From my time on these forums I can derive that 80% of you are a bunch of salty crustaceans (don't ask, i'm not the best at insults). Lighten the hell up! Its a god damn game, and for crying out loud stop taking everything so damn literal and serious.

/moan

those of us raising our voices in outrage have a god damned good reason for us to do so. There are those of us who prefer tactical fights which, if your familiar with BF3 or 4 and I assume Hardline possibly is a common cry: PTFO or PLAY THE EFFING OBJECTIVE. Look, there are those of us who build our mechs with multiple ranges of engagement. Right now, with this voting, the simple minded mob is keeping us on the tactically void nonthinking call of duty like mode called Skirmish. A LOT OF US HATE THAT. My self is included. I dont mind a bout of Skirmish after I have spent a few hours trying to fight a tactical fight to unwind, but, constantly being stuck on maps like HPG Manifold and Frozen City just so the simple minded can spam the hell out of ERLL's is stupid as all hell.
Is it a game? yes. Is it fun NOW? NOPE, well, for a majority of us at least.
Fact: this **** keeps up, PGI will watch as MWO crumbles because they pissed off too many people and when you do that, we leave with our money.

I played a few matches last night and I have to say I absolutely loved the vote system. The wait times were pretty much none existent which was my main gripe before hand.

I'm also liking the disconnect penalties! I was sick of people joining a match only to leave and farm c-bills like a scrub.

Keep it up

waiting time at T4? Did you only have skirmish enabled with a Heavy class?

Freedom for one can become oppression for another. There really was no reason for this voting system to be implemented, mode choice was fine as it was. Map choice begs the question why any company should bother making new maps when voting players restrict choices to a portion of them.

Want Terra Therma back in queue? Make standing in center same as standing in lava. Heat comes up. Get rid of Ghost HeatTM. Problem solved. Yes more people like the Lower temp maps. But also they are better designed. You can win on Frozen city in more than one point of the map. Alpine...not so much. People like Tourmaline and Caustic. Therma. No. Center all day and it bites the big one.

- You can fight outside center on Terra, done it as have others. Not the map's fault you go center like a mindless lemming. I even had Terra show up once since voting arrived, we stayed outside center after a King Crab pilot suggested it, we won. Lots more fun too.
- Frozen, despite what you say, usually has people going C4 for the 'usual' brawl. Bogus argument.
- Alpine is getting a whole new map.
- Caustic is not loved under voting, check the poll to see. It is one of the maps hardly voted for. Shows up less often than Alpine.
- Tourmaline shows up less often than several other maps.

And for that matter, How many times have you seen bog? No hotter than some maps. People don't want it because of the garbage you have to attempt to traverse and get stuck on just to get around.

Learn to maneuver, has to be done on all maps.

Guys, I didn't want this to end up being a place for people to complain. This thread was meant for me to show my appreciation, feedback is welcomed i'm sure but if you have a problem please take it to your own thread and start a discussion there

Well you wanted Majority and Democracy, under such a system people can come into your thread and post counter arguments. Just because you do not believe them does not invalidate what they post.

[Rejarial Galatan]

Voting is boiling this game down to Skirmish and 3 maps. Sorry, this is just sad. It is losing what made it special thanks to a bunch of mouth breathing dips who act like this is some expac to call of duty. sad day. sad sad day.

I literally play mainly assault and conquest since the vote system kicked in, are we playing the same game here guys or is it just me? And I played plenty of bog and river city, and forest colony?

For the ten billionth time, I wasn't saying people can't have their say, or calling their arguments out as wrong. I was just pointing out the same people who go to a thread, moan, then leave and moan on another one. The forums are just full of people moaning.

Clearly we are not. I gave up trying on the 3rd day and had a single conquest and a single assault to that point. And even those were played as skirmishes, of course, since everyone is fielding skirmish loadouts these days (even more so than before), expecting to get into another skirmish again and again.

Unless something has changed in the last days, I sincerely cannot believe one can have more of the non-skirmish modes, than he has skirmishes.

While I agree that not enough is done by PGI to create distinguishable gamemodes, what in the world is a "skirmish loadout"?

lol.
he probably meant "cold map loadout"?

i guess skirmish loadout is a loadout with weapons... :S

Sorry, couldnt resist



But seriously, this annoying vote for what you want to do it getting old faster than last weeks fruit.

What was so bad about the game mode shoices from before? Dont want to play a certain game mode, dont select it and be prepared to possibly wait longer.

Got a bad map for your setup? Tough luck, Karma is a female dog, next map is possible to be perfect for your build and terrible for some one else.

Probably a mech with a lot of weapons you would never take to a conquest match because it would be far too slow.

I don't think it's too hard to guess what was meant by that statement, but for the sake of better explanation, let me elaborate.

It's meta builds aimed for direct combat and favoring firepower and armor over speed and mobility, usually the in heavier parts of the spectrum.

A "cold map loadout", term used by mazzy, would fit the bill as well, considering it's the current meta.

I know how you feel, beat you to it

And I see, more of a DPS horse rather than something that's designed to be mobile and capture bases/objectives.

Somehow you are the minority as shown by the poll, most are like mine.
If you have a choice between Conquest and Assault/Skirmish, 99% you get non-Conquest hence why I did not have a vote for Modes.

For the twenty billionth time, I am pointing out not only the obvious but people who start threads for 'reasons' when there are other threads for discussing the subject. Plenty of threads already on the voting system, we need more started by the trending-at-the-moment IAmSoSpecial player?
