but remember their needs to be more corporations to begin with. when 1 corp has everything, game is over.

Seems like a poorly planned logistics issue on tp's part if the goal was to hold land.

Get great team of killers - check
Work on tactics and teamwork - check
Attack almost everyone and win - check
Have a plan for what to do next - no clue

Sorry your first world problems are not mine if you accomplished the first three so well why so flustered by the final step? What is the purpose of a large alliance, what is the purpose of GATT? Why is it so hard to comprehend the only way to sustain your accomplishments is to grow, otherwise you need to start some contraction in your business plan. If that's the case why do it in a chicken **** way like lock blocking to avoid loss before your sales are final. Here's your cake please eat it.

Why bother growing the corp?

If 30 of us can hold 10 districts and get XXX paychecks per month, why would we want to try to get more people, to try and hold more land, having to deal with more logistics and more variation in player numbers on a night by night basis, as to essentially make the same amount of money per person as before?

I'm not gonna bother commenting on what EoN leadership is doing now, it has no bearing on my suggestion for future iterations of PC.

My counter is the entire system is flawed and we should have no timers. I know that the poor little corp will never have a chance in that scenerio and back in march I supported our current configuration. But look now does anyone feel sorry for the poor under 40 person corp anymore? At the moment 40 people (really only 4 or 5 directors) control almost all the content for the rest of us and that is a good thing?

We'd be better off with STB, PRO, GOONFEET, and TEST owning it all and getting their **** kicked in each night and allow their worker bees to take it back every dawn. At least then there would always be a fight. Which would you prefer your current frustration of dealing with the consequences of your appetite, or the frustration of knowing that every day you have an unlimited number of people to attack, demoralize, and wreck havoc on their land, even if it meant they slipped back in like roaches each night when you slept. Seems the later fits your play style more so than your current efforts of farmville.

Look you guys rock it's like watching Vikings come and destroy your village but this whole benevolent landlord thing is BS and you guys suck at it. I know at least 15 people on goonfeet that could run the show you've created, minimze district loss to acceptable levels, and make profit without having to do unfun and unsound practices like pay to attack yourself. Have you considered bringing on a CFO?

So you expect CCP to build a game mode that encourages very small elite level players to dominate a game mode because you guys don't want to split pay checks?

There are a lot of things wrong with PC, but I hope CCP leans toward encouraging corporations to expand by bringing in new players to eventually help them take more territory.

I've agreed with your posts quite a bit in the past, but man this thread is... I really don't know what to call it.

You shouldn't be able to own the amount of land that you own. Logistically it isn't possible. It's taken some time but the players in this game have finally banded together to prove this point.

The game mode is finally working as intended. Now instead of just accepting this you guys are using an actual broken mechanic of PC to attempt to hold your bloated share of MH.

PC needs more regions open

I think what really ruins pc is the actual people's mentality who play and the supposed 'competitive' play which is just noob tubes and grenade spam. Last time I checked competitive was not fotm, it's a mentality and iv barely seen it in dust, just crutch bearers.

OP POST

Well that's just poor balancing by CCP, those issues will smoothed out over time.

If anything, at least PC is a great place to data mine weapon statistics and spot FOTM before it becomes a major public problem!

On the contrary, I feel that the PC territory control amount is very good.
The amount of districts each corp "can" realistically control scales naturally.
There's no hard artificial limitations, there's no urge to create alt corps to maximise control/gains.
The # of districts is organically greater for large corps and smaller for smaller - also balanced by interest to defend and skill level of corps.


Now what is broken is way the isk gains are constant per each unattacked district. If some entity holds majority of districts, current method (clone sale) just pumps isk into the system.

[SUGGESTION:]
A better method would be to have a combo of the following:
- The goods produced by districts are raw materials of some sort
- Newly conquered district produce less, the longer they are controlled uninterrupted the better the production. They can be interrupted with moderate effort
- Free market sales of the goods (make sure if some entity gets too much production by abovementioned way, the price would fall)

anyways... look it doesn't really matter. I knew I would receive a lot of hostility due to my alliance tag, and I don't really care. I'm not necessarily saying I have all of the answers here, but its well acknowledged that PC is in a bit of a broken state atm.

All I can hope is that TTG reads this post gets some ideas on how to improve the value of holding territory. Any sort of hostility or discussion in this thread is probably meaningless anyways.

I enjoyed my time playing in PC, and I am still quite interested to see the future of MH and PC in general. However I can't see PC being any more than good players 'stealing' clones from other corps as a way to make money (by attacking, winning, and then leaving the district as they can't defend more than xx timers).

I think PC will always remain fairly stagnant insolong as the mechanics in this game favor corps not wanting to take additional districts.

With all due respect mh is worthless space so it makes sense they opened it as a kind of pc beta, of course to filth dwellers it's worth some isk but on the whole mh is worthless.

Worthless to eve players though right?

It doesn't have to be worthless to dust players though, you can call equestria for all it matters. To dust players PC is just PC. The systems are just dots on a big board that's part of another game.

Sure they will eventually open null sec and land grabs on sovs but thats 3-4 years away realistically.

I was making an observation, there was no point I was trying to make.

I think if eve pilots controlled more of what we do it would be more fun and we would be mercs. Maybe even scrap pc and have it eve side so our eve pilots control it, and half corp built on integration would love this

You gotta get eve players to care about dust first lol.

Theres loads, the whole eve pilots don't care is just fotm trash talk and besides it what the game is about and building towards so noone really has to do anything regarding that because it will happen anyway.
