Lesson learned....

So anyone who comes into my conquest game and tries to skirmish instead of cap should result in my dc'ing, suiciding or powering down in the corner like a spoiled kid since I didn't get my way and my playstyle???

Never been so disappointed in this forum till now....

I don't disagree or agree with the outcome but the matter in which it was reached...

Btw, people had a choice. They didn't HAVE to play. They could've talked with their accounts by not logging in.

Thats exactly what I did.

Which is partly WHY IM calling for the players that did this TO be punished. They COULD have opted out, they chose to break the rules instead.

You didnt read the post where I already replied to this but I can copy/pasta too

Your post probably came as I was writing mine. I do not think it's any more than that.

Thanks PGI for turning it back. Have disabled conquest when puging while I do play it in a group. Out of 12 pug matches yesterday and today i got 9 out of 12 being conquest which was disabled. Would have been fine if it were 40% of the matches but 75% was too much.
I do appreciate the will to improve and communicate. Thanks PGI...carry on guys.

Correct decision but sad because obviously Russ hoped for a much more positive feedback.

It would have been if it had made noticeably better games. My team won 12 out of 13 games yesterday and only had 1-2 of those fights be close calls. Not to mention today while pugging I was thrown in game types I didnt want to play and our team still crushed the enemy teams.

Had it made games visibly closer / evenly matched players, it would have been a more positive expierience. Unfortunatly it did not.

Disappointing that they already reverse it.

I was hoping
they would give it more time -
we would give it more time.

I think people severely over-estimate the credibility of the forum and the people who post here.

I wouldn't post here and subject myself to reading the constant whining, complaining and crying that goes down here on a regular basis if I had another alternative to keep track of things.

There is so much nonsense posted here everyday on a regular basis. It amazes me anyone takes these forums seriously.

This is the peril of 'community involvement' in development decisions. Players frequently don't know what they actually want, and you'll never get input from most until you do something they actively dislike.

It didn't seem to me like the new system reduced the frequency of stomps at all (especially in skirmish.) So what was the virtue of it again?

Sorry I never check twitter or any link to it, that's my fault. Now I know in advance. I am to big for the pram , now I just push the toys through the steel bars, lol.

to... reduce the frequency of stomps...

So did they ever remove it or what

[Impyrium]

Well... this is a disappointing thing to wake up to. Not so much in PGI's decision, since I don't care either way and it's ultimately the only decision they could have made, but the way we got here.

And even then, not at everyone that voted no, since that's perfectly fine. But rather the community members and players that absolutely kicked up a **** storm over it, not even a day after it was released. Seriously, just how entitled are these players?

My perception of a certain few members is't exactly going to be very high from this point in, I think. I genuinely feel sorry for PGI and the work they would have put into the voting system. I wish there was way to apologize to PGI on behalf of the decent community here.

I got the feeling that not many people were actually playing today. I kept seeing the same names over and over again, much more so than before. Of course, that could just mean that the matchmaker was just consistently putting people with elos close to mine in my matches, but the degree to which it was happening made me think it was a lack of people to choose from.

If it really was that, with so many people electing not to play because of the change, I can imagine they'd be eager to get back to the old system.

Pleas don't be to upset about it, it made the game for some people not enjoyable any more and we showed it on a very strict way. What if tomorrow mech selection will be just a "vote" and if the MM need a medium and you will maybe start in a mech you don't like?

It was taken back because it was a given feature before and not accepted as expected.

Also I don't drop out of maps because I do not like them but on RCN I have no fun and if I have this map the third time at night, I'll be happy if someone TK me. Also I play much more offensive because I want this match end as soon as possible. Do you really want play your favorite game mode with 5 in your team that just play it because they will be banned if the don't? Then you probably will have a DW at base and he is saying "I did my best to protect the base ..."
