How many mercs active on Dust514 have 0 participation in Planetary Conquest ?? I am asking as last night we randomly enlisted the support of Count- -Crotchula, who had a decent game with DMG vs a ringer team and after the match we discovered it was his first PC in 2 years !! How many other Dust514 mercs can relate to that ??
And more importantly ... why do so few bother to participate ??
Sure PC has it's downsides, but it is the only place on Dust where you can get proper battles and imo is content any merc on Dust514 should not be missing.. Your blueberries are accountable for their actions for once Why avoid it ??
- FW players..whatever you may fear of PC lag, in my experience FW is always worse for performance !!! So I get that lag is a big issue, though if you are in Corps for PC, leaving and rejoining matches can improve performance, and there are other various ways to clean up the PS3 system and try to get the most out of it .. not perfect, but it works - Tryhards.. this is probably a major issue for many players, no-one enjoys being turned into a molten pool of biomass and while there are some counters to teams who in short "got good" you will die for it, a lot. Teamwork can challenge even the best of teams, sure as hell they will kill you, but if you adapt.. weaker teams can certainly get results in tough PC's.
Sadly imo, the greatest tactic in Dust is use the best 16 slayers you can get, rinse and repeat = WINNING ^^ As said above there are counters, but it gets messy for your team.. and expensive
But DMG are one example of what a few slayers and a dedicated team can achieve, we have got results against the odds while also we have dragged many of us to hell and back as we keep faith with our players regardless of slaying ability... I'd be lying if I said it was all good times and paychecks.. but in the end we are here for the fights that is the content that matters.
So, this is directed at the Players who are missing out.. why not take the leap and get involved ?? And, while we hear the PC communities view on it like a broken record.. what do the players outside think??

Should*
But first, please have some respect for the fact, PC is meant for fighting.. "Raids" have offered no real content bar tripling the amount of no-show PC's. And most raiding.. have no idea what they are setting up for.. so it needs work...
For teams raiding.. for the love of Dust, at least have a battle plan!! and a team to begin with !!!

I used to play with PFBHz, did a short stint in FA, then petered off. I haven't played a PC match in almost two years. To answer your question about why I don't bother with PC:
- Almost all of my friends that I started playing this game with have left, and it is difficult to motivate myself to play at the highest level of competition without some friendly support, banter, etc
- You have to plan too much time around it. Because there are so many experienced players, and so few slot on the roster, players need to be dedicating an extraordinary amount of time just to be considered for the PC queue. Then, you have to find a spot within the top 16 roster. Missing PCs, even if you don't play them, hurts your chances of getting to play them because you didn't bother to show up
- Lag. The whole game is laggy. You're experience with FW being "the most laggy" is as circumstantial as my experience with PC. Regardless of which game mode is worse, it's a huge letdown to go through all of the aforementioned steps only to go 5/10 because you were playing a slide show
- Pointlessness on two levels. On the largest scale, PC feels pointless because we're not doing anything. For most corps, you claim land in a glorified skirmish match (and I love skirmish) for a big pay check. That's it. That's all its ever been. And that's just gotten boring to me. On a smaller scale, PC is only "tumultuous" for the top corps. If you are a small, medium, new, or any combination of the three, I am of the opinion that all of those victories are hollow. You've "earned" the land because the top corps have not decided to take it from you. And this is not meant to bash top tier corps. They've done well with the system provided for them, and they should continue to play the hardest that they can.
That's a few, anyway

there's no reason not to play, or maybe I get no FPS drops cos of SSD, new PS3 and fibre, I think it's all the videos and horror stories about 1fps, that put me off
PC is where it's at, if you want the ultimate DUST experience where no-one ISN'T participating, where everyone is out for all-out war, then play PC, it's the greatest teamplay experience DUST has to offer, it beats playing solo and any other mode hands down

