I have leveled one of my Klingons to the new LVL Cap of 51. Now there is nothing to do at all for him, except the Daily Exploration Mission. The Daily PvP Mission can't be completed because there are no PVP games. I waited more than 2 hours in the Capture and Hold Queue, and not a single game was started. The same yesterday.
The Daily Fleet Action is a joke all by itself. When I did it today on one of my Feds, who also is LVL 51 already, it was as easy as easy can be, due to the huge amount of Feds in the instance. The Klingon version however was completely deserted, I zoned in several times during the day, and never any other Klingon was in there besides me.
I'd seriously like to know if Cryptic is even remotely aware of the state of the game for Klingons, and if so, what are the plans to make it better. The new low level missions in 2.0 do nothing for the longtime Klingon that has been playing since release and stuck it out so far, and they didn't get any new refit ships like the Feds which probably would have given most of us an incentive at least. And now they effectively took PVP, the only thing Klingons could do pre 2.0, away.
There is nothing left that makes it even remotely worth to wait for an improvement anymore, If Cryptic is interested of keeping the Klingons alive they have to act very very fast.
The queues are probably pretty quiet atm because of peeps doing the new episodes and levelling their char up in a less "non-buggy pvp queue system" way in the Borg sector.
Give it a couple of days and the queues will go back to the normal numbers.

I hope the queue will go back to normal again. But looking at my friends list, even less Klingons are playing now.
Dstahl said they were going to have an emergency meeting ( or something along the lines of that ) about the PVP queue. they know it is a problem, and lets hope they fix it.
For the last few months we have heard alot of hype and promises about season 2 bringing great content for klingon faction. I must admit the new klingon missions are great but fall way short of this game having 2 equal fully played factions as promised pre-beta.
In fact it has done the reverse by introducing unbalenced number of new ships to the only 2 factions in the game. The main reason for this i suspect is due to the amount of new c-store sales they can get from fed players compared to the minority klingon players.
I think they should forget about adding another underdevoloped faction until the klingon faction is a truly fully playable faction. I suspect that season 2 will reduce the number of klingon players even further as they will have even less to do compared to feds after they finish the few new missions. This will further slow down any development into new klingon content due to cryptics greedy approach to the c-store of a subscription game.
In summary season 2 patch is going to do even more harm to number of regular klingon players
I agree and disagree, you still have the Tuesday weekly episodic content available for both factions at all levels. But yes, the content is quite weak for the Klinks.

I've already spoken out against these multifactional episodes.
They will not do justice to KDF stories.
You can stick them Cryptic.
What makes me angry is that Cryptic made this multifactional episode concept due to the fact they haven't got the man-power to continue developing PvE specific episodes for KDF.
This entire concept is based on supplying the Larger faction , Starfleet with content and as an after thought they make it KDF too.
Your making profits for the suits Cryptic on our backs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way i will continue to subscribe unless you give parity of developement for KDF.
As long as there contineus to be more content for klingons I think it shows that they are working towards it. I think we'll see more klingon content once they get the fed stuff up to snuff, or at least i hope so.. That's my idea of why there isn't research for klingons at this point, they aren't even happy with research on fed side. Perhaps in a way the Feds are buinea pigging everything , which then can be more easily transposed to klingons or other factions later. ( though on that note with the ridiculous amount of explorations you tend to do klingon side it'd be nice to be able to churn out some extra gear from anomalies even as it is now. )
Currently I still find myself wanting to make a third fed toon more than I want to play my Klingon.. It would be nice to get even some patrols as padding in there in between episodes like the feds get. It seems like they would be less involved to draw up and get put in then episodes and would give some more PvE content to Klingons right away..
FYI - Dstalh said that this was a glitch due to an improvement to the balance of pvp games that is causing the problem. I smell boinkage...
PvP is dead.... and Season 2 killed it..
Wait, there is PvP in STO? I thought it was an attempt of making Doom game from 1993 look bad and give them some competition to the DEATH MATCH system from 1993. Of course Doom game from 1993 still got better Death Match system than STO made 17 years later.
Sorry Cryptic but after 6 months of playing 2 (FUBAR) same old, same old Space Death Match maps I just lost my sense of humor and faith in your ability to fix it or make it true and more interesting PvP.
