I've played maybe 4 or 5 PC matches total. Only in ONE match did I at all think this was a good game/game-mode and that was probably due to the fact that my entire team lacked the massive lag that we usually get. Did we win? No, I have never won a single match of PC. The reason? Outside of the one decent match against just better PC players, every match has been rife with lag.
Teamwork? Kind of hard to do when you when you "BrotherofHavok died()" while walking to a point. Tanks fall through the ground, LAVs explode before you even hit the accelerator, dropships have exploded mid-air so suddenly and powerfully that I have become a witness to the mystical god of Dust that is the Cube! It's rubix Cube glory is unlike any other.
Of course, this topic discussion isn't even the point of this is it? If CCP fixed every lag issue, fixed every suit and weapon so there were no such thing as FOTM would I choose to go back to PC? No.
- The passive isk farming is a deterrent. It's exactly like Eve's SP gain where it encourages players not to play on a regular basis until enough SP (dust case is isk for PC districts) has been accumulated to perform the way you want.
- Competitive? No more so then Pub matches or Faction Warfare.
- Best of Corp versus Best of Corp? Why should my corp (extension through me from taxes) spend so much isk to get a couple of battles a month to do this? why not just q-sync on the Oceana servers? Why not just go to Faction Warfare? Send advance notice to another corp... a "declaration of war" if you would.
- Competition is almost purely wallet wise. How much isk can one side afford to lose on this match? Generally current PC district holders or players who have no life have the bigger stick to beat me down with.
- Winner takes all. You know what? It's just not worth it. PC is the greatest chance to lose isk with the lowest chance of making it back (unless of course you take the district and no one ever attacks you).
Conclusion? Even if PC is "fixed" I probably won't go back to it. Ever.
Sincerely,
Your Multi-purpose Everything User
