How about your third world education level.
Please do not waist you time on a guide if your going to use your 1st grade righting skills.

dyslexia is a fight i don't feel like undertaking today.

i dont bring my A game to shitpost on the forums sir.

A game??????

I am talking about 1st grade basics like starting sentences with Capital letters.
Oh and BTW these forums even have spell check for you and underline misspelled words for you to review and fix.

LOL A game!

if it so offends you then please by all means edit my posts and repost them in their entirety for me to copy/paste.

ill pay 1 isk per word to not have to give a ****.

Who are you again?

You still live with your mommy don't you?
Pssst, look in a mirror.
You see that neck full of hair?
Yeah that is what is known as a neck beard and contrary to what you mommy might be telling you, no that will never get you laid.

*eats taco*

i was also so damn disapointed at the lack of organisation and tactics that i just say out of PC. that and i have thrid world internet due to canadas wonderful monopoly that grants us 5% of the speed for 500% of the price of third world countries.

A guide on PC tactics, prepare for a lot of criticism...

I play multiple PC's daily and i have not seen you on the other side or on my side ever in the past months. PC tactics change constantly with updates and hotfixes. if you are not up to date might as well not make a guide.

WAS or IS still that bad? I've always been kinda curious about PC but since I don't really talk to anyone in game and my corp consists of me and 3 friends none of which play anymore my options are somewhat limited.

I feel ya on the crap connection thing, I'm downtown T.O. and it's ok'ish for the part but good luck doing anything on a sunday.

IDK about famous but I know who you are... admittedly that doesn't likely help lol

I agree about the tactics changing -- that is very true.

Ghost is a quality player, however, with a good tactical/strategic head on his shoulders -- no doubt about that.

Ghost would be welcomed with open arms in ML, and if he wanted to play for us he only needs to put in an application. We generally don't pay people for their services, however, so there's that.

i feel so left out after having been here for so long.

Ive been thinking of doing a guide full of Advance teambuilding/squad/TeamComp/Map/FC tactics complete with pictures but its going to take a LOT of work since i was planning on detailing map dinamics with color coded spots for positive and negative cover, attack lines, and natural battle line formation.

was just wondering if it was something that was in demand since theres a lot of good stuff ive collected over the years that would help out struggling PC teams, aspiring commanders, and vets alike.

It really won't. What would be useful, right now, would be a straightforward written guide that introduces new FC's to the core strategic ideas that are going to be necessary for PC:

- How you're going to layout your team, basic composition ideas. The new FC should walk away with the guide with a firm understanding that s/he MUST have a rough composition and strategy before the game starts.

- How you need to start a match, with particular emphasis on how to build your team for speed capturing objectives and laying uplinks. Again, and FC should walk away understanding that the beginning 30s of a match must be executed well for your team to have a ghost (the puns!) of a chance of winning.

- The basics about drop ships, uplinks, and other spawning measures. In the current climate it's essential that any aspiring FC understand the crucial nature of spawn points and placement.

- Vehicle basics, including an emphasis on how losing infantry members on-the-ground is a serious cost for calling in a tanker/ADS pilot/whatever.


Essentially what you want is the "here's the bare minimum of what you need to play PC competitively" guide.

I started in on writing a document like this, but didn't find the time to finish it. It seems that I've thrown away all my notes, which is also a bit unfortunate as I'd offer them to anyone who's seriously looking at providing some documentation.


To your question about color coded maps, attack lines, and "natural battle line formation", all of that will be too detailed for anybody who needs documentation to make use of. Only a very small number of people are going to decide that they want to start a team into PC, a smaller number will come to the forums or wherever else and find your documentation, and then an even smaller number will have the mental tenacity to digest that type of guide.

Those FC's who already have a grasp of the tactics and logistics probably aren't going to find something like this particularly useful either. Map colorations and battle lines? If you're already experienced, you know what's going on. If you're not, then there's very little way that you're going to look at material like that and be like: "Oh, the next level." Maybe if we had a glut of middle-tier PC teams looking to step it up to the next level that type of material might be useful. At the present though? The split looks more bimodal: There are a lot of newer teams that don't understand basic Skirmish strategy, such that they'll instantly lose to any team that does. Then there are a core of teams who do understand those strategies, and they're pretty much the "top" teams that are left playing by this point.


If you end up making that introductory guide then I will call you Dust famous at least. ;3

...a lot of good feedback...

share?

share?

Sure.

Good to see you, Leither.

Where have you been?

Miss playing with you, bro.

there same core problems with the game that have stuck around for the last 1.5 years haven't been touched much.

PC changes are sounding interesting, though it's still a bad sell that they're doing PC before Fac War.

yes you are. welcome to the big leagues

your like count looks a little peckish, so i donated you one

Exactly. Fix the framerate issues in PC before you add new maps just causing more problems.