Well, I played 2 PC's against I think your team yesterday.
That were 4 and 5th my PC (not counting 2 no-shows) in my whole dust career (I have been playing for about 2 years now)
Ill just paste my report from them here:
"#47884Posted: 2015.10.07 07:07 played 2 PC yesterday.
what a fuckin waste of time. First match lagged so match my bons was shooting as fast as a bolt pistol, frame drops everywhere.
Thought: "ohkay, lets try something else"
went to lowest resolution , deleted almost all fits (left 4), deleted all emails, contacts, left only 2 chat rooms, turned voice chat off.
Result?
Horrible graphics, lag and frame rate drops.
So yeah, this game mode is so 1337 that you have to know where you will be ruberbanded when the next frame renders (and when does it really render) Oh and good I have a maxed out running/hacking scout. Because minass with SSD can hack the point before I'm halfway to it..."
Also I ran a scout, as it's my favourite suit (have 3 of them to proto) I had to fill 3 of my 4 slots in a gal scout just to evade scans, which leaves me at HP = one PLC round splash damage. Minscout? pft, scanned all the damn time.
It's not that scouts are UP or whatever. I just want to point at the balance at "top tier" which is "use the most OP stuff and spam everything with explosive weapons". I don't want to be forced into playing "PC viable" roles, but I have to if I want to win.
As a sidenote, how raids are any different than PC's? it's the same thing... |

That's a few, anyway I love the gameplay and level of competition that PC can offer, when it works.
Piercing Serenity's points two, three and four are what keep me out of PC.
Point four removes the will to participate/engage: Dust is my first shooter, i came here for New Eden, not for a half-baked lobby shooter.
Point two - I PC'd a fair bit in the beginning, but with the game in it's current death march state i cannot justify the time that PC participation takes away from family.
Point Three serves as a large multiplier that amplifies the frustrations that come from Points two and four.
Even on PC or PS4 this argument does not substantially change. CCP will need to resume stewardship of their game before we see any real improvement, imo.

I've taken part in maybe 3 PCs, not counting no-shows, in my career as a merc.
For me the main issue is timers on maps vs the time zone I'm in. Most of the PCs I've been offered a spot in have been between 4am and 6am for me, which makes it difficult (if not impossible) to take part when these PCs fall mid-week.

Yeah, the irony... People bitched about port to PC (as a computer) because you apparently you need to buy all that additional stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the tips, but in no effin way I'm going to spend cash on new hardware and what not just to play a game that's on life support, that's just stupid. As for fiber optic.. heh, somehow all the games play just fine, but dust needs a better connection? lol

Regarding the connection.. and ways to improve it.
I play PC pretty regularly, with no SSD.. I think one point in my favour is the Super Slim PS3. Add to that - delete all mails+contacts - my PS3 consists of dust and Dust - less than 10 suit fittings.
That is literally all I do, along with a decent fiber connection (which at this stage should not be uncommon)
The majority of DMG, are the same (not using SSD) and most don't bother with the system clean-ups or limiting fittings (Varoth Drac I'm looking in your direction!) so I would argue that while these things suggested hand a benefit, not essential.
- dzizur, I was in that team against you (Standby Retaliation V Made In Poland)
And judging by your experience in that fight.. we most likely had server advantage, it's a kick in the nuts and my most HATED dust mechanic, that one team is handed an advantage via server, even so, in battles where we are against the server you can still play and this is where being in a PC Corp really helps, as a guy lagging can back-out, and either rejoin or be replaced by a TCO on standby.. So yes there are some blood rituals involving goats.. but that's part of it at this stage. (re-joining PC's certainly has a good effect on game performance 70% of the time)
- stefan, for shame.. I just ignore my phone and hope lil timmy doesn't fall down a well.
The time commitment is harsh and unpredictable when defending districts, attacks can land any day forcing teams to either get replacements, lose a district or just take a beatdown as you are missing key players, but again, having a PC Corp is useful here as you can vary the teams or squad leaders when some cannot make the battles.
- Mega / Lightning / Juno
Timezones are a pain, the only Corp on Australian suited timers is WarRavens and they seem to have peace agreements with with the Asian TZ Corps, so the main challenge for activity in that TZ is neutral = not many battles. Some players will have to accept to particpate they may need to change Corps to a more suitable TZ, or make the effort of arranging them yourself with your friends.. there is no way around it other than taking the leap into Corp activity.
Thanks for the feedback I hope more is added, who knows, maybe someone at CCP will take notice. PC 2.0 was about increasing PC activity for those previously blocked out by the players, so if CCP have any sense they will take the casual players views into acount. Despite any hardships in getting PC activity, it is the best mode available for Dust514

I don't blame you at all, you shouldn't have to, I did, because, well I don't know how I feel about it now
all valid complaints and you're right they should NOT be rectified through spending a tonne of cash why should that be the answer?
well DUST shouldn't need a better connection, on ADSL on a 8mb line it has enough downstream or upstream but if it's a shared network you need the extra bandwidth.

