Community PvP Event - August 3rd - 2 Timeslots (BST and PDT/EDT)

pwebranflakespwebranflakes Member Posts: 7,741
Hi Captains!

I am organizing an in-game (Holodeck) Community PvP Event for this coming Friday.

The first timeslot will be at 9pm BST/ 1pm PDT/ 4pm EDT.

The second timeslot will be at 5pm PDT/ 8pm EDT/ 1am BST.

Let's plan to meet in orbit of Bajor. From there, we'll queue up for private matches. Feel free to attend with a character on either faction. We'll try and do as many matches as possible, including a mix of space and ground, for one full hour. Please join the OrganizedPvP channel to see any communication/ instructions from myself.

If you can't make it Friday, I would like to try and do these often, and on different days/ times. Feel free to post constructive feedback in this thread with ideas, including if you would like to see this expanded to other types of events (STFs, PvE, Fleet Actions etc.).

Hope to see many of you Friday!

Cheers,

Brandon =/\=

    I really wish I weren't going to be on the road during this! Hopefully, I will catch you next time!

    Is there any open world PvP? I am new to this game, but I really love PvP in other games, and I have enjoyed the matches I have been able to get.

    Kerrat is similar to open pvp with some pve element. That's as close as it gets for quite some time, if ever.

    Odds are any of the people you will see in kerrat will not join in on organized PvP. Reason being is that most of these people who go there think of pvp as a group of players attacking one target and feeling like they have accomplished something.

    Although one thing for PvP in the regard of Kerrat being like open pvp or world pvp I think one element of a game that gets censored if I type in the name of it... Back when they had a behind the enemy lines type of system for world pvp they had this thing where if you killed so many people like as far as spawn camping or just plain griefing them that eventually you'd get a big giant skull on top of your head and it would kick you out of any pvp for a day. I think to ensure the pve aspect of that... That should happen here because I know there are a lot of players out there that just do not go to kerrat due to the spawn camping of people with very little gaming skill.

    no premade teams eh? what kind of community event is this?

    also... why isnt this also in the pvp section?

    also! (something constructive) why not have a fleet community pvp event? requirments you have a team all from one fleet... i mean season 6 is the season of the fleet right?

    keep trying....ask questions....re-evaluate your build. sadly it's a steep learning curve but it doesn't take too long to keep from the one shots except from the very best.

    I'll try my best to be there.

    On the AMS point, it's just a can of worms, IMO. I hate it as much as the next guy, but realistically if we're banning stuff that's stupidly OP we'd be banning phasers and danubes and such too. Disables are currently permastunning weapons in specific circumstances, so unless that's fixed on thursday psw and other disables would have to be banned too... And you see where this is going...

    Aww bummer !

    This sounds like a really great event but as much as I'd like to attend I'm leaving on vacation the day before the event and won't have a PC with me.

    :mad::mad::mad:

    I hope this becomes a regular event- we NEED this in ST:O.

    the developers of the pvp portion of this game absolutly dont have a clue.

    a single jem hedar attack ship can kill a 5 man team alone.

    i have 68.1 in power insulator on my bortasqu polaron resistance around 49%.

    I have 6 shield buffs and 4 hull.

    9 out of 10 pvp matches i have highest damage and kills so im no slouch in the arena.

    every match that there is a jem hedar attack ship in it, the jem hedar kills everyone and has 3 times more damage then anyone else on his team.

    the others on the team dont have time to shoot anyone because shields are down in 1 to 2 seconds and hull the same with all defence skills popped.

    this tells me the developers of this game dont have a clue and are probably on crack.

    last match which was 5 minutes ago the jem hedar attack ship did 500k damge the rest of his team didnt have over 50.

    did the peopel that balance this game do some bad acid before making this ship?

    Im running the same kind of weapons and consoles as the jem hedar ship accept i have beams.

    I tried the full jem hedar set against it to, i never scratched his shields.

    Im sure there will be the usual fan boys that get on and say its operator error but they are like the extreem left they dont really matter.

    the developers of this game need to take a good look at how they build things.

    anyone that understands what im saying will stay far away from a rediculas pvp tournament that was made for a few people that got a jem hedar ship.

    there might be a few good players that can take a garuba in but in the end only one ship will win and everyone already knows what that will be.

    maybe a dev could post a reply to this question: why would you make one ship so obviously op'd?.

    with 68.2 power insulation and shields, still drop "without exaggeration' in one second you obviously dont understand the word "balance"

    Where have u been dan? They fixed lol'abouts and phasers. Lol'about chrono procs can now be dispelled, phaser procs last 5 seconds and cant be chained anymore. lol'arons, AMS, omega force 3pc, Grav pulse, Iso Charge, and Photonic displacement, which are the extreamly broken skills ingame.

    Im sorry but l2p, Jem hadars arent reduculusly OP. They are slightly better, a defiant can me more or less the same. With the same exact Jem hadar spec and build o a defiant, I there is a 5-10% diference. Not that significant.

    while i agree that the devs really should learn to play their own game. jem ships are not that op. sure theyre more powerful then current ships slightly but when other fleet ships come around theyll be just like everything else.

    as a side note, id love to take on your ship with my recon :) if youd like to duel hit me up in game sometime. @matteo716
