I said it before, and I'll say it again.

People need to stop b*tching about this.
Every online FPS game has a TDM game mode, deal with it.

This is the second time I've posted it, so your point is moot.
Back on topic, the people that are complaining about this need to tough it out until CCP lets us manually select our battles.
They can feel free to avoid Ambush when that happens.

Most people who dislike ambush dislike it because it has no objective other than shoot and kill

Once again, I have to disagree with you.
The newest map, when played on Ambush, has supply depots, and I am assuming CCP will continue to add more installations in later maps created for Ambush.

Which is what 90% of this game is all about. If you're having problems killing people now, Skirmish isn't going to help you.

Not fun for you maybe, but I enjoy it. There is an objective in Ambush, it's called killing others while minimizing your deaths. It's all about attrition. And if you don't think the vast majority of game play involves killing people in either Skirmish or Ambush, then I don't know what to tell you.

Carlito-

That's not how OB mechanics work. You don't get a Deathstar to play with at launch. Eve IS a war of attrition, if you can't replace your losses, you're done.

Arpentis-

Because the objective is to kill the other side's clones while limiting your own losses. That's the objective, plain and simple. Adding another objective would make it skirmish and not an Ambush.

Carlito-

First, In the "Seeding the Universe" fanfest video someone asked if you could basically destroy a district without fighting over it as a scorched earth method. Both devs stated that wasn't a feature in game but might be if players asked for it.

Secondly, OB has a cooldown and you have to have boots on the ground already fighting in order to use it.


Arpentis-

Nobody likes ambush? Funny, on the last build, Biomass and Communications usually had at least half the number of active players as skirmish had -Hardly nobody.

As for objectives. What objective are you going to add that wouldn't step on the toes of skirmish and completely change the flavor of ambush? KotH style with one side trying to hold an area...that is just an organized campfest. Click this terminal? That's skirmish. I agree there are ways to make Ambush more varied in terms of gameplay, but not by adding more skirmish style objectives.

You mean every battle ever fought had another objective other than kill the other side? I agree with the naming system not being appropriate, but let's not argue for changing the entire game mode because the name is incorrect. If it helps you sleep at night, then imagine it's just two forces meeting and effectively skirmishing until one side is dead.

If you called three OBs in one game then your team was already winning prior to that, or would have anyway. Right now it takes a few WPs to drop those on someone and to get enough for 3 means you and your team were already beating the other side heavily.

Bolded the important parts of your post.

Ambush works in hisec/lowsec for people who just want to log in and kill a few people before going to bed/work, w/e. right now Ambush has a faster turnover than skirmish, this means I can get more isk and sp faster than I normally would in skirmish. I also can lone-wolf it more depending on the map. Sometimes I just want to kill people, Ambush allows me to do that faster and with less fuss. That's why it is a good game mode, but not for everyone all the time. Thankfully we get to choose what we play.

Most people don't like using shotguns or playing in heavy suits. And please tell me you're not seriously going to use the number of threads as a way to gauge who likes and plays what. Last week, 4 of those "20" threads were made by Carlito and it pretty much has the same people in each thread going back and forth. Also, most of those threads were in regard to the fact we weren't able to choose which map we got to play for testing purposes. If you played at 5am est then yes Ambush would be empty because most people on the east coast are either asleep or heading to work/school.

Instead of getting angry and making nearly unintelligible posts, it might be better if you actually used some critical thinking skills.

Yes it is a game. And sometimes people want to just log in and kill a few people for some laughs. Not always, but sometimes. That's what TDM is for. It's also there so people with epeens can grab a few of their friends and fight another group with epeens for e-honor. There are a lot of reasons for having a TDM style game mode in Dust.

Found those with 30 seconds of searching. Please try and act like an adult.

I muddled through the poorly written text brick you threw at me, but i got that part. That's not the argument.

Ambush is TDM.

Whoa, blew my mind a bit there...
You are saying we should change Ambush in to something different, and put in a TDM mode?...
Do you understand how redundant this is? Why not just make a new game mode and leave Ambush as it is?

lol...I pointed out such a large flaw in your argument you can't even come up with a response.
Reread the comment at the top of this quote and then respond to this.
"TDM is just being reassigned some where else in my argument."
Let me say this again: You want to change Ambush to something "more fun" and reassign TDM? That IS redundant.
Maybe YOU should get off the pills.
