I don’t play PvP much but I wanted to play Stronghold. I tried checking the Stronghold box, queued up, got a Conquest match. Ok, I’ll play it, not fair to back out when I’ve accepted. Get through that and try again, this time checking Conquest box and queue again. Yep, got Conquest match again. Play through it again since I accepted. Back in the HotM, noticed that when only one option is checked it’s also greyed out, which to me means it’s not active. Hm. When both are checked both are bright and no grey. So I tried queuing with both checked. Out of maybe 3 more times I got Stronghold (which is what I wanted to begin with) once and played Conquest the rest of the time.
Is this working as intended?

You simply need to uncheck conquest and it will work.
It’s just grayed out to indicate that you can’t change this option now, because you need to have one active.

Hm. I see what you mean, but I feel like I tried that and it didn’t work. Ah well, I’ll try it again if/when Stronghold is available again. Thanks for clarifying.

This feature is currently being beta tested, so your feedback is appreciated. It sounds like having at least one option selected is a confusing experience. Maybe some extra tooltips explaining the functionality could help.
It also looks like there have been some bugs where people get put into the wrong game mode.

For me, I think the confusion comes from the fact that when I chose (checked) the option I wanted it was then greyed out. I would expect the other option that is unchecked to be greyed out and thus not active. I couldn’t tell if this was just me not understanding what I was meant to do to choose to play Stronghold or if I’m too low PvP level (under 20) and thus didn’t have the choice mechanism available.
I obviously don’t play PvP very much so I assume my ignorance was the problem. It may be crystal-clear to people who are more familiar with PvP. If you wanted to make this more noob-friendly a tooltip might help, even something as probably-obvious-to-everyone-else as “Check the game mode you would like to play. It will turn grey to disable changing the option” or something to confirm that I’m asking for the mode I think I am.
And thanks for the reply.

For me it was quite obvious. If it’s greyed out it means that you can’t interact with it anymore (click it). So if you grey out the box that you can actually click then it would be even more confusing imo.
