Domination

[nui_vu]

How come there's no option to turn off the domination game mode? It's literally the worst.

[_ENO_]

Because if WG turned off all the game modes that people said were the worst the whole game would involve us sitting in port.

Just have a little check box if you wanna play dom or not. WoT has this feature and everyone is happy.

Nah random games are random. You don't get to choose what you end up on.

Specific game modes can't be turned on or off within Random because the player base doesn't have the numbers to properly support a "Standard-only" option (or what have you).  If WG implemented it, then you'd be looking at much longer wait times for any PvP battle.

Domination is probably the best game mode offered, anyway.  The presence of the caps forces action (or should force action), and between capture & defense ribbons you can rack up higher XP totals than in a standard battle.

Oh, I see you haven't met Tears of the Desert with Epicenter yet.

i would love to have the data from WG on which mode produces tighter games... but they did reduce the incidence of standard in high tier matches, probably because it produced longer games at that level from all the camping.

I WANT MORE OCEAN. THIS IS NOT SARCASM. I LEGITIMATELY WANT MORE OCEAN.

Standard Battles are just a two-cap domination game with the variation that capping the enemy base automatically grants you the points to win.

Epicenter Battles are just a three cap domination game with the variation that the three caps stacked as concentric circles.

 

Basically, every game is domination now.

[freggo]

If you CTRL G the game the domination circles need to go too!

After all, that is supposed to be the epic movie mode so the white outlines have no business there!

Because random means random. Why should you have a choice?

LOL.  Then WG would try to sell us port mods.
