Title. Got sick of terrible design and imbalance of some maps. Quitting match isn't legal. I was doing it in the past, but the game shouldn't work like this, cuz by doing it, I'm harming my team's gameplay - there should be a legal way not play on a map, on which I don't find any other viable tactic, except - die as fast, as I can, and move on, anyway. Today my first map of the day was, as always, lol, the worst one, which instantly killed all my good mood and desire to play this game. I'm even ready to pay money for enjoyable gameplay, if devs don't want to properly design this game for free. What do you think?

Worst idea Terra Therma would be the first on the list I kinda like nascar.

I still think the same I would like Terra Therma Redone a little but I like the fact its a hot map.

If they added the feature, nobody would ever play Terra Therma.

This is i agree on. I have been voting for better maps. I know PGI is going to adjust several excisting maps starting with River city. Finally, but the question is when?

[MrMadguy]

I don't know. Isn't it the goal, all F2P gamedevs are trying really hard to achieve? Player is in a such despair due to terrible game design and devs' mockery, that he is ready to throw any amount of money into monitor, only to quit this hell??? I've bought Wave 3 A'La Carte. Yesterday I've got really great mood and bought 2 Hero 'Mechs due to a sale (yeah, Heavy Metal isn't worth 6k MC in a ClanMechWorld, but 3k is ok), one 'Mech in gift store and wanted to buy another two today. And ONE STUPID MAP killed all desire to play this game again. Is it a good busyness - to scoff your most profitable players? To kill your game by your own hands? Yeah... PGI focused solely on CW. For whom they are doing this stupid CW? For elite players? You know... Elitism - is this thing, that kills every game the most.

As I already said, this is the second game in a row, I have the same problems with. I invest bunch of money into this game, but I don't see, that developers are using my money to improve game personally for me - they are using 90% of resources to produce content for 10% (in best case) of Elite players. I want to have more control over how my money are used - I want to pay for features, I want to be improved, DIRECTLY. I don't want to pay for 'Mech Packs, Hero Mechs, mechbays, camo specs, if developers are deciding to use this money in improper way, which causes game content being restricted for me - I want to pay for more non-CW maps, more non-CW modes, redesign of maps, etc. DIRECTLY, avoiding stupid gamedevs' decisions.

I like all the maps, only Viridian Bog seems meh to me. In fact i have the best win rate on River City Night. Terra Therma is ok too. Maybe there are flaws in map designs, but lets face the truth - even if you drop only on one map all the time, you will get stomped 12:2 from time to time. I enjoy almost every match, and even if i drop on Alpine in a Huginn, i usually find some stuff to do. Its all about teamplay, if the team works as a team, map is irrelevant. Just my 2 cents.

[MrMadguy]

Annnnd. Let Elite players pay for their content by themselves - not to parasitize on casual players. I don't want to be exploited and pay for someone's else enjoyment. It's really felt like discrimination and slavery.

Most of the maps in this game are undersized.

I used to work with the Halo 3 devs on map design and testing. The maps in this game are kind of a joke.

They said they won't do it because it will further spread / slow down match making and then the flames will be even worse.

If we had much much more players (not financially speaking, but mathematically), they would surely do it. But until then ...

Undersized? Lol. On big maps 80% of space is unused due to lack of cover vs LRMs/snipers and "group up to win" paradigm. Add more space - players will gravitate towards best spot on a map from tactical POV anyway. The only results, extra space on maps causes, are 5min wasted on just walking at the beginning of the match and hiding of Light K/D preservers/time wasters at the end of the match. Cut everything except central sector on any big map - and nothing will really change for 99% of players. Currently best maps in a game - are mid-sized ones with tons of cover. Canyon Network and Frozen City (Night) for example.

Then why are they splitting players base between Public Queue and CW? If you don't have enough players to fill one mode - then don't implement another exclusive one. Anyway - for me it's better to wait extra 2mins, but get much more enjoyable match, then wasting 10mins on terrible map, killing my brain cells.
