My CEO and I cannot do ANYTHING with Districts in the new Planetary Conquest version of this game.

I am in a two person Corp, we went to the planet we were currently already at, drilled down to the system and available planet itself, came to the District screen (which looks similar to the Edit screen for Dropsuits), all 7 Districts on the world were empty...and now we can do nothing else. Nothing happens when you select an empty distruct. No clone pack, no directions, nothing.

Nice.

got an issue? here have a tissue.

can I have your stuff?

PC is only available in low security systems in Molden Heath. The other districts on the map are just high security space or faction warfare space districts which players cannot interact with (which is why you see no options).

yep only one sector is available for attack right now they plan to expand eventually, regardless 2 man corps have no place at all in PC heh...

Depending on the planet you may be looking at a hi sec planet, we need to make those more visible as not conquerable. Blue planets just meant temperate planets, which if in low sec and in molden heath means conquerable.

Well we are just two now, but this news is dissapointing for the console gamer.

Seems to me this is supposed to be a big draw of the game. If one, two, or four people cannot get together and form a small corp and play in this sandbox, I think it's going to become a sandbox full of only a few thousand EVE players. And that just won't cut the mustard in the console world.

I think this game should have stayed on the PC.

Thank You FoxFour for understanding the Problems and not flat out insulting the Dust Players like your co-workers are doing

There was No List from CCP that illustrated Low-Sec.

if we had a List there would Not have been so many Problems right now that people/Corps are encouter

in select low-security regions beyond faction warfare space

I have already declared war on unintentionally by the time lag of the server.
Is it not possible to cancel? Our people is set to the busiest time time.

You sound mad man.

you may as well chuck in with a bigger corp or you are gonna be spinnin your wheels. this game is meant for clans, not small groups.

Planetary conquest has been designed from the ground up for organizations much larger than one, two, or four people. While yes this is supposed to be a big draw to DUST it is not the only one and not every single feature can be made to suit everyone. Our focus right now is on getting the battles to be bigger, not smaller.

Dissapointed. As PIL would say. Not mad.


Then it will surely fail. You may be able to enter a new species into the ring, but you are not going to terraform the whole console biosphere. "That's just the way it is...somethings will never change."

I am sure the EVE and PC veterans will keep this game floating for some time, but not allowing the single player or a small handful of gaming friends to advance in this - or any - online console game will seal its fate. New players will abandon Dust quickly, old players will slowly stop purchasing Aurum, and the profit stream for this game will cease before it ever makes a dent on the PS4 landscape. But what do I know? I'm only an Assistant Controller with a Masters in Business and Marketing.

And it's a two woman Corp thank you very much. When it comes to video games, we prefer to play solo, together or with a handful of other friends - who mostly have 360s and not PS3s.

Just another setback by building house without the base, after that uprising and respect failure another. I pray for another MAG from sony, end of story.

...What were the 2 of you going to do when your district was reinforced? You would only be able to bring 2 people to a 16v16 battle....

if only there was some number of professional soldiers who could be hired for service in a foreign army. oh wait, there IS!

a 2-man corp might have contacts with many skilled mercs who could join their sqauds for 1 battle a day.

You have the CCP/EVE faithful in complete thrall, but do you have people like myself, or will you ensare many console playing newcomers? With that attitude, and the lack of civility and immense immaturity among much of this demographic and fanbase (cue the "Corp of two idiots" comment), I don't think so.

And many of you wonder why we don't want to join a Corporation and prefer to play together.
The vulgar 12 year old crowd is an annoyance on the Xbox, easily solved by a mute button. The man-child mentality of many who post on this forum and play this game is insufferable.

FW is the game mode for smaller units which has a tie in to the empires larger efforts

Yes.

I have started a request thread to allow smaller corps to INITIATE Factional Warfare battles instead of just waiting for them to spawn:

https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=77133&find=unread

This would enable a corp like the OP's to decide when and where you want to play FW.

AMEN

Hi there.

I'm glad you feel so incensed about not being able to hold a district by yourself (or, well, two of you) against the might of the universe.

Let's put this in economic terms. You set up a business in a niche market, say, Brazilian jewellery, in London. Let's say that you're the first business to do so, and at first, you're wildly successful. However, you insist that only you and a couple of close friends maintain the business, as to keep it small and keep everyone close. Would you then complain about any competition coming in and taking over the market for Brazilian jewellery, and then underpricing you out of the market? No, you wouldn't, simply because that's good business.

