Rollback it. Implementing vote system that way is a big mistake, I am surprised how it even got in patch.
Now we have obvious consequenses of ill thought idea - coldmap skirmish laserfest.
1) Do not force players to play gamemode they don't like.
2) It's pointless to adjust map vote system as it is now - reducing choices or adjusting how often map pops up won't change a thing. Players will chose the same - even if there are two choices they will choose anything else but terra therma for example. If map appearance adjusted then it is pretense voting.

This game is dead to me as long as I'm forced to play game modes I'm not interested in.

Disconnect Penalty System

Funny how just dropping into a match with 10 30 left will activate this, no disconnect, just sitting there waiting to drop. Then again I have been noticing the frame rates drop for the redone maps and mining collective and the bog were showing frame rates 1/3 lower that the other maps when they came out. Then the targeting glitches happened in February, and since then my mechs all have mechs Parkinson's. Or the targeting bounces from side to side or up or down violently. I am not sure if it is changes to the coding, or the increased use of the internet where I live. Even the bank is having issues and the sewer authority.

So I can vote for a game mode, wait to drop for minutes and sometimes go over the 3 minutes, with out dropping the game and signing back in, just sitting there staring at the spinning wheel and different bits of advice. Then get a penalty. Now how many can I rack up in a night. Most likely 3 or more. This is a good way to make people quit the game.

So every time over the 10 second period I will have to send in a ticket. For being penalized for a purposeful disconnect when I was waiting to drop in a match. Or I might just start at the 10 second one like what happened this morning. Voting system, only had one or two that I did not see to vote on. Screen for listing the players, for some reason since the patch I have only seen it twice.

Voting

Get rid of the voting for the game modes. I hated it before when CWI was dropping as the other team, seeing that it was conquest and DCing the last time this was tried. If groups were dropping, and saw conquest, they DC'ed. Is that still going on now?

You need to limit the number of map selection or I am going to live on caustic, Tremoline, alpine or canyon. For some reason I was getting Alpine peaks more than normal. (Alpine peaks was almost like once every few days for me before and now I had it a few times this morning) Did I mention I like to run LRM boats and I just named 4 maps that can allow one good LRM boat pilot to tip the game. They are also maps that give me some good frame rates to play with.

Community warfare is GARBAGE.

Give us back our game type choice with the Check BOXES.

I WILL NOT PLAY ASSAULT OR CONQUEST. I REFUSE TO.

I went from playing 4 to 6 hours a night to 30 to 45 minutes. I can guarantee you, I will never put a penny into this game now.

You took away the fun part, Now all there is garbage to hate.

I love the patch, I haven't had to play Forest Colony or River City once so far! I really could care less if I played Assault or Conquest. Conquest is fun if you are piloting a light - other than that it doesn't matter.

lights make no money

[DAYLEET]

It's really annoying when the games make you play 3 times in a row a map you dont like.

It's donw right toxic when 39% of the playerbase vote and win to make you play the same map/gamemode over and over for eternity.

Don't put so much negativity in the hands of your consumer, take your own responsibility PGI.

I am sure that having been here a year and not invested a penny, you would most certainly have done so in the coming year if PGI had done everything right... or not.

But in all honesty, that isn't really believable. Apparently we won't see you playing anymore or investing a penny, a shame... I guess.

On topic, voting doesn't bother me either way, perhaps some overabundance of cold maps but I am quite happy with near instant games.
And I've been seeing forest colony and friends, so not all maps are extinct. Some which are, probably deserve it.

[Talos7]

I like the new patch and the work that has been done lately. That said, conquest needs its own mode. Assault vs Skirmish, these always end up being about killing the other team; very rarely these days does a team win by taking the base (yes it happens).
But, conquest is different in game play and how a lot of players approach it. I for one hope we can be able to pick the mode when we choose our mechs.....
So, in essence. Voting for maps: Good, i like it.
Voting for modes as opposed to choosing them: Bad, i would rather choose myself.

At this point its completely obvious the voting system has ruined the game for alot of players.

Im 99% sure its going to get rolled back, whats irritating is PGI's silence about the issue and inaction. All this outrage, all the posts in the feedback section of the forums, and not one official response from PGI.

Its friday night, the weekend is here, roll the **** back, or at the very least post a response, telling us when this garbage is going to get rolled back.... and not on twitter please, nobodys got time for that

[SoulReaver7500]

My last match had a high on Skirmish and then it dumped us all into conquest. This voting thing is rigged.

Wait times are no faster than before.

I dont like the new system , lets say in a event i need skirmish games and all i get voted by others is conquest....?! Not cool !!! If i dont get the game mode selection back , the game will be a 'NO NO' for me !

[Meta 2013]

my 2 cents ... same as everyone else ... mode selection is a must, I've been a propionate of some type of map selection forever, so I am happy to see its been implemented, sadly its not been implemented in a good way. The way most have asked for it, was a straight up selection, like we had with game mode, and you would have to choose 6 maps.

This would allow for folks to have good chance of matching mechs and proper load-outs for a certain map type..ie close range brawling or longer range. But as usual PGI took what we asked for and bastardized it, to the point we regret ever asking for improvements. GG CLOSE. I like Terra Therma and do well in many mechs. But I want to be in one of those mechs. This map voting the way its implemented has done ZERO to help match a mech to the environment.

Cannot stand skirmish mode, and will not play it. Rarely drop assault, conquest is all I play 99% of the time

In what Freakin universe does taking away game mode selection give us more control. who ever wrote that... I pray you didn't go to college and waste your parents money ... but if you did, thank you for proving once again .. a college degree does not guarantee your not still an Idiot.

someone email me if they change the game mode selection back. No reason to be around mwo until they do.

[SoulReaver7500]

Game modes I hate to play (assault and conquest) my performance drops by 70% or more, Hard to play well if you are being forced to do something you hate.

Funny, I pay for WOW. At least Blizzard tries to keep their customers happy which is more than this game does.

In the November Road map, the developers said:

While it’s true that this new system will mean that players who have previously chosen to de-select a specific game mode will now sometimes need to play the game mode they would have otherwise never played, we feel that this change is the right choice going forward.

I think this was a bit of an understatement.. sometimes I guess means sometimes always...

Yes, PGI, please! Because I want to log in and play the fixed game.

Developer: "While it’s true that this new system will mean that players who have previously chosen to de-select a specific game mode will now sometimes need to play the game mode they would have otherwise never played, we feel that this change is the right choice going forward."

This is absolute nonsense. He probably did not even care logging in or seeing the statistics. He is just told what to program. He even forgot to mention maps.
