PC did what it said it would, in and of itself, but the game is poorly wired together in other ways as well on top of the poor core mechanics - when we use that term I'm sure someone on the dev staff throws a coffee cup, but something feels off in the way the game behaves.
How may players actually had a chance to participate in PC? Why is there no small corp variant? there's no real motivation to better yourself in this game other than the ability to run better gear in the same 4 maps.
Honestly, I think things like matchmaking and core mechanics to pull and hold new players should have been given priority with PC taking a back seat while simple corp battles and challenges filled the void.. Sure the vets would have been bored, but we expected to be bored and burnt on launch.
What we have now is an "end game" that has limited participation and public matches with no matchmaking structure.
I started playing 7 months ago and stopped playing after 1 month .. I came back recently and started playing again to give it another chance and again im underwhelmed ... this game offers nothing to new players, who wants to spend 6months being stomped by vets to get to the next tier gear and then still get stomped ... It doesn;t give new players a chance and I know someone will say you should play more etc etc but no one will play a game they constantly lose in for such a long period of time .. matchmaking is appalling and the vets who make new characters to stomp in academy just turn even more potential players away .. i think all vets should be forced into PC to allow the newer players to play ppl of a similair gear and skill level so they can get better before they face the vets ... public matches need to be sp orientated eg if you have over 5m then you cannot take part in a game with ppl below 5m sp a sit is someone with 10m sp in a corp squad of other ppl with aroudn 10m so v new players with 500k sp is ridiculous, with how sp gains are restricted as well you spend 1 day gaining the weekly 200k sp and then don;t play for a week .. to actually be any use in PC your looking at 10 months of doing this without boosters to be of any use and when your at the start of that timescale it's disheartening and instead of being a fun game it becomes a task that simply isn;t rewarding .. if it was fun and equal then most people would be willing to stick around and get good but with the matches being so unbalanced no one will stick around for 10 months of getting owned, it's a shame because in fits and bursts i did enjoy the game but there are far too many flaws to keep me and a huge % of new players around
