Too bad meta-tryhards-L33ts only care about stats not cbills Russ.

I wonder how many people at PGI know that I don't give a f*** about 30,000 C-bills if it means I have to spend large portions of the match standing on a square, twiddling my thumbs.

Create better game modes, guy.

[PurpleNinja]

I indeed knew about it, but the drawback is awful.

[DAYLEET]

I wonder how many play a game mode because of the cbills reward?

[Kira Onime]

Never knew, don't care.
Game mode is not interesting... 30k won't magically make it better.

As they say, "the juice, most definitely, was not worth the squeeze"

[TheCharlatan]

30k?
That's like 2 flamers!
OMG, why didn't anyone tell me this?
Now i can stock on my beloved flamers without slowing my progression

Not when you get pug stomped because you were trying to cap while the other team just killed your team mates who were all spread out trying to cap.

[Tatula]

One UAV and poof, 40,000 c-bills gone. Make it 100,000 and I'll reconsider.

[Revis Volek]

Wow!

Thats 10,000 Cbills away from ONE CONSUMABLE....

and still 50,000 away from the two most people can use per match.




The mode is boring...if I didnt have to have it selected fomr wait times I would'nt.

Russ.... did you know that listening to the communiy could give you 30k$ more income per week than the Assault and Skirmish you perform on many aspects on this game including balancing?

Create better game modes, guy.

The maps are to small for so many capture points.

Remove two. The remaining should randomly "spawn" in any one of current locations.

Could be more then nascar from spawn to spawn.


Maybe try more of a Capture and Hold/King of the Hill Conquest? One spawn, randomly placed, must be captured and held for X amount of time?

[C E Dwyer]

I guess mindless deathballs are the meta then, for I can shoot straight but have no tactical skill pilots, this only confirms that most MWO players fall into this catagory

so much for thinking mans shooter

[Prof RJ Gumby]

While I agree that conquest could be improved, the sheer hate some people have for it is ridiculous. Judging by certain comments, playing a conquest game is as terrible as being tortured at least.

Jesus, all there is to do is not having the enemy outcap you too much, or push and kill quickly when they do. That's it. Just a little additional layer of tactics. Where's the horror? Where's the terror? Where is that pain and grief?

All reasonable ideas. Also, PGI should check out other games and see how they do it. They sometimes have gaming modes where there are bases to cap, but only at certain times. So a base will activate and everyone will rush to cap it. Then it deactivates and another base activates at a random position on the map, so everyone has to rush to cap that one. This makes the game mode dynamic. Star Conflict has this, Star Wars Battlefront has this, and so forth.

It would be so easy to look at other games for game modes that are actually popular and celebrated, but PGI insists on reinventing the wheel and just bulldozing any opposition.

How long are the matches? It is all about c-bills per minute.

Plus conquest is like a Tabasco *****.

Yeah, and the team that is holding it is left wide open to attack from all sides. Brilliant.

[Davegt27]

Ha ha some pretty funny answers

It might help if we say why we don't like something
For me conquest are mostly roll stomps by one side or the other so I deselect conquest you see there are three choices
Go right, go left, or go center
If I go left but the other lance goes right then the chances for a win go way down
Only when the whole team pulls together do you really win
So figure a one in three chance of a win (maybe an over simplification)

One solution would be to change conquest to a senerio based game mode
Or a more linear conquest that forces teams to join up with at least one other lance before proceeding on to other objectives

This all feeds back in to the power of mechs TTK, mech durability since being one lance down is death