In PC the word "war" is a joke.. as the same group have won almost each war, just further buffing their funds and at this stage a lot of the top players in the game are just attracted to join the same Corps, not compete with them while it does kill some of the activity, there can still be fights involving all players if they take the steps to get involved...
Which for most is.. - check starmap - find top % holder - hop on the wagon - profit
It's a shame, the most competitive players on Dust are also the least competitive players on Dust
Only with CCP could this logic make any sense

I have pushed my Corp into doing PCs. Raiding is a great start because it removes the need to get the top tiered players from your corp and gives everyone a chance to try it out.
I am a vet from long ago so I remember when we barely had the SP for proto guns and proto suits, so an advanced suit with proto gun was king.
Now people have 100s of millions of SP.
The raids should be performed by as many corps as can initiate them, and put your squad in public with the ETA, Raid and Challenger. I have done that so many times now, every weekend I have random people flocking to me asking me when I am running my next PC.
I FC these and the best strategy is to follow the below steps: *Break up the team into 2-3 groups (If I get pubs, I go from the position of your name unless you have a function) *Tell that team what type of role they will play (Assault team (Light and Fast), Defense Team (1 AV, Couple logis, HMG), etc.) *Tell people where they are spawning in at *Assume players know what they are doing *Be funny and have fun - You are getting beat, call out who is dying and what was funny, call for vengeance, mix it up *Know you are going to lose most likely and walk in knowing that - This needs to be at the for front of the conversation (This is not a super serious PC. We will try to flip but aren't expecting it. Not saying this pisses people off.)
FCing is a thankless job that sucks ballz. The result though is making more friends in Dust and getting some respect. Hell, we are starting to run raids back to back so we can hammer them out. If you think you aren't good enough for a PC, message me and I will drag you into one and test it out. You may lose, but you get to walk out on the field in pads.
The Miami Dolphins always suit up, so why can't you!

PC is a huge amount of time for a seriously carebear pos game mode. There are timers and the dregs can get ahead by hiring people to fight for them. There are too many safety nets and scrub tactics that win for pc to be taken seriously.
That is why a lot of potentially competitive players do not care. I am however insane enough to hang around hoping for a port of straight up platform change and development.

I've only played one PC since I've been back playing. It was fun, lost the battle but won the war so to speak since they didn't have enough clones for a follow up attack. Didn't experience any lag myself and both teams giving 100% and got a very nice payout.
Those guys corp is pretty big so it was just by chance that they had a need for a couple of ringers, probably only got into it because Whitsy vouched for me as well. Other than them I don't associate with any PC active corps and some I wouldn't want to even if they paid me an absurd amount of ISK. Then there's the fact I only get to play a few hours at night without a lot of background noise, I could play in the afternoon and all day on the weekends but nobody wants to here all that noise and I don't do push to talk because I always forget it's on.
Of than that I wouldn't mind doing more PC's, just don't get the opportunity often.
Shit man, all I ever get is fucking warnings.

Casual corp, no reason to raid, no desire to hold districts. The couple PCs we did when raiding first came in required us to find ringers (low activity corp). I'd hoped the activity would increase as we did more and more, but it didn't happen.
Plus I'm an average player, I don't have ISK coming out of my ears, and I will soon go broke running full proto in PC.
That said, I did have fun, but clearly not enough to keep doing it (and the lack of activity increase from my corp mates suggests the same)
PS. As an aside, the exploits in the past, as well as the exploits that exist now, means I am also disillusioned with the whole thing.

