IMHO opinion PC is lame because districts do not mean anything other than 8-10 mil income per day, and to be used as staging areas to attack different districts cheaper.
For PC to be meaningful CCP should implement functions such as those drone infestations where players of a corp or alliance can deploy into their district and kill PVE drones (much like ratting in 0.0, low risk if you know what your doing accompanied by a good payout). Corps/alliances will want to expand to size where they have enough ratting space for their members.
As for the timer system we have I believe it's the only effective way to implement this system in the game. The only players feeling burn out from this are the ones who have over expanded and are having to fight on to many timers a day. If we took away timers it would be even worse because all corps would have to be ready to field a 16 man team 23 / 7, tell me how is that worse that having to field a team for 1 hour a day at a time that best suites your peak corp hours anyways.
Lastly I feel that PC burnout is more of a reflection of the poor state of dust as a shooter, not on the actual mechanics behind PC. Many players in the top end corps are simply tired of all the glitches, imbalances, FPS drops, infinite loading screens, mic glitches, and poort controls for both kb/m and DS3. I know many players that simply hit their cap as sson as possible (mostly through afk, and the log on only for PC battles hoping they will run at an acceptable frame rate against a competitive team.)
TLDR: PC hasn't failed, Dust's poor FPS mechanics have made it fail along with a lack of any meaningful benefits to the rank and file member. |

They shot themself in the foot making this game designed around match gameplay instead of open world.
and I don't see any simple way to FIX this..(other then buy PS4 and go play Planetside 2) I joined because it sounded like it would be open world. Nope
Tell me how well your corp can defend at 4am, or 10:30am on a weekday. Would a corp being able to attack your district at a time of their choosing make PC seem like less of a job?
Planetside the no timer system works because players do not own or run the territory, they only join a major faction side with thousands of other players much like faction warfare in eve. CCP made dust to be about ownership and building your own army, not fighting in some NPC factions army. |
