well, the best fights are in conquest. unless you like the deathblob in every single game, of course.

By the way, people are so focused on the map voting that no one looks at the mode vote most of the time.

I play the minigame with a 12/12 multiplier and with the map vote you can really have some fun. Mode vote? mostly waste of time as no one cares.



But to answer your question, I miss those times too. where you only had one choice - pressing "play" and let the game decide.

Since i am forced to play conquest i am fine with it...at least it feels a bit different and offers some interesting matches. More than skirmish\skirmish with base. But thats just personal preference i guess. I dont miss playing skirmish all the time. But they could skip gamemode-voting and let it be random. Mapvote is fine for me.

Also conquest would be much more enjoyable if people wouldnt play it like skirmish, but thats again....personal preference

[MechWarrior4023212]

That is why we have vote multiplier....use it wisely.

[Bishop Steiner]

Nope

But then I like tactical challenges, not team death ball every match.

[LordNothing]

frankly i like the vote system that replaced it better.

[CJ Daxion]

I love it.... Everyone is forced to play conquest.. Yet my stats tell me conquest is is about 4-1 yet, i hardly ever see people that like conquest making posts how much skirmish sucks...


But yes.. i would love to pick my game mode, and go back to playing conquest all night with people that enjoy it,,


and then i could skip skirmish for months at a time like i used to.. where everyone goes to the same point on the map every match.. then complain about having to climb the hill on alpine, or how much the pug zapper sucks, or why are we standing on the C3 ramp in canyon.. or trying camping the ramps on mining.. ext...

.

To me if you are doing this, you are so playing the mini game wrong.. In the time it took you to get to 12/12.. i must have played 4-6 matches i wanted to play... on maps/modes or both

I just want to play, i dont even care which map and mode. I just don't want to play always the same map and that is what can now. and you stay at 12 if you don't vote

[Wolfways]

I prefer Conquest > Assault > Skirmish (I never vote for Skirmish).

Unfortunately I seem to play with people (pugs) who mostly like Skirmish, followed by Assault, and Conquest coming in last.

I'd also like to see Polar and Alpine more than once every couple of hours.

[Mead]

Yeah, I miss laughing at people who voluntarily picked game modes they hated. And when skirmish got added that was glorious, we could say "here's a tissue, go play skirmish instead".

All these moments lost in time, like tears in lrm rain.

I am tired of seeing so much conquest.

Then, you get assault, and FINALLY, a change of pace...right??

WRONG!

Then some jackwagons decide to cap rush because "we hate this map", or, "we wanted a different mode".

I miss the days of just running skirmish. I play this game to shoot stompy robots...not to get base rushed or play conquest. Surely the population is big enough now we can bring it back without issue....right?

1. Its the map objective...sorry? Not really...

2. No, haha...I'd rather get whatever mode than wait 10+ minutes for matchmaker. Besides, if we go back to that everyone will just cry about wait times again.

[GreyNovember]

I don't get it.

You're displeased that people can choose to fight your team's strength, but theirs?

Since you 'know' they are all going for the base.....just wait for them there and melt them. Problem solved.

Except when the problem is YOUR team capping the enemy base. TKing like that can get you banned.

Yes, i regard early capping in assault to be trolling your team. Lots of people play solo queue to level mechs, and there is nothing more annoying than some cap monkeys wasting your x2 XP on a <200 dmg game.

I don't mind conquest actually, since it doesnt have the same issue of being ended super early - it takes time to get 750 points (though i think it should be increased to 1000 at least), so there is time to get actual combat in.

I really hate conquest as well!!!! I dont run my Stalker because of it.

[Wildstreak]

I hardly ever see Conquest.
Once you get the multipliers up to x12 map and x6+ for mode, you just mess with the vote and push people outta choices you do not want without losing your bonuses until patch day comes around. How much I tease people thinking they will play Conquest that has a 53% vote only to pull mine at the last second.

We do, but that is boring as hell to be honest...

Hang on a minute. You want to just shoot Stompy Robots BUT if you have to wait 2 minutes for the Shooty Furball to come to you, that is not good enough either?

Your just Trolling now dude... be ashamed..

[J0anna]

I'm not a fan of it, and kind of resent having it shoved down our throats by PGI. That being said, I would probably like it a bit more if we could vote for three different game modes rather than two. Especially with PGI adding two new game modes this year.

Finally people need to be careful what what they ask for, asking PGI to provide greater incentive to cap in conquest or assault (i.e. rewards) really sounds to them as "nerf rewards for killing mechs in conquest or assault". Remember Russ himself has stated on more than one occasion (listen to older town halls) that PGI believes reward (cbill) levels are completely fine in this game. So if anyone expects PGI to increase rewards you are just fooling yourself, it will NEVER happen without nerfing something else.

Then, when playing assault, cap warriors tell you to go play skirmish...except you cannot force skirmish.

If the majority of players wanted to play Skirmish, then you would be playing Skirmish.

[S13gtastic]

I like the game modes since...well they are all pretty much the same. Skirmish is just assault but no base, conquest is just more bases to cap with mech on mech action. It's all the same to me.

Put away the rose tented glasses it really wasn't better back then.

[KahnWongFuChung]

OP I personally don't like the vote system the old system was ok but I would prefer a random selected map and game mode every battle then PGI can show there cool map screen just before launch.

But the worst thing about the MM and MWO is it has only 3 game modes after 3+ years its boring as hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll playing the same 3 game modes we have.

[Bud Crue]

OP,

Not sure what game you are playing, but I have been working on my lights of late and the only way I can seem to get a conquest match is if I get my vote modifier up to x10 or better. That might take a dozen matches. Otherwise its all skirmish, all the time. Heck even an assault match seems like a godsend sometimes.