TheD1CK wrote: Why do so few bother to participate ??
The same things I have been saying for the entire life of PC still apply.
- No one wants to make Dust feel even more like a job. (Oh no I logged in late and missed my duty for the day!!)
- Lag fest 90% of the time. Say FW lags just as bad all you want but it is no where near as bad nor is it only once per day on a schedule meaning when the lag hits you have wasted 100% of your effort.
- Ringers. If by some miracle you sludge through the lag and win the other corp is just going to throw a tantrum and grab the bat phone meaning al of your effort was lost anyway.
- No real reward. The average mid level player is probably not going to go isk positive for the battle thanks to inexperience and LAG.
- No one wants to play the kiss ass politics to go into PC with a higher level corp. This leaves the options of getting your ass kicked from inexperience among your whole team or just hoping to get lucky and go into a PC on occasion where you and the FC have little experience with each other so you end up spending the whole match just playing keep up with the regulars.
- Did I mention no one wants to make Dust feel more like a job?
Well I think that just about covers it. PC has been a very broken concept as a game mode from day 1 and shows zero signs of a revival thanks to a skeleton crew being unable to do a total rebuild. The new system just turns newbies into CP farms while totally limiting what any one corp can actually do. Now ringers are even more popular with small corps thanks to them trying to get all they can out of limited CP.
This is why people cried so hard for 16 man squads in FW. People want to be able to play proper competitive matches some where in this game and currently that simply does not exist.
The reason corp battles don't come back is because participation in PC would instantly reach an all time low and be nothing but a haven for farmers while every one else has fun in real matches.

Hold on let me catch my breath.
Fighting the same ringers over and over is hardly the ultimate competition.
It is pretty clear you guys are just looking for new ISK to farm out of small corps. Take it back over to the war room no one cares about the most broken of all broken game modes.

Why do I want to schedule a match 48 hrs in advance against (insert corp here)?
I fight (insert corp here) in pubs often enough.
I have plenty of Isk.
Who cares about internet "bragging rights" against (insert corp here).
If you are a corp with the manpower to reliably have 20 - 30 members on any given night, good on you. Then having a PC is just as easy as racking up CP and giving the Corpies something to do.
If your corp that doesn't have more than 16 people it can reliably call upon, then taking a district in PC is a futile waste of time.
If waiting 48 hrs for a scheduled match that has zero consequence is going to be a waste of time, why bother with PC?

Damn I got here late. Anyway, for those that want to participate in PC but don't know how to reduce lag like most veteran PC players here is my thread about reducing lag.
Those are all of the methods I have accumulated in my 2 years 5 months of playing PC, many of which can be quickly and inexpensively performed. One more thing I have to add when it comes to PC is that resetting your client via quitting game and relaunching dust is the most effective way of reducing frame rate drops, something most people suffer from.
The best time to do it is AS SOON AS YOU LOAD INTO THE WARBARGE. The countdown timer on the warbarge should be at approx 7 mins, giving you plenty of time to do a quick reset and make your way back into the warbarge with a couple minutes to spare.

They aren't really my standards so much as they are the tenets by which God expects us to live. In time everyone will be expected to live up to those ideals, its inevitable, the Amarr will make it so.

Back in the day, I was probably in about 5 PC's a day, 5 days a week minimum. From PC's inception to the infamous DNS 100% attempt. Then Fanfest and Scout 514 and uber heavy spam happened, and I didn't PC as much. The burn out was real. When vets ***** about the second job, we aren't kidding.
I started PC'ing again about 6 months back, but then little girl high school drama ended that pretty quick, as I have zero tolerance for that crap and even less desire to hop from corp to corp just to PC.
Haven't been in a PC since. Do I miss it? Sometimes. Often enough to put up with the BS? Nope.

Unfortunately the Dust gods have deemed only a **** hole in minmatar space to be worthy of ground based distribution. For the time one could settle for taking ground and space from the minmatar directly in the name of what is holy.
I have and still do wish to take on that pursuit in the name of the Empire but broken mechanics and a broken game has ended up pushing me away from both games for the most part.

