PVP is Dead in tier 1

edited March 2010 in PvP Gameplay
I made a second Kinc toon and I cant level it past Lt because I cant get into a PVP match and after 20 minutes of waiting I enter and there are 6 BOP's and 1 Fed who soon gets sick of dying. I thought that a race based on PVP was a little risky to introduce into a online game and it looks like I was right on the money. And for the last 40 minutes I haven't been able to get into a single space based PVP instance. I guess I have to shelve this toon until more PVE content is introduced

    Hey Im the first to admit tier one is WAY unbalanced.........pity really.

    But why would a Fed pvp in tier one its to easy to level without the hassle of queuing for 20 minutes for bugger all xp.

    Are there enough Klingons in the queue for a KvK?

    Maybe they should add some "FFA" KvK maps that just let in however many people want to join... launch when 2 people are in the queue and then keep adding as they come. First player to get 20 kills wins.

    With all the bad press we are getting and the awful grind not many peeps rolling Klink.

    I guess trolling the forums is not the endgame they were hoping for :)

    i'm of the opinion T1 should be KvK only.

    btw how to pick which klingon house to side with? there should have a quest to choose a side and another quest to change klingon side.

    T1 Klin FvK or even KvK requires new players, or rerolls

    its normal for T1 and soon even T2 to be dead

    I dont know about T1 but T4 is absent of "smart" klingons. Far far far too many times have I gotten into a match to see the score 10-0 and looked to see 1 klingon is trying to go against 5 feds. Have patience my fellow Captains. Wait for Rulan!!!

    I have rolled a second klingon a few days ago and I have noticed a severe drop of people compared to my first character. On my first Klingon I would *join* a que and be instantly in game. With the new character I am constantly waiting to get in game.

    I think you just solved the leveling problem!

    Maybe you took too long?
    I rolled my 2 Kllingons, and also my 2 Feds, at the same time as each other. All four are Lt C's 5 or 6. I also only pvp on them (even the fed's) since pvp rewards give the same as missions do, plus money; and that I can do missions anytime later.
    I can't say T1 pvp is dead or alive, but T2 is still kicking for awhile. Though I'd imagine this time next month, T2 could be dead if no one makes new names or STO don't get more new players.

    Yeah I would have to say compared to my first Klingon this is much slower, alot would hinge on the depth of the re spec that is to be offered if you can only pick new powers then I will have to persist but if they give a total re spec including arch type then I am leveling this toon for no reason.....

    I doubt it will be a total re spec I think it will just be a power pick

    That is full of win please add this in cryptic.

    You could always go do the expanse mission. It's repeatable, if slow. At least you don't need anybody else for it.

    Klings tier 1 bird of prey is quite a lot better than the first starfleet ships lol just having cloak and being able to come out and pick your target and blow it to bits makes it pretty simple.......
    Tier 2 at least until Klings have a cruiser is pretty unbalanced seems like the starfleet escort is pretty op ive played games like 1 and 2 on 5 and won them with it lol good times....... after tier 2 though starfleet need to rely on each other even more which is bad since many starfleet are really really awful and you can't just fly in with your escort and own 5 ships your self in a matter of seconds........ and any star fleet that does well is noticed pretty quickly and punished for it lol.........
