I found it to make for exciting and strategic matches. Feels good man.

Has anyone actually won by conquest points yet? 17 games so far and all of them ended when one team was wiped out.


Edit: Specifically my team.

Edit: 18 now.

It sucks... why cap when you can kill?

Conquest feels exactly like Assault only with lower cbill rewards. Assault is the better game mode to farm with at the moment.

because capping is worth more cash. I was seeing roughly 30k difference in earnings from cap compared to kill victories. I think that difference should be greater but none-the-less, it is a difference.

[Lokust Davion]

I'm averaging 100k+ per game on Assault. We already have cap on Assault mode, why add more 'cap' modes? It's pointless.

I am finding it very frustrating because out of 5 or 6 drops in conquest mode I seem to be the ONLY one on my team that knows how to play it.

I seem to ALWAYS end up fighting 3 to 1 no matter what task I try to complete.

Go for a cap....three enemy respond.No friendlies to be seen
Try to defend ...three enemy come to cap the point I am on.No friendlies to be seen
Try and recon ...three or more enemy focus me.No friendlies to be seen
Try and support my team mates ...my team mates are busy counting lamp posts or something equally useless.

It's like the entire PUG population that gets on my team is made up of A.D.D. lab monkey rejects still stuck on AFK farm mode.

And before some smart arsed mouth pipes up with "you're bad" please explain how it is possible that at any given moment I am engaging three or more enemy mechs and the rest of my team that should have a numbers advantage still can't do anything useful? Nothing ! they do nothing but die to an under strengthed enemy. 5 v 7 they just die no killing no capping bearly any damage done (unless you count friendly fire) nothing!

I really feel for the skilled puggies in this game.I truely do.There is nothing a skilled player can do to turn the tide when the entirety of thier own team is worse than useless.

For now I'm going back to premades where I know the average IQ is over that of a potroast and my team actually does usefull things.

[Sug]

20 losses in a row. Then i have an idea

Sug: Stick together. Ignore the bases.

Teammate: What kind of plan is that??

Sug. I've lost 20 in a row. Everytime we had more bases and points but they wiped us out and won cause we were spread out.

Team: Interesting

Sug: The points accumulate too slowly to be a threat. Just kill the other team.


Long story short we won. 114 points to 480. 8 kills to 2.

HEY I like potroast

[HighTest]

As a premade-4, I think we ran about 12 conquests last night, and won 5 or 6 by resource cap. Lost 2 by mech elimination, lost 1 by resource cap and won 3 by mech elimination (although we were trying to push for caps, the enemy insisted on letting us destroy them).

By and large it seems to be in the ballpark 50%-50% to me, so far.

I think I can speak for everyone I played with that we really liked Conquest overall.

Really lame mode its basically just deathmatch. This was poorly executed and tested there is no encentive to go after resources with 1 life. It takes way to long people will always attack. You guys really need to get your act together, need to scrap this mode and create a real one
