For starters, how about not incentivizing camping in beacon circles? |

Beat me to it by 3 minutes. Came here just to post the good news! KOTH is off the menu. Unfortunately they claim “it needs improvements”. Hope they don’t try too hard. Just kill the f er
However. If it were to come back they need to randomize and change the beacon locations. As soon as the beacons lit at first drop you knew 99% if you were going to win or lose if 2nd beacon was on your side of the map

And just to add a little fun, undergo slow exposure damage as long as you remain within the active and next beacon boundaries. This could reduce some of the camping.

I liked KOTH cos most of the field were clueless and I did quite well on it ...
Maybe to change it up reward for ordinary capture (white cap) - double reward for recapture (red to white - white to blue) no timer ... makes camping pointless
I would have dropped TDM first ...

Suggestions anyone? All 5 beacons should be spread across the equator between both spawn points, and do not telegraph which beacon is next. Randomize beacons
Or just kill the ?illegitimate child? off and never look back

Well, I may actually click random now.
Wow... truly didn't expect this.
C'mon Pixo, you wait till I don't have an ounce of optimism then you do something like this...
Paradigm shift again? One can hope.
IMO, YMMV

Maybe I'll run one hangar of nothing bu stealth bots, one hangar of flying/jumping bots, and one hangar of dash bots? hahah... who knows... maybe just take a closer look at which builds work best with which maps and go from there. |

Spend forever building a fast hanger and now it's all slugfest. ... boring! This is becoming a game for little kids who feel tough in big bots... wow look at this new weapon I got! !! I'll never be able to upgrade it though. .. but that's OK I'm not really here to play...

I am so bummed... I pretty much just played KOTH and Skirmish once the modes were separated.
It took a little longer to get into a KOTH game, but it was a good game for fast bots.

Odd they kept TDM and took out KotH. Pretty sure KotH was more populair than TDM.
Makes one wonder why they decided to do this.

I took a lot of -22 trophies while dishing out the most damage on my team, or nearly.
They both suck...which sucks worse, probably KOTH because of the way the game is scored.
"Beacon circle points"....what a joke that was.

Yeah, I feel for those who liked it... but I truly don't think it was more popular than TDM.
I know it made me stop playing while it was forced upon me in Random. And now that it's separate they have had an opportunity to see what is played the most... and the least. I would not be surprised at all if it was an abysmal participation rate for that mode.
Like many have said... If they change the scoring it may do better. Like actually reward beacon capping/point absorption (as far as Ag is concerned) as well as damage. Also, speaking of damage, if I choose to defend either the cappers or the beacon itself instead of capping, and do great damage, why the hell should I get -22 if we lose? I'm not talking about sitting in a Treb bot and camping... but actually escorting and defending the guys/gals doing the beacon work. A lot of games I was what allowed us to keep the beacon and if we lost, even a close loss, I get dead last... behind the peeps just sitting on the home and side beacon the whole time, not even trying to help secure the win. It was just nonsensical.
That and changing up the beacon locations and randomizing the pattern that they appear in so that it actually provides compelling game-play would help a lot.
IMO, YMMV

Most people hate KOTH and all the polls in the past showed it. Judging by how often I got a KotH match versus a TDM match when pressing Random Mode, I filled up the queue for KotH more often than for TDM. I’d place a bet on me being right, if Pixonic will ever release the numbers from the period until October 1st. (Crucial exclusion would be October 1st itself, because the TDM Elemental Warfare Skirmish [conveniently releases on October 1st] would rig those numbers big time.) |

Maybe you IOS people are all different and people there like KOTH  It was the only mode I skipped most the time and I know many others were the same. Some modes I don't like but KOTH I hate. Getting -22 for trying to cap center and win while the tard with the + points at the end did no damage and never left the home two beacons. Anyone who liked this mode solo is nuts in my book. |

I’m not saying people in general liked KotH (even though I did) just saying that when having the choice between KotH and TDM, I’m expecting players to like KotH more than the snoozefest TDM is. And like I said, during the two weeks or so the modes got separated and all of them were selectable, pressing the Random Mode button would place me on the KotH queue more often than on the TDM queue. (Think I got KotH like 6 times or so and TDM only once.) |
