So you believe that the only place to train is in live action with all the marbles on the table?
I can literally think of no scenario where people do not train before endeavoring into something where the stakes are high.
Care to offer an example? I mean CCP has given us literally ZERO ways to team deploy other than PC. Right now PC has perhaps 1-5% of the playerbase involved. Do you think that might change if we were to have the old corp battle mode back?
PFC is the only thing close to this. If you don't like the idea behind PFC then you flat out don't like the idea of having a vibrant Molden Heath with lots of fighting.
I'd venture to say that the success people have in PC comes from the experience they gathered in beta fighting in lots of corp battles. I don't think PFC is going to change this anytime soon, but it does give corps a way to show their lower SP players what they have to do. It gives some validity to their statements about how to skill and the importance of specialization and teamwork if they want to be successful in PC.
To argue this only shows a person to be stubborn to a fault or a troll.
I believe that
Prior to me joining R* i had played in 0 corp battles in DUST, but i had done corp battles in other games so thats where my experience mostly comes from and its easily applied in other games
PFC is like a giant ball of wool and players muck about on it and maybe fight once a week while farming the other 6days
PFC is peaceful mostly and backed up by bigger corps who are supposed to keep balance (lolAE keeping balance while looking at Nyain San 3 districts lol)
Thing is tho 'war' isnt fair, they will hit you as much as possible and if you own 1 district thats easy to deal with but once you hit the higher numbers then it gets harder and harder to deal with because of overlapping timers for example or just timers when the corp isnt as active
Really how many games will it take for PFC corps to be good enough to join and compete with the rest of molden heath?
How long will it have to go on for? Will they ever be good enough to compete?
PFC is a farmville planet which isnt as active as it really should be and they have the fall back knowing that they will always have that district even if they lose, PC you lose you have a re up, you lose that you may have another re up or you lose the district on PFC it doesnt happen and you can contact the 'police' to sort it out
PFC is as far away from PC as it gets imo
