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.

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.

No place for assault suits.

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.

This merc speaks truth.

I played 3 or 4 PC battles, wasn't impressed. Now that the ISK faucet is gone, there's really no point beyond epeen and chest beating.

The thing that annoys me with it is the elitism of "pc corps" and the PC 1337 kids shitting up every balance thread with "fuk pubs, this would be OP/UP in PC, balance the game for PC, if ur not in PC corp ur scrub ur game experience doesn't mean anything, fuk if u have fun or not kekekekekekekekekek"

It's like.. dude, stuff it. The 95% of us who aren't doing PC want a fun game.

I like nova knives and sniper rifles. If that's not "viable" in the "competitive" game, then forget the competitive game, I'll stick to my pubs where I can stab and snipe without some FC telling me what I need to do to be "useful."

PC is where this game is meant to be - where this game is meant to evolve and bring interest. The lobby shooter the '95%' of you play, isn't Dust. It's just the mechanics of Dust used to better help CCP gain data to balance and fix the game.

That's just some stupid elitist bullsh!t right there. It's like saying the only thing EVE is meant to be is Nullsec. Pubs are what have kept Dust alive, without them there wouldn't be enough players to justify so much as replacing the light bulb in the battle server room.

What's sad is you guys feel like your as invested in this game as we are, you're not. Not even close.

This is an MMOFPSRTSRPG. In what part of that does it say LOBBY SHOOTER? Because that is what casuals are trying to do to this game, turn it into nothing more then that. And the QQing is probably what took CCP off there original course for content and concentrated on core mechanics that were almost PERFECT a ******* YEAR ago.

I know you guys feel empowered because your many, and those of us who can handle PC are few, but accept it. This was the vision CCP themselves had. The Lobby shooter aspect was all you guys were getting to enjoy the mechanics, while the real game happened in Planetary Conquest and Faction Warfare.

That is not elitism, that is an amazing game. The Lobby Shooter your fighting for the causal for is what will kill this game ultimately because there will be no appeal to play outside what can be done in match - but Dust is meant to be so much more, so much harder, and you guys just keep crying to dumb it down.

Now PC is broken beyond belief and CCP can't put enough attention on it because the majority of our players are now casuals cause all the PC players quit out of rage of fanfest. So all there attention is on the immediate problems of the so called 'community' as is usually there focus. Which is fine, NPE need such work PC can take a back seat easily, but denying what this game is about, that is something I'll troll you for.

What's sad is you guys feel like your as invested in this game as we are, you're not. Not even close.

Though, in your case Thumb Green, there'd be an exception. You've been around quite a while, lol.

It's still not elitist to say any of this - that's some insane bullshit to even think so.

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.

They might have wanted to call it an MMO/FPS/what have you but it's been a lobby shooter since the beginning. Casuals didn't make it that way, CCP did. They made this game to primarily attract casuals so they could sell AUR to the majority of casuals that would get their asses handed to them by the handful of hardcore players.

Nope never. Admittedly I am a bit curious at the idea of playing with a team that actually plays as a team, but that curiosity is cancelled by the prospects of nothing but cloaked scouts and heavies.

However thinking about it, you are right in the sense that a proper battle commander could use the tactical overlay map (Much like a commander would in the Battlefield series of games) and coordinate strategy and team position etc....

I've just never seen that be done myself (are there PC teams that are that deep?)

logis are very common in pc. assaults to a lesser degree but there are still at least 3-4

Logis are fine. It's 3 logis repping a proto heavy with 1000+ armor which pisses most people off.
