You'd Think They Would Make Incursion Mode Higher Drop Rate Than Regular With The Event Happening?

So whats with the incursion mode not on a higher rotation?

this is one of the reason i haven't even bothered with this event. too many matches that aren't incursion, didn't even bother to play after so many people have complained in my unit that the number of incursion games is too low.

PGI lift your game, i've got new pilots where trying to encourage with the game that can't get the free mechbay as incursion isn't happening enough

Because almost every other time they added a feature like a map or mode, they did put it on a higher rotation and people whined about it. Don't blame PGI, blame the whiners.

so what we got is whingers who have everything thinking it not worth it and new people being flarked in the arse and bleeding for mechbays but they can't get it as the game mode just isn't happening enough and arseholes are voting against the mode.

And people wonder why i don't bother much anymore outside of comp play

Before the event, incursion showed up as an option every other match.
In about 5 hours of play during the event, I got 3 incursion losses. I get nothing from the event, and it's best for my stress level to just not log in until after the event is over.

Yet another well thought out and implemented event brought to you by the guys that don't even play their own game.

This not being my first rodeo here when it comes to events tied to map voting or some other specific outcome, I decided to play World of Warships this weekend. If anything, PGI are consistent.

I dont see it. I got incursion every 2nd or 3rd game last night. Got everything done in one sitting except killing an energy carrying mech. Im honestly thinking of grabbing an energy tank while in a heavy mech and slugging it out just so SOMEONE on the other team can get the bonus.

Low number of maps that is on (even though it is on HPG, Polar, and Crimson, 3 maps people vote for anyways, in droves) means that the whining about not seeing more maps would go through the roof. Which I can understand. Given they managed to get Incursion to work on HPG, I can't think of a map that Incursion can't work on.

Hope May brings Incursion on Terra Therma and Bog, and as incursion (and other modes) are made to work on more maps their rate of popping up increases, because that is the sensible way to do it.

^this.

Perhaps this quote will be remembered next time someone decides they want to complain about anything (like power draw, skill tree, information warfare). Where you complain someone else praises. Remember that next time.

But then there'd actually be a chance of getting the mech bay....

5 matches and you quit.

I have to bow down to your superior stamina and dedication.

i am getting the map like 1 in six drops and that is being kind. makes it very frustrating droping lights on all the other maps just because i want to get a fuel cell. not fun at all. seems like if pgi is going to make us be on a certain mode, make it more available.

I've played a couple dozen games over the last two days and not one incursion round. This is getting incredibly frustrating

9 out of 11 drops yesterday offered Incursion Mode.

Seems pretty high in the rotation to me

The "Delivery Failed" being a component of the meta achievement is terrible. It's the only one that requires a killing blow so that means you're maybe in position to get it 1/4 matches you que - if you are queing nothing but fast weapons boats that can ideally two-shot a light (although I did 100 direct fire damage and somehow didn't kill a Raven, GG). And if the other team is running something besides Locusts. Total luck.

The problem is some maps do not run incursion game mode on them, and because of that with our vote system it would prevent some people from playing maps they would want to.

Question, have you seen incursion on Canyon? Nope, thats why.

then you were very lucky, for me i got 1 incursion out of 8 drops all weekend +- 2 , and towards the end of the event when incursion was in the selection rotation about 50% of the time it was not voted for . thats the issue with a event that is based on the luck of the draw , in map and mode selection . not a event wrapped around the whole parts of the game , the events should have more generic goals or shared goal with each different game mode ETC
