Okay, so Canyon and Terra Therma had long been my 2 favorite maps in MWO. Not gonna lie though, with the voting system added and everyone picking the same maps over and over again, I'm kinda starting to get sick of Canyon. Ever since the voting system added, my matches with Terra Therma had been drastically reduced, which kinda sucks.
Since there's an event right now and the rework released, my drive for wanting to play Therma went from Daishi to Commando in a span of 1.53 seconds. So far, I've only played the reworked once. Just once and I just came out of said match.

Can you pwetty pwease vote for Terra Therma every now and then, so pilots such as myself could have a chance of playing and participating? At least for the duration of the event?

i think we might be better off having 6 maps on the vote screen vs just 4. there is still a randomness element in that the 4 maps selected for voting may very well not be what you are looking for. ive had situations where i had the same 4 maps come up time and time again.

I think they should just remove the map voting entirely and just have game modes similar in the past. They could try it in the PTS or something

It's been voted like crazy since the start of the event. Unfortunately a lot of people hit the required 6 games on the map last night and I'm guessing votes on it will drop off dramatically.

While the event is still in effect, your best bet for a Mordor match is in the hour right after the daily event reset happens.

(Although your chances just took a nose dive, now that we're six days in and only six days' worth of matches are needed to finish that portion of the event.)

Yesterday evening was pretty bad for TT, I had only one match on the new map and failed to meet the 200 score requirements.
They could do the best map but lava = heat and heat and mechs does not mix :)

That would make it worse since HPG/Mining/Canyon would be available more and still get chosen almost exclusively over other options.

I've made it mandatory to vote for Terra Therma until the end of the event, but I'm not playing much until Grab Bags start. Sorry.

And, of course, I'll be playing even less now that I've finished the 6 days events.

terra has a higher chance of coming up in the voting screen and if youre really fast youll be the first one to pick terra and the rest wont be able to get the percentage down.

how about random map selection with a 50% chance of getting terra troughout the event?
when random map selection was still a thing it was always a surprise which map you'd be playing on next.
that would be a lot better and a lot of the players wouldnt be whinging about the other team for picking said map over some other one.
When polar is at 80% you know that they are bringing lrms and youre going to have a hard time looking for cover.

Anyway i want random map selection back.

Just remove that useless voting system. It was only implemented to appease whiny boaters that are unable to adapt their play on a map that doesn't fit their build.

WoT, no map voting,
WoWS, no map voting,
WT, no map voting,
AW, no map voting!

This morning I had Terra Therma about five times in a row.

I thought that you need 80 score?

"Play on the new Terra Therma Redux map a total of six times throughout the course of the Event - each time with a minimum Match Score of at least 80 - to receive a Halloween prize!"

Have you tried Gauss Rifles? They produce only negligible heat.

80, you only need a score of 80, you can pretty much potato this part of the event.

Eh what? That's not how percentages work, how fast you vote has nothing to do with winning the vote.

Best bet to get it is to simply only vote on a map when TT is up for vote (or when at 1x map vote). That way you always either increase your vote multiplier or get to play TT.

The more i don't vote, the more Terra Therma shows up.

When i do vote, it's only to increase my veto power against Terra Therma.

And now that i have the Terra Therma challenge completed, i'm back to sitting on x8 not caring to use it again until it gets reset on the next patch.

What I have learned in boating school is ... that pgi said they are going to adjust the map selection that youll have plenty of chances to vote for terra.
Did seriously noone notice that if the voting screen shows up the moment someone casts a vote that it is at 100% and a lot of players dont vote cause they dont care anymore so sometimes i get maps i didnt want to get because noone on the other end votes and I cant up my multiplier.
AND welcome to the game Billy.

Can't get into Terra Therma for the life of me today. Don't even need it, just trying to help the late comers out.

But we can sure as **** get Skirmish-Alpine Heights.

I'd be ok with the old voting system, where you could change your vote. That way, you could at least stack a 12x multiplier and play the rare maps once in a while. But with the current system voting should just go and it should be random like it was before.

Same for game modes by the way. I know everyone has a favorite, I like conquest mare than the other modes but I play all. But playing skirmish for half of the games a day is pretty boring.
