Teamwork = RTS? Care to explain? Or are you one of those every man for himself CoD players?

No, maybe RTS isn't exactly the right term. Its more like Risk (or I thought it should be) where you move pieces around the board and strategically plan out coordinated offensives with other player corps.

I liked old school corp battles, and Merc Contracts. But now you have to invade to take a square or nothingGÇªI don't know it seems like its less about skill of individual players perse and more about a team's ability to bleed an enemy before the MCC goes out. Which can be cool at times.

I do admit the matches themselves are just skirmish matches with more skilled people and payout only for the winner. And maybe there is a little bit of Risk in moving those clones around, but only very tiny little bit. Anyway, the way I see it, corporations fighting against each other should never come down to any indivitual soldiers ability, but more to the ability of the leaders. That's just how I see it.

General John Ripper 20070	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:22:00 - [1] - Quote I have never seen anyone do an actual role call for this kind of thing before. What I want to do is gain some insight as to how much of this player base is missing out on dust's competitive side. Please say if you are an active pc player or have played more than 5 games of pc or if you have never played a game. Everytime I get a like, another bug is fixed. Everytime I get a like, Two more bugs are born.
Supernus Gigas sNk Syndicate 757	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:26:00 - [2] - Quote Never been in PC ever. I've pretty much been lone-wolfing it for the year+ I've been playing Dust. *FIRE UP THE HEAVY MEAT GRINDER! WE'RE HAVIN' CLONE BURGERS TONIGHT, BOYS!*
Ander Thedas Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 493	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:28:00 - [3] - Quote I'm not sure how many I've played but if I had to guess 5 is about right. My corp pulled out of PC pretty early when it became clear ringing was the name of the game, only to dive back in when we initiated the FEC war. But after that fell through we become more dedicated to FW and now that's fallen through, too, due to ship-side politics. So, seems like I'm stuck in pubs forever unless someone wants me to ring for some reason. Omnia mutantur nihil interit FW lvl10 reward

MarasdF Loron Fatal Absolution Dirt Nap Squad. 404	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:30:00 - [6] - Quote I play PCs whenever the timers suit me, used to wake up in the middle of the night for PCs but it then struck me: this is just a game after all. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.
Vulpes Dolosus Sver true blood General Tso's Alliance 1394	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:30:00 - [7] - Quote I've played more than 5 but I don't do so regularly. Mainly due to my roles (logistics and vehicleers market is very saturated), my IRL stuff (stupid schooling), and my general disinterest in PC (I don't get much from it, I make more/lose less money in pubs and I can't really merc myself because I'm not well known despite adequately skilled, at least for what I'm charging (only loss reimbursement, call me :) )).

Brokerib Lone Wolves Club 1036	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:39:00 - [11] - Quote Never played PC. Up until 1.7 I was playing FW exclusively (4 months of FW only), but the loyalty store and inability for the Amarr to win a match has broken FW. So now it's just pubs. Knowledge is power
Echoist Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 265	Posted - 2014.04.16 04:42:00 - [12] - Quote I've probably played about four PC matches in total. It's not that I haven't been able to join, rather a choice cause it's just a severely broken feature and you really can't do anything with your district other than harvest it for isk which I don't need. besides, proto suits and guns are boring. More of a challenge using basic and advanced. Noobasaures: "Rawr" STINGY: Yes I did nickname my laser rifle. Owner of a "Insta Bacon Machine" called STINGY

You don't listen to your leaders? o.O Well, there's your problem. Whenever I'm missing tank leadership in PC it's either very close call or it all goes to hell, but when we have that leadership, it all goes smooth. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.

I may decide to give it another try come summer... that is, if not all of the districts are locked and PC becomes stagnant. "By His light, and His will" - The Scriptures, Gheinok the First, 12:32

HowDidThatTaste Ancient Exiles. Dirt Nap Squad. 4576	Posted - 2014.04.16 05:06:00 - [21] - Quote This makes me sad for this game. So many of you are missing out on the most competitive side of dust. Yes there are a lot of problems with PC at the moment, but if you ask anyone who has played with a full 16 of friends/corpmates and had to work together to win a match their is no better dust experience. Squads working together are fun but a whole group of 16 calling out locations renfrcing each other at the different points, coordinating tank movements with drop ship pilots while attainting high ground. Keeping a close eye on the MCC ticks watching the clone count dwindle into unsafe numbers for a battle to be decided by one tick on the MCC by either side, not knowing who won until that victory screen comes up! If any of you have not made a serious effort to get involved in these competitive battles you are really missing out on a great side of dust. As soon as the blue donut comes to an end I'm pretty sure their will be places were equal corps can battler against each other. Spend this time building your core team and make some alliances with other corps you find along the way. Your time is coming

That's fair enough, and was a great aspect of being able to fight on a team comprised of only your buddies with Mics. It was good, but the overall leadership mechanics in place make it a truly daunting task and armor tanking and semi-coordinated zerg rushes can overwhelm many opponents and cause the squads to break down. Maybe I'm just frustrated because I feel it could be more but isn't? The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

I wish there was more opportunity to compete - not just 1-2 games a day per average corp. PLC, NK, Scout - before 1.8. That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.
