We have lots unlocked....AE and DDB...well, DDB is gettting mass attacked by STB..some good fights. Yes...NS timers are not NA friendly..but all of OUR timers are not NS friendly, yet they still managed to successfully attack and take over districts on OUR timers. That means they beat ALL these teams on their own turf and own timers. Kudos to t

Well, WTF are EU, so I dont think you can blame them for having their timers set like that.

Nyain San are just ridiculous though, yes, thats their timezone, but there is no excuse to have 60 Districts set on that timer, when we attacked their district on that timer, they had to hire ringers, and were short for men because it took them a good two minutes to fill the next fight.

I think you're thinking of ARES-HIMSELF. Ares is actually a pretty chill dude.

If your that good and in that good shape why did you not man up and go against an older Corp directly ?

yea give wtf 4th place , our timers are a little weird cuz we had to take a break from all the attacks we received this month, so don't advertise our name. Shhhh :) we will change them back to prime time soon.

There is no doubt, but I don't think the district locking and such would be as necessary as it is now.

Corps like mine, Dark Legion, STB, Capital Acquisition, KEQ, and many other 2nd tier corps all have a similar plight. That comment might **** people off but if you have a recruiting thread you are more than likely a 2nd tier corp. The elite corps don't have recruiting threads, they snipe guys from our corps.

But back to the story. You train and recruit and bust your ass to get ready for PC. You get some land, you win some battles against corps in your tier. Then one of the corps you've beaten brings in ringers to protect their assets. Then you are on the radar. Elite corps come in and stomp your ass and take your districts. Then your PC players get discouraged, start pointing fingers, etc. Some corps disband, some guys just stick to pubs but stick with the corp, and lots of talented players just go to the elite corps doing the stomping.

Let's get one thing straight. You will NEVER see a competitive, vibrant PC environment if this cycle continues. If this small core of players at the top of the leaderboard are able to dominant a majority of the land with such a small amount of players it will NOT blossom for the lack of a better word.

The mechanics have to change. That's where the battles spinning up within an hour or so comes in. If you lose land overnight it matters little. You can just take some back the next day. It's still competitive, the top dogs will still be good and they can still get rich.

But you are all fooling yourselves here if you think it will ever become anything more than it is right now unless there is a way for the 2nd tier corps to operate without getting their faces stomped in and all assets removed within days.

Should the answer be to jump on the bandwagon? Join the new Eon and get carried to relevance? Call me crazy but I think it's more chicken **** to jump on the bandwagon than to lock districts.

This is a small community, there are a TON of players out there with 20 million or more SP and they are stuck grinding pubs and FW because the mechanics of PC make it TOO harsh for them to participate.

I mean let's be honest here. I can take 16 of my top guys and roll a majority of the corps that have districts in PC right now. But when facing AE, FA, or one of the NF ringer teams it's over within minutes. People don't even want to spawn in. The way it works with the timers it's just to easy to coordinate to have a 16 man all star team there. Making the battles spin up within an hour opens the door to more of the Dust playerbase and that is a GOOD THING.

OscarMike made a typical dickhead comment to one of my similar posts about any scrub getting into PC or whatever. But wouldn't that be better to have more people involved in PC?
