Quantum warhead module severely overperforming in pvp

adz006adz006 Member Posts: 125 Arc User
200k hits and a moderately de-buffed opponent reminds me of the days of entropic, 70-80 base per charge.(xx) deals 152917 (274185) Kinetic Damage(Critical) to you with Warhead Module - Quantum (6 charges).

    Nothing should be able to defeat an opponent in one shot, so far cryptic done good to eliminate these issues.

    The real fix is to remove PVP from the game.

    Until then, perhaps we need one general thread on "PVP - I was killed by X so it must be nerfed!" and one on "PVP - I can no longer insta-kill someone using Y so it must be nerfed!"

    yes, actually, you should be able to kill someone in one shot - it is extremely common in other PvP games, and is called the 'headshot'​​

    Too bad you do not get to tell people what threads they can or cannot comment on.

    I'm merely pointing out a fact that if said issue doesn't concern him then he doesn't have to post. PvP is the bread and butter of many games lets not forget that, all I'm doing is highlighting an issue

    The problem is that when PVPers demand nerfs for everything that kills them or they can't kill, those nerfs are applied to PVE too.

    99% of players lose fun toys because the 1% doesn't want to deal with them in PVP. Getting rid of that 1% is most definitely a fix that would let the rest of us keep our fun.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,913 Arc User
    I agree with dave. I don't PvP, ever. Not even for an endeavor.

    You don't ask for something to be nerfed because you can't deal with it, you find ways to deal with it.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.

    PvP isn't the bread and butter of this game, and considering the toxic attitude of other pure PvP games, I'm glad PvP barely registers in STO's radar. As a gamer of 35 years, I can tell you this....PvP ruins games.

    But I'll ask you this, when this game has you geared so you can inflict silly damage against NPC's because they have 10 times the HP's, why are you surprised you're getting vaped in PvP!? Simple Reverse Shield Polarity and stock up on Armour. Glass cannon designs may get you through PvE, but it's useless in PvP if you aren't carrying protection!

    It is not however the bread and butter of STO, nor has it ever been so. He had every right to post his opinions on the matter regardless of what you think about it as does anyone and everyone else. Eliminate pvp and the problems end is just as valid a comment as any other.

    I didn't say he didn't have the right to post, he can post as he wishes, as are you now, again I'm trying to encourage constructive criticism not,- I hate pvp delete it because that is childish and it doesn't help anyone.

    Fair enough I understand. That is true the gap between skill and setup required between pve and pvp is substantial, and I would say that is mostly down to the difficulty level of the pves and the lack of need of balance in their builds

    I'm up for that :) Forum pvp haha but I'm getting lambasted every time I make a thread about pvp nerfs lol ahh well but all good. All I want is good pvp and so far you guys have made big improvements and I enjoy it. My main goal is only to get the attention of someone that maybe able to look into it. Thanks

    Some things should absolutely be able to defeat an opponent in one shot, but only if they're not paying attention and reacting properly. have you considered popping something which gives you even a moment of damage immunity?

    If there was a means to seperate PvE performance from PvP performance that might help. But the way STO is set up I don't think that's possible.

    And as azrael said, the PvP community can be toxic. Moreso that some of the DPSer PvE community sometimes.
    Many times I have seen threads about "X ability is OP! Plz Nerf!" because they got killed by it in PvP. And many of those instances it was a case of "Why the *beep* won't it die?!" or "How the *bleep* did he kill me so fast?!" And so instead of learning from the experience and trying to find a counter, some people come in with cries of "Its broken! Nerf it into the ground!" in order to reassert their EPeen superiority.

    Is this true of ALL cries to nerf? No.
    Is it true in some cases? Probably.

    Honestly people should experiment before crying Nerf if it involves PvP. If its a PvE thing, then see if others can cooborate the claim. If others agree in either case, then maybe something should be looked at. But not if the reason is "It killed me in PvP" or "I can't kill it in PvP" alone.

    OP, you're more likely to get more positive responses if you don't go rant mode right off the bat. State your case and maybe provide evidence if you have any. Or state the case and see if anyone else has encountered it. Either way... people might be more forthcoming than with a rage post.

    Wait... hold on... bwhahahaha... you think that got scaled because of PvP! ? Lmao

    Come on brother/sister... nothing gets fixed because of pvp or there is an entire slew of BS placates and other stupid stuff that would be gone. That one got nerfed because people where using it to drop big pve targets faster then *insert colourful metaphor*.

    This console can not be used to one shot shielded NPCs... and the 2min cool down for the full 6 charge pop isn't enough to KO multiple unshielded NPCs either.

    So like most things that are Decent to OK in PvE but very good for PvP... this one will not be touched.

    Cryptic good at removing 1 shots? HAHAHHAHAHHAHAA! Most of the pvp for years was people BO3 vaping. Ive 1 shot so many people with my wing cannons ive lost count. And most pvp in any game is 1 shotting people. Sustained dmg in pvp is almost useless.

    Sustained is only good on things like bosses, and here in STO even the bosses get wrecked so fast thats useless. STO lives and breaths on insane burst damage, or completely draining your enemy of the will to live *looks at drain boats*.

    Except for the fact that making this acceptable to the PvPers (5% of the players?) means it gets nerfed to hell for the other 95% of the players. Now if they could make pvpers whine less while leaving the pve alone, then sure, nerf away!

    This console isn't 'the problem' it just showcases how bad pvp is in STO.
