Summa Militum Art.of.Death Smart Deploy 813	Posted - 2015.09.21 16:47:00 - [1] - Quote Domination is clearly a trashy gamemode and it should be done away with. Let's allow Acquisition to be the new Domination. CCP, I ask of you to please get rid of Domination from this game. Which ones amongst you all would be upset if Domination was eliminated from this game?

The matches you describe are too far and few between. And last time I checked, even Skirmish, Acquisition and Ambushit fall victim to DUSTs horrible playerbase, not just Domination. Just because Domination falls victim to those pricks more often does not mean it should be removed, because Dominations problem players will simply migrate. Fix the reasons why Domination is "trashy": Gear disparities EWAR imbalances Garbage rewards Butttouching the losers of battle Poorly thought out letter hack points [Insert other problems here wrote: And you know what? Fixing those issues would... GASP ...make DUST a better game! The horror! Nope, best ignore underlying issues and just remove a gamemode. Much easier. Domination is a lost cause. Just look at how many things you say need to be fixed to make Domination a decent gamemode. There comes a time when one needs to consider throwing out what's broken so that resources can be focused on making everything else better.

So many kills Notice how you said 'best gamemode after Acquisition'? You will still have Acquisition to play; in fact you will be able to play Acquisition a lot more because there would be no more people playing Domination.

You do know it is common to capitalize the words of a title to something, right? I understand "small words" don't usually get capitalized but if me capitalizing the words if, from, and this, bother you I will try to keep you in mind next time I post something and refrain from doing so.

Babies that can't understand objective's, aq is for people who can't switch tactics when an enemy is dug in. Really? I actually view Domination as a gamemode for people who can't switch tactics in the middle of a match. Everyone pretty much does the exact same thing in Domination and those who can't do the exact same thing they are used to just quit the match or AFK. Do you notice those times in Domination where once your team loses the objective nobody bothers to try to push to get it back? I am pretty sure a lot of that deals with the fact that a lot of those people have no idea how to switch tactics when the enemy is dug in. Acquisition facilitates people to switch tactics in a match. In Acquisition you can't just post up at one objective location and expect to win the match. Acquisition allows for people to see how versatile they can be in a match.

Seems more like spam apex nonstop since there are no clones. And for those who could care less about feeding a proto squads k/d it's perfect. The **** are you talking about?

If I want skirmish I generally go to FW and I really do not like acquisition or ambush. I think we should remove skirm from pub contracts as Rattati mentioned before. We should also make all FW contracts 5 point maps and 3 point maps. What is it that you don't like about Acquisition?
Summa Militum Art.of.Death Smart Deploy 821	Posted - 2015.09.21 23:14:00 - [10] - Quote Genral69 death wrote: Lol, cant even believe this tread. Yes you may completely hate domination but is the most played game mode and I think alot of people would be pissed of if they got ride of it. Skirmish- run around alot and try to keep several objects, relying on your blues Ambush - get to the high ground / ranged weapons Aqu/dom - hack the point, push redline or bunker down Domination is the most played gamemode because for some reason this game tends to queue people into Domination matches before it queues people into other gamemodes. This results in longer queue times which ends up pushing people to only selecting Domination so that they can get into a match quicker. Domination wins the popularity contest by default. If Domination was truly such a great gamemode you would not see so many people quitting matches. If Domination were a great gamemode you would more often see people pushing for the win the entire match instead of giving up and running off because they don't want to go negative on ISK. In Acquisition matches you don't see anywhere near as many people dropping out as you see in Domination and very rarely do you not see people fighting full force until the very end of the match.

Domination is not the most popular by default. Its popular due to it being alot of action and 1 object . Most people don't want to be running around the entire map looking for people, they just want to shoot people. Yes people tend to quit due to people not wanting to actually put up a fight . You describe Domination as if it is a gamemode for stupid people who lack actual skill. I just might have to agree with that. I see a lot more skilled players in Acquisition matches than I do Domination matches. If I am going to be beaten to death by Romulus Hex it's going to happen in an Acquisition match before any other.

We should also make all FW contracts 5 point maps and 3 point maps. What is it that you don't like about Acquisition? Honestly it is just boring. An objective pops up and everyone runs to it. The first one to get there pretty much holds it until the next one pops up. With some adjusting on the timers it could be a really good mode but where it is currently there is not enough time to mount a true offense against a well established defense so everyone just waits to win the race to the next yellow objective. This is absolutely my opinion but I feel like it is a more mindless version of domination since you can just wait until the next objective pops up instead of analyzing the opponents defense and making a good push. You and I are playing completely different Acquisition matches.

You and I are playing completely different Acquisition matches. I know my opinion is a bit different than many other because I only run pub matches solo and anytime I am in a squad I am in FW. Would you care to share your counters to my points? I feel like I am missing something. I can give it a shot though my response is going to be rather common sense. I also pretty much only run solo and I do pretty well in the majority of the matches I play. Your comment about Acquisition being boring... You pretty much described Domination except that in Domination a lot of people don't ever have the chance to take the objective once it has been secured by the redberries. With Acquisition you have three objective sites throughout the match to try to secure. In Acquisition a persons success or failure in that match is never determined in the first minute. Your comment about Acquisition being a mindless version of Domination... You can't just stand back and wait for the next objective site to pop up because the redberries are also waiting for the same objective site (some of us are already at the next objective site so good luck with that). As to why you don't analyze the redberries defense and launch a counter in the 5 minutes you are allotted per objective site? I have no idea how to answer that except to tell you to analyze what the redberries are doing quicker. Due to the fact that match conditions can change each time the objective moves I feel that Acquisition provides an opportunity to engage in more dynamic gameplay.
