FLAY LOCKED Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 245	Posted - 2015.07.23 07:14:00 - [1] - Quote Since Domination was released in late 2013, about 85% of my matches have gone to it despite all other modes being queued. Recently, as in the last half year, that percentage has gone up to nearly one-hundred. I haven't had an Acquisition match in forever, Ambush seems impossible to get into unless I specifically queue for that mode alone, and Skirmish comes up every now and then. As much as I enjoy always having a fight in a restricted area of a map, there are times where I want things to be more far spread out. Acquisition seemed seemed to be the closest thing to that, unlike Skirmishes repetitive roundabout chase, but I can never get Scotty to queue me in for it. Oh, and when he does... it becomes the most boring thing to play. So vicious are the one-sided stomps that the objective barely gets to move twice. Anyway, Domination... Yeah.
Starlight Burner Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 362	Posted - 2015.07.23 07:22:00 - [2] - Quote Skirmish: Not enough bodies on the map to shoot Acqusition: Domination should be replaced with this imo. Ambush: ProBush, not fun Domination: Can always get a fight unless they're hiding in redline. ^ Boom, why Domination is best.

I have been playing a lot of Domination matches these past couple of days to try to figure out why people like that gamemode so much and I can't figure it out. I wish more people played Acquisition. Acquisition is my favorite gamemode and I think it is much better than Domination.

There,i fixed it for you WESKER S.T.A.R.S. is not my corporation!

Domination is so fun sometimes. My best games have been on domination. Nothing else compare. Skirmish takes forever, ambush is full of proto stompers most of the time, never tried acquisition and i dont care to, and factional warfare takes a half hour to just get in a single match. Starter Fit Suits are OP :-)
deezy dabest Evil Syndicate Alliance. 2	Posted - 2015.07.23 07:53:00 - [6] - Quote Everything else takes too freaking long to get a match since the squad size update. Skirmish should probably just be removed from pub contracts as Ratatti mentioned a while back. Remove NPC orbitals from FW. -- Fix orbital timers for Eve players assisting in Planetary Conquest.
Beld Errmon Company of Marcher Lords 1	Posted - 2015.07.23 09:47:00 - [7] - Quote I was just gunna make this topic, i'm so sick of dominations, from a dropship pilots pov its a horrible game mode, but its all i ever see, waiting 20 mins for a skirmish to start isn't much of an alternative though, rather deal with the amazing amounts of AV ppl pull in dom if they so much as hear a dropship. it seems this way with every game though, ppl will always flock to certain game modes and all the others languish. I miss a good skirmish, its where dropships can be real useful. Retired bittervet.
Karras Hearn 352 Industries 52	Posted - 2015.07.23 10:21:00 - [8] - Quote Bring back the original Skirmish 1.0 that we had at the start of beta. That **** was fun
Edgar Reinhart Resheph Interstellar Strategy Gallente Federation 130	Posted - 2015.07.23 10:34:00 - [9] - Quote I'd be happy to see Dom and Acquisition rolled into one queue in pubs (Ideally with a few tweaks to Acquisition, eg more point rotations more point randomness) and probably the 5 point skirmish taken out and kept just for FW and PC. It'd be a shame to loose it entirely though so keep the 3 point maps. I'd go as far as to say all pubs should be rolled into a random selection each time but I think that'd probably end with a lot of people leaving each match. I too would like to see an attackers, defenders style mode. Right back to the Gal FW grind. See yous in the redline folks!

DUST Fiend 17	Posted - 2015.07.23 11:54:00 - [11] - Quote Domination is literally the worst place to fly solo, and almost 100% comes down to who hacks the terminal first then camps it the hardest. It's incredibly boring yet definitely the most popular game mode. I think it just speaks to DUSTs mentality of grab some buddies, camp the high ground, and **** noobs ad infinitum.
Mejt0 Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.07.23 12:00:00 - [12] - Quote Domination sucks. But people don't search for anything else. If you don't have enough sp/gear, you're doomed. Loyal to The State Official Caldari Commando User
Varoth Drac Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.07.23 12:13:00 - [13] - Quote Domination is probably best for pub matches (unless you are a scout or vehicle) because it requires less team cooperation, and has more consistent intense action, if it's not a stomp. That said, I like variety, and am getting sick of non stop domination. I personally would like the choice of game mode removed. Not only would this give more variety, but it would also improve matchmaking.
xavier zor Second-Nature Rise Of Legion. 1	Posted - 2015.07.23 12:19:00 - [14] - Quote as a scout and ADS pilot, i can confirm that this is the hardest gamemode for us. AV gets pulled out the moment a vehicle is heard, and scans only need to be directed at one point. Do you know how hard it is to stop a hack when there are 4/5 people there, WITHOUT REMOTES?!?! Don't even worry about surviving... Domination is the place where KD whores stick 2 logi's behind them and stomp (or at least try) Its the place where everyone uses easymode heavies with assault HMG's. Scrubmode all over again When i sound salty, i don't mean it :) Just returned
Kaze Eyrou DUST University Ivy League 2	Posted - 2015.07.23 12:50:00 - [15] - Quote Quote: Do most people play Domination? I think people gravitate toward faster queue times. Domination offers just that. I prefer Skirmish myself, but I can't find people patient enough to queue for it with me. CB Vet // Logi Bro // @KazeEyrou Kaze's Helpful Links

