aside from friendly fire being on in PC can someone please tell me why PC is so much tougher than pubs and the standard for determining what the best gear is?

the way I see it in PC everyone on your team is working together = easier

in a pub your own team screws you over half the time in a plethora of ways=harder

in PC you know who you are up against and have had like a day to prepare for it= easier

in a pub your thrown into a mix of god knows who on both sides fitted with god knows what employing who knows what kind of tactics (if any)=harder

in PC you make a lot more money for your trouble(granted the corp spends quite a bit but im speaking from the player perspective) =easier

in pubs 300 or 400k is a really good day= harder

so whats all the lol pub nonsense?
seriously?

how is going up against 16 organized players = easy?

Is this a troll post?

You're forced to fight at a particular time, against a highly organised and dedicated opponent.

The only way pubs are harder than PC, is if you're below the average skill level of Dust, in which case you might coast on the success of others in PC, but be outmatched against randoms.

From my point of view, running an organised squad of six in a public game often means we win easily if we're playing against a team full of single players doing their own thing. They become boring one sided matches where we end up red lining the other team after the first push.

This changes when the other side also has an organised squad, the sides are more balanced and it often goes down to either better squad or side with the most organised blueberries.

What changes in PC matches is that both sides are organised right from the start. You pick your squads and select players to full certain roles. For example, you may have one squad that contains Heavies as you want them to hold an interior objective.

In PC, you have a game plan that the whole team works to, but so does the other side. You set the game plan in motion and it goes down to skill and tactics. Having the ability to change the plan, adapt it is team wide and can really turn a close match. This isn't the case with Pub matches where it's often a case of just everyone attacking one point at a time and no-one defending the other points as the randoms are off in the hills pretending to be ace snipers.

thank you a very good break down... I haven't really done much PC so when I hear PC only dusties speak of lolpubs I wonder why...I have been in quite a few of these more organized pubs and they are anything but lol imo... however I have also been in my fair share of stomps so my initial thoughts were maybe these PC vets were involved in to many pub stomps and therefore simply had a misconception of pub matches which I believe can be challenging even to the best of players.

Don't get me started on this guy, Seymor obviously doesn't know much about first person shooters. Just a classic eve player.

The people you fight in PC tend to be high skill and high SP. it's also no holds barred go for the win... No one cares about I'd in PC. It's waaaay harder than lol pubs.


But if they change matchmaking.... That might change.

PC Matches are ruthless, have you ever seen all 5 points be captured by the enemy team within 3 minutes of the match starting, and then pushed back to groundbase?

PC matches are much more intense than Pub Matches, not only are they a true test of balance, they're a true test of skill and cooperation, they're nothing like pubs.

Simple really, because in PC youll see the cheap stuff brought out and exploited in full force
Thats what makes it a better metric to see just how broken something really is

How about you leave your NPC corp and start looking for joining the top corps? Only by doing that you'll get a taste of PC. Hint: The framerate in PC is terrible when 20 uplinks are deployed and 6~8 competitive players are shooting at one another over an objective.
