by the time a light for our team got there in the circle the timer was 20 seconds.
there was no safe spots once we go there, they had all the defences ludicrous . the QA boys did not test this at all.

I will reiterate that domination needs to go back to 1: 30 on base clock and killing gens should add 30 seconds regardless of the current timer.

The domination spot really should be located randomly on the map anyway, and start points X distance away from the centre the same for both groups. that would make this mode more interesting.

it is ridiculous, pls take a look at it PGI.

Saw this horrible spawn position last night. I couldn't believe how close the defenders are to the dom point. PGI really needs to address this map spawn

It isnt our job to fix the game. If they want to pay people on the forum to be map/game designers than ok otherwise [Have Fun] with that.

Also the other threads OP doesnt even mention that its physically impossible for one team to get into the Dom zone before the other team has half capped it.

Theres a lot of [Fun People] in this game but WOW!

[Lolo van Trollinger]

so whats the news here ? why the harsh language ? life`s hard, deal with it.

rather bring some constructive change to it. I would not see a good none-lopsided point, except somewhere in the old i12 area opposite to king of the hill hill vs king of the hill hill.

Domination needs to be changed. I could see a game mode where you need to control a center point and destroy the enemy objectives "gens". Forget about a timer...... Make it such that the match is over when you have controlled the "circle" i.e. kept the entire enemy team out of it and destroyed the enemies gens.

Thus the battle would take place on multiple fronts. I would tie cbills to objective completion thus encouraging team play. Hence if you death ball... lights could slip past and destroy your gens (no cbill bonus). If everyone is "married to a timer" have the timer reflect cbill payouts. I.E. The longer you control the center the greater the payout. Hence fight over center is important as well. Match is over when all enemies are destroyed or both enemy gens destroyed and center is controlled. Make it such that the cbill multiplier only pays out for holding the center if you protect your "gens". I.E if a group of enemy slip past you and destroy your gens you don't get any cbill multiplier. If enemy destroys one of your gens you get 1/2 the cbill multiplier.

Incentivize "splitting up" while working as a team (Maybe make lance in formation worthwhile). Oh and make the cbills rain. Instantly it would be the most popular mode. It would pay more and require greater strategy.

But what about farming by crippling a mech and running up the timer. Simple solution just implement eject in quick play. Now the enemy has the option to end it at any time. Now those lone survivors could have a secondary objective of denying the enemy a large payout by destroying gens.

Absolutely lousy map design. Domination point sucks for one team making it an easy win for the other. Just how hard is it to move the point and Gens? How long will PGI allow this to go on pissing off its player base?

[Rogue Jedi]

these problems do exist on Grim, Alpine and maybe 1-2 other maps, but the majority of maps have pretty well balances domination points offering cover to both sides.

mentioning which map specificly you are having trouble with would be much better feedback than just saying problems exist.

[Pyed]

Put dom point on Alpine in the wide open with zero cover and make it a game of chicken.

Would have interesting dynamics with fast lights rushing in to sneak a few seconds here and there while main forces rotate around the spot in cover trying to wipe each other while still watching center.

Hey maybe it wouldn't be so great after all but worth a shot and would be fairer than what we have now.

From April changelog:
"Alpine Peaks Domination Beacon Relocation
Our initial adjustment to the Domination Game Mode for Alpine back in December didn't quite hit the mark. In this patch we are making further terrain adjustments for line of sight to the Beacon, along with a change to the Beacon location to improve balance between Team spawns."
