The problem with PC has nothing to do with any donut or passive isk or the clone pack price.
The problem with PC has to do with ringers.
Only allow corp members to participate, limit corp hopping, and make more highly variable the production of clones.
Viola, PC problems are solved.
But what do I know? |

But what do I know? Wat part of DUST514 IS A MERCENARY GAME DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET??????? Trying to play soldier is probably closer to the problem then people playing a game that tells them they're supposed to be mercs.
Oh I get it just fine, Sota. I just think that mechanism has an inherent instability that's been present since day one and has yet to be overcome.
As I understand it, in Eve, you can't instantly teleport from one battle to the next, yet in Dust you can. This has allowed a consolidation of power that is damaging to the game, IMO.
Do you think today's merc-friendly PC is in a good place?
I don't. |

We've been trying to implement "creative solutions" for what, a year now. How's that gone?
What part of broken PC don't you get?  |

So I guess you don't have any creative ideas, but instead prefer to troll....yet I'm the one lacking social skills and thinking powers?
You are certainly entitled to your opinion, please allow me to retort in a way you seem to prefer and with the words of someone wiser than us both:
Any fool can condemn, criticize, and complain, and most do.
Are you a fool?
What's your solution? |

I'm calling you out on creativity, beause you've offered, well, nothing but criticism.
Moving past that, I don't think it's tunnel vision, and I'm not punishing anyone. To the contrary, I thought it was a creative way to implement PC in a way that takes what works in other games and apply that to the unique universe of PC/MH -- but I suppose that's a matter of perspective. Of course, if you're one of the few that have profited from the unbalanced game/broken PC mechanics, I can see why you might consider it punishment and/or tunnel vision.
If you have such great social skills, attract other players to your cause, and dominate. You will still have the freedom to interact with others how you please, but you have to choose a team and play with them to get better as a group (you know, requiring social skills), rather than jumping ship to the highest bidder.
If my ideas reek of tears, it's because I think this game can be so much more, but we're saddled with a universe and competitive gameplay that's simply broken, and, frankly, always has been -- and that is sad...at least from where I sit.
Again, if you have any bright ideas, I'm all ears.... but if you would rather troll, please find another victim... |

I would never do that...unless you do it first. That's not the way I roll. (I know, my troll-fu is weak. :) )
I'm in a bit of a rush now, but will comment in depth later on your idea.
In the meantime, I thank you for taking the time to post it....Lead |
