my group used to fight over cases of beer. A coffee grinder actually has reasonable resale value!

Oh my! We never thought of NAMING the beer that!

Right now it seems to be Conquest only on NA...

I like Conquest, Assault and Skirmish.

I just HATE it when I drop Conquest and our team plays Skirmish while enemy play Conquest. Same thing with Assault, drop Assault and one team plays Assault and the other plays Skirmish.

Every mode is Skirmish with an option for Conquest or Assault.

Out of the 12-14 Assault games I played... 3 ended in Cap.

Yep.

I even got bitched at for trying to save a Conquest match by capping in my Panther.

Yes, bitched at by some ***** for intentionally playing Conquest in Conquest.

I just want this event over so all these event farmers can go back to not playing.

I'm NA and unless there is a tournament on, my select is Conquest only. Why?

1) less murderball, more lance vs lance
2) more fighting on parts of the map you don't normally use
3) more tactics, when to cap vs when to fight

[Shad0wsFury]

NA player here. Can't stand conquest. Honestly it is the most banal and ridiculous vanilla gametype in the wide-ranging shooter genre, and, IMO, has no place in a Mechwarrior game. It's like PGI sat around one day and said: "Wow, people are complaining there is only one game type? What other gametypes can we add that have nothing to do with Battletech, but don't require us to have any sort of creative process at all? I HAVE IT! WE'LL ADD CAP POINTS AND CALL IT CONQUEST!"

I sort of find the inclusion of conquest to be offensive. Thus, I don't play it unless I'm compelled to by others.

Prefer conquest as needs team work and can be won without brute force and ignorance.

[Spr1ggan]

The reason conquest sucks is because it's design is flawed. The team that deathballs and plays it like tdm will usually win. People have known this for years and yet you still get players that refuse to take part in combat in conquest. They just run cap to cap ignoring enemies even on the smallest maps where focusing caps is pointless. These players cause you to have frustrating losses.

In my opinion PGI should take a cue from the BF series. Add respawns and a ticket system to conquest. That way the caps actually matter and fighting over them matters.

Do American players really dislike Conquest THAT much?

Most MWO players don't like Conquest, whether they're American or otherwise. But if you enjoy it you should play it.

[Fate 6]

Conquest is terrible. There is always a completely fresh mech left at the end because he decided to walk around capping. If that King Crab had decided to actually use his tonnage to fight we could have won, but instead we lose. Cap points are a noob trap. The team that stays together and just rolls through the enemy wins because they can just cap later when they have 12 mechs against the enemy's 4

Conquest should be King of the Hill instead. RHOD attempts to emulate KotH and it's fantastic. Hill spawn could be one of 3 random points on a map to keep it interesting

Conquest makes me want to kill myself with a spoon. Conquest on Euro servers makes me want to kill myself with a PLASTIC spoon.

Yes, because Assault on NA server is sooo much more fun, right?

(I have a ~45 ping on the EU server, this is from NA server yesterday):

I don't think there's an actual link to NA hating Conquest.

During the event, my NA stuff was skewed towards Skirmish (#1) with Conquest being #2.

I'd rather say it's the game's RNG/MM as there isn't an even distribution in the first place. Sometimes I get stuck on the same map.. often times on the same mode.

This game knows how to do repeat performances a lot, and it has less to do with the mode in question (even though I can understand there are some discrepancies and distribution differences).

I don't mind getting extra money in Conquest though. It's not like the Paulconomy came out of the depression yet.
