How is PvP gameplay in Delta Rising

edited November 2014 in PvP Gameplay
Many discussions are now about state of PvP now.
Here is what i have captured in last 2-3 days in games with members of OPvP.
Quick and dirty look.

We that were playing were actually surprised by how balanced and fun it was, with mixed t5/t6 teams, low levels, max levels, basically "I Xd up" teams.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPXLM91X33U

with(from top of my head):

Tal Outh
lordjiffer
Finn
Spalato
Coconut
Fenra
B4uklotz
D'jedis's Dax
Varoid
T'Powah
Minimax
Callen
Vex

and others.

First part is 15:14 match and in second part are few fun clips from other games we did.

I'm still lvl 75 and still experimenting with intel build setup for Faeht(possibilities are enormous) and i don't have any upgraded gear, so my build is kind of half-way there but regardless, it's not half that bad as i thought it was gonna be after test which i did with spalato.

    I'm actually having a good bit of fun with DR PVP. Fighting intel ships is an interesting shake-up, even though I have no desire to fly one myself yet. Many folks claimed T5-u would be rendered obsolete by T6, but my Nicor performs splendidly.

    Upgrading my gear is a pain, but a dull, manageable pain.

    The setting in game for camera shake - usually occurs with any sort of kinetic damage, the screen shakes. Causes motion sickness in some people. It's the first thing I turn off on a new toon...both Ground and Space.

    Nah, you don't have to do that...wasn't a complaint directed at you. Was just me bemoaning myself. I dig watching a lot of the videos out there, but I just can't watch some of them because I start to get motion sickness from it. I think I could count on one hand the number of folks I've seen mention the same problem and still have enough fingers left over to scratch a few things. I shouldn't have said anything, it was just literally a forum blurt out of a damn, I wanted to watch sort of thing.

    Well, from your previous post it sounds like it's unbearable("I can't stand it")
    I actually never noticed it in all those years playing and never had complain about it from ppl watching my vids.

    It may not seem so, but making video that is more then just uploading pure unedited gameplay takes some effort, I even remix every piece of music and make some sound effect for my vids(with more or less success, right),
    so I was surprised at that kind of comment, at first i thought you are trolling me.

    Anyway, even that can be corrected for few people that get motion sick, which is a good thing.

    On to PvP gameplay itself.

    Like it can be seen in video Ionic turbulence can be escaped easily even without HE in team gameplay, it's rather opposite when you're getting focus pounding with stuns, disables along with turbulence.

    It is the same as with combined EWP, Theta, black hole, doffed PSW etc. before.
    And contrary to people that think there is a counter to such combined strike, there is not.

    If you get stunned/nuked and then put into turbulence cloud along with maybe a TB, doffed TBR hold it's respawn screen for you.
    A2D/APO can be nuked, full+ power levels won't help you, ST, ET, IT and 6pts+ undine deflector won't help you either, it's basically respawn screen for you after you watch grayed out trays for few seconds.

    There is no clear for some of the stuff and there should be.

    Luckily in team gameplay it is easy to avoid getting hit by ugly end of cheese stick and what's more to have fun.
    In 1v1 or kerrat ppl bring all sorts of unclearable BS for years to feel better so that's nothing new.

    choice of music makes that "tralala" effect :) i have noticed it too. and i didnt really bother finely combing through edit. done the vid this afternoon. But it was fun playing.

    Anyway. we just did 3 big OPvP games 10v10 8v8 and 6v6. was great with bang, impact and lots of explosions lol.

    Only fkn failsafe scrambler effect is annoying.

    you should've seen it before they toned it down...it was blinding - literally

    as in, almost as intense as seeing an actual flashbang go off
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Actually I'm refusing to upgrade my T5 ships to T5-U, and I am certain without even looking that T5 is a waste of time. Plus 6 of my 7 toons are still lvl 50. That's why I dont bother with PVP anymore--I'm not going to pay their extortion for the current end-game quality, and my present status is too much of a handicap.

    ps--when Fleet T6 comes out, T5-U will be completely pointless and obsolete

    Well, as far as I could see from numerous games we did this week, Recluses and Tal shiar cruisers are still best AoE healers unmatched in t6 , Vesta can still hold fine in classic partigen setup, Wells can still AoE debuff and even faster now and can go vs Scryer in team setup.
    Only ships that are now basically scrap metal are old fleet ships, and i'm afraid, my favorite fed Dyson which needs heavy gear upgrade to stay in game.

    It is dependant on gear status and traits, not necessarily on ship itself.

    Well, yeah, you're right, if you refuse to upgrade you will be behind. I did upgrade, and now I rock in peeveeps. Your call, I guess :p
