I'm quite curious to know what makes you say: "Ok, this player can join Sver/TeamPlayers/whateverkickasscorporation".
Personally, I love my Corp because they're a bunch of nice guys, they are exactly that kind of people you always have fun with, but we are generally open to new players and in the end this makes us a "relaxed" Corp, even though part of us kicks butts (there's a huge skill gap among our members). But I'm pretty sure it's very different for those "Top" Corps. I'd like to know "fun" is an important factor, but of course skill is a priority for competitive corporations.
Besides K/D Ratio (I don't know how important it is, after all), what are the recruitment criteria for such high-level Corps? |

As for pc, all you need is proto suit, proto weapon, and if not a heavy, proto uplinks! That's it!
Proto uplinks! Yayy :D
Yeah, in PC people rarely run out of ammo before they die, lol... hives are not needed.
But Proto Uplinks really suck a ton of PG and CPU... it takes a noticeable amount of SP to upgrade the core skills. With proto shields and weapon I really struggle to use any decent equipment right now.
What about the Scanner? Is it being helpful in PC?

Good to know, thanks! I just got the ADV Quantum and it's awesome. I feel like going to proto for this sweet toy.
Of course I have to upgrade CPU to level 5 before, but everytime I see how many SP it costs I feel demotivated |

I don't know if you were asking because you wanted to get into one of those other corporations. If you were, I'd urge you to think about what you said about your current corporation. You may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true. OK, I stole that last sentence
Spock!
I asked out of curiosity.
It is true that I'm growing and growing as a player in this game, but if I will ever feel like I want to be part of the most competitive dimension of DUST, that's something I'm going to discuss with my Corp mates before making any decision.
I hope Psygod9 will be back to PC soon.
Anyway, it would be painful to leave them... |

Besides K/D Ratio (I don't know how important it is, after all), what are the recruitment criteria for such high-level Corps? Havent read the entire thread in case this has already been answered, but in STB we have a couple very clear-cut rules for recruits... 1 - Must be over 16 years of age or show an acceptable level of maturity 2 - Must have a mic and use it at all times 3 - Must be tolerant of all beliefs, orientations, relationships, etc. of the members. STB does not judge or discriminate and this is a serious offense. STB takes pride on being a family of players instead of being simply a clan or banner that people play under. We have had two people meet each other through STB and they are getting married soon. In addition, many of our members are friends in real life and have aided one another in significant ways even though they have never met face to face. On top of everything, we believe in playing in a competitive manner and maintaining a strong desire to win as a team, bettering not only ourselves, but our fellow corpmates at all times. In Dust, we also have a couple additional regulations, which if they cannot be met, the player will be referred to our training corp or our sister corp. This is not a denial, but rather us asking you to let us help improve your skills through hands-on training, metagame crunching, and overall improving mental strength. In order to bypass this, your character must possess at least a 2.0 KD, a 2.0 WL, and must have at least 10 million sp. We welcome any and all who are interested to apply, after which we will begin our screening process. o7
Thank you for the very detailed answer, that helps me understand how do you streamline your corporation.
However, a KDR of 2.0 is a much lower requirement than what I expected, while WLR 2.0 is a tough one for people playing solo most of the time.
My KDR should be about 4.0 (I don't remember exactly and rarely check it), but my WLR is 1.30 or something. lol.

Rogatien Merc wrote:it's more about finding a corp you may want to join, hopping in their public chat or recruitment thread, and making contact. each corp will guide you from there. knowledge of the game mechanics, above average gun game and full proto setup in a solid role is a basic requirement... assume 10mil SP as a bare minimum as an assault type as you need core and weapon skills relatively high to go toe-to-toe with PC teams.
raw kdr is just one element.. and a shallow one at that. but the most common element that people look at up front... whether your listed char kdr or your kdr over a specific period of tryout, and desired kdr sometimes varies based on role and SP level. in competitive play there are a lot of other factors to consider as well. and on the most competitive teams it's often about whether you can play a necessary role that they are short on.
the requirement that you fit in and get along is understood / obviously implied.
good luck.
I feel like the SP gap between me and you guys is somehow unfillable and that for this reason the best corporations will never really find me interesting... (insert sad face).
This is probably the only thing of DUST that really feels "unfair" to me. |

I've been in a few top corps and if you don't love PC, it ain't worth it. Playing pubs with good friends is much more fun.
Thank you very much. Playing with my friends (especially real friends) is fun indeed... But sometimes I wish they were more organized and efficient (I'm not referring to my Corp, just friends in general), I'm used to play with kickass players in most games and I miss this in DUST.
Maybe, more than a top corp, I need some sort of "clan", a squad of really nice and friendly people but great players as well. But I have no idea where to start from to get this. |

I think with all the people you have in your ranks is pretty easy to make money |
