This is not classic Terror Therma.
The Donut in the middle is completly different. The dynamics within the match are completly different from real Classic Terra Therma.

That's why I called it Terra Therma Classic New.

should have been skirmish i can't even use my whole drop deck.

Domination timer needs to be longer on drop deck mode when there's a long walk to the circle.

Between most people having no coms, and the short countdown, every match I have had has finished by cap long before the better players are running out of mechs.

That's the problem I had today in the event queue on Terra Terma "classic".
At the same time, I could not choose the next mech from drop deck for disembarkation. The game did it for me randomly. And also. My disembarkation was delayed twice from dropship: I waited for the allotted time, the timer counted down to 0, but instead of disembarking, I saw the timer start the countdown again from 20-30 seconds.

I will clarify. The problem is not only that this is not a scirmish. The time of the match itself is too short for all the mechs from the drop deck to take part in the battle. I have played four times. Three of them ended with the actual match timer (not the domination timer). At the same time, I did not have time to use all my mechs in any of the battles - at the end of the match I always had one fresh mech.

P.S. PGI, the quality of the selection of teams in the event queue is lame on both legs, just like in all other modes.

[The Captain Dead]

I love the conquest game mode but there are really some who persist in taking mechs of assaults that go to 40 kph it is incredible, to think that some only play to lose in fact.

[Nyandere]

I'm a fan of the Urbie Derby but 3 in a row for a total of 24 hours straight is excessive.

The domination with dropdecks worked surprisingly well and was fun.

[Viltor]

There's so many invisible and bugged textures on top floor and holes on the roof have invisible borders that will block your shots.

[Steve Pryde]

Please skip Terra Terma Classic conquest. That's the most ******** map+gamemode combo I've ever seen in MWO. No wonder why the player count today is so low on a sunday(!).

[Buenaventura]

This event has (in my opinion) two main issues:

The timer (domination) and required ressources (conquest) don't really work for a drop deck match. In faction play this was adjusted, why not here?

The map is in an unfinished state. So many invisible walls eating shots, it's not funny. Sure, this is MWO we're speaking of, "invisble walls around who knows what" could be a trademark, but the amount of these around the central structure is way too much. And the upper floor part of the central structure is plain stupid for anything without at least one jump jet, because according to PGI, no mech can lift its foot about ankle height to step up a ledge of that height. If you feel the pressure to put some invisible walls into a map, put them there so it looks like a step but can be navigated as a ramp!

Make that three. 4 Urbi Drop Deck? So if you don´t own 4 Urbis you can´t play?

[w0qj]

4x Special Variants drop deck; I'm in Urbanmech heaven!!
Now, if only I can get my grubby hands on that 4th UM-R80(L)...

But seriously, you can buy "50% Off" Urbanmechs for CBills, skill tree level these up with this Event very quickly!

... Wait, so you're telling me I HAVE to buy an Urbanmech? Ugh...

Actually, I have to buy 3 if I want the rewards, because the only one of those stupid things I own is the one they gave me for loyalty or something...

And you know, I might have done it, at that - but I am not going to buy extra 'mech bays for a stupid Urbanmech.

[ArticArcher]

I also have to echo the concerns on needing multiple of the same mech to play. Unless I love that mech type I normally on have 1 and favor different mech types for variety. Sadly I do not have 4 urbies to use so I can not play in this event. I can not /could not wait for other combos since I have other life activities.

[Void Angel]

Urbanmechs are so cheap at half off that it's not even the buying them that's at issue; though I suppose the upgrade costs for many of the stock builds add to that considerably. But the 'mech bays seem a bit excessive as a requirement. Sure, it's just a fun event, and I can just go do quickplay (which I did.) But the event pulls people away from the normal queues, and I can't advance the rewards without being in the event queue.

So now that I've thought about it, I have to say that I actually kind of like the idea of an "Urbie Derby." I just don't want to have to buy 3 'mech bays for 'mechs I'm normally not tempted to own in order to participate.
