[HOGS] Hogwild_Gankhammer [HOGS] Players 30 posts 11,555 battles Report post #1 Posted June 21, 2020 Epicenter.......Give us the choice to opt out of this game mode. Or just rename it to 'Sit in a big circle and get shot at for twenty minutes while trying not to get spotted by cv's while your team always sit back, do nothing and watch your unfolding demise'. 1 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CRUEL] Commander_Ericson Players 222 posts 12,144 battles Report post #2 Posted June 21, 2020 You could try disengaging , contesting the outer rings whilst also harassing enemies in the middle once spotted. I understand what you're saying though. I've seen numerous epicenter battles lost on points because one team would contest the circles. But if everyone, or at least the even most o f the team, goes for the middle the flanks are open for the enemy to push and create effective crossfires and the team in the sat in the middle generally just dies. I find it tends to be the higher tier bigger maps where this is more of an issue as cruisers and bb's out on the edge can't help cover the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[R7S] Wulf_Ace Players 2,179 posts 12,310 battles Report post #4 Posted June 21, 2020 Most of the battles people go at the sides of the map, ignoring epicenter, a few DDs that get to epicenter get either shred by massive crossfire or a CV. Maybe only solution is to put a lot of more islands in epicenter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[INTRO] Hanse77SWE Players 1,518 posts 28,995 battles Report post #7 Posted June 21, 2020 This is the same as with the Ocean map. As soon as there is something the requires tactics or brainwork, people complain. Epicenter is fine. 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[RAIN] GarrusBrutus Players 3,711 posts 12,557 battles Report post #12 Posted June 21, 2020 Epicentre needs to be tweaked: either slower points tick or a spawn delay of the circles. Because I despise this gamemode simply because of the many 5 minute games i had on it..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either your team got it and too fast win or an opposite. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[ENUF] SnuSnu_RIP [ENUF] Players 858 posts 36,537 battles Report post #15 Posted June 21, 2020 Epicenter creates every time the same shaking head reaction - similar to CVs in the match. This mod is way to complicated for the simple "bum bum" minded players. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BEACH] SoothingWhaleSong Players 58 posts 7,558 battles Report post #17 Posted June 21, 2020 Whilst it has it's problems, the games are frequently better than the often too campy standard battles. As much as it has problems for short games, I'd rather that than watching the clock tick to 20. It's rare enough to be vaguely interesting variety. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[GEUS] TeaAndTorps Players 820 posts 2,680 battles Report post #18 Posted June 21, 2020 Not necessarily a fan myself but I think it's largely a 'git gud' issue on my part. It adds variety and in general I think having an opt- out fractures the playerbase in ways that might not be helpful for the MM. I do think epicentre is at least as *interesting* as standard battles, even if I feel more *comfortable* in the latter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
