One year ago it was happening
this.
I miss the good old nights I had PvPing with the guys in OPVP, screaming and laughing on TS, setting ESD on fire and, most importantly, having fun.
Or this where the only thing that didn't get stomped was my Excelsior.Or this.
Now it's all gone.

PaxOttomana: gawd mirror event is like fighting a tsi premade, they keep comin and comin!
Those 10v10s and 5v5s we organized on OPvP. That short crossover from s8.5 to s9 was best, most massive and most varied STO PvP ever had.
It lasted all the way until R&D bullsht revamp and then I stopped playing until DR disaster.
Back then I could just switch to one of my 6 toons and i was ready to PvP in second.
Sadly it will never happen again. Glad i captured and uploaded some of those games.
This 10v10 was also great.
and this full randomSCI tanks vs Romulans PUG with famous names on both sides.
And of course OPvPs Klingons vs Feds OPvP 10v10 best of 3
For me all fun ended here though, week before Delta Rising 4 games compilation with partial OPvP made vs Pugs.

Some new people will maybe have fun with PvP again if they don't take it down completely. Me, I can't even bring myself to double click the launcher anymore.

After bran left it went downhill. I spoke with him ingame some weeks ago during bugship promo... Damned old memories of Ker'rat nights where we'd have 20 freaking instances during the Avenger launch. he says "you guys [PvPers] are awesome!", I wish he'd still be our CM.
I think I'll just go back and toy around in Watch Dogs, or raking up kilometers made in Ferraris in Driveclub to unlock the LaFerrari.
I guess I'm going to log in again uh... With S10. Spend a few mins in sector space, do the mission and shut it down again. They can keep their T6 gimmicks, I don't want to target hitpoint bags, nor I'm going to need an overpriced ship to do that.
They took the fun we had one year ago, all the balanced mechanic that yielded to epic matches without silly stuns or I win clickies and killed it.
Well season 5-6 had tric and TBR hax so it wasn't as good as s8-9 for me.
but all troughout game had pvpers in it before inglorious death.

S8 and S9 were great for PvP, there was so much variety and so many players back then. Now everything's more totaled than a Ferrari having a head-on collision with a wall of solid marble at 350km/h.
I remember a random 5v5, 58. gesh... Wader...? (Dunno how to say it lol) on the other side and Lag Industries on my side. The match was epic, a glorious battle that lasted for too much time: we won 15-14
...now if you get to start a match you will unlock a trophy.
Damn.... i miss those times
Me too pal
Without PvP it's the same grind everyday....
and obviously to grind faster (not to PvP anymore)

so miss the pvp bash's..:(
remember I was new to Sto (& fraps).

nice vid dude.
Yep, there have been the 2015 threads.
Just like there were the 2014 threads.
Just like there were the 2013 threads.
Just like there were the 2012 threads.
Just like there were the 2011 threads.
Might even be some 2016 threads...doubt there will be any 2017 threads.
Each time...folks left. Folks decided not to start. Some folks moved up into the vacuum with their new toys. They drove out other folks. They soured the experience for anybody thinking to give it a try. Then they left at some point. Each time, fewer and fewer folks.
It's about the only thing in the game that actually qualifies as being doomed...
...well, unless it's one of the folks complaining about the Exploration Clusters.
You called? lol
Man I miss those games, as much as I use to scream at everybody they sure were a hell of a lot of fun. Now it's just smacking spacebar and I don't really find that to be challenging or require as much thought or on the fly adjusting of strategies as pvp did.
Those 14-15 matches were the best, even though some times there was some major stress.
Nothing is impossible to him who would try.... except getting cryptic to care about pvp.
It's not just PvP, it's the whole dev team that can't get one right!
Plus they broke their own episode.
Broke account bank, bank and inventory.
Can't do something with their crappy ISP to address the lag.
Have the lead dev insulting a portion of the community.
Have the systems designer say we produce only anger.
Turbonerf everything they can find like Voth Battlezone and XP gain.
Exponentially increase the grind.
Can't fix the PvP scoreboard bug after HALF a YEAR
Can't fix Presidio nacelles.
This game is worse than a malware!
