Over the last 3 weeks there has been exactly that above! Every day alliances and corporations were pooling resources to try and attack multiple districts of DNS to take them over. What happened? Besides large number of losses, DNS lost 2 districts, and large numbers of players said they would give up on PC matches because of how UNPLAYABLE it is. Every game lagged harder then ever before seen even with precautions in place (low resoultions set to PS3s, removal of unnecessary chat windows, restarting the ps3 before hand and others).

Preemptive strike against rebuttals:

Lag is an accepted part of PC. Why? How is it acceptable when my vehicles explode in midair from absolutely ZERO enemy fire or when they hit a bump the wrong way? Why does it take me 30 seconds to cross a 10 meter road? Why do I only see what's shooting at me when I die (non-cloak kills).
Get a better connection: I have 75mbps download speed and 30mbps upload speed. Find me a faster connection that a normal civilian like myself can get and afford.
Play through the lag: See #1 above and kill yourself 1,000,000 times over.
HTFU: See #'s 1 and 3 above and kill yourself a billion times over on top of #3.
"well you're obviously not a competitive player"... really? I'm playing an FPS and have the strong urge to throttle enemies with my bare hands if I could. How can I get more competitive?
Get better teammates if you lose all the time: Really? The best of my corporation and/or alliance and that's what you've got to say? 30mil plus SP players are crap players? **** off...

I could keep going but I'm sure that I'm just on a Soap box now and you probably don't want to read it. Or you're the idiotic trolls that you are and have already argued the above points even though I no longer give a ****.

yeah PC does not lag anymore so get back in there soldier.

Really? Doesn't lag any more? really....

Not every client suffers the lag that everyone is talking about so if you're one of the few players that no longer lags congradu-*******-lations to you. If "lag" really is gone from PC... I'll... ****! I'll eat my shoe, shove a carrot up my ass, dance the chicken dance while screaming the star-spangled banner at the top of my lungs AND post it all online! WITH A MOTHER-******* CHERRY ON TOP!

It was at first and now it is just sugar-coated **, spoonfed to the spoiled brats. It needs to be scrapped entirely and reworked from square one. If CCP wants to have something that they can truly be proud of, EVERYTHING about PC as we know it needs to go away. I know they can do it, my only wonder is if they actually have the balls to. Yes!, yeees!, same here, I have nothing to say +1. If you know what a telefrag match is, then I love you. The tritanium I sell is more relevant than dust has ever been.

Maybe they'd be stupid enough to try and make dust that good and fry our ps3's in the process. Also some old patch notes stated that maps were "now unlocked for 24v24" but obviously they haven't optimised it but i personally think they can't, the ps3 has 512mb of RAM lol. every peice of equipment makes unnecessary sound and has a huge glow effect. We had almost all of the useable turrets removed, the useless ones that sit way way back are still there, Why? Idont know what CCPs priorities are but a smmoth fun game doesn't seem to be on the list. Crush them
The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 2920	Posted - 2014.04.27 17:48:00 - [34] - Quote The playercount doesnt matter. MAG had up to 256 players on a single map and yes that was on the PS3. Im sure the devs could decide on the fly if there would be 64vs64 or 32vs32. Even if you bring 10 crap players to a match they would still be outclassed by 5 vets at any given time. And what you guys seem to fail to understand is that there are timers so it is fair for defenders and attackers. The defenders set a reinforce timer, attackers can decide to attack when they got enough numbers on during that time. If both is correct the defending corp gets a notification about the attack and can organise a team. The system has beeing build to allow each side to have a fair 16vs16 fight. Even on eve online there are reinforce timers in nullsec and i highly doubt that the devs will change any aspect from that anytime soon. And nothing is stopping the alliance of scrubs to gather all together and attack all districts from DNS at once. Last time i had a look they set all their districts on the same time. So if you really have the numbers and the ISK then attack all 242 districts at once. You need "only" 3872 players online to fill each match with 16 players.

