So, PC comes down to who can buy the better ringer crew. 3 ef'n teams run the show in MH. We all know who they are. I understand every alliance has a Strong Arm corp in it, and it seems they do most of the fighting on behalf of their brethren.
All alliances are built around one super corp it seems. This has created a narrow field for MH. You have the corps.alliances that are so good at what they do it just down inexplicably ridiculous. You have the corps that are good in their own right, but when compared to the big 3, it seems they just suck.
This creates mercs jumping to one of the Big 3. So, how is a new corp supposed to form from scratch and reach the endgame? How do decent players every get a chance to get into the Big 3 if the bar is escalating; when if they were given a chance in one of the super corps/alliances, they would no doubt improve just be association.
If a corp starts from the ground up, like many on PFC right now have, they still will never bust into MH because anoyone they put pressure on will just call upon one of the Big 3 to rid them.
This may get me into hot water, but its the best example I can think of.
When I was in 0.H, we attacked a DDB district. 2 matches, we took all but 90 clones from them. They had like almost 500 to begin with. They were just getting manhandled. Now, DDB is not a bad corp, but against what 0.H was employing things just didn't line up for them. 0.H had the better teams going into those matches. So, when it came time for the flip... guess who shows up and puts a stop to 0.H in a hurry....

It's the way everyone predicted it would be back in closed beta. Not enough land to go around - so it's limiting to how many powers can exist at once. If you look at Dust's history - after the original conflicts ended only 3 real alliances ever stood standing with real land holdings at once. Nothings changed. |

Not enough land is bullshit excuses. The problem is that not everyone has the stomach for PC the same way lots of Eve doesn't have the stomach to deal with the stress, politics, and constant nature of SOV.
Constant fighting wears you down if you only have one elite team. Happened to OH. AE managed to keep the pieces together while holding out but they had a lot for players at that level they could swap in...OH for w/e reason relied on it's a-team which led to a bunch of them burning out.
Facilitating corps getting into PC by, for example, relaxing or maintaining the price of clone packs while providing more clones in the pack (150 with perhaps an option to buy 300) would help a lot.
The thing about building a corp is you need to inspire people to follow you and then you have to find enough help to consistently field a team.
Most corps struggle getting enough members interested in PC, or stuggle with recruiting enough players to have a consistent team on, while leading them in learning to love dust514 or their community or w/e keeps you active and playing.
No small feat.
Just as I built FA I could go to another corp and build it the same way...simply looking for talent in the pubs and selling a vision of how i'm going to get them into PC.
That's not to say I'm some great recruiter (though I am pretty damn good), more simply that it doesn't have to be the big three.
There's enough talent in LoI or CI so make a 4th...Hell NF requires OSG's help to be where they are at much of the time.
The problem is simply one of motivation. Do you want it bad enough. And will you make the sacrifices to get there.
I did. It's not impossible. It just took me a month. <3 Immagine if you were actually a charismatic leader who didn't need to chuck nades to be relevant!? o.O
Side note:
We're probably not part of the 'big three' and thus all of this is irrelevant.
Apologies.

Umm...well i dunno every match i see you're using OSG help...primarily SGT Nipples, Navi, Mudflaps, and Waffle.
I suppose i'm to believe OSG doesn't ring with you on many of your matches?
If you didn't need them why use them?

Finding players that are good enough to take on bada** corps is hard to do, considering they can just join said corp instead of trying to see a vision down the road. You had a history in this game, and have made connections, so you were able to pick up good players because of it.
I don't know anyone in your corp that is an "unknown" prior to joining. Even your 'lesser' players I knew of. Perhaps, because I play really close attention to things like that in this game.
Here's an honest question. Because I applied to FA back in the day, you rejected my app (no, not upset about it in the slightest, especially since it was like 3 months ago) Was my app rejected because of my stats? Was it rejected because I didn't have a referral, or some people told you I wasn't good enough? Was it rejected because I was 'unknown' to you?
I know when I look at apps, the first thing I do is ask other directors "who is this player"? Because reputation matters to me. Since I remember lots of names in this game and can categorize them as good or bad, I base a lot of recruiting decisions on it. Names trigger in my brain, and if a name doesn't trigger, then I equate that they must not be that good.
A corp like Quebec United seems to be on the rise, and maybe we'll see them in MH someday, but I don't know a single one of those guys. I can't name one person from that corp so I would never give them a chance probably. Perhaps I rejected some of them in the past, what a terrible mistake that looks like I did.
Reputation is the best way to build a corp, because people don't like taking chances. This leaves small corps that have potential at a glass ceiling, because A-Team clutch crushers don't want to join a "maybe' corp, they want to be in a 'happening' corp.

