A filter needs to be added to instant battle so you can join battle types you like only. Some people like objectives, some do not. As it is all the games I get thrown in to are ambush, I do not like this, I get my fun from playing objectives.

Yes this is a beta.

Yes we are here to test.

BUT

You are asking us to give our time freely. We are testing your product for free and providing feedback/bug reports where we find them (at least some of us are.) As it stands you're alienating, in likelihood, at least half of those people who will provide feedback.

People aren't going to test a product they do not enjoy for free. I say this not to cause trouble but to try to draw attention to what is happening. I am a player who actually provides feedback where I see it needing to be, but since I get constantly dropped in to ambush battles (and shot in the face before I spawn properly) I feel no inclination to play since I get my fun from playing the objective in this type of game. I don't enjoy deathmatch shooters, I enjoy objective based team work and the ebb and flow of battle that objectives produce. I want to help provide feedback but at this time I just have little incentive to when I could be spending my time doing something I actually enjoy. I am sure I am not the only one who feels like that.

I am sure I am not the only one who feels like that. I will support this idea for the reason that, those who are testing out vehicles or support aspects of the game have no opportunity in Ambush. It's hard to test new elements when all the teenagers are running around in Assaults trying for nothing but high KDRs.

Demonic Chaos Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 14	Posted - 2012.08.18 12:44:00 - [4] - Quote I would like to see filter options for instant battle at least type of battle and map size, team size if not also map preferances

I am sure I am not the only one who feels like that. +1 filter options -5 for complaining about a beta. Your EXPECTING something? Im sorry, but are you submitting verbose code based bug reports to the company that provide possible fixes to the bugs? You are a PLAYER. You run, you shoot, you die. You come on forums and give feedback about what is broken. Too many people treat betas like its a damned public release with full conditions and options (not you so much) but this crap about high expectations because your not being reimbursed for your time here? Go play some DIABLO III if you want something for your time. Otherwise please remain constructive to the point. They WANT any/all opinions about what they are needing balanced. So many people bitched about ambush, why do you think we are testing it? Just because someone doesnt like something you dont cease and desist all production. Rather you try and elicit a response from the naysayers to figure out why. You may provide a lot of feedback and thats great, but to request during a beta you only try things YOU like, while saying it should be AS much because your doing this for free? How about CCP backcharge you for the time youve been logged into game. You are here I HOPE because you want to see an AWESOME game released. How about THAT is your payment. An AAA free to play shooter that you contribute too instead of only worked on things you like. People pump **** for a job, but they do it wether they like it or not because it gets them money. In this case entertainment. Sorry for the dump on your but it was just another post in a long line of people coming off as expecting something in return. Just be proud to contribute, and strive for a better game. We KNOW filters will come out. But they continually have to remind us all that there are some bigger things to be resolved. Please be patient.

The battle finder gives the message to use the instant battle setting - and there is only 1 ambush style battle listed on the selection screen, unlike before which had 3 ambush setting and 1 skirmish setting

I can use the battle finder (it's slower than instant battle, but it works), and I get 2 Skirmish options - one for each server.
