Raising hand.
  • Give the Towers some actual meaning (maybe a win condition, i.e.they produce resources and you win with 1000 resources)
  • spread the generators across the map
That could be fun as a CW gamemode.



I was just trying to think of a narrative for that... pods were dropped from orbit in a last ditch effort to preserve them. They contain exabytes worth of data pertaining to the helm memory core or clan genetic code, and you have to ferry copies of large chunks of the data from the pods to the safety of your firebase. Also you must defend your firebase from being destroyed by the enemy, without it you can't transmit the data back to orbit.

Interesting, however, it's still going to end up being Skirmish then a mad dash to do any kind of damage to the opposite base - 15 mins isn't going to work for this kind of game mode, especially if having to collect fuel cells (never been in the TT form so not sure where these came from) which only last for 2 mins - so go find one, fight - return - charge up the tower - then it's run out or your team is fried because the opposition had moved in force and wiped everyone else out. So, QP not really, FW it has possibilities but the limited power supply thing isn't going to work. Just my thoughts.

Plenty of things in TT that needed fuel and things that literally needed fuel cells. Not Mechs but still

If it had 1 base, it would be just another skirmish mode aswell. Atleast for QP. No respawns automatically makes everything they come up with Skirmish on the maps we currently have. 1 base, 2 bases, no base, no difference. The only thing that could change skirmish to an (atleast possibly) objective based gamemode on the current maps are respawns. No respawns, no objective based gameplay on the maps we got.

Why would people be under this impression?
Incursion is supposed to be "Assault" mode 2.0.

Under what circumstances would "Assault 2.0", a game with at least one base per team, (aka 2 bases) give the impression of a single base?

Respawns also provide Skirmish all the time with VERY rare exceptions. I have done FP so I know this to be true. Respawns changes nothing.
The 1 base argument has been provided for some time now.

Their is already an incentive to play the PTS. It's called improving the gamemode that you will see in the game in the future.

Is this a dropship loadout mode or do you just get one mech?

In PTS, sounds like QP only but if it ever hits Live, it will be in FP too though some posters seem to forget that.
All modes are in FP now so even though PTS is not tested under FP respawning, it will be there when it goes Live.

Alright then, keep on crying. It's up to you guys.


I asked you a question... "how is that working so far?"

Which you did not answer, because you would have to straight up lie to be obstinate, or you would have to agree with me. It isn't. Then you lumped three of us together and accused us of crying, cause it is easier than trying to defend your position. So,it appears, any one who does not hold your opinion is "crying". You are right, it is up to people to realize that offering feedback is a bonus, but they have not, so how do we change it? You've been great with nay saying but how about a constructive attempt at a solution? You are attempting to bully people with your opinion because, why exactly? PGI as asked its players to leave feed back, and when they do, you are here to tell them that they're wrong. Nice, supportive, good leadership. Who is really wasting the community's time here? The people who leave feed back or the people who say that their feedback is wrong?

I have been playing just for one month or so... Is it bad to ask for new maps instead? You guys don't have an urban setting w/ high rise buildings/skyscrapers yet. Weird not having one since this game is such a futuristic lore.

It is still a bad idea to test something on the PTS server when an event is running.

Fr - wait for games - 2x no game found - wait 30 min and 25 min - break and go play the event
Sa - morning - wait 40 min. - break and go play the event
Sa - Night - wait 1 Hour - break and go play the event
So - wait 30 min - break and go play the event

Sorry, next time integrated the PTS in the event or make special PTS EVENT.

hi peoples

Smaller maps, there would be no point in getting fuel cells,
just destroy the enemy, it's just another skirmish mode.


Incursion...



no

• Caustic Valley
• River City
• HPG Manifold
• Crimson Strait
• Frozen City



yes

• Forest Colony
• Grim Plexus
• Polar Highlands
• Tourmaline Desert





Asymmetrical version of Incursion,
because then there is a reason to fight and care about the base.

.. and this modus need ..

There were high rises back in open beta, they were all knocked down with excessive non-LOS lurming... ;)

So... basically escort with VIPs on both sides that do not move? Excellent! Last thing I want is things that get in the way of skirmish.

hows it it possible that some people find matches while others don't. I suggest getting together with others.

There is a more pro-active solution to the problem. It may be the case for some people it's not possible. As long as people are in there testing it, the rest of us should count on them that they are accurately assessing the problems. In the end we all will benefit.

Get a group together and do private lobby with it then, like we did today...Posted Image

or perhaps all of you that aren't getting matches could look for a common time you can all be on to get a match if you really must pug into it..
