You all called me a troll for expressing my opinion, Which is the same thing the OP did. So i figured id make your wish come true and i became this troll you think i am for having an opinion other then the Op's.

I think you both need a hug or something....

At what point did I ever call you a troll?

This is a time to cash in on happy gamers...


I was one of those when i pre ordered the marauder ($55). Ok, not exactly happy, but moderately happy + the MAD being my favourite mech ever. Now i'm an unhappy player split between the desire to drive my MAD's and the desire to ask for a refund and not spend a single $ again in this game. I still hope PGI rolls back the voting "feature" before the deadline to the MAD.

This is not a regional problem, there are players who don't like to be forced to play skirmish all over the world. That said, i removed myself from the solo/group queue, i don't want to be part of this "frozen city / HPG / Alpine skirmish online" bad joke.

Russ Bullock tweeted that they are looking at reducing the map choice to three in the next patch and there is some other change he can't talk about yet that is supposed to allow for more choice, and less Cold Skirmish Again. He didn't tweet it quite like that but that's the gist of it.

I'm glad...the PUG game's been a little...predictable lately.

If you gain too much weight its your own fault
If you get sick because you smoke its your own fault
If you get sick because you drink its your own fault
If you are broke because you bought mechs before Christmas....

PGI WTF are you doing..... The voting system failure, removing and changing quirks and more..

Your doing this a month and a half before the Christmas season and your players are not happy..

You know that every other game is trying to attract gamers... Well your experimenting and ruining your core game/gamer base

Other games are coming (you know) people will not come back to MWO at this rate.

Due to the voting system ruining my gaming experience to HELP OTHERS get matches faster? means..

No Christmas spending on MWO this year!

I have removed myself from everything but North America - I will not support your weaker markets anymore. They can wait 10+ mins even with this stupid voting system.

Fit your mistake ASAP or fire the fools that are doing this with the Christmas market just around the corner.

Boo ******* hoo, I can't pick the game mode I specifically want 100% of the time anymore. Oh noes! I'm a **** player that can't adapt to different situations or I play the META so I have to QQ when my super mech that should destroy everything can't because people keep picking the maps/modes that don't work as well for it!

Never mind that the entire week plus after it patched, matches were dropping in no time flat. That the MM was far closer in team composition skill wise than the old system because of the larger pool of players it could draw from. No, let's not focus on the the fact the voting system has IMPROVED the matching of players, lets just focus on crying that I can't play the modes that I want 100% of the time (let's face it there's only 3 anyway and 2 are nearly the same except you can win if a team is stupid by base capping) and that people are choosing the most popular maps in the game.

------------------------------------------------------

Suck it up buttercup. The system might not be PERFECT, but this game doesn't have a massive player base like the big name shooters. Its a niche title/genre to begin with and a huge amount of it left pre-IGP split, though unfortunately PGI did not help by concentrating solely on a content push instead of balance.

As for map voting, I doubt its going anywhere any time soon and personally I prefer it this way. People have wanted control, and now there's a certain amount of it. The only thing that needs work is the grouping of maps. They need to be grouped by popularity of play, with the most often picked being thrown together, the least played together, and the rest in another choice.

what they have in plan before XMAS ?

you rly like to know the plan ?

so....

1) deploy great REBALANCE (totaly disbalance all mechs, no quirks, nothing) in 2-3 weeks.
2) depoloy 16 new mech in one day, this will even more disbalance, alrdy messed up balance fromgreat rebalance patch

enjoy it, and here is new obsolete mech pack for 55$ for single mech. (mara+waha+rifle thing)

Well I for one don't care about the voting system (wouldn't mind seeing more conquest but still this is not a big deal to me), but since the thread title mentioned Xmas...

For Xmas I would like:

To see a new skill tree for each mech or at least each mech class introduced (not just the current nerf proposal).
I would like to see my Quickdraws re-scalled and at least some of their quirks maintained (of all the chasis in the game that NEED quirks to encourage play the QD is gotta be near the top of the list).
I would like Clan mechs to remain or be made tougher but with corresponding increases in cost (I like fighting foes who are tougher than me...makes it worth while... Let cost be the "balance").

As it is unlikely that I will get any of these things, I would settle for proper hit registration for PPCs and SRMs?

Asking too much of Santa?

You forgot to mention all of the IIC's are coming December 15th... so if you think all of the above is bad...

Forget Terra, prepare for an assault on Uranus.

I'm not sure if I'm experiencing some different map/mode votes than the rest of you, but I've had several drops in the last two days that dropped on Therma and where the vote was between Assault and Conquest. When Skirmish isn't even an option in some votes I think you're stretching a bit to say that PGI has killed two game types.

Now honestly I find Conquest to be a fairly stupid mode since this is a no respawn game. Most of the games of Conquest I've dropped in that ended with a resource win were really just kill 10 enemy Mechs then waste time looking for the two remaining Lights that ducked out of the fight early. Oh hey couldn't find them and now we win on a slightly shorter timer. Hell I've been the Light trying to get caps to squeeze out the win. Now if they modified Conquest and/or Assault to have a specific attacking team and defending team the game modes might have a little variety, but right now it's just a variation of Skirmish that you can lose if you don't pay attention.