Every corp in dust can compete in pc. But, of course, not every corp can beat the best corp(s). But honestly, that's why there are players willing to play for a fee.
Building a corp for pc is no easy task and trying to keep your head above the water amongst giants is worse. The problem is good players stacking up in already elite corps tipping the balance in their favor. If you have competent players, the best bet is to push their competitive spirits to be the best they can be. And then to make your team even better by with superb teamwork and tactics.
I've played in clan battles in a few other fps aside from dust and one thing that I can say is that for Dust.....strategy and teamwork is a big factor. It doesn't always boil down to gun game. An inferior gun game corp can beat a superior gun game corp if their tactics/teamwork and will to win is that much higher. Guys just have to want it. But in the case nothing works, you may need to hire a few players to help even the score and hold your district.

Something I think that is really important in any corporation (especially in PC) is the nourishment and development of your ACE players.

What I am saying is they represent your team from a outside appearance, and if used correctly can maintain and heighten morale.

and as for OSG people playing with NF.
our philosophy has changed, well, MINE at least.
I used to be the poster child for things being my CORP, and when needed, we had alliance.
now we have a channel, you can only get in from kane inviting you, and you are frisked, patted down, and your wife and kids are placed under 24 hour surveillance upon you entering.
this channel is our 'corp'
that's it.
when others play matches with us, they are removed right after, and brought back in when used again etc etc.
in those cases we just park an unmarked car outside their house for a spell, sometimes taking your kids to Chuck E Cheese while you are in match, cause we 'care'

Our resident forum roosters have benefited from the rise of district locking. Instead of having to play matches, they have had extra time to work on their distinctive calls and voices. What you are seeing is only the beginning. |

See, here's the thing. DDB isn't bad. Just like STB, Capital LLC, Molan, etc aren't bad either. But when you put them up against who are in a group of 2-3 corps, of course they aren't going to fair well.
Its boiled down to NF, AE & FA fighting each other, even for others' districts.
Plus, there's corps that aren't even in PC that are PC capable to, so long as the other team doesn't just pull in a ringer crew. Its just comes down to 3 corps, who can buy them, and which of those 2 out of 3 can best one another on that given day.
Last time i played NF, I went toe-to-toe with them, especially difficult when it pretty much was 16 v 1 because the corp I was ringing for didn't belong playing the game; let alone PC. But they obviously should have bought FA or AE to try for them. But lets say it was a smaller corp, like Pradox. Pradox's A-team is good... not NF A-team good(NF is nothing but -team -_-) but they are good. They can fight anyone and have a fair shot, until some one decides to b*tch out and have one of the big 3 fight their battles for them, thus forcing Pradox to hire a big 3 too...
How many times have FA and AE faced one another on behalf of others' districts??

I don't agree with this statment. I fought Pradox many, many times and very rarely did they not field atleast 6 AE ringers. Didn't matter if they attacked us or we attacked them, they almost always brought in ringers. Quite a few of those battles only had 2-3 Pradox with the rest being AE ringers.

I don't agree with this statment. I fought Pradox many, many times and very rarely did they not field atleast 6 AE ringers. Didn't matter if they attacked us or we attacked them, they almost always brought in ringers. Quite a few of those battles only had 2-3 Pradox with the rest being AE ringers.
Go look and see how many people are in Pradox One... its like 30, of course they are going to use ringers

During my time in R*, we fought px1 for weeks. For the first few matches they would use their own people and get smacked around. Next thing you know every match is 1-6 px1 with NS, oh, ae. So I can't agree that their a team is good I'd they won't show up for attacks.
I had a brief stint in pradox after rs moved on for a while and they would sit ppl for ringers constantly. Disgrace imo.

I've said it before, but even when I was in Gunfall and they were allied with SVER, they'd bring AE and TeamPlayers ringers. Yet they were strong enough to beat us without the ringers.
Chuckles Brown wrote:But when you put them up against who are in a group of 2-3 corps, of course they aren't going to fair well.
Its boiled down to NF, AE & FA fighting each other, even for others' districts.
Plus, there's corps that aren't even in PC that are PC capable to, so long as the other team doesn't just pull in a ringer crew. Its just comes down to 3 corps, who can buy them, and which of those 2 out of 3 can best one another on that given day.
Last time i played NF, I went toe-to-toe with them, especially difficult when it pretty much was 16 v 1 because the corp I was ringing for didn't belong playing the game; let alone PC. But they obviously should have bought FA or AE to try for them. But lets say it was a smaller corp, like Pradox. Pradox's A-team is good... not NF A-team good(NF is nothing but -team -_-) but they are good. They can fight anyone and have a fair shot, until some one decides to b*tch out and have one of the big 3 fight their battles for them, thus forcing Pradox to hire a big 3 too...
How many times have FA and AE faced one another on behalf of others' districts?? A lot, I can't even count. It does get annoying fighting the same people over and over, but we adapt and HTFU.

