Why don't I get the game mode I selected?
You can now choose multiple game modes however this will not always gaurentee you get one of those modes. The selection is used in 2 ways, we first build groups of players who have similar preferences of game mode, region and ranking. The second step is to use everyone's preferences to perform a vote on which mode to play. We will be tuning how effectively this works over the coming days so you should see some improvement in how often you get your selected modes.

We would have all told you that this would be game breaking!

Oh yeah and BTW.

Where the heck was our CPM on this one?

How are you going to give us meaningful feedback before you even try the changes? Or is your brain so awesome that you can look into the future? And while we are on the subject of feedback, guys, a few one liners and a catch word here and there really doesn't help. If you really care about improving the game, then please structure your feedback in a way that will:

1. List specific issues and the circumstance when it happened. We then put these in a weekly report and discuss them with the dev team on ways to address this.

2. Provide insight on why you think this is happening, if you can. Translation, explain as best as you can on how to reproduce the error/bug you encountered.

The patch notes are there to let players know what changes are coming so they can plan their gameplay accordingly, not so that people can theory craft before hand on how things will work before they actually try it.

Dont worry they would have ignored you if you did.

Oh right I forgot we do not have awesome brains.

wait what? i won't go into my selected match i might go into a game type i didn't want to? is there any notice in the warbarge that is not what i wanted?

It should tell you in the battle finder before you deploy what type of match you will be going into and then you can hit circle to cancel deployment.

While I agree that at the very least we should be told what kinda of game mode we are going into, I do not agree with being forced into game modes that I hate.

Not only that but now you are getting complete cluster fcked matchmaking because everyone is just leaving games they do not want to play.

I can just Press the V key (KEYBOARD Users what else) to list or delist a mode in Battle Finder.

This is the first we've read about the details of the matchmaking system. We certainly would have spoken up if we'd been shown this in advance.

This is a game we play for our enjoyment.

CPM - Please have a discussion with the DEV team to remind them of this. I think they have lost sight somewhere along the way.

Remember war dialer you cannot give feed back on something before you try it. So why would they tell the CPM or us how it works before we have a chance to try it?

This is the first we've read about the details of the matchmaking system. We certainly would have spoken up if we'd been shown this in advance. Situations like this are exactly why we're trying to articulate the need for CCP to hurry up and standardize the use of the CPM as an early warning system for pending changes. Unfortunately in the meantime there's still a lot we aren't shown.

I guess after the overwhelming popularity of not getting to pick between Ambush and OMS they went ahead and decided to make game modes a completely random event......

Dont worry they would have ignored you politely informed you that you cant possibly know that if you did try and warn them.
