PvP Rankings

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is going to be some rankings, or ranked pvp matches put into the game?

I am really enjoying 5v5 space arena matches, getting on vent with some people - but with no competion or drive to keep pvping ( say for rare items ) after so long, its gunna get boring at some point.

I am a WoW player, so maybe im missing the thrill of ranked arenas.

Im only a low grade so i dont know if it changes at Admiral?

Thank

    you know that game wow... it never had arena for a long time, just BG's. Like this one really. Also like this one, they may be added.

    Another fact that indicates either STO was rushed to market or the devs weren't thinking clearly on the PVP game.

    Cryptic has NEVER done PVP well.

    I dont think the aguement stands that WoW didnt have this or that when it came out. The MMo genre has come on leaps and bounds since WoW was released (mainly thanks to WoW) - The standard is higher now, and if Cryptic want to compete in this area they need to bring games out that stand up to competition.


    WoW was what? 6years ago? We arent coming to this game after Playing 2d Uo or Daoc like i did when WoW was released

    I have been making this point all along.......I KNOW that STO is a newly released game but WHERE does it push the envelope in MMO or even in just Star Trek based games??

    it's 2010 and yet I feel like I am playing a game (albeit a pretty one) that could have been released years ago. Come on cryptic........you know you can do better than this.....I dare you to show us what you can REALLY do with the tools you have for this game!!!

    Signed,

    Someone that has a little hope left in him.

    Completely agree with the majority of your post OP.

    The issue you and so many others are having is that the pvp and game in general is fun but meaningless... That is why a Death penalty will eventually be added which in turn will open many new avenues of development and rewards for them to add.
    Right now its all a meaningless God Mode.

    I dont so much mind the pvp death penalty (being none currently) It would be instresting if in PvP if Boffs got disabled or certain systems. (and then enabled after leaving the arena ofcourse). Teamwork would really be needed.

    Last night had i had klingons who didnt equip any items, just to get though the battle quickly and make them the Skill points. Its crazy!

    Dont get me started on no death penalty for PvE though. Gimps the game. But then my fav games have been like Mir2 where there was a chance on death of dropping a item!
