Tired of being forced to play modes I hate. Tired of murderball/peekaboo skirmish/assault EVERY MATCH. It may make your wait times shorter but the players get shafted. I've been here a long time but it's just not fun anymore. I'll play occasionally still, but I'm refunding all my outstanding purchases, you take away my choice, I take away my money. I have the cbills to buy the mechs I want when they are available. You've lost my interest in playing regularly with this crap voting system.

Good day Sirs.

[xlrdallas]

could not agree more, force modes, same maps over an over= no money

[FinnMcKool]

I also asked for a refund , But said that if they got rid of the game mode voting I would keep all my purchases .

They havent got back to me in any case ,??? Does that mean they will change it?

[FinnMcKool]

Rats , they got back to me.
just giving me the money back,
Would have been nice if they would just have talked with us.

Bummer

[Commander A9]

I want my game type filter back, thank you!

I see no reason to have that taken away from players and given to the mobs!

[Tuis Ryche]

**** this mode voting system.

[Rejarial Galatan]

PGI or more specifically RUSSELL BULLOCK thought voting would be good, but, hedged his bets when he altered the rules of this game to make your only way of protesting in the moment flat out illegal here. If you hate skirmish and find yourself in it, you USED to be able to DC or suicide or just not do a single thing. Now? get reported and potentially BANNED for not participating.

Smell something hinkey? I sure as hell do. It is called: do what we say, no matter what YOU WANT and you may STAY. Think for yourself and go jump off a cliff. See now they want mindless deathmatches or you can leave. Thats what it feels like to me now at least.

Gone are the days when this game had hope. So long as Russ keeps this BS going, this games going to fail. Just wait for the steam crowd to see this crap, watch the tidal wave of hate flow in.

[Tuis Ryche]

I'm looking forward to evangelizing to the Steam crowd.

Might be many lulz ahead.

funny thing there are now close to 2 dozen i hate voting topics on the forums maybe a little more no one likes it we have a few thousand views if you count all the people reading them a little more than a hundred participants voicing their opinions against the voting modes, which is way more than most topics that get someone from pgi to answer them and say they will look at the issue in hand or fix it. but not this voting issue not a peep they are silent and hoping it dies out i guess. this must really be hitting a nerve in upper management, or it came from the boss and he wont admit he made a mistake.

[EightBitKnight]

Do they really not expect players to write negative steam reviews warning other players how PGI treats it customers? I plan on reviewing this game when hits steam shelfs and lately I don't have much in the way of nice things to say. And map voting is just the tip.

[FinnMcKool]

I dont want to scare away Steam players , I still love this game , and think they did a great job ,mostly with the Art work and mechs.
The problem is No Dev. even responded in any way , Not an excuse or reason .

I went and got a refund for the IIc Marauder Warhammer and Rifleman , I made it clear I didnt want to do that , but they wont even respond.
?????????

Might as well troll the forums, the game has lost too much enjoyment with this voting system, no mates playing anymore, actually cant even get a group drop 30min waits, tich tich pgi i hope someone is listening.

[Anunknownlurker]

Bloody hell, get a grip. We, the players, should be happy PGI even give the barest of shits what we think. I'd love to see Blizzard, EA or Bungie reacting to their players....

Seriously though, if you aren't happy with the way the game is going then throwing the toys out of the pram is not the way to fix it; threats to uninstall, quit the game or demand a refund simply won't have the effect you want.

PGI has made these changes because they believe they are better for the game (they may be right, they may be wrong I don't really know) and that is their starting point, therefore, in order to change their minds you have to deliver constructive criticism with metrics (% of game mode and maps etc) rather than opinions and anecdotes. You have to provide alternative ideas with reasoned argument, however, even then they do NOT need to listen to your views, they are not contracted to react to anything we say; it is PGI's game, not ours. Sometimes - e.g. the laser lock on in PTS - the views of the players are taken into account but we cannot expect that.

My view? I don't mind the voting system however I would like to see the ability to change your vote removed as that will cut down on the "gaming" which clearly takes place during the vote. Did I prefer it before the voting came in? Yes. Does voting make the game significantly worse? No.

TL/DR - Quitting doesn't fix anything it just leaves it broken for the new players

[The Lost Boy]

Good-bye.

You could also look on this suggestion, and maybe support it:

http://mwomercs.com/...-voting-system/


It brings both lesss waiting time & map votes (without 20 secs of additionally waiting)

[FinnMcKool]

Its "game mode Vote" that is really broken, But if you like Skirmish only and all the time ,I can see how you would like it this way.

Its clear to anyone who plays the game , you can vote all you want , even get the game mode you want , But there are Skirmish players that turn any game into Skirmish.

You really dont get to vote, Unless your a skirmish player.

The added 5 seconds is just an INSULT.
they stuck the knife in, and now they just had to give it a twist.
