afraid to play, and should never despise, any one or two game modes, or favor others, regardless of how silly they think the game mode might be. I utterly despise "Hate PG", but even if I had a choice to NEVER play that stupid map, again, I would still play it. It's called trying to improve myself, it's about making sure I can play in each and every map to the best of my ability. If I didn't, and then wound up playing on that map, later, I would be terrible, unless I was a brute-force monkey.

you want to play certain modes, than play private matches. There are many here that like modes and maps you dont, so is it fair that I cant play on the ones I like because you dont like them? I dont like to always play the death match game modes but i play them when they come up. Why? Because other members of my unit do like those game modes. Im a team player and have learned to play all modes and all maps. Its not that hard really

If i don't like strawberries and you are , you don't force me to eat strawberries because you are feeling lonely...

thats fine lol. Let people play their Direwolves or Atlas for that matter, these larger mech are not meant to be base capping anyway lol....

If a Direwolf is capping a base than there is a real problem lol....

A real problem..?? Yeah, the problem is those fatties getting left behind by mediums and lights, or being too slow to really contribute.

Oh well, I guess they will HAVE to get used to Conquest, or stop spending time and money on MWO.

I can tell you the likelyhood of that.. Why..??

Is it allowed to equip two Gauss Cooldown Moduls now ?

Or is it a Bug ?

[Jody Von Jedi]

I like the modules, I like the fact there will no Trial mechs cluttering up my screen. I also like the new mech bundles. Would like to see which standard variant is included.

I'm meh on the change to MM. I was happy with the way it's been working but I usually keep all of the game modes active, so no big deal to me.

you know, i get it i really do. I completly understand that you may not like to play some game modes. Like I said, I fell that way too. But I have learned to just role with it and play everything because other guys "friends" i play with, do like the game mode I dont. Its just that simple for me to look the other way and play whatever, because my team is playing and having fun.

As of right now it would have to work 1 of 2 ways i guess, 1... let people pick what they want to play and that would make other unhappy because most are picking 1 game mode or a few select maps over everything else. Or the way we have it now where everyone has to play whats picked and yeah, it is still going to make quite a few unhappy. I see it your way, I really do. I just dont see anyway they can do it right now where EVERYONE will be happy. Sorry bud.

I'm playing skirmish with a Direwolf (I suppose) and then- I'm playing conquest. I hate conquest, and I hate Direwolves in conquest... That system is ridiculous and I will not accept it.
And even If that is the players decision, I'm in the game with the wrong fellow Players.

[Carthoo]

Well forcing me to play Conquest? Any serious reasons? GIVE OUR SELECTION BACK! - this is good only if you want to piss us off - which you managed. Say "bye" to any money from me, unless you revert this!

how about apples, I KNOW YOU LIKE APPLES!! im just kidding bud. I get it, I do. Lets all just try it out for a while and after some time, if most still feel they are being forced into something, than voice it or just step away. Thats all I really can say on this issue. I for one was one that like MANY wanted this and for the most part, the community as a whole did ask for this. Now we got it, and it really is the minority that is voicing their dislike on it.

No the population did not ask for it, around 1k players voted for it (im sure someone can dig up poll results), the ballot was not put out to the general population or are you relling me the MWO pop is around 1500?
Im glad you want to improve yourself but many of us are not here to improve our selfs via a video game, we are here and pay to have fun you know, Entertainment.
BTW is there somewhere in the CoC that says i will be forced to play a mode or a mech or a game style that i dont want to or be banned because well just because.

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

That's because many players can't seem to grasp the idea of alternate victory conditions.

well what they need to do next is once a game mode and map are picked, they need to let people have time to change out which mech they want to play with to better fit that situation.

You would have to have read the feedback thread for Russ' explanation of how it works to realize that I am not against the idea of this. You would not have to read that to realize that I am simply put off buy the quickness of which they made this change (in comparison to many other supposedly major changes they've made which took forever), and without any real thought being put into it. Your rant was for naught.

This change has been more than a month in the works, as it was mentioned in the town hall last month.

You probably meant the post but I hope they address the tiny font size of the UI. UI 2.0 will one day be thought in design schools as an example of horrible design.

I cant find cockpit items in the new store layout (flags, hulu girl, etc)

Match Score column in the end-of-match summary screen shows "0" for everybody

Making people play match types they despise is not going to work well

Excellent patch otherwise, thanks a bunch for the improvements

[Karwa]

New matchmaking sucks, I dont want to play conquest. period. Other games offer possibility to choose between fav maps and game modes, now im forced to play conquest with slow ass brawlers mechs etc. nty fix your game. bye

[Gauvan]

I don't mind the voting mechanic—if I drop in my least favorite mode once in a while, it's no more of an issue that dropping in a map I don't care as much for. You make the most of it and know it won't happen every time.

I think all modes and maps should be iteratively balanced to be fun for all players. It's impossible to achieve but it's something to strive for. I think we have an outlier in Conquest mode that could use some attention. Hey, can we tie capture speed on Conquest to mech tonnage?

[Haxxplz]

I was rather hopeful for a fix to these memory leak errors that keep me crashing... :|
