You're joining the wrong dethmatch server.

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

More people prefer TDM so I play it because that's where I get my games and there are sometimes servers I won't absolutely destroy in. I'm going to generally elect not to choose Seige, MA, or TDM until the population rises a bit.

I just wanted to say that I agree with OP a bit here, every single time I play the only servers available are either team deathmatch or deathmatch, it's been months since I last played siege or MS, because siege and MS servers are always empty.

To be fair, yes game modes other than TDM could use a little love.

When I find myself complaining about the varied availability of games modes, I start using the server browser and manually selecting a game mode that I desire. Obviously just because I use the server browser doesn't automagically mean I'll find what I want, but it sure beats match-maker if you're looking for something specific.

Personally I don't care for strait up death match game modes. Objective heavy game modes are more fun in my opinion, and you see a greater variety in mechs played, like in Siege. Too bad not many people like Siege.

It doesn't help that a lot of Siege's mechanics are not explained (like the bases' eu gauges filling automatically at 1 unit per second when no aircraft is launched).

I think a lot of (new) players also don't realize that for every player a team has on a silo than the enemy team, the speed of capturing that silo is increased.

Speaking of which, the fact that capturing requires having one more player than the enemy inside the capture area makes having an uneven number of players very problematic, since the bigger team can capture much faster than the smaller one. This also makes quitters more of an issue.

 

A rather minor factor is (at least for me) the limited number of maps:

Siege only has Origin, Last Ecosystem, Frontline and Wreckage. (There's also Bazaar and Bunker, but their not in the public servers' rotation)

Missile Assault has, in addition to Siege's selection, Bazaar, Facility and Bunker.

Deathmatch and Team Deatchmatch have all of the above, plus Prosk and Uptown.

Maybe down the line, we can have mode-specific variations of the excluded maps, modified to work with Siege and Missile Assault.


I have a lot of ideas and would like some feedback on them:

Some of the stuff you say isn't explained is, as far as I know, implied.

The automatic EU increase isn't obscure, you merely need to pay attention. Same for fighting over AA.

 

If you want stuff to be more clearer, fine, but the mechanics are either explained or see-able if you pay attention. A few matches won't hurt either, because you need to get used to the mode, and having everything spelled out won't erase trial and error. If the player consistently ignores other players and the game going "Go to AA", that's not entirely the game's fault. Even people who know how Siege works will ignore the call.

 

New players are inexperienced and even when I saw the Siege rules for the first time when I went into the game mode it took me a few tries to get the hang of it. But you'll always have some players who don't care to pay attention or listen to the game/HUD/players say what to do.

It be cool if some servers could rotate the game modes without admin intervention while your in the server. Would also help promote people staying in a single server so they would be able to get a chance to get their daily win bonuses without ever leaving the server.
