How common are corp battles, anyway? Are these popping up every day, or just occasionally? I suppose that will pick up once the EVE integration actually happens, but I suspect there is often nothing to do but pub matches, hence the "Navy SEALs storming the Kindergarten playground" effect that is increasingly common. Matchmaking has to happen soon, or there will be nobody left but a couple hundred veterans fighting each other.

(I haven't actually seen that many genuine pubstomps lately, but there are plenty of games dominated by an unkillable Gunnlogi protected by half their team. I'm increasingly inclined to just quit those games rather than feed them easy kills, as I don't usually have an organized team to play with -- my fault, I know -- and I'd rather roll the dice again on a more balanced game.)

They used to be mostly fun in the beginning but they are getting worse and worse as time goes on for two reasons: 1. Pubstomping. Nuff said. Go look on the Gen forums at all the bored corporation veterans who make a career out of this. 2. Players who stop playing or drop out of the game the minute their team starts losing. My friends and I are seeing this more and more. it is getting worse and it makes the game infuriating. probably 1/4 to 1/3 of the pub games we play in end up so one-sided that the remaining players on the losing side die instantly upon spawning EVERY TIME until the game is over! Between the veteran pubstompers ALL running around with their maxed out Heavy Armor and Heavy Guns to all the people that just stop playing on my team...this game is getting old real fast...at least pubbing is.

Hopefully the next build will include better corp battle options and actually make it worth our while, atm the only things they're worth for are bragging rights

Agreed. Corp battles can be fun, but many other corps don't like to do them. Jikt Terlen wrote: How common are corp battles, anyway? Are these popping up every day, or just occasionally? It depends on the corp you're in. Usually there are corp battles up every night. gbghg wrote: atm the only things they're worth for are bragging rights and fun o.o Having two organized teams is a lot more fun than pub stomping.