I don't care about any of that, the most major issue for me is that one alliance has enough isk to troll anyone out of PC forever regardless of skill. So what we have is an end game mode that you'd have to be stupid to even bother with. Well that or stubborn. Oh and 3872 players???? Pfftft I could recruit that in 5 mins mate lol If you know what a telefrag match is, then I love you. The tritanium I sell is more relevant than dust has ever been.
lithkul devant Legions of Infinite Dominion Zero-Day 194	Posted - 2014.04.27 18:11:00 - [36] - Quote I do not need a 64v64, what I would like is an 18v18 24v24 30v30, in other words full 3,4,5 squad match ups and maybe a rare 36v36, to have a full 6 squads on a really huge map, more then these numbers truly are not needed on a game like Dust. Because you can section out the battles onto different quadrants of a planet. Technically if you wanted to you could seperate a planet out into 5 sections and if a huge corp attacks a small corp, can either force the smaller corp to hire mercs or can force them to loose sections of the planet, similar to what happens in real warfare, where numbers do have an advantage. Just by changing how planets are defended and how much of them you have to defend would drastically change up the dynamic, so that 16 players could not fend off a truly huge corp or alliance as easily as they do now. This would also allow more people to enter PC and would require for corps to hire mercenaries if they can not fill the slots.
Funkmaster Whale Ancient Exiles. 1956	Posted - 2014.04.27 18:12:00 - [37] - Quote 1% of the playerbase would only mean around 35 to 40 people, and I'm pretty sure there are more people involved in PC than that In all seriousness, this game suffers from repetitiveness and lack of both scale and persistence. A lot of elite players in many other PC worthy corps have left the game and the few that are left have conglomerated themselves into DNS. If you're a good player, naturally you'd seek to play with other like-minded players, so you see this massive amalgamation of all the competent players that haven't withered away from attrition and lo and behold: PC. The only real way the big blue donut is ever going to be broken is if CCP revitalizes PC somehow to make competition a necessary component of the game. Right now, PC is nothing but a time sink that requires strict scheduling without providing incentive to keep to that schedule. Everyone remaining in PC would much rather just farm ISK than continue to play the same crappy game mode we've been playing for nearly a year now. Follow me on Twitch.tv!
Cyzad4 Blackfish Corp. 310	Posted - 2014.04.27 18:22:00 - [38] - Quote TBH I (and if I were to hazard a guess a large portion of players) have 0 ***** to give about PC. As it is it's nothing more than an isk farm that's expensive to start and doesn't serve any purpose, Other than E-peen waggling rights "Look how many squares of one planet in the entire known universe we own... that umm... doesn't... do... anything...". Until you can start to explore areas you hold or produce goods I just plan on making some popcorn and watching the drama unfold as the doughnut sprinkles eat each other. edit if it does cater to players it likely closer to what? 5-10% however many people actually run Pc. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

But what it can support is multiple, simultaneous battles, all of which contribute to a single objective. Remove the ability for corps to own individual districts, and make ownership happen at the planetary level. To take a planet you need to simultaneously fight for all the districts, and win the majority of them. Some planets should have only one or two districts, some should have eight or ten. Small elite corps will fight over small planets, huge mega corps will fight over large ones. The large corps won't be able to bring their numbers to bear on a small planet, and the elite corps won't have enough players to take the large planets. Most solar system in Molden Heath should have both small and large planets, so to control an entire system requires an alliance with both elite corps and large corps. Also, some of the districts should have really small battlefields and only support 8v8 battles, or maybe even 4v4. RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus

The way I see it is that dust offers some kind of persistence but lacks decent scale warfare, ps2 is the opposite. I am very much looking forward to ps2 but it'll defo get boring. I could play it on my laptop but I'm waiting for the ps4 version. I was playing 180 a side matches in games on my PC back in 2001 lol. Sure some servers were private or hacked to have that many players but the fact remains that console is only just gitting gud and will always be a step behind. Iv just started playing eve which really does make dust lol worthy, a whole galaxy with loads of stuff to do precisely how and when you want to but loldust.

The previous design team distinctly said they don't want numbers to matter. More precisely they did't want the Eve style Zerg assault as an option. Which is a strategy. PC desperately needs more elements of strategy. This game relies too much on Slayer Tactics. In that regard it isn't that much better than COD or Battlefield.

And my laptop is the optimum spec two years ago lol. Phones are on the precipice of being more powerful than the ps3.
