On TTS chat we were informed that 1v1 and 2v2 matches are in the works for STO by a dev. He said that we should start seeing the begining of the new pvp in the next build... thank you Cryptic.
On another note he also said they are adding a cheat/exploiting detecting system

It should be fun Vlad. I hope to setup a match against you when it goes live:D
I wonder how many false reports they're actually gonna get. :rolleyes:
it would kill 5 man team matches like how 5 man team matches kill 10 mans.
That's true. I almost never play 10v10 matches. 1v1... ok. But i really like the idea of 2v2 or 3v3. Thanks for the heads up, Badlander.
Regular: called enemy encounter or something where you queue up and fight a random person your level and you go and fight till one dies. Can be ground or space. Winner gets 5k EC and 20 SP and the loser gets 2k EC and 10SP
Duel: people are in a challenge area and two people agree to a duel and can stake EC and items which go to the winner. same SP though.
I'd love that so much, but cloak would have to be disabled or it would suck.
Also, there would be a high-scores on the website for the people's percentages and win count.
1v1 is just stupid. I think the question you should be asking is how many klingons will be smart enough to stay away :rolleyes:
meet me in kerrat and bring your A game.
been dueling at ther broken p,lanet thing in bottom left of big map in kerrat since open beta, come and get some! dare insult klingon honor!
<S> /rp off
i will dom your face. if i ever manage to get play time im going to hunt you down and pod.. oops wrong game
yeah man! Because in the shows, the Federation and Klingon ships always followed the buddy system and went out in groups of 2 so that when the encountered enemies there would never be a 1v1.......
and there was me thinking we were playing a video game...
:rolleyes:
Well it is Star Trek online.... not wacky space racers online.
Some builds can't be killed by 1 ship, but also can't kill another ship. 2 such builds fighting each other will end in a draw.
I foresee huge problems with this system if there is no timer.
PVE rato is as follows
1 tac = 1 crus or 1 science or 3 light crus
So in the end do to this rato mass PVP does not work.
The only way to stop these gang matches were 10 ships all target one guy is to make games smaller
5 vs 5 should be the max 3 vs 3 should be the bread and butter game.
I also like how the wolf packs gimped raming speed so people can't escape from team ups unless your at 50% hull.
If you want mass battle areas just clean the borg stuff out of the war zones and make them well War zones
unlimited fleet actions with 5 flags that need to be taken. to win works for Day of Defeat. I would love to see sqauds of light cruisers trying to take out a huge battle ship waves of runabouts.
Real fleet actions!
Thanks Were so demanding
this game is not built for 1v1its team orientated
I'm the opposite, I enjoy playing against others.
If we replace "this game" with "my build" your statement makes perfect sense. :rolleyes:
feeble attempt at a flame?
you know your right. I actually couldn't care less if they add 1v1 to this game or not. its your time. you can waste it how you like. I was merely posting why I don't think its a great idea and I still stand by what I said.
peace
I mean to say, playing with people against other people.
Well... I can't argue about it being team oriented, as fighting in teams is our only option atm...
BUT... when they add 1on1, it will also become not-team oriented
I'm really looking forward to 1on1, but even more to 2on2! 1on1 is good for friendly in-fleet competition, but 2on2
will allow for tight teamwork even for players who don't spend all their time in PvP! Organizing and cooperating will be a LOT easier and quicker than it is now!
Ofc, there will be a lot of draws in 1on1... and escorts will be the superior class... I only hope they will have an option to challenge individual players, and not just a random match up...
seems like the upper levels its hard to get a game going, i waited over an hour for a pvp game........
not enough players to launch over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. so i logged out and came here to gripe.
now ima go watch tv or something...........:(
set up a private match.
both players have to be in their friends list, and have to have pvp que window open to see the invite.
then create game and invite. 1vs1 works already, and even counts for the daily.
I'd like to have the opportunity to do random 1on1 too, none of my friends do PvP
TONIGHT (tomorrow morning) THEY WILL FIX THE QUEUES!!! I HAVE GREAT EXPECTATIONS!!!
