So I patched and tried out the new voting system. I think its a great system. I just wish we would have had it a long time ago.

[Goose]

We all bemoaned it, a long time ago, when first proposed …

[Furious Zen Master]

I like it too, I feel the Wind of Democracy sweeping the battlefields.

[Inkarnus]

Mechwarrior needs a map selection process. It can be part of the bidding process if settings are used as well.

So fix conquest, don't force people to play a bad game mode.

And on that note, nobody who didn't want to play conquest ever played conquest, because you could select game modes remember?

That's because the drooling masses prefer the mindlessness that is skirmish. Thinking and situational awareness is hard.

Conquest is fine. The problem is the horde of mindless brain-eating zombies that prefer Skirmish.

[Torgun]

I wish you all Conquest lovers could just accept that it's a mode that people can find boring even without having an IQ below 70. It would just make life easier for you not to perch on that high piedestal and catch a cold ever so often.

Under the old system I only had Conquest and Assault chosen. I only did skirmish mode recently due to the Halloween Event.

[Ratpoison]

They should have just removed all maps and modes except for Frozen City Skirmish, and saved us the extra 15 second wait time. Same effect.

[Blood Skar]

I have to say I also love this change.

I usually moan about some change to the game. I feel here they got this right.

Players might moan that some maps never get played. I can see that being said in the coming weeks.

10/10 change for me. love it.

What if Frozen City night isnt even one of the maps randomly selected for you to vote from?

Hyperbole much?

I didn't do Skirmish even during the event. That's how much I "dislike" (to put things ever so mildly) that game mode.

Haven't tried it yet, but looking forward to it. It seems like a good balance between player choice and improving matchmaking.

In the patch notes, someone proposed using the voting results to weight a random selection for map and/or mode in order to prevent some maps/modes going extinct. I kinda like that idea. It would also keep it from being same map/mode all the time.

[Prof RJ Gumby]

I liked all modes, all I get now is skirmish. Pretty boring.

[Cupid and Psyche _]

Do not like skirmish? Do not vote for it.

For better or worse, your vote has just as much weight as everyone else.

Maybe people will eventually get bored and begin to select different game modes and maps (or am I kidding myself?).

[MischiefSC]

I vote conquest and tt or bog every match. Wanting to get in with a ACH 12man to control voting, run cap accelerate and troll the holy living ess aych eye tee out of people.

I applaud pgi for providing me a trolling too of this caliber.
