It wouldnt be one corp it just be less corps. Like a corp with one person in it defeats the purpose of team game play.

What I meant was that some people don't want to be in a corp with certain other people. And some people have multiple corps they wouldn't want to be in because of certain people. If the consolidated corps have so much as one person I don't want to be associated with in each one then what am I going to do? I'll tell you, I'm going to make a new corp.

How does a one man corp defeat team game play? People don't have to be in the same corp to work together; Hell, most of the squads I play in have 3-4 different corps represented in them.

Corps grow big and die, it's a sad fact.

If you really want less corps than you may have a problem.

The bigger the dog the faster they die.

See there in lies a problem with the game. Noone likes a corp so they all make new ones while the big corps stomp smaller ones and people b!tch about getting one sided matches. Well if thats how yall want it then quit ur b!tching and moaning when ur on the loosing side of a random unorganized corps team.

My corp has a purpose, your corp does not.
I'm assuming if they listened to you my little corp would be torn down and I'd be placed in a PC corp?

Not even, you corp would be torn down, and the players with the best KDR would be taken into the large PC corps. The others would be forced to join the other large corps with a 25% tax rate, or run solo.

The bigger the dog the faster they die.

Then get rid of tax. If thats whats holding you back. If a corp wants to do a pc then players can pay a fee to get in. The fee would not exceed a certain amount and would be kept low. Like 100k Idk. No tax or a very low tax not to exceed 15%. Idk its hard to get people to get brainstorming on pub stompers so its not one sided.

You really want more corps in PC?

Start having your corp give up some of it's districts.
Start pushing for the other large corps to give up some districts.
Follow the never take a corps last district rule ( which Molon Labe already does, props to you guys)
Attack the PC corps that make it their goal to try and take a corps last district

Really, the only way that we will get new corps into PC is by breaking up the empires of the large names, and start issuing out districts. As far as we can tell, CCP won't change anything about PC so it's up to us. It won't be PC anymore if you do this though. It would just be scheduled, high risk pub matches between corps.

Have you seen the current state of PC?

New corps have all the breathing room they need and still don't get in. The issue now is the game just plain sucks and is not worth that investment. The new PC update coming will make or break PC. If it sucks - PC will be quite literally dead as the last 10 corps in PC will be down to 5.

Yea, it's bad, but the people not in it don't see that. From the outside, PC still looks like this big thing. Some people may just need a "Hey, want to get into PC? We'll give you a district." and then maybe they'll decide to join. Who knows though.

Find me a corp that doesnt tax for PC and has a few districts. Im guessing most corps tax cuz they need isk for clones. If the corp is making isk off the districts then tax shouldnt be applied. Stompers in pubs need to face other stompers not the stomped. This is harder than it seems cuz people have issues with corps about everything. Tax, people, bad teamwork, whatever. Maybe get rid or corps all together or have so many so you complain about getting stomped when a big corp rolls a pub 74 to 0 like in ambush.

Game needs population first before you try to separate people.

Otherwise you'll find a lot of games nearly empty.

Sadly, until CCP does something to build interest in PC nothing on our side can be done to fix it.

Agreed.


There needs to be an expansion. Something too large for any one alliance to hold. Borders would develop, and there'd be corps over extending and losing to corps they'd never lose to due to player coverage.


We could just do away with timers.

Remove the timers and let PC be a FFA land grab!

Clone packs prices? FREE!

The fun is playing the 16 vs 16 organized matches anyways.

The fights would be GLORIOUS! Give takeover bonuses and bonuses to taking more than one district in a single day!

Adding districts is a terrible idea. It will just lead to more farming because there are not enough corps willing to throw away 100 million on a district that will instantly be at risk because of their smaller size.

Timers are an absolutely horrible mechanic and the single largest reason why I do not bother with PC.Everyone uses the rationale of well you have good fights but the simple fact is one good fight is not worth me rescheduling my day to be on Dust at one specific time for a fight.

See you have bought into the forum propaganda that spreads.

The Problem with PC isn't players playing the game that they have been given... It's CCP.

History.. Before PC came out back in Open Beta. The Illustrious "Chromosome" patch everyone recalls of so fondly.. There was a very active mechanic in operation called "Corporation Battles". DUST at this point only allowed 8vs8 in corporation battles.

The Reward? 0isk 0 SP *\o/* .. It was practice that was on going since closed beta.. We where practicing for PC.. And all the glory that CCP promised us.


This is the old guard of DUST. The people who went into PC day 1, and then adapted for a year of playing PC.. Hoping it would get better. People started quitting around this time as CCP's Executive producer quit and the staff wasn't talking to anyone.

We got dropped the bomb that is aim assist and Scotty the matchmaker... Lost a good 1/3 of the the PC crowd there... Competitive shooter with aim assist forced on you really ruins the point.

Then we had a resurgence with CCP Rouge getting hired and the new big patches coming out.

Then? CCP Rouge pretty much said they are shutting major development down for DUST. PC Corps big and small packed up everywhere.. PC has been an empty shell since.


-How does this play into New corps not coming up into PC?

Where in DUST does it teach you how to run tactics, Pick team mates for class role and squad... Have 16 active Mic's and people communicating, Possibly more with EVE support. working together, following orders... etc... etc.. etc..


Where is the step up that even helps them learn how to get there?

CCP has installed a 400 foot wall of learning curve for up and coming corporations to even aspire to PC.... They would have to enlist old guard PC members to even be able to stand a chance of holding letters.

This isn't about players having to hand a fresh to PC corporation a district and baby them...

It's about CCP Understanding Pub's don't teach team work and how to apply DUST skills to a PC 'like' environment in anyway.