I think alot has to do with the fc, I've ran with guys that chill but are prepared and have had fun even in defeat. But you get those that are high strung before it starts and that just brings morale down and just makes for a frustrating time. I think there's to many of the latter and it just turns people off to pcs. I think this is suppose to be fun, I think the more people try and just have fun then more will be willing to partake. |

I think there should be additional perks to owning a district. Like some sort of ability to train teammates. Let district owners have the ability to jump on the owned district and actually show how to do things instead of just having to do it by word of mouth. Also maybe some way of setting up turrets and crus. Maybe something else but giving out perks would make people interested again. That's just my opinion. |

Blaziken - You are funny. The main problem with being an FC is that you have to saddle the blame for the losses, acknowledge your best players, and sometimes you have to be the Ahole who has to straighten people out (I have had to do that only a couple of times). If you have never had that issue, you aren't using randoms too often. A lot of us have to deal with that.
Being FC is also satisfying because you feel needed. You are in charge. The problem is that too often there is a power struggle between the FC and people who want to be in charge. Also the FC has to show up early and organize everyone, talk about a job!
I love FCing because I get respect as someone who can kill and still command. I respect other FCs because I know they can play the giant chess game. The problem is you are Cortana and everyone wants to be the Master Chief.
BTW - Booby Tuesday - I remember you. Yeah, you leashed me a lot back in the day. I am sending you an invite to a PC I run! Then you can enjoy sitting back and simply show off your skills.

This is really amarr vs min FW

This is really cal vs gal FW

To anyone that says they are fighting the good FW fight and although the community dominates cal and Amarr FW our FW contribution ain't ****.

What's my point? We the pc community claim our rightful sovereignty. Pledge your alliegance to a faction. Amarr, blood raiders doesnt matter. Read up on the lore. Turn MH into a battleground of more than our epeens. Use your EvE alts on their intergalactic summit.
But IMHO a Minmatar owned region ruled on the ground by Amarrian slavers would be the biggest troll on CCP to... Pay attention.

Yeah but we've known that for year now.
In 2013 FW was competitive and people actually cared....... that ended with 1.7 and FW only went down hill from there.

As I have said Jerry I thought your idea to Reclaim Molden Heath was cool but the region is a **** hole. It has no value.

Also, Molden Heath isn't so much of a shithole, you just need to be creative with what you're looking for

If so, I never stated that it had value, I simply said that it "wasn't so much of a shithole" and " you need to be creative with what you're looking for"
Now, having cleared that up, IMHO, Molden Heath is worthless to a purely Dust corporation. However, if you're a hybrid alliance or corp and are looking for a nice home base for piracy. It is a middle ground between Empire and 0.0, I am sure that could create more value to the right people.
Only way it will ever mean anything real though is for Eve and Dust to be truly interdependent upon one another.

Now if EvE side was completely divorced from controlling the sov on our turf that would change things. Not saying we all are pos's on pushing content but if focus drifted off nerf this buff that arguments and more toward how can we the community enable our devs to give us a tangible sandbox... We might get a ball rolling.
Tl;Dr if it sounded ranty earlier it was just rushed spitballing.

They kill pos mechanics then the last link is gone. Sure you can ob but the interaction is limited. The ground control wins the war the Navy just softens the target. Anyone who is a ob pilot is either doing it out of love... Or has no idea wtf is actually profitable if EvE side only. Making the piracy up above MH quite entertaining and dare I say scrubby.

Or how about in the future (post port "hopefully") we open up all of New Eden and make two kinds of sovereignty, one is ground based and one is space based and you can only gain complete control of a system once those two are established.

Arch actually posts on the forums.
Edit: things I actually care about. Couple days ago he nutted up and actually posted on a touchy topic, when rat would of either defaulted to NDA or just trolled.

Hump. OK, less of a back and forth chat you two ^^
There is some reasonable feedback amongst this, so I'll hope more gets added. Arirana's post on reducing lag, should be the first thing mercs do before starting PC . Keep the opinions relevant to our current Planetary Conquest set up. I'm hoping with Rattati throwing Zoolander gifs at people he may have took some notice of the topic here...
Regarding PC activity, on weekends I will be active and can be found at "DeadMansGame" channel. I can give some input on PC and if I am free can help out with the battles themselves
Well that was a surprise.
