I don't often post but I feel that the problems of maps no-one likes and the modes that just don't work need to be addressed. It's not difficult for PGI to look at the click data from the choices we make and decide which things work and fix those that don't. This game is big but it deserves to be huge and unless they rein in the relentless money mill that is new mechs and look at the maps/modes the player base will get fed up and stop playing. I very rarely see anyone choose escort or incursion and Terra Therma/Viridian bog don't get picked very often. I have been playing Mechwarrior since tabletop and Pc versions and many many MMO's over the years and this is a good game, but it could be a great game if they look at data.

Well this does standout somewhat... but this thread's about lore, the board games...and probably the only thread on the general discussion that has nothing to do with MWO itself.

I love Terra Therma, personally, and we know the issue is that players won't voluntarily vote for maps that make running meta difficult to impossible and that some modes don't allow for min/maxed builds to get the ultimate kill streaks... so yet more reason they won't vote for things that make it hard for them.

Ultimately... I think they should just remove the voting system.

But this isn't the place to make the case. They don't really listen to anything but twitter...

Wrong forum section... this section is more for the TT game and the HBS game...

Despite this being in the wrong section, a quick thought in response Koniving was saying about heat...

What if when it came to voting, the map choices were grouped? So each selection of 4 would always be of equivalent heat, so one game you're picking from maps like Terra, another you're getting a choice of cold maps or neutral maps etc. Then it becomes about map preference, rather than heat, as whatever you pick, it won't be better or worse than the other 3 options presented to you.
