Some corps just don't understand that you won't learn if you don't lose. If all you do is hire FA/AE out when on the verge of a flip them you wont learn anything.
Some people just don't deserve anything outside of PFC.

yea man i felt the same way when it was Anon vs everyone elses corps. we attack one corp and fight the entire dust community because people where afraid of losing. but how can you win when ur not familiar with losing was always my question. we didnt get to join pfc when we started we got told to fight eon. and at the time our skill lvl was **** compared to the corps in eon. but we did fight eon and we kept trying till we started winning some and losing alot. practice makes perfect in a real players way of thinking. but other corps just want to farm and not get their hands dirty. why own a district if your not ready to fight for it? how exactly will you get better? because pubs dont and wont help u.

Why do you think smaller corps would start doing PC if locking is fixed?

Zatara Rought wrote:Salviatino Maiano wrote:The entire fight your opponent until you can beat them is a nice thought. Reality is that trying to build up a small corp into PC is close to impossible requires more time in this game than any Dev has ever seen and the constant vigilance to suffer defeats not only on the battlefield but within the corp.
Any time a great player shows up in a small corp they take the beatings until they decide losing isn't fun any more and they promptly leave for larger more well known corps. The talent isn't spread out enough and there isn't enough new talent to begin anew. You can't expect a new corp to progress unless they have the chance to build a fighting group. if they are the same group getting beaten over and over its not a question of whether they have the balls or not, its a question of whether or not they have the sanity to know when to stop..... it is only a game. I dunno took about 3 weeks for me to find enough talent. It's all there in the pubs. Thankfully you have people like 843 Bane and Calisk and xDestruction and Carlos and Fusion Commander and Unique Id that are just 2 examples of people from 3 corps who operate (generally) on a completely different plane than the vast majority of their peers. But despite the people around them not being in the same caliber as them, they stick it out and carry those teams to places they otherwise couldn't reach. Immagine if Kalente had quit AE because after a month of fighting TP AE's record was 4 wins and 13 losses and having been kicked from PC 3x (and only getting in by smashing weaker crops into oblivion like 187.). It's a matter of loyalty and perseverance and most of all hope. And hope is the job of the leadership, they have to sell the dream and keep it alive in their players minds and hearts. 0.02 isk.
With the mechanics of PC as they stand we'll only continue to see small groups of A Teams, whether it's a corp or an alliance dominate.
Now if the timers and the cost of clone packs were different you might see more action from the Dust community.
That and some form of team deploy to allow teams to actually practice in a team setting.
Expecting the other 95% of the player base to figure it out in a few weeks while spending 100s of millions of ISK only to see their corp mates bail to the PC corps that just stomped their faces off is crazy.
Until the people of this war room are more open to lowering the bar a bit with mechanics then PC will only get worse.

Texas Killionaire wrote:Yeah, we've lost plenty, but we've had some awesome victories. Honestly, if I was a new corp, I wouldn't bother with PC until it's 'fixed'. It's a pain in the ass to snipe a district and it's way expensive to clone pack your way into a district. I mean, I guess you could buy a district but where's the fun in that?
well here's a good question.
Allow me to answer it.
Why buy a district?
Texas is right, it IS a pain in the ass to 'snipe' a district. the odds are also stacked against you when attempting to conquer a district thru several clone pack attacks.
Simple math here. 36 million per clone pack. minimum 2 of those, but realistically a lot more. The odds of winning 2-3 clone pack attacks in succession is minimal, as current landholders have what? ISK.
Mercenaries gone Wild in Molden Heath, as everyone has said, so sure maybe u win 1 to 2 matches then that 2nd or 3rd attack where you're geared to flip the district and BAM.. 15 NF show up, or FA, or AE.
I don't care who you are, you aren't beating ANY of us with a clone pack.
your 120 clones are simply not enough vs the top mercenaries in this game.
Its RARELY enough when we go at each other (like I think maybe once?)
these mercenaries are where they are because they KILL..
our current record is cloning a full hub in 2 matches.. that's an AVERAGE 225 kills per match...
purchase a district, while not cheap, is still cheaper and a guarantee of you having land.
Included is a free class on PC mechanics so you don't go in blind.
Of course you are on your own after than, but clone count is the 'key' to Planetary Conquest.
Just ask rampage who sends 444 clones from a full hub, 11 jumps away to hit a district where 196 land... when he coulda waited another 5 minutes and had a full district next door to the same target go online.
My new sig sometimes makes sense

we leave ours online all the time for extended periods.
Rampage jumps the gun and makes a small deposit in his drawers every time he notices 1 of our online districts, that have been online for hours (the part he doesn't realize)
we lock when we have a match at a certain time, or when we are waiting on clone regen. We don't lock to 'avoid' getting attacked, just ask anyone in AE capable of putting more than 3 syllables together to form a word that can be defined in an English dictionary. they camp their own timers to wait til something goes online to 'snipe' our online districts.
quite amusing and always expected, but KEQ, double locking and more diligent about making sure they DONT get attacked than doing anything else.

