weight voting must go we want CHOICE , we want to enjoy the game we play and right now I'm just not feeling it

[Rejarial Galatan]

i enjoy both assault and conquest and try to give my all to those modes. I abhor skirmish because to me, its like battlefield. if i want to mindlessly death match, i will re-install BF4 on my ps4 and play that.

Regardless of personal feelings towards modes, the main point is that people are being forced to play modes that, for whatever reason, they do not want to play. It isn't fun.

I don't care what RL war is like, for those who keep bringing that crap up. This is a game. If I wanted "RL war" ********, I would've reenlisted.

My favourite part about this whole conundrum is that given the current implementation, all three gamemodes are essentially exactly the same. Yet people complain about gamemode choice.

effin worst patch ever, im dealing with idiots now that are picking the lowest map ratio in each round so they can get the 12X mulitplier just so they can pick the worst map on purpose. then they brag about it in chat.(guess what dudes i picked terra therma with my 12X mulitplier,) the next round aint bad enough
(guess what dudes i got the 12 x multiplier and i picked terra therma too) i cant get away from these idiots all night there were 4 of them picking terra therma and i even walked away for 20 min to try and get off the same round as them no luck the very next match( you can thank me for picking this map i got the 12 X multiplier.

Hide the ratios so no gets to see whats being picked im tired of playing the same map every time. if you get a few guys and take turns you can play the same map all night. try it for yourself.

better yet put it back to the way it was.

and the Tier level give us a number lets say there are 20,000 players just for example id like to know where i stand top 4000 are in tier 1 ok but am i ranked 3999 or am i ranked 10th
i would like to know so i can compete with people ahead of me this would give people something to strive for. if your rank is tier 5 and your 20,000 guess what? you can only go up from there. lets make this more competitive and stop with the useless patches.

you want to fix the waiting part i have a fix for that too. every drop is 3 to 5 minutes any ways let the map be the first thing you see when you hit play. then instead of the searching for match play you enter a room where someone takes command and you talk tactics about the current map before you drop. this gets people involved it gives new players a way to communicate and ask questions and allows teams to organize with PUG. lets say I have 8 team members and 4 PUG we get to talk strategy while waiting for the other team. Team leader can move the map around and tell lance members to move this way or that way wait here or attack over there then the wait time can be 10 minutes but no one would notice because they are involved in the match itself before it starts.

I tried a few more times tonight there are better games to play, tonight was way to frustrating i used to enjoy playing mech warrior but to be honest im contemplating the delete button, when i get home from work and get the kids to bed i looked forward to getting online and blowing **** up. now i know why i never see anyone from my team play anymore, its just not fun anymore.
good luck everyone hope they do the right thing.

Voting results don't seem to always work... Terra therma wins (it showed as much in the intermediate screen) but we dropped on caustic...

I confirmed with others in the game that they saw Terra winning as well...

[The Supreme Topping]

Terra was winning not by choice but by idiots exploiting the 12X multiplier each time then bragging about it so here is a way to get this fixed i dont see myself coming back any time soon so if everyone takes a few days off from playing they will have no choice but to deal with it. having a vote in a war game really think about it, it doesn't work its not salvageable so put it back to where it was before you destroy your product. i see 2 identical threads on this same topic both with very irate players. and very few supporters.

so before you make changes to game dynamics why dont you set up a topic where us the gamers can help you fix an issue at hand before you go live with stupid ideas that dont work.

here is another tidbit its thanksgiving and i usually have 20 or 30 family and friends over and everyone loves to see what im into online and i love to brag about some of the great games im into with my rig that can play most anything and look like your in the game. as do many of the people out here in the U.S guess whats not going to be shown on my rig this year. yea im a little dissatisfied with the game play as of late usually when i recommend a game to friends and family they try it out and play them. MWO will not be one of them this year sorry, i see the game going from an awesome and great vision to just another pay day for someone who can drive the game into the ground as quickly as possible. you need to refocus if you plan on saving this game and figure out what made it great in the first place.

I would love to see global PGI-farmed statistics to confirm this, but I personally have started to see waiting times reduced by 25-50% depending on time of day and less complete stomps. Now that the weighting mechanism is implemented, I also see a bigger variety of maps and modes. I'm pretty sure the world is not ending.

Don't want it, didn't want it. The point is being forced in to game modes unwanted. I would gladly go back to the map rotation the way it was and the wait times to stop being forced to play Assault and Conquest.

Terra Therma is my favorite map, and I always vote for it. When we get it, we get happy sometimes. You should not be so rude about people enjoying one of the best maps (in my opinion) in the game.

However, I strongly adhere to the opinion that map (and mode) voting should be disabled.

[The Supreme Topping]

i like terra therma its not my favorite but i can only take so much of it due to the hot builds i have, every other shot im overheating.
and about being rude there are guys bragging about exploiting a bug in the vote system then a few others jump on that band wagon and start doing it as well so it gets really annoying when im trying to have a good time when i get home from work with limited play time and i get idiots that take the fun out of the game like they did. for the most part many of the patches have been positive but this last one really made people upset in ways i never seen before. alot of people really want this game to work but forcing game modes the way they did definitely ruined it for alot of people and i feel the same way. i refuse to log back in unless its fixed and if they dont they lost a fan ive been playing a long time longer than pgi 's been around i still have every mech warrior game ever made sitting on a shelf waiting for the day they come up with a decent version, this one was almost it but they have gone way off track with it over the last few months. they need to stop building mech variants and start concentrating on getting back to the roots of the game. someone mentioned in a thread about merc contracts and picking maps i liked his idea i think it would work better than voting for a map and mode where you have no choice about which game to play. lets see if they fix it issue at hand first. in the mean time im having alot more fun playing hawken right now its a little faster gameplay mechanics are different and no drama.

i am not sure why people keep focusing on ONLY the map voting, when the real issue is:

Being FORCED TO PLAY MODES THAT WE DO NOT WANT. Cant disco from the modes you dont want, cant stand around in them, cant suicide, end result: being forced to play a mode you dislike. map voting is bad too do not misunderstand, but the poison is forcing modes that people do not want and mixing players from modes you do not want in modes you enjoy. its hurting the game and honestly the backlash that is coming from the steam community will be felt for generations that will still be around in the year this game takes PLACE!!

But, YAY, faster matchmaking. amirite?

Nevermind that the quicker matchmaking shoves people into modes they don't want to play.

[Rejarial Galatan]

funny thing is, its SLOWED match making. taking time to vote, and having players from all mode types in a single mode, where some enjoy the active mode, where others dont, and having people give half a rats fart of a try isnt helping, its hurting. ive played 3-4 matches tonight as of this particular post, all skirmish. i hate skirmish. i do not want to play it, but, because russ screwed the pooch, i must play it....

Taps the screen....TAP TAP TAP......HELLOOOO???? ANYONE ONE HOME?? DEVS??? PGI STAFF???? HELLOOOOOOOOO??? pfft.....not even a "Gone Fishin'" sign......stands in the rain with my broken "Love The Game" hat....looking at a vacant building.......

[Joris ende Draeck]

Agree, voting needs to go.

[White Bear 84]

Ah I reminisce of the good old days when nobody had a choice what game mode or map they were playing..

[TitaniumWolf]

just doing my part keeping the topic alive until we here from someone who has no authority to respond but can say
something stupid on behalf of the decision to keep the voting alive.
