Or at the least give everyone a VOTE on VIP MERCY KILLING, where it can just skip the drop entirely and send you back to the mechlab..

Cause seriously it would save half the match's total time by just not dropping us at all.. The vip is so dumb and runs such a bad route.. Depending on how many gauss / ppc are on the attacking team the match can be shorter than [REDACTED]..

You could also make it interesting if the vote wins by droping the vip in the MURDERLATOR™.. complete with VIP MERCY KILLING FIREWORKS...

But yeah we all know its that bad and i've even seen the other team cracking jokes about it.. I wonder what the best ones everyone here has heard. But really i'm kind of amazed its gone on for how long without any real efferts to help show the VIP dae wae..

Problem isn't with VIP or with Escort mode. Problem is with players, who vote for this mode in a first place. If this mode wins voting - then it already tells a lot about players, you're going to play with. My principle in this case: "Did they want bad match? They'll get it!". May be next time they will think twice before voting for this crap. As simple, as that. But at some point I'll really start killing VIP myself, I swear.

.....I dont even try anymore. I rather enjoy the c-bill bonus that I get for moping up defenders.

I just watch it walk into the enemy fire line and eat popcorn enjoying the death of vip. Last time I out damaged the assaults in that mode and we won by sending every one except one mech to ecm cover the vip. I'd still rather go make a pot of coffee than play escort.

well if there was a voting option for none of the above, then most of the time these shenanigans happen would end.. cause its usually when people are just trying to throwaway a vote and get a multiplier that this happens. How many times have you started a match and heard "Sorry i was going for a big multiplier" followed by "yeah me too" and "yep what they said"

agreed, that one is on the naughty list too.. team that rushes faster to get across the valley wins there like 95% of the time cause theres like nowhere else the other team can go to get in the circle without being chewed alive..

i'm not a fan of plexuses design in the least overall.. If they orbially bombarded the map for a week and then tried rebuilding it by including more of the outside of it then perhaps it might start looking better.. but for now its really meh and boringas the fights are almost too mechanical in where they happen cause there is really a total lack of diversity for where stuff can happen..

I save up multiplier to force it. Usually takes until about times 7.

I love escort because it requires a higher level of tactical and situational awareness when playing. Decisions of concentrate fire power on the defender or concentrate fire on the VIP. Stay with the VIP and provide close support or break of and try and screen it. The only thing I would like is for the VIP's general path or direction to be plotted out on the mini map.

Lol what are you talking about. Winning on escort is decided in the dropship. If you're attacker, you win. Unless your team is a bunch of potatoes.

The vip walks down one of three paths. All three paths have superior and inferior positioning. All the attackers have to do is take up one of those superior positions, spot out which path the vip is taking and relocate of necessary to take up another superior position and WAIT. Because in 3 minutes, there's fish for dinner.

Escort mode is the most boring mode i've seen. And the most imbalanced. Tactical and situational awareness my hole.
