KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 12335	Posted - 2015.04.28 18:56:00 - [1] - Quote Skirmish was copy/pasted and tweaked to become Domination. Domination is essentially the same as Skirmish, but with only one point, and no objective-spawning. Acquisition so far is fun, but also just tweaked SUPERIOR version of Domination. Like Domination, it has only one point that you can't spawn on, but instead of stagnating into boring one-sided kill farming, it actually remains dynamic. Skirmish and Acquisition are different enough compared to each other, but Domination is like some pointless vestigial transition phase that is now obsolete. All it does is divide the playerbase even further. I think Domination should be removed from the public battle listings. Some of you may be reticent to support this, as it appears like I'm suggesting removing content from the game, but keep in mind that Domination is just an inferior version of content we already have (Acquisition). While I hate it, I would not mind if it was used in something else like Planetary Conquest, or Faction Warfare, or do something else with it. I heard some suggested putting Domination and Skirmish in the same queue, and I DO NOT support this because I don't want my Skirmish experience ruined with Domination.

Having one farmable home spawn, no real indicator of when you're going to win or lose, and objectives in the redline are all issues that need addressing. Again though, I don't believe in removing content just because CCP fails to build and retain their player base. We shouldn't be punished for CCPs failings. *"My bitter is showing.

With every major update there are issues, and they eventually get fixed. Secondly, whose to blame for the playerbase is irrelevant -- just a reality that has to be acknowledged and designed around. For reasons I explained in the OP, I wouldn't consider the removal or moving of Domination elsewhere a loss of content (we shouldn't be fighting to keep bad "content" anyway).

Avallo Kantor 630	Posted - 2015.04.28 19:34:00 - [15] - Quote I think instead it would be a good time to cherry pick a few domination maps out of the full selection, and shuffle them into Skirmish. (Since Dom is just 1 point Skirmish) Then, give these 1 point skirmish maps a larger chance of appearing in low-skill brackets. (And never appearing in FW) Since, as Rattati has previously suggested, the idea of having simpler (less objectives / variable) maps for newer players is desirable. This way players can still have single point maps mixed into the rotation, giving a larger perceived map pool for Skirmish Game modes, while not overly splitting the community.

Conservatively I'd estimate that I experience matches where both sides keep pushing for the point in domination 10% of the time. Two scenarios usually happen: 1) Team races to the point and captures the objective. The other team shows up and pushes them off the point. Sniping and other forms of camping ensue. 2) Team races to the point and captures the objective. The other team starts sniping and camping from afar and aside from a few heroes, nobody even considers the lone objective a factor. Thor's Emporium
Void Echo Helix Order 2772	Posted - 2015.04.28 20:02:00 - [20] - Quote They should categories each map into which ever game mode best fits it. Example: Ambush maps- small maps where alot of killing goes on, not spread out and just the right size to keep people running and shooting. Skirmish- the medium to large maps for more spread out playstyle and daptable to the objective positions with the possibility of big engagements for each objective. Domination- large maps for each team to set up their strategies and go all out for the objective which will lead to multiple fight all across the map for strategic areas near the objective. Acquisition- I haven't played this new game mode but when I do later today, I'll post about it too. All of this would help with the game modes in that you have maps with outrageously large areas when there's only 1-3 objectives that match. And BTW, CCP, DO NOT PUT SKIRMISH INTO FW, I love skirmish and don't want it to be ruined by waiting up to a full hour for a single skirmish match,if anything you should put dominant into fw.

I haven't played in a couple weeks, but I used to play Dom 90% of the time. I would estimate 50% or better to be decent matches, 30% redlines, and 20% hard fought. I push regardless how much isk I lose. 1 guy can make a huge difference in Dom. Drop some links and defend them, then watch how many snipers come out of the redline.

Skirmish is generally very boring, unless two or more squads of reds are trying to take the objective your squad is on, and then it has essentially become domination.

Your reasoning boils down to the new game mode making the current Domination redundant and therefore rather than make the move of the Skirmish Gamemode solely to FW, which admittedly no one wants, you would rather see the redundant game mode implanted in FW.

Factional Warfare should represent the step between Public Contracts and Planetary Conquest with competitive game-play requiring co-ordination, communication, and tactical acumen. Domination at its core is a "Mob and Charge" game mode with very little tactical requirements other than to place as much equipment on the point as possible and to congregate around said point to defend it. Combatants in this mode often - End up being stomped off the objective by Prototype Tier Players who then are able to reinforce their position - End up sniping from the Redline and contributing nothing to the team of the match other than the preservation of their content - End up running onto the aforementioned Prototype Players guns to die Also worth noting - The value of vehicles on specific maps designed for Domination is sporadic at best as many Domination Objectives are close off to vehicles, additionally beyond rushing the point's higher levels and entry ways vehicles have little enough value or presence on the field. - Domination directs all players are a central objective which degenerates from a tactical battle into twitch based chaos.

Domination would not be redundant in FW. FW only has a single battle type option, so therefore it cannot be redundant with anything. I don't see how something being a personal subjective opinion in anyway discredit it from warranting consideration, or more of a response beyond 4 words. Gaming is about personal enjoyment, and therefore inherently about subjectives. I personally would prefer if Domination was just removed to be honest. I stated that the battle type could be repurposed for some other mode for those who somehow actually enjoy it. Not wanting Domination as the FW mode for your listed reasons is a fair point, but I found your earlier dismissive tone rude, and you know I would not respond to one of your threads in such a way if I disagreed with you. Seems that you hate Domination as much as me, so can we agree that Domination should just be removed from public battles at least?

