I like the voting option, but...

1) voting is to fast
-> either less maps or more time

2) I dont like to be forced playing a specific mode
-> the previous system was okay imo

I personally like playing conquest, but currently I have to play skirmish most of the time....

PGI stated once that the initial cost to develop a map is 250.000$ round about.
Now ask yourself if you would pay 1/4 Million Dollar to give the Playerbase maps that are not played...

Terra therma and Caustic valley are almost the same so they didn't spend a lot there. Game mode selection still needs to go back to the old way! If they intend to force CW on us(And I think that's the next step) then that's going to be the last straw for a lot of players who do not like that type of game play.

PGI on game mode, I don't think you are getting it right.

Not a fan of this new system. A+ for the new screens, D- on the implications of this change. Remove the option to vote on mode, refund our ability to toggle in the UI.

If we have to vote on map, only give us the choice of 3 hot maps, 4 cold maps, 4 new maps, 4 normal-ish temperature maps. PGI spent so much time and money on map revamps and I'm not getting to play them at all.


I am so sick of Skirmish on Crimson and Mining collective already.

I've never had a problem getting quick matches and I play every day.

I'm about ready to actually vote for Caustic out of pure spite.

[Aedwynn]

Rollback that ****** select option right now!
1) You are forcing players to play game modes they don't like.
2) Cold maps almost always win the vote because most people don't want to bother with overheat.
3) Premade groups have advantage in selecting what map/mode they want to play.

Even if you adjust popular map to appear less it won't fix a thing:
1) people will still choose the coldest map from rest of available
2) and if you balance it so all maps are played equally it is same as keeping map choice random with a pretence of voting.

The only proper way to do it is to let player choose to what map of random 4 he drops, and then put him in group with who chose the same.

PLEASE bring back the selection option so I can select Skirmish and not Assault or conquest. Because Assault and Conquest suck.

thank you for making me laugh. im sure you mean that skirmish sucks, because it DOES, and it does so harder than a top of the line vacuum. im sick of skirmish, i rarely played it before, and absolutely HATE that im forced to now.

[Rinkata Prime]

Selecting 4 most unvoted maps in an hour for map vote screen is the only best option for PGI now.
In this way you can't stuck with one map over and over and still can choose which map to go.

[Grothaus]

lets see how a vote about the new voting system will turn out

The whole idea of being forced to play the mode you do not like is the issue, the idea of game mode choose was the only thing that made being re-dropped over and over on the same map you don't like was the only thing that made it palatable to play. Now the suck factor has been doubled.

I hate that you are forced to, too, but realize that there are Skirmishers (like me) who don't want to play your preferred mode any more than you want to play their preferred mode. Whatever your preferred mode, the real issue is people being compelled to play modes they don't want to play because "reasons".

I play whatever I'm on like Skirmish because I don't give a **** about the base and I don't give a **** about the resource points. I'm just out to do damage and get kills because that's what I find fun. I imagine this irritates the Conquest and Assault fans, but I don't play for your enjoyment. I'd be quite happy to see the walls between our playgrounds erected again, but I'm not confident PGI gives a ****.

P.S. these forums are slow as ****

For the mode, yes. Maps, random. Yes, like it was.

[RogueGarou]

First, thank you for making changes to the game and trying to improve on its quality and content. The work is appreciated.

BUT... the voting thing is not appreciated. Really, it isn't. And it seems that it is taking longer to get into a match sometimes. I can deal with changes to Mechs and weapons, even if I don't like them. I can deal with randomly getting onto a map where my loadout is not optimal; that is life. If you bring a knife to a gunfight, that is your mistake. Build a better Mech. But the voting thing is making the game unpleasant. Please revert this change.

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

I find it an improved, that needs een bit more:

20 sec. vote time

And sometimes just randomize the map.

Conquest: I ike too play all the gamemodes, you have to adapt.
This mode is ignored allot.

IDEA: If it's 20-80% vote on the mode. let it randomly pick from the 100% votes, conquest has less change but can stil be picked.

One of the 'goals' was decreased wait time - and people are wanting more time added to vote on the maps.

What the ****?

Just put it back the way it was so people could select the modes they wanted to play in and map selection was random. Not this "sometimes just randomize the map". Saying "you have choice" followed by "game will choose whatever anyway" is even more dickish than the current "choose from this slice of **** that was generated from the **** pie".

I am not a veteran player, but I was getting better very quickly.. Developing strategies to use, and mastering my playstyle. I have been playing for about 7 months now and have always been entertained with the game - both wins and losses. Good days and bad days - but one thing I learned was that the good games were always in Assault or Conquest.

Skirmish always was boring, and ended up with one person left alive on one team, running around the map trying to avoid the surviving enemy team's weapons. Predictable, time consuming, and time wasting.
In the non skirmish modes, there was always something you could do as a lone player - you could cap something, defend something - have some purpose in your team's loss.
The map never seemed to matter, but the GAME MODE made a big difference in my enjoyment of the game.This recent change has diminished my enjoyment, and the enjoyment of most of the people responding to this patch.


I see nobody that is happy about this change - not one person is satisfied, and I join the ranks of those that are very dissatisfied with the change you have made to the game. In the interest of what? The speed that we find a match? I waste more time waiting for that last hidden shutdown mech in Skirmish to finally let the game time out than I have ever waited for matchmaking.


Please read the responses from your users, and respond by at least reinstating the map mode choices so that players can choose their preferred game type. The map vote looks fun, and adds to the game - the mode vote does the opposite.

The decission of forced gamemode is RECKLESS. You didnt even asked your customers.

All Rage is right. Even though I didnt read all posts, but I can imagine the thoughts. There is a Reason, that I played 5k Matches in Assault, while the other game modes falling far behind... Again, you could have asked. I rather waiting 5mins for a match, then being forced to play games I dont like. Dont worry about the time, Im glad to say you that Im filling it with reading news, etc. The Internet is a miracle, full of time consuming things Oo.

I recommend to withdraw it.

[K4t4k1s]

Personally I like PGi's approach, but like it always is, nothing is perfect from start.

I dont have a good idea how to make people conquest available, but for the map vote, it would be fairly easy, to give only two maps for voting at a time. This would reduce frozen to show up so often. The video layouts would allow this change very easily.

Best

P.S. Maybe put conquest to CW. This could bring some more people to CW.
