Well, "on a rare occasion" might be appropriate but it wouldn't make a very good title



Has your faith in your fellow Mechwarriors restored yet?


PS: I know that I had 4x multiplier but it would've only changed little if I had not picked anything.

And just a few seconds earlier Frozen City was 70%. Everyone thought, "Hey, if Frozen City is going to win, I might as well pick a loser that no one will pick to boost my multiplier... Terra Therma has 4%, PERFECT!" Boom! Terra jumps to 52% lol.

That actually happened to me last night, but it happened within the last second. I'm guessing with 3 seconds left, your voting group might have actually wanted Terra.

Question, was your build pretty cool? Trying to gain an advantage over those laser vomit players?

Yes, what you described often happens but we actually dropped on Terra.

EDIT: I mean Terra had more votes since start and not the result of vote hopping.

I forgot what I brought to that particular play but I almost never think about my heat capacity when choosing a map. What kind of weapons and Mech I bring have more weight.

Ah... I think this one was my fault.

I'd saved up like an x12 modifier on both so I could get TT conquest which is my favorite map/mode combo.

[Coolant]

I end up playing almost all maps.

[Moldur]

Like it was stated, usually people just trying to boost their modifiers if the map they want is already getting picked. I hope everyone sees why that's a stupid problem. I'm really liking the mech arena game attached to the voting game though.

Terra Therma conquest is constantly played because everyone thinks they are being unique and going to "troll everyone" by picking it.

Same with just conquest. I play it more now with voting, than I ever did with all three modes selected on the old system. Same reason, people think they are being individuals when it's really just herd mentality.

[Revis Volek]

I wait until i get a 5-7 multiplier and FORCE everyone onto Terra Therma or Caustic....

yea, im that guy.

I dont think im being an individual, im sure im not the only one out there doing this. But it is fun to see the whine when they thought Frozen S$%tty was on the menu.

[Deathlike]

The game within the game is arguably more fun than the real game.

I love this minigame. My goal is to rack up a maximum multiplier for those cases when a map gets chooosen that I do not want.

[LordNothing]

i like hot maps because it really brings out the ballistics.

[Alistair Winter]

Terra Therma is the worst map design in the whole game. It's hard to imagine a map that is better suited to limit options and lead to predictable matches. On top of that, it looks so terribly, terribly dated. The low polygon rivers of cooled lava make my eyes bleed. The map looks 10 years old, and no amount of 2D animations of smoke and lava can make up for it.

When I get skirmish on Terra Therma, I just feel like taking a 15 minute bio break.

[Tordin]

got terra around 3 times today. i believe energymetaheads want to adapt to the heat instead of avoiding heat maps. well maybe except tourmaline desert which is nearly as hot that gets upvoted surprisingly often.

[Karl Marlow]

In an organized group the best map to conquest on is terra therma.
