I only vote to prevent caustic and mordor from winning.

[Eboli]

I don't care what map and mode gets chosen. Sometimes I vote, other times I don't.

I do like Alpine Conquest but that map is rare.

Cheers

I farm my multiplier until I think I can push Bog. Then I vote for Bog and we get Bog and I'm satisfied.

[Mawai]

I just vote for the map and game mode I feel like playing with the mech I am running. More often than not, I get what I want and when I don't the multiplier goes up

I just avoid the bait and switch voting tactics since it really doesn't matter that much to me. I have preferences but I don't specifically hate any maps or game modes.

I had a match on Terra Therma (skirmish) yesterday where 100% of the fighting took place OUTSIDE of the volcano.
It was a really good match! It is actually a great map if you remove the center volcano, but alas, the PGI map method is to have a dominant central feature to fight around...

I have always considered Terra Therma a great conquest map. TT mainly sucks because most of time it plays by seeing who fills the center first. Conquest gets rid of that unless the players decide to play it that way.

As far as maps I pretty much only vote for Tourmaline. The only time I care about modes is if FC and conquest are about to be paired. Tired of the Talladega style race.

[Zoid]

I just load up on vote multipliers and burn them if it looks like Terra Therma might win. Screw that map.

they really need to not allow people to change their vote

Hmmm, is this the most compelling reason to begin voting again ?

So i can just click madly all over it and be a pest

I really would like to know one thing:


What happens if not one player votes?

Does MWO collaps? Will there be a blackhole? Will the lobby be restored again? Can somebody answer this?

I often vote Terra Therma when I am farming my vote multiplier. I for one enjoy our new pre-match minigame

I vote it and wait until there are people fighting over River City and Crimson Strait to unleash my power and poof, Terra Therma, let the whining begin as the laser vomit people have to work some serious heat management, hahahaha.... hahahaha...... muhahahahahahaha...

But seriously, I also enjoy the new mini-game but am really tired of only playing Skirmish on River City, Crimson Strait, or Alpine Peaks.

it's not a game
simply click on a map and mode you like and be done with it. Dont' understand all the "anguish" and indignant attitudes form some regarding the map vote.

If you vote for what you want out of the choices everytime, you won't get say, TT ever or conquest ever. So you need to farm. Or you don't care so you make a game of it.

"Becaus people "exploit" the process"
Really? Building a multiplier that allows you to have more weight in selecting a map
every 5-6 games
is hardly an "exploit"

It's not an exploit to build your multiplier to choose a map, but it is to vote against a map as that is not what was intended or how they wanted it to work. Like many things in this game, easy to exploit. Also if I want conquest, I can only vote for conquest due to all the switching or I waste my multiplier on assault. So how often do we get to vote for conquest? I'll say 1/3 so to get a 6x you need to play 18 ish matches.

"Because people "troll" and purposefully choose "bad" maps"
Got news for ya, plenty of people like maps you might not, it's not trolling

Or, as stated by people in this thread, they are trolling. Even if a player in that match wanted that "bad map" it doesn't change the intent of the 'troll'.

Sandpit, on 28 December 2015 - 05:31 PM, said:

"Because it doesn't matter"
Uhm, ok but it does. I've tested all the popular myths regarding it.
It registers votes all thew way up to 0
If a map ties the map that had the most votes first wins

It really doesn't matter. If I want to play conquest or TT, it happens just as frequently with or without my vote due to others of similar likes, or the earlier mentioned 'trolls'.

That's all there is to it. Can we stop making a big deal out of a silly function that has no real bearing on anything in the game?

You think map voting has no real bearing on anything in the game? The map and mode are the game along with the pew pew. I'd agree that the game could be considered so lacking in depth that map and mode differences are silly and pointless, if that's what you're saying.

Also do you think PGI is going to create new maps or modes knowing that it just means the least picked are going to be chosen even less, and/or whatever they make will possibly never get played? That has a really big bearing on the game.

A lot of people think the game is too repetitive and are turned off by it. This just intensifies that, causes people to leave. Less players has a real bearing on everything in the game.

I personally like whatever I get, and players who like this game for what it is won't care much either. I just don't think they should make changes that add nothing to those who are going to stick around no matter what and takes away from potential new blood sticking around.

Two weeks?! I stopped voting after 2 days. If at all, I only vote to push my multiplier....

Why push your multiplier when you don't vote for real anyway?

I like to vote, i like living in democracy, i like for my decision to have any meaning in the world, i like all people to be happy, no wars, no poverty and suffering, and all be like brothers and sisters and my dream ends.

If everyone were like brothers and sisters things would get awkward pretty quickly.

I like collecting 12 votes, it's a fun minigame.

[Not A Real RAbbi]

Democracy sucks. The ILLUSION of choice...

I don't care about map selection at all, but for the love of F**K, let me opt out of f**king Conquest. That's ALL I want for Christmas, Santa...

[Almond Brown]

I always laugh about this. Players constantly "whine" about new game modes and yet if everyone picked Alpine Skirmish all the time, a new mode would be created and we could call it "King of the Hill" but no.... Alpine Skirmish sucks, thus any new "King of the Hill" mode would by default, 3 days in, also "suck". LOL!

This place is funny.
