I really don't know since we can't participate....in any way....not even as subcontracted mercs.
As I said months ago when they were announcing their genius:
-PC launched and slow recruiting almost came to a stand-still
-The ones smaller corps did have that were active have created other toons and started playing with corps in PC
-The new recruits (mostly dust noobs) are ancy to get involved in PC and will leave before the growing corp gets to that point
-More characters go idle everyday. MORE than before the uprising launch.
-Now PC offers little but a headache to those involved? (30 minutes!) 
-1 mil ISK per. Must be nice....to spend on what?
-24hr time slot? bah.
-The system just stacks the deck in favor of the ones with the jump on everyone else.
I agree with the above statement. Waiting on uprising 2.0....for several things to be addressed. PC could have allowed enough districts for 3x the corps to have gotten in and AT LEAST lost their districts. With all that Uprising improved upon from the beta, the pub match (FW included) is still not interesting enough to gain SERIOUS interest from those new to dust and not from eve.
Where is the depth that the fanboys have vehemently defended? Is it supposed to come over the course of 10 years? Where is the EVE tie-in to the molden heath region? It appears that molden heath is part of the FICTIONAL minmatar territory and that dust corps are separate entities within that region.
IDK that I can say that PC has failed or succeeded. But let's ask ourselves: Since the launch of PC, who has benefitted? Since the launch of PC, are there SIGNIFICANTLY MORE people playing dust? Since the launch of PC, how many new recruits have which corps landed? Since the launch of PC, how many of a corp's active players have either gone idle, or bailed on the corp altogether?
7,000, give or take, is the most I have ever seen on the tranquility server. That number includes however many EvE players are online. So, how many are really playing? Not how many have EVER created a character.
I have also noticed that the number of all-out fanboy advocates has declined.
Just saying.

I saw that dust was nominated for best mmo of the year at E3. So, I guess 2013 was a bad year for MMOs, or, I can never trust anything that comes out of E3s lying face.
As far as I can see, PCs only reward is the ability to frivolously use proto weapons in the pub matches. (Something that fanboys were using as an EXCUSE and/or argument FOR the system in place) "OHHHH! That's the strategy and rpg part of the game Joe Rogan."
I guess there is some reward to the egos of those who started major corp players in PC, but really? I'll give props to those who STARTED those corps. At the same time, if you are just one of the gutless bandwagoners who applied to one of those corps because they are in PC, or because they had 150 members already in the beta, then you have nothing to be proud of. You fellas are Yankees fans in K.C. or Cowboys fans in Cleveland. No Balls.
I'm realizing that the basis of this game is gutlessness. (Look at all the little hookers who tank snipe, then just roll back down the hill when they take a little damage.) I guess in New Eden that saving your gear and hiding like female dogs is more important than winning the fight. Which then makes one ponder, WTF and why do we even care about PC? Where is the tie-in? If it lags isn't that something that should be addressed in a beta? Oh yeah, we had a "beta", but then anyone who was not lollipopper fanboy got all of their ideas and concerns shouted down. Now here we all are.
There are 3 reasons that I'm still playing this GARBAGE: 1. I don't want to bail on my corp mates who aren't/weren't little kitty cats and Didn't bail when they saw that we weren't going to immediately be able to participate. 2. I sank about 60 bucks into it thinking that it would be GOOD after uprising. That means it gets 1 year. But, I won't be wasting any money on it in the meantime. 3. Just to tell everyone how lame they are. I mean really?
This "MMO"/"RPG"/"Shooter" or whatever its being called this week, offers little from any of those tags. It has the depth of a mud puddle, the mechanics of the first stone wheel, and the only thing massive is people's level of disappointment.
Now some guzzler can come tell me to GTFO. But I won't do it. Somebody has to cure them of their delusion. That's what they want, people who know better to all leave so that there is no one around who KNOWS that they are weak in the wrists.
-- Its like being in Vegas, and the Casino jumps up and announces that it is the best player.  |

Cosgar......that is an excellent analogy. Looks like it might take just as long as real thing=forever.
Fox........lets say those numbers are close or correct. That tells me that FW is as meaningless in EVE as it is in dust. If 30-60k are playing and we (dust) have to depend on them to instigate FW battles, it can't be very important seeing as how there is not a constant list of merc battles. Either that, or much like I said before, New Eden is about hiding all of your good toys as to not lose money. Weak.
Then, going back to what Cosgar said, wtf is so important about an OS from an EVE player vs. an OS from the default satellite or whatever? What is the incentive for an EVE pilot to go to Molden Heath on behalf of a Dust corp? What is the REAL incentive of PC? I think its just to try pubstomp/spawn camp frivolously with proto gear and/or tanks. I think in all, its a war of NO VALOR.

"What's that one ---- we always used to eat back in the day? Oh yeah. PC!"
Objective A in the middle of a bridge? Great hotspot placement, but why on Oddelulf VII would a hackable objective be placed there? Wouldn't a district holder, that may possess one of 1,000 of the very same bridge throughout the universe, move that to a place better defended? More easily accessed by the defending entity? Why in a district with a city fortified with walls would it make sense to put a computer board in the middle of a freaking bridge?
I know.....Video Game.
I've got 3 characters in DUST. In a few months we will all have 4 characters that will serve as a model for this company, and several others to follow as far as making a truly kick-ass game.
Those 4 characters.............GTAV |
