Im sure this would have nothing to do with the mere fact that you can't get corp battles due to the 'stigma' your corp has created for itself.

The bottom line is the rampant BS your crew has fed this community the past few months is the main reason no one wants anything to do with you.

In normal circumstances, I would bet corporations would look forward to the on-field challenge a well-organized battle would provide, which I'm sure is exactly what you guys do every time you get a battle.

However, all the verbal baggage that you so freely provide afterward is going to deter corps from repeating that situation. And no this doesnt apply to everyone in your group, but you know as well as any that this is what happens. Now you have to deal with the negative outlook the vast majority of this community has toward you.

from the bigger picture of the layout of this game, I don't think hiding the names of the corps for the battle over a territory makes any sense at all. Sure from the limited viewpoint of a closed beta with such a small playerbase you may have good reasoning, but I don't see this being a viable change from the greater perspective of the EVE/Dust Universe.

I'm sorry but this sounds like a plea to devs to step in and fix an isolated problem that was self-created.

If my crew controls a particular planet, or area of a planet, what have you, and we are being challenged for that area, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't know who our attacker is... this isn't space set in medival times where we lack the technology to know who is approaching our system beforehand...

can't hide forever Jason scrub :-)

+1 mainly for the intel part of it as I lvoe the meta game in eve. IMPS will get their corp battles no worry

Mate, I'm not hiding.. I'm in a strategic position ready to ambush :D

I don't see your corp disclaimer anymore. Does that mean this is your offical corporate position?

It does seem a little odd that it appears to be only Imperfects that support this idea. But as to whether its a good idea or not Im kinda neutral. I dont really see the point of hiding who youre fighting, but I guess it could add some mystery to the game? I just dont get it really.

Howdy Cubs,

1. What "stigma" do you refer too? A few members talking smack on forums... other corps dont do this as well? Any corp battle we've had has stayed private. The outcomes aren't shared with the community unlike Betamax and SI to name a few. We keep the wins to ourselves and don't loudly trumpet them on the forums.

2. I would disagree about corps looking to find a good fight. There are only a couple of corporations that will give us a corp battle, the rest avoid us and I don't think it has anything to do with "our mouths". It has to do with the threat of losing. I'm not saying we won't be beat, we will for sure and this drives us to play harder. But I think alot of the corps in this beta dont want to lose, so they schedule matches against people they can beat (see Hellstorm).

1a. As I stated in paragraph 1, we have never posted on forums or made known to other players the results of our corp. match, so what baggage are you refering to? I don't mind the community having a negative outlook towards us, it would happen whether some in the corp. talk or not. Think about other games/MMOs you've played, has there always been disdain for the no.1 guild? There was when I played WoW, RIFT, EQ2, CoH, BF3, etc etc. whomever is on top will get hated on, it happens.

What we are asking for is not a plea to the devs, please. It is common sense. TBH I don't care anymore. Now we are going live it doesnt matter whether we get a "willing" corp battle or not. When contracts are up, if you want them, come through us, there won't be anymore "not playing".


Look forward to avoiding your HMG on the battlefield :)
