The power creep is the MAIN reason pvp is dead in this game. Originally posted by Lipucd:They are dead not because of power creep ( thought that's not really helping keeping people invested into it ether ) Yeah, it's pretty much P2W Tac Crit abuse hell at the end of the day anyway, but no one does it in earnest as there's nothing to get from it that matters or couldn't be gotten by other means. Sure, you can do a PVP match for dil, but saying it's like 400 dil, vs the 8000+ you can earn doing PvE dailys, even more now with Delta's, why would you even think about it? The Weapons and armor all pale next towards crafted gear, and there's nothing at the end of the day to even look at your past history and explots in PVP to boot. Only supported by a few new locations and nothing to net from it. They added in PVP as a side derversion at release, and then over time gave it maybe 2 new space maps, and 1 new ground map in the 5 years it's been active. Skills, classes, and even races where not balanced around players fighting players ( if they were even balanced at all. PVP in STO has always been an afterthought. Rather it's dead because, in earnest, what all does PVP do for you, the player? What all is there to gain in PVP? Does it record your W/L? Does it have any leaderboards to speak of? Is there any reputation or gear to earn from it that somehow isn't overshadowed by PVE's slew of materal by any kind? Does PVP give you anything of the sort to make you go "OK, Yeah, I want to do this" beyond the fact that it's there? They are dead not because of power creep ( thought that's not really helping keeping people invested into it ether ). Instead of changin the real problem in that equation (the ridiculous burst damage), they nerfed the crud out of the damage reflect. When you saw one of those Tac ships pop their load and start firin, you popped your defenses and the reflect damage ability and they exploded before you did. Science officers had that one ability that reflects damage back to the attackers, but at a much higher rate. Whats funny is there used to be a perfect defense against that kind of garbage. PVP with high top ships is totally screwed in this game. That could always work, since your ship power creep is very limited. The only exception here is to do pvp with low level ships, tier 1-2. And my guess is, just for testing purposes. So people just gave up and i think nowadays only fleet private groups use to do regular pvp battles. This was long discussed in the official forums long time ago, along with the main pvp problem, the power creep, but since it doesnt matter what you discuss, cryptic will never listen to the players and it was clear that cryptic wanted to just get rid of pvp to keep focusing on pve and the power creep. zz)? because they cloak, decloak behind you and pew, you are dead and you cant even know what killed you lolz. Why do you think 90% of the pvp focused players use klingons or romulans (at least until now, that feds got cloaked ships. If what you say is true then there is no point to PVP at all then because you have klingons and romulans that have battle cloak then there is me the federation thats the only faction that doesn't have battle cloak and is just a easy target.Įxactly.
