Random Mode might be the single worst idea Pix has ever implemented. First they introduce Beacon Rush, which requires a very different setup than Domination mode, focusing more on brawlers and knife fighters than the disco light show that Domination has become. Many, if not most players have a preference between the two and have customized their hangars toward that preference. Now they trot out Random mode, forcing those players into games they neither want to nor are well equipped to play. So what do you end up with? EVERY GAME is made up of some players who will probably suck at that mode, probably won't contribute much to the game, and probably couldn't even if they wanted to because of the makeup of their hangars. So basically anybody who doesn't want to play TDM is going to spend about half their playing time pissed off. Way to go, Pix, way to go.
And if they're doing this to encourage people spending more Au (and $$$) for multiple hangars, well they can stuff that, too. Never mind how hard it is to acquire 7500 Au, what about the time involved in leveling up a whole second hangar full of bots and weapons.
The. Worst. Idea. Ever.

Hi! I'm one of the players who hates the light show of domination and loves the brawling of beacon rush, by the way. I have a 2nd hangar that I don't use because I don't have the silver to make he weapons there a decent level.
Just to get it clear, I 「fluffernutter」ing hate domination. But....
In mixed, when you play domination you get a mix of players. Some will be BR lovers, some will be DOM lovers. So you're almost guaranteed to get some lousy 「bum-bum」 snipers but also some brawlers with a full hangar of ancilots and dB Griffin's. The variety in mixed is fantastic. You'll have 3/4 people on the enemy team to brawl with at all times, and you'll have a few you can exchange sniper fire with as well, if you like hiding at 1000m. Your choice. Yes, it sucks that'll you get Dom on Yamatau and get taken apart by 2 fury zeus sometimes, but you'll also get BR on dead city where you can blow the crap out of any fury zeus who thinks he can hide.
Just play. Some games will suck, some will be fantastic and you'll marvel in the variety. Personally, mixed isn't as good as BR because they'll still be an occasional 「smart person」 with a treb fury on dead city who drags the team down, but it all balances out.
For the love of God - DONT LEAVE if you get Dom on Yamatau/canyon etc. It screws your team before you've even started. Just slug it out and see what can happen with some ingenious flanking or teamwork.

Random mode is a ploy to get players to buy secondary hangars.

I agree that random is pix trying to get players to spend money.

I agree Random is mostly about money. Also, I haven't played Yama at all for at least 6 months. Sorry if that pisses you off. I always leave as soon as the map appears during the countdown, so my leaving shouldn't affect anything because the game should replace me 95% of the time.

I hate Yam in Domination mode always, and in BR when my team doesn't grab the center beacon first. Very rarely is it capturable after the first wave. But I play through it anyway, because occasionally I'll find a good spot where I can deal a ton of damage, assuming the reds aren't mostly made up of a disco light show. If you can't win, at least rack up damage to minimize the loss. |

I've stopped completely and sometimes play 1s a day because team Death Match time is SOOOOOOOO long and I cannot compete because I don't want to get a second hanger (no weapons either)

I feel that random mode has really cheesed off a lot of players. A lot of them arent even trying any more. Teamwork is less evident as well. The worst part is its gotten forum members to use the term "DOM lovers" in a totally inapropriate context.  |

Is it my imagination or do we get more Dom compared to BR in RM? Interestingly i get SF, Valley and Yama a hell of a lot. SF sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of frequency. Havent been picking and choosing maps for a very long time but i am on the verge of ejecting (when soloing) from SF as playing 30-40% of my time on that map is not OK.

It took long enough but I finally received an answer to when Random will be turned off...
So just as expected no definitive answer. ?

Did you make a Poll if everyone in the forum wants to end random mode? Since you're speaking in everyone's name. Just wondering.

I see more Dreadnought, Dead City and Power Plant on some days and then Yama, Canyon and Springfield on others. Today it was Dead City, Shenzhen and Valley. It gets boring rather quickly. ? |

Where do you see anywhere that I'm speaking for anyone else besides myself? I'm going by what I see. Games suck because half the people in them don't seem to want to be there. Either hangars are diluted because you have to be prepared for both Dom and BR, or they're geared toward one mode or the other. Mine is set up for BR, and I do noticeably worse in Dom matches. I don't need to speak for anyone else to be able to see that and the impact it's had on games. But look around the forum and see for yourself, you don't have to be Kreskin to see that the general sentiment is that random mode sucks. |

What Danny Linguini said suits me as an answer to your question just fine. I hate being forced to participate in a mode I do not like or enjoy. And no I did not but if you like you may do so. How much do you want to bet that a majority anywhere would rather get to choose the mode they most like instead? |

But maybe, just maybe there's others who likes it being Random or something. You just cannot speak for the whole forum and especially whining about stuff( which they put their time on and coded themselves) NOBODY LIKES CAPS when you talking to them. Be nice not demanding, they own you nothing though . |

EternalRaymondSo you're not "everyone"? Well aren't you special? I was speaking for metaphorical "everyone" in these forums who do want to know when that sh*tshow ends. And the caps are for EMPHASIS since I don't know how to use italics and bold font on the Help page. Here's me actually expressing my feelings properly according to your terms(while maintaining forum etiquette). BITE ME!
