PvP Dev request

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
With all the PvP threads on these forums that are going absolutely nowhere.....Klingons are OP, Carriers are OP, Feds need carriers now!:mad:, Nerf the BoP, Fed cruisers need more hull, Can't beat the Fed ball,nerf the Nebula!, Why can't I tank in my escort?, Give all Fed ships Battle Cloak now!.....do I need to go on?:rolleyes:

My request to the Devs: post a vid of an all Dev PvP match,FvK.....(no K command!:p) And if you're in the mood,a FvK Cap and Hold.

I think it's time the experts from Cryptic show us how it's really done....so Devs,are you up for the challenge....?

(It might spawn a whole new series of threads though.....Devs are OP, Nerf the Devs, All Devs need Battle Cloak, Devs need more hull:D)

    Amen brudda!

    If the Devs showed us how it is done, and commentary on how and why they did certain things, then maybe the calls for balancing and nerfing will be toned down.

    I don't think the Devs "know how it's done". They might play, but they probably don't play as often as most people that you see daily in PvP. And certainly not as often as the Premades.

    At best, they might know the game mechanics (on how skills interact and all that) better then many of us - but they don't necessarily know the emergent strategies and tactics resulting from that.

    Another "Play with the Devs" event would be nice, though. Just to remind them how the game plays for us, what we do...

    Well....some of them are avid PvPers,StormShade is one of them.The reason for my request.....have you ever seen a post from a Dev, 'asking' for a nerf because he or she couldn't win in PvP?

    Designers have certain roles in mind for certain ships,and before we even get to see them on Tribble,Devs playtest them to see if their ideas work as intended,and to see if it's balanced to what is already in the game.
    When something new is introduced to the game,players need to adapt to the new situation,and so do the Devs.I,for one,would like to see what strategies and tactics they came up with.

    And I think it would be fun to watch....maybe have them edit the vid like they do on tv for sports,including commentary from DStahl.:) (would be awesome for a Cap and Hold match)

    StormShade made a great post on PvP in the 'Federation NEEDS Battle Cloak' thread,and since it got closed...nobody will ever read the things he mentioned,which is kinda sad...and proves my point of having this 'all Dev PvP brawl'.

    StormShade....showing people is far more effective than telling people.

    Why would they? It would be redundant. They would just go over and talk to the programers and viola! Problem solved. (Rasberry Tart) :P

    I was being sarcastic to all the people 'crying nerf' for no good reason.

    The Raspberry Tart TRIBBLE was not directed at anyone in particular. It was in exasperation at the situation.
