why is skill points from pvp soo low? i found it ok on feds, but since i started a new warrior, it seems really low to the point it takes the fun out of the klingon leveling imo

    Because we were leveling up so fast. We get into far more matches than they do....why this matters is beyond my understanding.

    Hopefully in a couple of weeks or so the new Klingon PvE content will straighten that out.

    In any case, if all Klingons ended up being three-day admirals, there would be almost no PvP at the lower ranks, so while a slow grind (for now) sucks, the alternative probably sucks worse.

    Rather then what we have now, which is no PvP at lower ranks as people look at how long it takes to level a klingon and give up

    Yep,

    I have a LTC and can't bear to do another nebula mission.

    Lack of low level pvp is going to be a problem soon too.

    I'm on my fifth attempts to break through Lt Cmdr each time i've gotten there i've just given up and deleted my character.
    The only reason why i'm even on Klingon side now is for RP and PvP but even then i'm hardly getting any RP with my fleet because they are all fed side because they are sick of PvPing for little to no reward.

    to sum it up:
    Klingons are now no longer reaching max because its far too slow.
    "Klingons get into more matchs" is valid only if you take into account the KvK matchs still take the same if not longer than FvK PvP.
    Klingon side is drying up because you are either higher tier PvP or stuck doing the same few PvE missions over and over and over again until a PvP mission pops then when you finish it you get less skill points than the PvE missions.
    The reason why Fed players are complaining about needing 'FvF' is BECAUSE it takes so long to get up to the higher levels for klingons.

    To put it into a time frame.
    Federation players are PvEing up in levels | Klingons are PvPing furiously against feds and themselves
    Federation players start hitting the higher ranks | Klingons are reaching the highest ranks and quitting
    <Cryptic nerfs klingon PvP match xp>
    Federation players complain about lack of PvP | New klingons are giving up because its too hard to get up to higher ranks
    Federation players continue to complain about PvP | Klingon side slowly depopulates
    <Cryptic promises for FvF in new patch>
    Federation players cheer | Klingon side begins to empty
    <Present Date>

    i made it through the first rank, but at the end i saw a massive drop in pvp. maybe it is just me but some reason it seems feds are out leveling us.

    must be some middle ground, even 150 sp's per pvp match would help. seems to play in kdf you can't be a casual just takes too much time and nothing to show for it

    I levelled my first KDF character in a slower time than i levelled my fed char (did KDF first) and that was before the exp nerf. It is silly for our exp to be nerfed even though we level slower than the federation anyway.

    Upper level PVP is pretty much dead. At BG I did about an hour of PVP ungrouped and every fight was the same five klings.

    No pve and pvp just gets way to mind numbing after awhile.

    The klings are jumping ship fast and from pure bordom.

    Lack of challenge is another reason.

    My K has been captain 9 for over 2 weeks and I dread playing it because of the blatant lack of things to do at BG. I used up pretty much all it's energy credits to gear up a new Fed captain that's already at Captain 6 or 7 after a a few nights worth of playing.

    Being the only fed with good BO abilities in every match vs a faction setup specifically for pvp is challenging alright.

    Kinda wish there was an un-instanced open pvp zone where feds could zerg and feel safe in numbers and Klingons could hunt in small packs.

    My klingon has been LC for a month. I have to be doing something wrong.
    Anyways, I PVP all the time. All the time. Instant pick up in queues. Too many Feds queued up.

    I need a PVP type guild, I guess. I don't know.

    They nerfed the heck out of pvp rewards. You are doing it right. Time to leave some feedback on this I think.

    Got Klingon to LtCdr and it became too boring and too slow to level. Now I play Fedrat and WAIT until:

    a. Klingons get T2 Cruiser
    b. Klingons get Joined Trill

    Then I'll reroll my Klingon and give it a try. (With low expectations.) If it is no fun I'll finish leveling my Fed (Cdr 9 now) and quit.

    Thee are some what look easy to do fixes. Set PvP to even numbered sides. If there are only 2 Klingons then only 2 Feds get to PvP them and vise versa.

    Set up an all ranks PvP arena, with total levels or something approaching equivalent total levels (maybe it takes T1 to equal 1 T5?). How hard can this be?
