Spam it in game!

Meh, then Id have to participate in playing game modes I havent played since they were introduced.

Id rather retain my ability to choose not to play them

and not play.

Do it for the people.

How is this a debate? Do what you have to do to make Elo close.

Keep it as it currently is.

Keep the voting system at the group queue. That is where the problem was. The solo queue -- which makes up the much larger player base -- was fine according to Russ himself.

I dont see how giving players LESS choice over the mode they wish to play could ever be seen as an improvement. Most people only have limited time to play and dont want to waste it playing a mode they dont like. Please revert the game mode selection back to how it was.

Well besides posting it on other sites I've been mentioning it in-game during my matches to do my part to get the word out to the actual players.

EDIT Not good enough Niko, make it into a banner for the main field.

Wow its almost dead even 50 50 I love close battles and wish they would happen more often. Love getting the blood running with a good nail biter Mach up and would real like to see if every one is right or wrong about the community and what it wants.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GROUP QUEUE DOES NOT WANT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WX-Obione-Kell]

Being able to pilot a Mech in any situation is all a part of being a good pilot.With that said this will stop conquest from never being as i like a little change of pace.

We dont like it / want it in the group queue either. Play the game types you want to play, and we will play ours. We dont want to be forced into random game modes, because you cant be sure what to bring to a fight...and THAT IS WHAT MW IS AT ITS CORE!!!!!

Have you EVER played a battletech table top match, where you had to pick your mech and loadouts BEFORE knowing what kind of map you were going to play on? No military foce EVER has made an attack on a target without knowing SOMETHING about at the very LEAST the terrain/conditions they were going to be fighting in.

The only way the RANDOM game mode will work, is if they allow us to chose our mechs/loadouts AFTER the match is determined.

Wintersdark is right on this.

Match Maker changes are one thing we just can't test on the test servers, not near enough show up to test items like this out. The match maker needs live population levels to get valid data.

Only the clan public test resulted in proper live like numbers.

me: Thats because of WHEN you run your tests. You DO realize that, yes?

If you had a running live test server (like most other games) or incentives for ppl to go there and test (other than helping the game - because apparently ppl need those here) Im betting youd see the numbers you need without routinely breaking the game by shoving things onto the live server like we were back in beta again

I like all game modes, so for me it is great.

Russ said they'd do this by tomorrow. Or at least implied he would.

[thisisxerxes]

Voted No - because taking away player choice is always a bad thing.
Just let us know the queue percentages - like how you already show us player Mech selection, and let us make our own decision about what to play. Personally I only ever play Skirmish and have zero interest in the others.

[Karl Marlow]

So you added a change that has improved game balance and you are now putting up a vote weather to keep it?


If people want to be assured of what mode they pay in then they can go to the Private Queues. That is always the answer for everything else. Play how you want to play. Meanwhile the public queues are supposed to reflect what the devs believe to be in the best interest of fair games.

I'm pretty sure I agree with Russ on this one. They wouldn't be able to get enough statistical data from a test server.

Too bad all we have seen all night was Lords and SJR, when it is not them it is 228th, all in conquest.

Would be nice to win a match this century...

There are no "good" matches in group queue, only varying degrees of stomps.

So, bugger this garbage off into the bin and leave group queue alone. We do NOT want this...

[Tomcat0815]

But if I have to play against people of my ELO, how am I gonna win any match in my Direwolf?

[Elizander]

I think the bigger issue is not posting mech percentage status at the end of each match. It might be 12-1 but all mechs on the other team are below 50%. Without this data we are removing any damage done to the enemy team and just seeing kills.

[SixstringSamurai]

This has been the worst matchmaking experience I think I have ever had in this game. Nothing like getting conquest in a 50 kph assault mech and having people rage quit because they hate the game mode.

The matchmaker on this poll is working as intended...
