Played a couple of them as a filler (wouldn't call myself a ringer), and they were actually better than pubs. However my problem with PC at the moment is that it seems to be a big corp exclusive.
Yes smaller corps can pay guys like me or some decent ringers and can attempt to win, but most of the smaller corps don't have enough ISK to pay for ringers or to even engage in PC.
I really wish they bring back Corp Battles.

I enjoy the added sense of urgency and the vastly improved teamwork on both sides. And there's nothing more entertaining than seeing some good old fashioned Awox shenanigans first hand. |

I've played a fair few PC's
Can't say its really my thing but when the corp has need I like to help out.
Overall I like the overall better level of competence (no offence blueberries) but I can't stand that large parts of the game are simply not viable on that level. Which brings me on the the aspect that really irritates me - If its broken and gives an edge then people are going to do it. Its an odd mix of both frantic and action packed whilst simultaneously also dull.

I played it a few times awhile back, but I don't care much to do so again. I follow the news every once awhile and my thoughts is that there is a lot of cheese . |

I played some PC's a while back. At the time I enjoyed them a lot because it actually felt like I was fighting for something. Now that we all know Dust's PC isn't going to have any impact on New Eden, they're just expensive corp battles for bragging rights.

I haven't played in PC for quite a while. It no longer holds interest for me. The rewards aren't great enough; my main complaint is the accessability. To me, it always felt like there was no room from smaller corps to be involved, and if they managed to do so, they were steamrolled continually day after day until people can no longer afford to participate.
Keep in mind my experiences are about 8+ months ago; not sure of the current status.

Played a few. Hate working with some groups, love working with others.
It's way better than pubs because of the rush, and the payout is nice, too. Thing is, most matches are late at night and I don't really care to play aggressively when I should be getting sleep.
I'd rather stick to pubs where I can get a match at any time. |

Played, fun, lag, to much roof top. Dont like the attitudes it creates. Elitism. People who dont realize pubs are waaaaaaay more important for the health of a game than PC. Just like ANY game.
This is an alt. It is here to be banned, so that I may be outrageous and speak the TRUTH.

The rewards have made it tougher for new mercs to get involved (not impossible)
I think people have been scared off of PC and without incentive to try get active they won't
I think the PC community is happy to see more corps bringing teams into battles
So now is a good time to get active as the there are mercs that will help you stay active,
Though I highly advise against ringers (it removes the chance for a new team to learn)
And they end up getting carried for a few wins then left without help they cannot hold on
PC is flawed but two things mercs should consider
- Dust may not be active in a years time, enjoy it while you can
- PC is a gamble. mercs deploying should be aware you are laying ISK on the line .. You may lose it
It's a good experience and it is a shame so much of our playerbase misses out on it.
There are corps in Molden Heath than can assist in getting land for corps to train on, it's good to start from there

Played as a logi in two. There were nothing but Brick Sentinels, their logis, and FOTM-build scouts. I decided that I actually preferred pubs. (You still get ISK even if you lose + dumb spam tactics are more easier countered)

I regularly ADS for Molon and sometimes other Corps in Tso's.
It's much more fun than Pubs. I enjoy the actual teamwork required, the rewards (boatloads of cash, though it doesn't mean too much to me, and salvage is always exciting), and actually having competitive matches that aren't one-sided all the time. I can't count how many close calls, single ticks, and skin-of-our-teeth clone reserves we've had, some won, some lost, but all exciting.
My only real nagging problem is the lag some matches. I really think the lag reduces my ADSs agility, not just framerate. Other issues exist as well but those are for another thread.
Dust was real! I was there!

I've done about 20+ PCs. From what I've seen, PCs are...
- A great oppurtunity to waste proto suits.
- A good way to find out how OP the Shotgun/Scout combo can be.
- A time to run against full squads of protoheavies with logis on their tails
- A way to earn a sh*tload of ISK. (if you win)

I played PC once or twice I dont recall. I avoid playing PC... Why? It is laggy, it is riddled with FOTM, if you are not obliterating your enemy you lose money... a lot of money, and overall it's is very irritating. I like how competitive it is, I just hate the current tactics that make it competitive.

I remember I did a PC where I went on a militia scout frame for the whole match.

PC is fun IMO. The competition is much better than pubs (when the enemies show up) and the teamwork is amazing. Even if we lose a match, I'm fine with that if it was a good fight.

Played it a few times at different points in the past.
I'll have to say it was the most fun when it wasn't dominated by a small selection of tactics, in the very beginning. Then it was alright.
Since then, I've never really gotten the appeal. It has basically become the proving grounds for the OP stuff in that particular patch since then. Not a test of skill anymore.
It's a test of who can use the cheapest tactics/most OP gear, with the winners getting an endless ISK faucet. |

I have not played PC, but from my experience no one wants a drunk sniping and flying DS for the lols. Also, I am confident enough in the size of my c*ck that I do not need to measure it nor do I feel the need to own make-believe property.
I mean, it isn't like the maps and game modes are any different. It is like WoW. Same mobs only more powerful.
Am I the only one that keeps thinking of Mr. Roger's neighborhood of make-believe when Molten Heath being locked down was ever mentioned?
Also also, Molten Heath is lols. Give me Providence control and PI and maybe I'll bite.

Assaults are actually really effective on Bridge map and a few select areas like "B" on 3in 2out cargo but out side of that they can barely compete against clusters of heavies and constantly getting RE spammed and shotgunned.

IMO, it was more interesting fighting for a 'purse' of ISK in Corp Battles than PC salvage.

I had my first PC battle with gods earlier this week. It was actually easy probably because everyone was running militia lol. However, you get rewarded greatly like 2 mil sp and tons of salvage.

I've done it 3 times. I received no enjoyment out of it.
Plus, no one wants a regen-tanked Assault with breach weapons. That's the problem: it's just a contest of who can spam FoTM gear better. It feels like the fun is sucked out of it and everyone simply desires the victory and nothing else.
So I'll just continue running public matches and chillin' with the angry tanker. (Panda Uzimaki)