Alcina Nektaria KILL-EM-QUICK Rise Of Legion. 45	Posted - 2015.07.23 15:29:00 - [17] - Quote Domination provides for a good fight as everything is close quarters. It is intimate and intense and requires strategic thinking and good gun game. Skirmish is easy to just run around and hack everything. On the rare occasion I find myself in one, I'll either stay at a single objective and guard it by myself because no one pushes in groups; or i'll run around in my scout suit and hack hack hack until my little heart's content. Ambush is a perfect ground for either stomping or being stomped and making a lot of money in a short amount of time. Acquisition is great for teamwork and undermining your opponents. Most people find themselves in anything BUT skirmish due to the severe lag of the larger maps. It sucks that so much camping goes on in Domination, but I guess when it boils down to it that's what happens when the whole team is focused on defending that ONE point (minus the people who actually run around and try to shoot things and get into gunfights. I guess it's all about personal preference. *KEQ Diplomat* Gallente Loyalist ... Come at me bro. A grenade to the head will most certainly get you dead.
Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Battalion 865	Posted - 2015.07.23 15:57:00 - [18] - Quote Domination is just too easy to exploit to be fun anymore. Everyone knows the maps, the spawn points, the camp spots, the best route to the point. I sleep walk through the train map every time it cycles in, which is often. Pro squads will decimate opposition, but then again since the squad size change I have noticed fights becoming a lot more fierce and competitive, even if losing side rarely takes the point. Red lining is an uncommon occurrence these days for me. The simplest fix I can think of is to use skirmish maps with all the null cannons but one inactive; this active null becomes your Domination point, but after a set amount of time it switches off and another null activates on the map. A hybrid of Dom and acquisition, just to keep fights from going static. Dedicated Commando. "He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing."
DiablosMajora 242	Posted - 2015.07.23 16:09:00 - [19] - Quote The reason why it is most popular is simple: structured force projection. Instead of having players run around the maps like a swarm of confused ants, the single objective lights up like a beacon and says, "Go Here". Sure, there are secondary places to go to defend CRUs or whatnot, but structured force projection seems to be its main selling point. Now, if only we could do something similar to how Planetside 2's grid works. Then I think things like skirmish would be much MUCH more popular. Prepare your angus
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens RUST415 4	Posted - 2015.07.23 16:14:00 - [20] - Quote I do, for a couple of reasons. 1. Skirmish could be fun but the "who am I going to shoot?" is quite difficult as the maps are fairly big and people are spread out. It can be fun doing the "hahaha, I have an entire squad having to sit on the back point because I am annoying them with my Scout" but usually I just want to shoot people. 2. Ambush goes too fast. 3 minutes getting 'into' each game because of slow load times, getting in, finding people to shoot if your team spawns far away, and the lovely "VICTORY" or "DEFEAT" that lasts forever. Besides that, it just goes really quick with the 50 clones. 3. Ambush is more likely to be a stomp than Domination, even if that is also a stomp. When Domination is a stomp, you can at least find people to kill. When Ambush is a stomp, you are not able to spawn because the enemy team vaporized 50 clones in 2 minutes. Domination is the best of both those worlds. It gives the enemy a centralized location to fight so no matter who has the point, both sides can congregate and have people to shoot. Read here for more on that. or just go with "One of the reasons I prefer Domination over Ambush is that the central area gives a place to congregate and shoot each other. Walking around trying to find someone to shoot is not as interesting as just shooting people." "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