Same thing here. A two person corp just doesn't hold the financial firepower that a 16-person corp has, or even the manpower.

Also, you must not be very experienced in regards to FPS's, as most competitive FPS clans have upwards of ten people, at the very minimum. BF3 and MAG clans (at the risk of sounding like an idiot, having never played either) would have upwards of 50 and 100 players respectively, due to inactivity, differing timezones, etc.

As previously stated by CCP, highsec is meant more for casual gamers such as yourself, who don't want to get involved in running with a large corp, who don't want to have to constantly maintain a planet.

To be honest, I'm surprised that you're complaining about this without fully knowing the mechanics. Anyone with a university degree should be able to do even a little bit of research into what they're talking about instead of complaining without a clue of CCP's intentions, or the gaming world at large.

if only there was some number of professional soldiers who could be hired for service in a foreign army. oh wait, there IS! a 2-man corp might have contacts with many skilled mercs who could join their sqauds for 1 battle a day.

The entirety of your pompous and bloated post is nullified by....

Indeed, I was just pointing out the flaw in logic, common sense and business nous by your corpmate there.Thank you for completely missing the point.

EVE Fanfest 2013: DUST 514 Planetary Conquest in Low Sec

As just two quick examples. I do apologize however if we did not communicate that effectively enough. :(

Is it possible to enlist the planet invasion players of another company?

I captain. Members to another company. In this case, Is it possible to participate in the invasion planet?

if only there was some number of professional soldiers who could be hired for service in a foreign army. oh wait, there IS!

PC is only available in low security systems in Molden Heath. The other districts on the map are just high security space or faction warfare space districts which players cannot interact with (which is why you see no options).

Half the region is in hi sec and you can't take districts in hi sec.

Why they are selectable then is beyond me. For someone like me who doesn't live eve I had no idea, especially since the star map doesn't have a sec status I have no idea.

Apologies if you don't take the time to read patch notes in order to fully understand what's to come. I expect this is your first MMO with regular game expansions?

Well we are just two now, but this news is dissapointing for the console gamer.

Seems to me this is supposed to be a big draw of the game. If one, two, or four people cannot get together and form a small corp and play in this sandbox, I think it's going to become a sandbox full of only a few thousand EVE players. And that just won't cut the mustard in the console world.

I think this game should have stayed on the PC.

I love how everyone just GÇ£accidentallyGÇ¥ ignored this point. If the smaller corps can't do anything to keep up with the big corps then Dust WILL die. It's a huge deal that CCP seem to just be ignoring! Sure they get money from EVE but that can't be enough to keep Dust alive or even the player base alive.

To the OP, I suggest (as others have) that you join a corp that isn't just yourselves. My corp, the B.S.A.A have mature and active members, as well as some immature less active members that are kind of GÇ£bums on seatsGÇ¥ right now.

I'd like to squad with you sometime, hit me up when you're next online :)

Best thread ever.

I laughed so hard when I read the "We are a two men corp"..

Well I'm a one man Corp.

(And actually I think they said they were a two WOMAN corp. Way to pay attention and impress the ladies. You dorks got game! LOL!)

As a console player, much like the TC, I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this Planetary Conquest component. If I have billions of ISK just laying around, I should be able to hire mercs to fight for me and my district without being a part of some 200 person Corporation. This game-tactic just won't fly on consoles, but apparently many of you are too busy with your heads stuck up your butts to realize this. (And that includes those at CCP too.)

As it is I am now excluded from the "Every Battle Matters!" part of this game. And I am starting to come to the conclusion that this game just doesn't matter much to me.

What's stopping you from joining a larger corp or inviting more members to your own corp? After all, it's a TEAM game....else you might just as well play a singleplayer shooter.

You can join alliances as a smaller corp...problem solved ;)

Okay...you have piqued my curiosity.

How would this work?

I like how you insult people who disagree with you without even knowing one of the fundamental aspects of DUST and EVE. In your own words: "You dorks got game! LOL!"

This post, gentlemen, is why I don't drink.

This thread needs to be archived for great justice and infinite lulz.

Let us never let this man forget that he made this post, as long as he lives.