Yup we sure did and probably will still use ringers when we don't have enough guys x'ing up for pc. Also, it's kinda f*cked to call in ringers then say "hey sorry about that but, near the last 5 min before the warbarge some dudes decided they wanted in so, I guess we don't need you and just wasted your time for nothing".
However, I can't remember claiming ML didn't use ringers, nor am I hate bashing Pradox for using ringers. What I did do was call chucky Mc Diarrhea on his BS statement about Pradox. The rare times I have fought them (as in 13 or more on thier team) it was close match and very fun. But, I disagree with him saying "they only bring in "big 3" ringers when the other side does". As a point of fact, we did have to call FA in because they kept bringing in "big 3" ringers.

On form of farming involves abusing broken mechanics to stay irrelevant. *Cough*
The other form of farming is working with the community to set up an official form of governmental body for PFC to regulate and control. Allowing a more flexible PFC control and giving vet corps a reason to want to help PFC.
You're right, ML's farming does suck compared to ours. Lol |

From my perspective the state of PC can be more frustrating for individual players than corps much less alliances.
In my limited experience it normally does come down to a relatively small pool of players that control PC. If you are in a smaller corp or smaller alliance you can probably field a 16 person team but the talent disparity can be prohibitive which generates the market for ringers. I think it's a great thing there is a market for this service since it's a key component of building the Dust component of New Eden.
One of the trickle down effects of few corps being involved and few actually using their own members is that it's tough to get consistent PC experience for individuals...playing with and against varsity players and the tactics involved are a big factor in simply getting better as an individual. The more ringers you use the less you develop your own team...again not evil but something few corps consider.
For most of you involved in this discussion you are part of the relatively small pool of players. There are a lot of folks dotted across the numerous small to mid-size corps that want more competitive play and/or working actively to up their game and it's difficult to get on the field.
I like the difficult ladder; you have to want to be involved and develop your game. That said, not a lot of opportunities out there at the moment.

Finding players that are good enough to take on bada** corps is hard to do, considering they can just join said corp instead of trying to see a vision down the road. You had a history in this game, and have made connections, so you were able to pick up good players because of it. I don't know anyone in your corp that is an "unknown" prior to joining. Even your 'lesser' players I knew of. Perhaps, because I play really close attention to things like that in this game. Here's an honest question. Because I applied to FA back in the day, you rejected my app (no, not upset about it in the slightest, especially since it was like 3 months ago) Was my app rejected because of my stats? Was it rejected because I didn't have a referral, or some people told you I wasn't good enough? Was it rejected because I was 'unknown' to you? I know when I look at apps, the first thing I do is ask other directors "who is this player"? Because reputation matters to me. Since I remember lots of names in this game and can categorize them as good or bad, I base a lot of recruiting decisions on it. Names trigger in my brain, and if a name doesn't trigger, then I equate that they must not be that good. A corp like Quebec United seems to be on the rise, and maybe we'll see them in MH someday, but I don't know a single one of those guys. I can't name one person from that corp so I would never give them a chance probably. Perhaps I rejected some of them in the past, what a terrible mistake that looks like I did. Reputation is the best way to build a corp, because people don't like taking chances. This leaves small corps that have potential at a glass ceiling, because A-Team clutch crushers don't want to join a "maybe' corp, they want to be in a 'happening' corp.

Agreed, hopefully when changes are made to PC in the future it will allow a larger pool of players to be involved without being instantly wiped out of PC by the small number of corps that can hold the majority of MH. |

kind of an ass backwards way to do things...
I remember the days... alliance corp has a match.
a little before they holler at alliance 'NEED 3 for PC'
later on we actually made a separate PC channel so the players better prepared would be there.
worked pretty well for a long time.
but also worked pretty well because once in, you weren't sat.
then again that was ALSO the days of corps fighting their own battles, with assistance from the alliance when needed.
VERY rare case we were called on to take a match. too much pride for everyone to ever ask that, and we never, NEVER imposed that.
nowadays, we're mercs. if we Are called upon its as a team. sometimes a squad will make some moves, but we are neutral in all things, and your isk is what buys our loyalty 20 minutes at a time...
im fine either way. and always respect those that still have a sense of pride (yes Cap Acq.. that is TRuF)
