I'm at 25 for a while, having a hard time to complete other game modes...

Worst is Conquest 8/25

Should always save your vote for conquest, it pays more. Only changing that myself to clear up a couple of the others. Gotta get a few Domi and Escort in, but also done with Skirmish.

This applies during normal times too, but for events like the current grab bag it is doubly true:

Order for optimal game-mode voting to maximize payout: Conquest > Domination > Assault > Skirmish. I'm not sure where Escort falls into things, but it's probably between Domination and Assault. Personally, though, I'd put it at the head of the list just because it's new and interesting and I haven't played it as much as the others.

And also learn not to vote at all if neither mode is one you're chasing if you have a multiplier built up. This event is the only reason I'm even voting domination for the first times ever.

I'm just sitting here with 25 unfinished invasion matches, questioning whether or not farming simulator 4.1 is really worth it..

Unlike some people, I enjoy even and competitive gameplay rather than one sided stomp fests. I don't care about the c bills if I didn't have to put anything in to get it.

Well I'm gonna play calvary mech decks for my 47 scouting/invasion games. Hopefully I don't get too many teams with atlases, king crabs and stalkers stuffed into them who wanna camp at the back and then are too slow to reposition. Unfortunately a lot of IS players don't seem to grasp that since the Clan players have a 240 ton limit, that they are bringing a lot more linebackers, ebons, hellbringers and mad dogs. And that the counter is things of equal speed.

Wait, people are actually bothering with the event enough to get annoyed by it?



Whenever events pop up, if the objectives aren't something that will happen normally in a match for me, I don't bother. I especially don't bother if it involves specific game modes. I get stressed enough already by the garbage IRL, I can't turn a game I play into a new source of it.

Those who QP only, is Conquest the hardest to complete?

[El Bandito]

Well good thing I do not play that much. Less stress about virtual goodies.

I have 25 on all but FP invasion

FP is so much of a nightmare it flipping unbelievable

one min you drop with a team and you have a super Mech the very next drop you fight some
team with there super Mechs

Skirmish is easy and requires zombie level brains aka you can play it while brain dead. Not to say to be good, you dont need brains.

But really Skirmish if you just want to press buttons and see pretty lasers and explosions, the mode requires only a functional motor cortex and maybe 1 or 2 brain cells.

Of cause your team will be super pissed off and raging, but who cares. Definitely not those people type discussed above.

Domination now completed, Conquest still lagging behind.

Historically speaking, cbills/hr is *much* higher in skirmish than anything else.

Average conquest match times mean that you earn less per hour because of the drawn out match.

Nobody wants to play conquest because it pays the least per time spent.

Actually, unless they nerfed it recently, it has the highest payout, and since most people just play it like Skirmish anyways... It (used to at least) had the highest C-Bills per hour.

Average match times state otherwise...my highest has been skirmish forever...

[Rhialto]

2 more Conquest and I'm done! Glad there are vote multipliers... it is just that Conquest don't show up all the time so I need to see it 3-4 times sometimes before I can get 3x or 4x and win the vote.

So? The event is nice and all but maybe you won't get the maximum number of grab bags.

You should go do scouting , the matches are really fast.

[Lukoi Banacek]

I had zero problem getting all QP modes done in like 2-3 days of consistent play.
