Welcome to every online competitive game there is. To be the best, you need to have skill, hardware, and 20-40 ping.

Funniest. Thread. Ever.

Dropping an Orbital Strike when a PC starts is fair, right?
Using BPO and saving ton's of ISK if fair, right?
Buying AUR items is not punished neighter restricted AFAIK. Right?
Are you living in a third world country? Are you going to blame God for that?

I live in third world countries, my network is poor, the Ping 400~600, but I can kill u as a dogpÇé

I will try to make this as professional and coherent as possible. Please be patient, because it aggravates the living hell out of and I've complained about it(privately) for awhile now.

During PC matches, we have enemy players with dropships midfield before half of our own team even loads into the game. This can only be attributed to a high-speed internet connection and solid state HD and provides an unfair advantage to these players.

CCP, this is what you need to do to fix the issue. If anything, in PC matches to start. Program a 15 second game delay for all players. Other mainstream games do it...I have faith you can, too. This will allow all systems to load the needed data and it will level the playing field for both teams. It is absolutely ridiculous that one force can have troops at a mid-field objective before 15 of the opposing players even see the initial deployment screen.

Dude this is not counter strike.

Most of the times it does not matter who is first at a certain objective.
It matters how well organized the group is when they approach it.

The enemy is faster? WHO CARES!

Have a good intel and fight them away.
Those seconds do not matter. Preparation does.

You obviously haven't played in a PC where an enemy dropship with spawner gets to your home objective on the top of a hanger before your team spawns in. I don't care how prepared you are, how coordinated...you are set back at least 25% of the game just trying to clear the hurdle that has been presented due to the fact one guy with a dropship had a solid state drive.

I have an SSD and while it does get me in the game faster it doesn't make a huge difference for me(maybe 3 seconds). What made it worth it was that the game used to pause in a match every once in a while when it loaded something new - it doesn't do that anymore.

What you are likely seeing is the bargain basement HDD that Sony puts into PS3s is giving you issues(HDD performance varies greatly between models).

As mentioned earlier. Don't get yourself to much in a hurry.

I have seen that in so many games.
People think "Oh I need to be very fast there otherwise all is lost".
And all people from both parties thought so.
I remember a map in counter strike where the people were able to count the seconds that need to past to throw a grenade in a certain alley to hit the people that were running through.

And the funniest part was:
When you were able to calm your team, hold back and do not play this style;played your own style;
the enemy team was confused.

To make a long story short, adapt your tactics...
Or keep thinking in one dimension, it does not matter for me.

I just tried to give another perspective.
