So now you don't even get the option for domination. You get a random mode of dom/BR
Now I know why I left a year ago.
It was fun yall

Yeah man, that's not so fun. I was playing Domination solely for an enjoyable tactical gameplay, with occasional BR matches for beacon tasks and easy silver. I don't have that choice anymore. TDM is still not much fun. I have my eyes on King of the hill mode, which could be better.

I agree with you, and prefer to choose my mode of play. I did stop playing Dom recently though, which is my preferred mode, because all of the range guys play Dom, and I hated always getting 5 Treb Butches as teammates in solo play. Combining BR with Dom again might better mix that pot of solo teammates. I dunno though.

I haven't played since the update hit. I was hoping for three modes, but alas, that wasn't to be. Man, that sucks. I like to choose which mode I'm going to play depending on my mood, not have MM do it for me. Some modes are better for Event tasks, so this little mix and match thing will really mess up the goals and targets for those seeking specific tasks. You'll see a lot of teammates eject from the mode they don't want to play.

Havent played in a week or so. My addiction to the game has been broken. No longer have the desire for daily tasks.... I got the update notification then logged into the game, looked around a bit.
I have a task to that is at 17/18 beacons - did not have any desire to complete.....

why is it so difficult to give players the choice? how about letting players choose by including/excluding modes they want? if they don't mind either BR or Dom as long as the waiting time is short (like me), let them includes two modes (by marking checkboxes), exclude TDM, and hit the "Battle" button.
I think this may also slightly help with the player pool because, if there are more people like me (don't mind BR or Dom), the MM can put them into whatever mode waiting short of a player. about TDM, I hope all those super artificial looking covers are something temporary.

I would best relate Domination to CTF (Quake, Unreal), and I would best relate Beacon Rush to Conquest (BF1942).
The thing is, Unreal and Quake are entirely different games from Battlefront 1942 or even Star Wars Battlefront.
The whole premise of a Conquest mode is a on-going battle, that you can join in at any point (provided there is room)
Now with deathmatch, I really only see the highest level players even joining, because anybody handicapped will hurt the team.
Say it ain't so, but Walking War Robots is dead

Not this again  Is there any sort of countdown timer on TDM, so we can tell when it might end? I hate Hate HATE TDM, and like BR only slightly more. Being forced into the random Dom or BR pool royally sucks. |

Today the timing was good but nosilver booster. Yesterday got a booster but the timing was bad. Sooooo close Pix. I’d settle for match play being fixed but seriously who am I kidding there? |

How hard would it be to have 4 options: 3 modes or Random? Why restrict it to 2 buttons?

Every time you divide the player base, you have fewer available to quickly make matches. No one played TDM last time. Why is it back? Did they make changes to it? Or is it the same dumb sniper/hydra party it was before? |

So you can buy a 7500 extra slot so you're ready for any type of match ? Pigsonic thinks about your money!.

Further prove that their "learn from mistake" is pure joke.
It's already known that compulsory Random mode is not welcomed by players.
If they are so fond of the 'random' idea, or have problem with timely MM,
they can have 4 buttons: Domin, BR, TDM and random (all 3).
But, but,
It would be an understandable change if they want to earn more from additional hanger though.
And if this is reli the case, then "firetruck" you Pix.

I don't mind the random that much. My hangars are divided into small map type and large map type. Most of my bots are fast and hit hard so I can play either Dom or BR. My only gripe is that sometimes, I miss the word Domination or Beacon Rush at the beginning of the game, or forget what mode I'm playing. LOL, like sometimes, in BR, I'll sacrifice my Rog to defend a beacon cause I know I can come back in my Bulg and waste some reds....no so with Domination!

It's another way to get money. As mentioned it favors those who can get the 7.5K Au and open another hanger. That way you have a BR Hanger and a DOM hanger. Oh, and you need 10 leveled builds too  |

Personally I'm glad TDM is back. It's much faster for kill tasks. Not as thrilled about BR and Dom being in the same queue.

I was so happy when Random went away and I could happily just play Dom again.
Apologies to anyone who gets me on their team in BR. I still fight to win but I only spawn at the Spawn point. This way I get to pretend it's Domination mode.
And those barriers I saw screenshots of? What the hell, looks like a paintball area! They should reskin in the game to have the weapons just splatter paint everywhere. ?

I also heard there was a significant nerf in your silver earnings. Can anyone confirm this? I have had my sliver earnings drop more than 50 per cent since the update. Previously, I could comfortably secure 5 to 600,000 with a top three victory, but only 200,000 plus now. Guess Pix is intent on making it that much more difficult to grind, and to further push players to pay or pay more. At the rate they are introducing so many new OP bots and weapons without any attempt at balance, I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to sunset the game. So yup, never paid and never will. |
