PVP - Frustrating

edited July 2010 in PvP Gameplay
I came to this game with a few friends and family of mine about a month and half ago, since then, they have all left since they didn't find the PVE part of the game that fun for them. Me on the other hand, is pretty hooked with PVP.

Since the latest patch, I haven't been able to play much PVP at all and I'm que'ing as soon as I get on (I play about 3-4 Hours average a night). Maybe one or two matches a night at most.

While waiting for QUE, which is proving to take longer pre patch, I normally do Space Encounters in the BORG area. I was thinking, maybe I have to be out of combat to be able to succesfully join a PVP Match? (everytime it pops, I click Engage and nothing happens).

I guess if this continues, I might as well cancel, it's becoming irritating more than anything :(

    Cryptic put in a fix for the PvP que system so that it will no longer launch a game if there are not enough people Accepting the match. This is supposed to fix the imbalanced teams that occur, you know those 6vs2 Cap'n'Holds?

    Also, another consideration is the fact that PEOPLE ARE LEVELING thier Rear Admirals and PvP is NOT good XP at that Rank. So if you are a lower rank, the people who are RA's playing their alts are not doing low level PvP since they are leveling their mains. Also once the RA's get to VA's, they have to go about getting emblems for new gear, running the elite STF's for gear and playing around with new ships, specs and loadouts.

    So you've lost most of the alts PvP'ing, most of the Klinks and compounding this problem is the fact that most new players don't even know where the PvP Que system is and don't join it, or those who just don't like PvP or those who are turned off by it because they get WTFPWNED by good players who take the time to learn (even when they get smacked around too).

    Time should heal this problem at lower levels once everyone gets bored with the new content.

    Thanks for your reply and enlightenment. I'm currently RA Uppher Half 7. And it really didn't ocur to me that most are PVE'ing rushing to get to Vice Admiral.

    It was good to vent tho, I feel a ton better :D

    a big issue is that all it takes to crash the qeue is for 2 people to sign up and decline the ready window (then reqeue). It can lock up qeues for quite a while.

    So thats why it asks me to engage only to go into a countdown, just to ask me again and again to engage after I already did the first time?

    The queues just suck, there are enough people trying to PVP for it to work, and I've gotten a few matches since season 2, but the system just never should have gone live because its too sensitive and buggy. Granted, though, its very hard to test those issues on Tribble.

    Seems to me the most simple way to deal with this for the time being would be to limit people to queuing up for just one map. That being said, Snix says they are working on the issue so hopefully that will make it less of a tease, lol.

    Just my 2 cents..

    But I think a better idea would be not to give ppl the option, if you que up than when it has even teams
    it should make everyone join.

    If your doing something else than dont que up but if you do be prepared to be pulled from wherever
    you are to start the match.

    I agree - why queue and then not engage?!