I do not feel Domination offers FW any of those things nor deserves to have a place as the exclusive game mode, which is a foolish idea anyway in my opinion, of FW. "MIN MAXING! MIN MAXING!

Reason I made it so abundantly clear in the previous post that the premise of your post was personal opinion was solely because I have respect for your ability to present a reasonable argument and recognised that I had nothing but personal opinion myself as opposition.

(I like skirmish more, I hope it does not become FW only) I would support combining the que for domination and acquisition without removing game modes. Maybe offer a small SP and loyalty rank points incentive for quing for multiple game modes. (allows you to level up loyalty ranks quicker to start trading and get SP needed for better gear usually acquired through trading) I would also support combining the que for FW and skirmish pubs without removing pub skirmish game modes.

I dislike playing Domination as a solo player because you have practically no chance of taking the single objective which is sure to be well guarded, as opposed to in Skirmish where you, perhaps with a couple like-minded fellows, can sneak around to less well defended objectives, kill the few if any defenders, and grab it.

I fundamentally believe this is because of the necessary distribution of players across multiple objectives, as a result of this players have significantly more options when it comes to approaching sockets. Conflict is spread across three or more fronts with necessary focus over the entirety of the battlefield itself and the ability to move rapidly and redeploy to specific sections of the battlefield rather than attempting to dislodge a single mob of players from the objective with your mob of players. Domination Mode would be vastly more interesting and tactical if the central point were fortified and besieging it in a meaningful manner was the core focus of the game mode. If it comes down to anecdotal evidence bro I'll cite literally evry, yes "evry", Domination match I've ever been in because statements like this are quantitative and suggest to you watching morons try to mob and point, give up because a protosquad is sitting on it with a ******* camping prick of tanker in the back ranks and degenerate into a pack of snipers is particularly tactically stimulating.

Powerh8er The Rainbow Effect Negative-Feedback 749	Posted - 2015.04.29 05:21:00 - [47] - Quote Only wrong thing about domination in my mind is the players. Blueberries usually give up early on when they figure out they actually have to fight to capture, maybe die a couple of times in the process and hold the objective. Shame to see domination go, because it probably has the most potential for glorious fights, but i would understand if it did. Have you got anymore exploding carrots?

And skirmish would be better if squads actually used high ground, flanking, positioning, you know tactics, to take points rather than every moron on the bottom of the list going for "A" because its easy points. After thinking about it a bit though, skirmish is tactical in the sense of every squad/player needs to play their position correctly to win, and I get that. But relying on a single squad to do that, let alone a team, is laughable unless they are all together on coms (PC/FW Que sync) This is why I don't like skirmish personally. A couple people end up running around hacking everything for easy points (I've done it myself,) while the rest duke it out over a point or two (essentially dom) and there tends to be little to no actual teamplay, or even thought, involved (pubs of course.) In a nutshell, skirmish is too reliant on sh!t@ss bluedots to win, when the win is all I care about. If I que-synced more, I might actually enjoy skirmish. But the few times I have quesynced in the past were just horrible redline matches because the enemy team were mostly mindless 'dots. Hardly worth the 10 mins of Queuing.

Operative 1174 Uuali Y.A.M.A.H 628	Posted - 2015.04.29 06:05:00 - [50] - Quote Let's just improve domination. Domination 2.0! A good idea would be to stop the turtles. For instance, once the objective is capped a redline timer appears for an area around the objective for that team. So the team holding the objective has to move out away from the actual point to defend. The opposing team can still enter the area and attempt to hack the objective. Turtling, especially the Gal Lag Facility is the main problem with dom stagnation. There's just too much defense of the actual point rather than the outpost as a whole. The outpost as a whole is much more interesting as the basis for battle. If you want to have fortifications to bust through then give me destructible walls and obstructions to shoot at with my tank. Hey, tanks just became more valid! Death is a serious businessGÇª So is running a shoddy, half-baked game company.

EVE side help adds the same ( not new to FW ) but another aspect , coordination is the key when dealing with the aspect of game play in a ACQ as we see and from the outcome from most matches as discussed , squads and QUE's are already a part of FW and obvious a part of ACQ's as well from reports .. so why not merge these two if any needs to be and with the newness of ACQ's , they won't be missed because they just came about and now your adding additional aspects to FW , a mode that's in serious need of help from all mentioning ... even CCP talks about this so why not just make this happen and still you have skirmish , domination and ambush .. which is without vehicles and a part of the complaints about ACQ ( not that I mind of course ) is vehicles . You can rejuvenate a struggling mode with a fresh strategic aspect from something that was just created and is still being worked on , again ... like FW . Help you help yourself CCP . What do you think ? I would also like to see only LP / officer salvage while paying FW due to the nature of the game and the fact that a win means Acquisition , why not merge the two ? That would add to more of the racial aspect of the game . Doubts are like bothersome flies and should be treated as such and crushed . #PubsShouldBeRandomPlayers
