Title speaks for itself... it's a bit much. I'm not a great fan of it. It's okay but I really am getting fed up of playing it quite this often. Please reset the probabilities to something more even. Please?

Amen.

Dial the drop rate on this map way back please. Was cool at first. I am sick to death of it now.

dude, it's set to 20% probability each match.

Chill. It's far less common than Mining Collective was.

Personally, I could do with more VB. The My only real issues with it are the really wonky collision models and how effective thermal vision is vs normal.

Literally I played for 2-3 hours and like 1-2 matches weren't VB, practically 90+% of the matches were VB which is way extended compared to 40-60% back when Mining Collective was released.

Yes, it is a new map and they need to test it out to understand it. And so do we.

thats is clearly made initially to gather more feedback and bug reports, and it will be toned down later as well.

Also be glad it is like that it gives you a good opportunity to get used to the map and trian on it.

Not that only this map is THE WORST map in MWO (while before the title of the worst was kept by Therma), but even chances to get this **** are too high. I just leave every match I get this **** :ph34r:

I started playing this game again after a month of absence and one whole evening worth several hours I didn't get a single match with the 'Bog'.

So far my record is 8 in a row. Its about the only damn map I drop into now. My roomie plays on my system. She played right after I did my 8 in a row. She never saw it in twenty or so matches. I got back on and it was my first drop then several times after intermixed with alpine and caustic.

Go figure.....

I haven't been seeing it that much. Maybe around 15% or less.
(if all maps were weighted even, they would each be at 8.3% I believe)

I do really enjoy playing on the map though. Even though I'm forced to play at lowest graphics options, it's still beautiful while not causing unbearable FPS drops, plus it's still relatively new, so it's fun to lead the pugs to different locations and try various tactics out.

I still don't see how thermal vision helps on this map. Are you guys that blind?
