One year ago it was happening
this.
I miss the good old nights I had PvPing with the guys in OPVP, screaming and laughing on TS, setting ESD on fire and, most importantly, having fun.
Or this where the only thing that didn't get stomped was my Excelsior.Or this.
Now it's all gone.

Those 10v10s and 5v5s we organized on OPvP. That short crossover from s8.5 to s9 was best, most massive and most varied STO PvP ever had.
It lasted all the way until R&D bullsht revamp and then I stopped playing until DR disaster.
Back then I could just switch to one of my 6 toons and i was ready to PvP in second.
Sadly it will never happen again. Glad i captured and uploaded some of those games.
This 10v10 was also great.
and this full randomSCI tanks vs Romulans PUG with famous names on both sides.
And of course OPvPs Klingons vs Feds OPvP 10v10 best of 3
For me all fun ended here though, week before Delta Rising 4 games compilation with partial OPvP made vs Pugs.

Some new people will maybe have fun with PvP again if they don't take it down completely. Me, I can't even bring myself to double click the launcher anymore.

After bran left it went downhill. I spoke with him ingame some weeks ago during bugship promo... Damned old memories of Ker'rat nights where we'd have 20 freaking instances during the Avenger launch. he says "you guys [PvPers] are awesome!", I wish he'd still be our CM.
I think I'll just go back and toy around in Watch Dogs, or raking up kilometers made in Ferraris in Driveclub to unlock the LaFerrari.
I guess I'm going to log in again uh... With S10. Spend a few mins in sector space, do the mission and shut it down again. They can keep their T6 gimmicks, I don't want to target hitpoint bags, nor I'm going to need an overpriced ship to do that.
They took the fun we had one year ago, all the balanced mechanic that yielded to epic matches without silly stuns or I win clickies and killed it.
Well season 5-6 had tric and TBR hax so it wasn't as good as s8-9 for me.
but all troughout game had pvpers in it before inglorious death.

S8 and S9 were great for PvP, there was so much variety and so many players back then. Now everything's more totaled than a Ferrari having a head-on collision with a wall of solid marble at 350km/h.
I remember a random 5v5, 58. gesh... Wader...? (Dunno how to say it lol) on the other side and Lag Industries on my side. The match was epic, a glorious battle that lasted for too much time: we won 15-14
...now if you get to start a match you will unlock a trophy.
Damn.... i miss those times
Me too pal
Without PvP it's the same grind everyday....
and obviously to grind faster (not to PvP anymore)

oh yes what is it they dislike PvP...?
here is an even older 1..

so miss the pvp bash's..:(
remember I was new to Sto (& fraps).
but all good fun.
nice vid dude.
Yep, there have been the 2015 threads.
Just like there were the 2014 threads.
Just like there were the 2013 threads.
Just like there were the 2012 threads.
Just like there were the 2011 threads.
Might even be some 2016 threads...doubt there will be any 2017 threads.
Each time...folks left. Folks decided not to start. Some folks moved up into the vacuum with their new toys. They drove out other folks. They soured the experience for anybody thinking to give it a try. Then they left at some point. Each time, fewer and fewer folks.
It's about the only thing in the game that actually qualifies as being doomed...
...well, unless it's one of the folks complaining about the Exploration Clusters.
You called? lol
Man I miss those games, as much as I use to scream at everybody they sure were a hell of a lot of fun. Now it's just smacking spacebar and I don't really find that to be challenging or require as much thought or on the fly adjusting of strategies as pvp did.
Those 14-15 matches were the best, even though some times there was some major stress.
Nothing is impossible to him who would try.... except getting cryptic to care about pvp.
It's not just PvP, it's the whole dev team that can't get one right!
Plus they broke their own episode.
Broke account bank, bank and inventory.
Can't do something with their crappy ISP to address the lag.
Have the lead dev insulting a portion of the community.
Have the systems designer say we produce only anger.
Turbonerf everything they can find like Voth Battlezone and XP gain.
Exponentially increase the grind.
Can't fix the PvP scoreboard bug after HALF a YEAR
Can't fix Presidio nacelles.
This game is worse than a malware!
I guess that term fits perfectly. As I was reading the definition... Well STO did fit perfectly. I can make a lot of examples, but we all know them after five years.
+1 for truth.
Haha, make a signature...oh wait they haven't given that back to you yet for who knows what reason...
Sadly it's what works best for me right now. Just ask Agu, I have to up and afk at a moments notice for random amounts of time. If that happens in a PvP match I would completely TRIBBLE over the entire team. One day though, hopefully.
Also I thought everyone agreed there would be a word count maximum on Beameddown's posts? What happened to that?
We need a tldr basically.
Beameddown, for wanting us to read his ridonkulous posts. lol, just playing around.
+1
Agree with that.. .
Cryptic destroy PvP.. and we can't do anything about it.

Another quality we had with TSI! was the respect when we met in queues we instantly changed our builds to comply with fair game! asked if ready, thanked for game even though bitter rivals! people in other fleets recognised we never ran cheese and saw the skill in pvp fleets back then.
We lost the PVP etiquette season 5, pandas stopped this when everyone started pulling TRIBBLE on us! cheese pandas was made to show the difference - people raged when we did this, brought it on the forums within a day.
I played pvp in season 10 the over day and ran into queues with a few panda buddies (just for lols we decided to roll season 8 builds as we are not in the current meta-game), the sad state of the game shows lack of skill, the score on one game in pug queueing:15 - 2 considering it was 3 pandas, it is not a team but we have talent ingrained in us to run as a team. For example when hobos called us out and said we cant play the game anymore and challenged us to hobos vs sad pandas, we came back 1 week learnt the current metagame and beat them of their perch.
The boiled down truth, the respect, the rivalry between fleets is gone, sto has suffered so much now, we have tried getting new blood in the pvp community the trouble is learning the meta of today's game ie rep, gear, skilltree, learning when to use skills. when people ask for help they don't get it.
Lists go on for ages here guys, I think to recoup it! classic pvp is probably best idea! no clicky back to ships and weapons!
and...
Devs have openly admitted that they hate PvP and PvP community in this game.
Further more, they are incompetent to fix core engine bugs.
and...
They have perverted Star Trek so much that at the core of it is the GREED, GRIND and instant gratification.
Was enough for me to quit STO for good and even for the better.

I miss those matches, clean and without bs and, especially, LAG :P
Other pandas was better, but you monkeys never respected other pvprs, all time you made fun or insulted your oponents.
anybody who ever took monkey's trash talk seriously was doing it wrong
THIS so much and ten times over. Just give me a server roll back and I'll bring back all the TSI guys until Era says haxcellent!
