It isn't a joke. Players farming multipliers to force the majority into playing garbage are trolls, not people.

Lol. Cry a little louder buddy. Maybe someone will come and change your diaper.

[Mechrophilia]

the majority of people who vote for escort are doing so assuming it will be out-voted, Because they're trying to inflate their vote multiplier.

This mode should be removed because nearly EVERYBODY hates it.

I feel the same way about pee stain mode.... Domination sucks way worse than Escort ever could..

cause you can leg him? I'm not sure how much that actually slows him down considering how slow he already is.

Which makes you get ban time next match and makes the vip easier to kill for the other team... damn these people, not a good idea..

If you unironically think that a game mode, in which an AI mech advances out of cover, faces the entire enemy team, dies in moments, causing the match to be lost, is a good idea - you quite simply are mentally deficient.

Why should legging the VIP give you ban-time? I think he means legging the VIP as an attacker.

Oh, I don't know that everyone hates it. I'd be willing to bet it's no-one's favorite mode, but I've played some pretty enjoyable Escort matches. The one big thing that would improve it is if the VIP 'mech was one of the players instead of a bot and it had to actually cross the map instead of wander in circles.

Domination always plays out as Skirmish but limited to the area around the beacon. Having the beacon in a random location instead of the same one every time would improve it. Still and all, it's always funny when one team loses because they're all so busy maneuvering for position that none of them are in the circle.

This would be awesome. Make it a button someone has to press on the ready screen, and that individual's 'Mech is simply treated as a disconnect for that match.

It frustrates the hell out of me that the VIP 'Mech 1) walks like it's being piloted by a 2 year old, and 2) never returns fire. It's an Atlas. Who wouldn't put weapons on an Atlas? If we're not going to put any weapons on it, the thing should have about 40 additional tons of armor instead.

So you think that response was mature?

Anyone who states something you disagree with is crying?

Yeah, pretty clear who the adult is in this conversation. Doubt you'll get it though.

Well, the defenders do have to actually protect the VIP. Them deciding to do something else entirely is not the game mode's fault.

[Marius Evander]

Legging the VIP doesnt slow him down ive tested it

[Daveman]

well, I hate and love it, I hate it when i have to walk it and love it when i have to kill it, It's really one sided really, as the attacker just have to wait for the VIP to come out in the open and just kill it while the other team lose, escort mission so far i been on have 100% win rate for the attackers.

[Requiemking]

Honestly, the modes in general need help. Escort needs an overhaul and needs to be locked to Faction play along with Incursion(the concept of such defensive modes will always escape the tiny walnut brains of the average QP player), Assault and Domination need to be locked to QP, and Skirmish just needs to be removed outright.

[Variant1]

The mode isint crap its good, i vote for it the first chance i get and i also vote incursion which is another great mode. Most of the bugs have been patched and it enourages doing the objective. Defend the vip and adapt to the situations

[OP8]

I enjoy the mode, and will occasionally vote for it on purpose. On many of the maps, I think the pathing of the VIP is BS and unrealistic, and the defending team needs a ground overlay or waypoint list showing where the VIP will go; there's no reason a mech needing escort would keep it a complete secret from his allies. The VIP should also NEVER go straight through the open field in the center of most maps. I think the mode just needs some basic mechanics and forethought worked on.

The other part of why I enjoy it, is that it draws out all the one trick pony, snot nosed whiner babies that can't figure out how to do something other than their cookie cutter strat used elsewhere. I enjoy imagining their veins bulging out on the side of their little fairy heads while a match's outcome crumbles against their expectations. Either side can win escort just fine, if the players can improvise and react as a team, and understand what the mode expects of them. But therein lies a snag- there's always going to be a percentage of players that are unemployed virgins who demand success be handed to them at every turn or they'll cry and cry and cry. Part of the mode is ignoring those worthless trash players and succeeding without them. I enjoy the challenge, and the change of pace.

well calling people trolls for liking a game mode wasnt exactly mature either..... But you both need to chill to each their own as they say....

the ai going wherever is to give defending team a challenge, after all they are supose to defend the vip. So anyone that doesnt agree with your opinion is mentaly deficient? not cool bro

I keep asking who voted for this **** in all chat, but no one answers. Its universally understood as a source of shame or a mistake.

i vote for it, im not ashamed nor was it a mistake

[Commando522]

The mode is bad because the AI is bad.

There's nothing a team can do if the VIP just waltzes into the open and the enemy can just shoot it at their leisure.

You try playing River City or Grim Plexus with this mode and defend.

I guarantee the defenders will lose 90% of the time minimum.

People keep voting for it, so obviously is ok.

Who votes for it??

Last time I played it was thousands of years ago haha.

Nobody wants to play that mode or cover a mindless bot that just randomly and ultra slowly walks into the worst possible positions.

No sane person wants to just die for some random bot thats dumb too.

Worst mode in the existence of worst modes.