who didn't think he could?
I mean the man has been surrounded by talent for such a long time, regardless your opinions he sure as $h1t knows talent from minmatar scum...
he understands roles, and understands strategy. He may need some work in self-esteem and security, but even that doesn't affect the ability to recognize needs and see talent to fill those needs in assembling a team.
I know this is not an easy thing, but 1 thing I can say with confidence he learned in his time on dust.
so anyone thinking he couldn't put together a 'solid corp' are probably butthurt trolls, members of the rebel shoeshiner union, or STB, who haven't been able to do this in 2 years, much less 2 months lol

Let me help you. See, once a corp can't lock 10+ districts they're going to start getting attacked by spooky 'no-name' corps. The 'large' corp may hold strong and defend a few times, but eventually a few districts will slip. The big corp will try to reattack, but will have to hire ringers because they have another defend on that same timer and can't field two good squads on a Tuesday night. The big corp will eventually learn that they can only hold a small amount of districts at once with enough money left over for weekly spa treatments. Alliances will form through proximity and 'politics' will be taken to a whole different level.
Makes sense to me anyway.

First, I want to make it very clear this is not an attack. I have a huge amount of respect for Zatara and his abilities to recruit talent, lead them well, and to deal with every day strife that every corp has. Zatara is one of the few true "leaders" in the game and shares company with such greats such as ChicagoCubs, Quick Gloves, Kain Spero, Djinn Kujo, Mavado and a handful of others. The mercenaries in FA are top notch talent and they have proven themselves in battle over and over and over.
With that said lets be fair here about history before trying to judge others. Fatal Absolution was on the verge of being removed from PC just a few months ago. They had taken the losing side of the Prof V war and retribution was close at hand. In order to save themselves (Its the holidays guys!) they locked up and to this very day continue to do so. Again, this is not a attack, it is just a statement of fact. Would FA be around today if they had not taken this action? This action that actually was the event that started the mass locking we have today? We will never know to be honest. Zatara took the necessary action to save his land and save his corp from that potential failscade. I don't blame him but on the same note perhaps we should not judge those whom do whatever is necessary to save themselves in too harsh of a light. We also shouldn't be too preachy. Those in glass houses and all that.
I agree 100% with the sentiment expressed in the OP but on the same note understand why things are the way they are. |

Meh..TBH if AE had hit every district I had I woulda locked up as well. They'd only attack liek 1/2 dozen times.
But I really did only begin locking because the holidays were coming up all my players were going home (Jenova, Kenkaniff, Ninja, a lot of others..) and watching RND get their land taken away only because they refused to lock really rubbed me raw.
I didn't want to lose land simply because the holidays. And even when I left 2 districts online they attacked on New Years Eve and Day and I defended those. That pissed me off. -_-;;

Wolfica wrote:Man all any one talks about is how there are only a few corps in PC. Well you know what suck it up. From the history of dust we can see that during times of war powers change. As well as alliances. AE started on the bottom but they started during a time of conflict, the FEC war. Then outlasted those in power until they left. Then a few months down the road the OH/AE war broke out shortly after a new merc corp made it's first appearance in the PX1/ML skirmishes. FA's goal was not to be the corporation that takes down AE it was formed so that corporations that didn't have a full 16 man A team that could compete with the best this game has to offer could find players that can compete at that level. But now all that PC has turned into is battle between AE. FA. And NF's newly return to PC. 89.9% of every battle for a district turns into another AE vs FA match. Yesterday dystopia killed 24 of our clones out of a 120 clone, clone pack. Then they hire AE and TRE to defend there district. If you wish to be in PC then look at how the people that are in PC got to where they are. It wasn't by starting some **** and saying your the best so I should get a district. It was by being the underdog and working up but if you think PC is just fun and games and making isk. Think again. if you want to be in PC then be in PC. NS and AE only hold 41% of it. There is still a lot to take so snipe a district it's not hard. And before you attack something talk to the leading corps about not ringing against you. But if you use them as ringers then it will just become another FA vs AE match and you will eventually loose your district.
Also think about players you hate seeing on the other side becuse your know your team will most likely lose. Well Guess what this people often ply PC and you will see them. Like today roner going 28/6 in a shotty scout armer stacked and damped. And if you say oh all these players are crap I kill them all the time. They shouldn't be in PC. All I have to say to you is. Where are you ? I would love To see some fresh faces in PC.
I'm done. Time to run some pubs since there's no one hiring for pc's. Maybe AE will hire me. Would be nice to be on the same side as some of those guys again.
See, corporations are not organic creatures, nor are they physical objects. As a result, they cannot grow things such as human genitalia.
