End game pvp feels just as bad as it did in 2021

[Stunbot]

Still nothing but broken damage reduction perk stacking on top of fortify stacks, firestaff doing more damage than the bow with half the effort, and blunderbuss making every close melee fight completely one sided. Nice, gg. Still all about zerging and numbers over individual skill. Guess that's a wrap

i agree..they need to reduce the number of players on OPR...and also add diminishing returns for stuns and CC, its horrible.

[dgullion]

It almost seems worse. Because of these Influence Races. I just do not understand them and ready to just stop trying to do them. Because it always leads to the same outcome, a war declaration. The PvP is just become the largest zerg wins and soon the servers will again be dominated by just the largest guilds.

What they need to do is make 725 gear more accessible than only through raids and free-for-all PvP zones. I agree, though. PvP has no real balance to it, but it makes healers that much more useful. With 1-3 good healers, you can win any OPR.

No, i like the large pvp matches, maybe the could add a 5v5 or 10v10 mode but they do not need to lower the player count in OPR...

They NEED to add new OPR maps.

isn't that happen in ALL MMORPG, either u dominate by money or by power, and about guild, all company have max member capacity so no one bigger than other, but in pvp, usually we make ally with other guild in same faction so they help us in war just like we help them in war, that how u get big number of people, by socializing and making ally between guild/company. that's normal in any MMORPG.

Yeah its so stupid that you can no longer craft and sell the highest gear score equipment anymore. Such a horrible choice.

This 100%

Damn, you all are a bit prickly here. lol

My point is, I can run PvP all night doing influence races. But it does not change anything. It seems the threshold of influence defended to influence pushed is just way out of balance. Because at the end of the night, every single race ends up with war decs.

And that is with a faction that pushed like 8% influence and the defenders defended 90%. They still get a war dec. It is pointless to even do them from what I experienced.

Opr doesn't need reduced player count or any of that..grinding gear with time and money is fine, etc etc it's just this stupid perk stacking. There's literally no reason to use anything but enchanted ward and aversion on your gear. There's just way too much damage reduction still on gear. I'm 450 dex running bow/rapier at almost 700gs and i legit can't make a dent in half the players in Opr due to perk stacking fortify and healers. It's sleeper mode. Its not fun at all. I don't really care too much about opr but give it 1 to 2 months when all the sweats have 40% damage reduction from perks in pvp, making it just a numbers game.


On top of this mounts have completely killed 1vx in open world. You engage anyone that has more than 2 boyfriends holding their hands and they just mount up dash over to you with the same 200 con 40% damage reduction hatchet gs build, dismount on top of you and there's nothing you can do. No kiting, no outplaying, just gg.

DESTROYYYYYYYYYYYY HATCHET !!!!!!!!!! 12 second UNSTOPEBOL 1 BOTOOM BROKEN OVER POWERED POISON

[Akro[ma]]

OPR is a joke. I tried yesterday from my fresh character. We was against top player in opr from Nysa.
Nothing to tell more.

[Kurada]

The biggest disappointment is that there is still only 1 Opr map in 3 years time , says enough in how they think about pvp and content . Firestaff has a much shorter range than bow so yeah more dmg . Hatchet wins over any blunderbuss if u play it right.But in general the game has more bugs for me than in 2021 ..
