I just dont get invited anymore. :(
I use to PC all the time with all the old EoN corps. We had a lot of fun.
I would occasionally join some squads to be friendly with folks and all seems well, but no one wants me to play with them, I guess.
I think I'm a half decent pubber, and I always did very well in PC. Consistently putting out 2.5 to 3.5 k/ds.
I wouldn't compare myself to Michael Jordan, Lebron James, or Kobe Bryant; but I'd make a decent Rajon Rondo, Kevin Durant, or Tim Duncan. (Comparing PC to basketball)
I'd say I'm a good player. I know the ins and outs.
This old Giant would love to PC on the regular. But no one invites.
I would assume it's like that for other old vets too.
I see a lot of older guys just drifting around. They don't wan to leave corp, but wouldn't mind hopping inand ringing every now and then.

Hello there!
I'm more than willing to play PC. :)
Any corp that doesn't mind a small visitor to ring for them every now and then?
Murphys? (Im in your pub channel every day.)
FA?
Titans?
1up?
Any other smaller corps that wont mind a friendly player every now and then?
^^
I am in the U.S. and would prefer to ring for North American corps on grounds of lag, etc. But I am open to help all.
I was PC-ready BEFORE PC existed. I made my wealth, left, and I'm still PC-ready.
I understand how important clear comms are. Good communication is vital. Not a bunch of screaming and cursing every time you get killed. I'm not new at this at all. Old Giant at your service. ^^

I'm still just seeing excuses.
If you don't PC because of lag, then I'll tell you what we did back in early PC, when half to entire teams were timing out mid-match.
1. Restart your PS3 before every PC match.
2. Organize PC matches for your alliance to be regional if at all possible. You can't be NA and then try to challenge an Oceanic corp to PC, then fuss about lag. That's idiotic.
3. Set your servers in options. (Arguable effects on PC, but some reported success doing this.)
4. Turn off other shlt in your house that uses bandwidth.
If you don't PC because of bigger corps:
1. Negotiate with bigger corps for a district or two. They will let you have one to try your hand at PC.
2. Join an alliance. So that you have many corps to pull ringers from.
3. Set your timers at inconvienient hours.
4. Attack your own district with a sub-corp to occupy time until you have better reinforcements. (This is also a good method for a corp to practice for PC, and learn the ins and outs of their territory. Some of your members move to the sub-corp for practice.)
There is a workaround for nearly every complaint.

That's a system similar to Planetside 2. Which is a good system, but how exactly would that translate into Dust with Dust having so many districts? Not just 3 big ones. Much of what Dust is more what "it has to be" rather than what "it was intended to be", due to PS3 limitations.
What you have mind is something we may see in Legion.
If you don't play PC because it's not like PS2... then I don't know what to say.

I like this game for its customization. I want to be able to play how I want to play when I want to play. That doesn't mean I won't try to help my team, but I really don't see the point in burning tons of protofits for maybe a reimbursement? Too many things I'd have to do that I wouldn't find fun to go all in. Not everyone wants to be a try hard. Some of us realize this is a video game and some of us don't find it fun to have to play in specific ways and follow the meta on what's good and what's bad depending on what build we are in. I don't want Dust to be my profession, what use is PC to me? Isk? For what? Playing PC?
Then don't dive "all in" into PC.
There are players that have made PC a part of the life, and there are many many more that haven't.
Most of the guys in GIANT were older, married men with families. Or were very deep in college work. Some were doing graduate school studies. I'm engaged myself. Or they simply always had a lot of work to do.
After doing a lot of PC, waking each other up at 3am to defend districts, and doing a lot of ringing; a lot of us figured out eventually that we just didn't have the time for the hardcore competition. We lost our remaining districts gradually, because many of us were just too busy to properly be there to field an adequate defense.
But we made good friends along the way.
What's the point?
Just be on good terms with people. If you don't want to do PC hardcore, just offer to ring a little. Make some money from it. If you're not available to ring, then just say so when folks ask you.
PC does not obligate you unless you take choose to take on the obligation.

Yeah, I realized real quick that a sense of tactics and planning strategies mean nothing compared to spam mechanics and rinse and repeat stomp methodology. It really is too predictable and easy to win if one wants to strip the life and variety right out of the game. I don't care about shooting well with a controller vs. EVERY EFFING THING ELSE! Screw this whole kdr epeen crap.
I'm not warring with you here, but I will call BS on this.
This is complete and total bs.
My old corp never had the best gun game, and we were never the best shots.
But we were able to compete with and beat the best corps in this game thanks to smart thinking and strategy.
Skill is only 1/3 of the ingredient. Competence makes up the rest.
A handful of smart guys with half-decent aim and coordination, WILL beat a handful of slayers that have no proper situational awareness. ALWAYS.

Honestly, it just sounds like a bunch of people on this thread don't want to try.
You don't want PC to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of your playstyles.
That, or you're scared of people talking bad about you if you lose.
Why?
There's no harm in recognizing that another player may be better than you at something. When that happens, look at the situation. What happened? How can you improve? What killed me?
If I had a little more eHP would the outcome have been different? If I paid attention to my range and terrain, would the outcome have been different? If I had 1 or 2 allies on comms to prep a cross fire, would the outcome have been different?
As soon as you stop believing that a wall should collapse because you whack your head on it, the sooner you can improve your personal game.
