Why Conquest? :: SmiteFire

Forum » General Discussion » Why Conquest? 10 posts - page 1 of 1

So, I don't understand the appeal of conquest. I'm up to god level 27 and I've played maybe a dozen rounds of it - one every few weeks - to see if I can figure out what it is people like about it. It starts slow and takes forever; I'd rather play 2 quick Arenas than take 45 minutes to lose a match.

Is it just because it's the "default" MOBA mode? Is there something about it I don't get what makes it more fun than any of the other modes...

It's the default MOBA mode, and the mode that the whole game is balanced around. I suppose people just like it because it's arguably the most balanced, and also because it's the mode that matters, as everything competition related is based around it.

because it takes more strategy then arena because it has multiple stages in the match.

the baiting, the ganking, the initiating, the counter iniating, the objectives and then come the team fights.

arena is only constant teamfighting. nothing wrong with that but think of it this way.

a normal CoD team death match = arena and seeing as CoD gets very boring in 2 matches a MOBA would, to become popular or work atleast need something that takes a bit more skill, strategy and planning in order to keep players hooked.

now that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with liking arena better but most moba's would not be popular without a form of concuest.

arena to me is if i just want to run around contanly attacking and not caring about dieing or warding or planning. to me its a relax mode and its fun.

never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

To me Smite is supposedly "relax mode and it's fun". Maybe it's more fun if you play with people who know what they are doing? Usually it seems like I either lose slowly and agonizingly or we surrender at 10... I think I won a match or two way back when I first started playing and didn't know what was going on, but since then it's just a way to waste 30 minutes.

I don't like Conquest either . I prefer Arena over Conquest at any time , it's fast paced and it's just WAY more fun .Not to mention it takes less time to complete .

Conquest may take more strategy and team work to be able to win , maybe that's why most of the people like it .

Domi and Arena are way more fun to me since I can sit back, relax and get some kills :p
In cinquest there is laning, ganking, feeders my team is retarted, ect. Nobody really cares about domi or arena :)

As others have said above, it's the default game mode for MOBA games, which exists in every MOBA's out on the market. The reason it's so popular is because it's what created the genre in the first place, by some guys a couple of years back who created a map called "DOTA" (Defense of the Ancients) in Warcraft III. Since then, some developers have been making their own game from the base of this, but trying to make their own style with it. A few examples are the new game modes, new items, different abilities etc.

The default game mode is also the most common way to express your "skills" such as elo in LoL for example, and lets not forget that it's the standard game mode for tournaments in every MOBA game. Why? Because it's the longest and most intense game mode there is for MOBA at the moment. :p

I also don't like conquest. It start out really slow and you're just stuck at low level/money for way too long.

In arena, you start out with all your basic skills and the action picks up immediately. It's way more fun!

I guess I'm the only one who likes conquest...

Arena is fun, but it's too repetitive for me. I really enjoy laning phase and the tactics in it.

You're not alone. Conquest is the second most fun game mode to me, specially when I'm playing with friends( 2~5).

I REALLY dislike domination. People in there are awful... well, most people are. Arena is fun, Assault is my favorite game mode.
