You must be playing in a different universe than me, I get stuck playing assault and skirmish EVERY game. I like CQ.

Not sure why this is an issue.

All 3 game modes are exactly the same.

Death ball - Victory.

That's almost exactly what Iraqi Shia (70%) told the Sunni (30%). The latter dealt with it by joining the IS.

U sir, are an idiot. U make no sense what so ever. u come in here and make fun of those who post. Well let me tell u. Its NOT the same thing even if "EVERYONE DIE". wake up troll. If I chose a Conquest mode, I chose a Conquest Mech. If I play an Assault Mode, I chose an Assault Mech. We all have our ideal Mech for every gametypes don't get me wrong, but that's the way I see it and no one should tell me which mech "I" should use. plain and simple.

Except I dont think the community, as a whole, wanted this. I dont remember them asking me. I have had 12 games in a row now all skirmish, and I don't have it checked. Taking away choices is not a good move.

I rather wonder if theyll be banning ppl for alt f4ing when they drop in a game mode they dont want to

and yet, yes is winning in the repoll

First I find it weird that no one is expressing any joy over the EXTREMELY decreased wait times and the better ELO matching.

Not trying to be too much of a white knight here, but there are positive experiences to be taken from this.

For those who hate conquest I generally find it to be a nice change of pace. It actually changes the dynamics of some maps completely. For example... Terra Therma is in general not a fantastic map. It is a tremendous conquest map, however. I enjoy alpine a good deal as well. Conquest really mixes up the game and makes it play differently.

I do understand frustration, but there are definitely positives to be taken from this.

What were your waits BEFORE this? I have yet to see a wait in excess of 1 minute EVER in this game

[SoggyGorilla]

I cant understand how you can complain about the different game modes, when you can win each mode the same way, by killing the other mechs.

i think of it like eating fish prepared 3 different ways, in the end your always eating fish.

On a side note, they spoke about this change on 2 different town halls on twitch and had a vote option on the forums for at least 3 or 4 days. so its not like they asked you directly, they asked the community.

And you disconnected on purpose on the last 2, letting your team behind inthe dust, which will probably get you reported. They had a poll and like 80% (IIRC) voted on having it like it is now. You can't really blame PGI for doing what the vast majority of voters want.

It has been stated many times before (as you probably know), they can't test MM changes on the testserver because not enough players play on it. It simply doesn't work. The last time i was playing on test server i had to wait like 10 minutes to get into a single game. The vast majority of players doesn't care about testing things. They want stuff to work and complain if it doesn't. The MM needs big numbers to test him, not the 100-150 guys that run around on the testserver.

Waiting times below a minute? lol. I can go to the toilet, downstairs to the kitchen, get myself a coffee, come back and still wait a minute for a match. Group queue (in group of 3 or 5) is often around 5 minutes waiting time for me, solo queue was never below 1 minute ever for me. More like 2 and a half minutes on average. If i'm lucky.

I hope so, and Papaspud would be one of them because he already does it.

But just because its you.
Asking players what they want ends the way it ends right now roughly 85% of the time.
Remember a few weeks back we had a poll where 80% of the people wanted that change.

bad connection......... think it might be that 80%+ of the people are running heavies and assaults??? nah that wouldn't be it.

The problem with the testserver is that we get exactly nothing for being on it. All the XP, CBills etc is void for all the matches we run there. If we actually got some kind of reward for being there, or at least the CBills we got there would be injected into our actual account, a lot more people would be interested in joining. CBills are hard to come by these days. To expect us to play lots of matches with zero rewards or any kind of gifts in this economy is asking too much.
