I'm sorry but this thread is dumb.

If you can't field a decent # of squads of people to defend your districts, then don't try to capture any.

I haven't fought any PC battles and my corp owns districts. We have enough people that I don't even have to show up or even care.

See, no burnout here, because I don't care.

Problem is Corps can keep using the same team for every game. we need a fatigue or stamina stat which determines how many games a Merc can participate in PC, like each character can only take part in one or two games every 24 hours. This means Corps are forced to let their other members have a go and also means Corps can't just rely on 16 people to hold their hands like I noticed at least ONE corp doing.

Good for you. FYI we beat your corp off our districts twice, so were perfectly capable of defending our land before people got fed up of the daily chore it had become.

The point here is that this really fun part of the game is actually a giant chore. A game shouldn't feel like a chore - that's why so many people got up in arms over the daily cap last build.

I think many of the comments on this thread reflect a loss of perspective on the OP. I'm not complaining that PC isn't for us. I'm not QQing about anything at all, let alone the fact that we are on a bit of a losing streak.

I'm simply pointing out that the structure of this game mode makes it inherently chore-like. Now a small minority of Dust's playerbase may enjoy a rigid job-like structure but when PC is the only thing we really have to aim for in this game, it needs to be more fun and less chore or a huge majority of the playerbase will never even try it.

If daily territorial wars aren't you thing you may want to look towards the revamped corp battle system that's supposedly on the horizon. It'll have the same organized competitive feel without the daily obligation. Suggest whatever changes you'd want for PC to feel less 'chore-like' for that game mode while it's still being worked on.

As for PC...this one part of the game is meant to be a chore-it's part of what makes it different from the otherwise very similar alternative game modes. The obvious suggestions have been given for you to relieve the burnout obligation of logging on daily (recruit more, join an alliance) but I dont think you should expect PC to be made less chore-like. If anything I'd expect changes will be made that make holding districts harder rather than more relaxed

PC in it's (limited size) early implementation will only be viable for people that play pretty much every day already and will continue to do so. It should lighten up when it is expanded upon giving the playerbase access to many more planets/districts than the current strangle-holding alliances can manage. Til then PC territory will be in high demand/low supply requiring anyone that holds a district to defend it frequently-get friends to do it for them-or lose it.

High demand and low supply is the way it is supposed to be for districts to stay a true asset. If supply exceeds demand, no one would want to fight over things, then what's he point?

Recruit more players.

As a wild guess, I would say he is referring to the wars in EVE, which we are already starting to become a part of, and will only become a larger part.

Wars between big Alliances can last, and have lasted, literally years.

Yeah, but the fights are so infrequent they literally have to be staged. Null is a big blue blog in EVE and the "war" is about as meaningful as Oceania vs Eurasia.
