Just thought I'd mention that for whatever reason for the quest from Jvek. You don't actually have to win to get credit. So what actually happens is a bunch of Klingons with no want to even try to play just harass the feds for the whole game and are basically trouble making freeloaders. Just think you should actually have to win so maybe more would participate and actually do something? I am on Klingon side and it kinda sucks with a full team that I am the only one scanning anything game after game. I completed the quest a long time ago. Just trying to have fun playing but it kinda sucks when no one is even trying because they get to complete their quest as a freebie.

Because rewarding people for failure is practically the name of this game.
I suggest that, if you want to play a War Zone to win, go to N'vak. We're always outnumbered in Kerrat anyway, so doing the nodes is practically impossible.
Though I'm glad they fixed it so you can't scan nodes in cloak anymore. Made it waaaay too easy for the Klinks.
I think credit is fine for these War Zones and PvP, win or lose, especially considering how lopsided the queues or populations can be at various times. Just reduce skill points or don't grant the special mission awards to the losing side.
Usually first thing I do is a /who
That brings up sweet memories. Coffee and cigarettes went together like lovers and satin sheets. It is what I miss most quitting smoking.
The drapes not stinking though, is a nice consolation prize.
Best of luck. I did it 25 years. I know how hard it is. When your ready, you'll know. It really is one of those "when the student is ready, the master will appear" moments.
The REASON the fed get harrassed is that the Klingons get spawn camped in Ker'rat by 5-7 fed while 2 other fed go and scan then destroy the nodes. This hasn't been addressed by Cryptic AT ALL so the only way it will get fixed is to "play" the zone once the feds win.
By doing this it will cause more qq from fed which as usual will result in change because they don't listen to the Klingon players.
Qapla'
Hegh QaQ federation
To get their dailies done?
Its true... the klinks are always outnumbered... it is almost impossible most days to win it anyway. The only time where there in numbers is when we decide to stage a take over so the fedys CAN not get there daily done, hey where else is this war.
That works.... but if you want to win... decloak... kill the fed... then scan the node.
No NO No we are just stopping you from completing it so our klingon friends can complete it for the empire LOL can I say LET US HAVE OPEN PVP. QQ
What AK said... if you see encryption errors, that means we won. It is easier to beat the other team if there scanning ships are respawning.
Because klingons go to Ker'rat for 2 reasons:
1. Blow up fed ships
2. Because the daily requires it
Ker'rat is only slightly worse in this regard than Salvage Operation. People want to pew pew, not navigate around a map scanning things.
Then wouldn't it be nice if they stayed out of ker'rat?
Sure. The problem is the nature of the dailies. If there was 1 type of daily that said, "Compete in 3 PvP matches," I'm pretty sure most klinks would stay out of Ker'rat.
I think too many people have auto target, auto attack, maintain..
which kinda makes me giggle a little, not because it doesn't matter in this game, i guess.
If you were to do that in at least two other major MMO's your guild would cuss you out
I have in the past, not been bothered, by not even engaging in the fight. I feel there is quite a few people who want to do the 1v1 thing there. But generally, if you don't attack, most people will recognize your not interested doing it.
Half the fun there is going after the same guy over and over.
I feel a little bad when one of them leaves or logs... sometimes they call in there friends and then its just too much fun. (We really need an open PvP zone)
I have noticed since the changes in 1.2 more feds seem to be enjoying the forced PvP more.
I probaly shouldn't admit it but seeing how many nasty PM messages you can get in a foreign language is a great mini game. (I think I'm up to 4)
We're KLINGONS!!!!
Pretty much true and in case you have not noticed, these are sometimes farmer teams.
Some fleets, like the 12th, do large organized Kerrat spawn camps.
I have occasionally spent time harassing certain Fed players over and over and over again after finally breaking out of a Kerrat spawn camp if it is clear there are not enough Klingons in the instance to try and win (you need at least two people for several of the nodes as you cannot actually destroy some of the probes/sphere as they are un-target-able... one has to draw their fire whilst the other scans).
After finding myself on the receiving end of a particularly egregious camping I called in a pack of fleet mates to all enter the zone at once to break the camp (which we did) and we then did nothing but harass the former campers for the next half hour.
Also, not sure on how many Feds have to be in Ker'rat for it to reset in aprox 10 minutes, but I've been in the zone many times with the resets happening so fast I barely have time to scan 2 maybe 3 Nodes while killing Borg to clear them.. :rolleyes:
