I made my own thread on same topic… if anyone wants to upvote it and generate some traffic to gives this topic some more tractions…
Yesterday we made two parties and applied for OPR in primetime starting at 20h CET.
- Two hours later still no OPR … .
GG AGS you fucked up your game left, right and center… .

Ye - and I can tell you you wont climb expertise 600 with OPR caches in the next 3-4months … you have to run chests.
You cant upgrade 600-625 there is no pvp sidepath → you have to do dungeons.
Thats the fail - war rewards, opr rewards = 
yeah… it seems mutations siphoned the casuals away from opr. Unintended consequence?

In my server the casuals were still signing up for OPR. it was the sweatiest players grinding in mutators to get every edge. And once they got their gear score up to 615 or so they came back to stomp people.
Fantastic. That should bring new players in !
Wrong, it’s huge. Both in large wars and OPR

it is. I saw the difference immediately when I went up against players with higher gs weapons.
Yes, yes you are!
That makes no sense. You dont start with 500. Even if you hit 60 today and buy a 600 item you wanna use later, its 550. 600 GS + 500 exp will be 1100/2. So your bought 600 item is 550 and will increase every bump you gonna do for your expertise. A friend hit 60 right before the patch and 1 week later he has most of the slots on 550+ and thats done only with gypsum and daily chestrun.

You realize you can go to the new world db website… look at the weapons… shove them to 625… divide the damage at 625 by that at 600… and you get about 3.8% damage difference… there is ZERO chance any of you actually FEEL the difference of a 625 hitting you vs the 600
You probably have other gaping flaws in your gear or gameplay to explain why you’re always dead

3.8% on every hit they do to you and 3.8% less damage you do to them? Yes, you notice it. And that’s if you are at full 600 gs. I’m just under with no good way to get to that 625 so yeah i notice it and I can’t do anything about it.
Why not? You have the ability to buy and craft your own Mutated orb just like everyone else.
What is stopping you for LFG and using your own orbs?
You’re making excuses.
Nobody said it was 3.8% less damage from them upgrading their armor to 625. That’s merely the difference in flat base damage.
Also nobody you were facing at the time was full 625 anyways. Probably 619 or 620 weapons and other random bumps.
I’ve cleared gold 10 repeatedly the first week and I don’t have enough to bump a full set to 625.
Also go claim you can detect a 7.6% delta is disingenuous, mechanics and playstyle account more for the difference.
What is probably happening is the player with higher gear score just plays more than you. And you don’t have equivalent mechanical skill so you did and blame the gear. Not having 600 gear at this point simply means you play casually, and you probably are making huge blunders in pvp.
Running dungeons like that is not an option for me. Luckily the devs have listened and are adding umbral shards to outpost rush rewards. This solves the shard problem for me. Thank you for not being helpful at all.
depend if you got gold to buy you some spot with people that run it. cause after the company took almost every gold of every people online good luck paying 50k for a spot un 8+
Another excuse. If you can do OPR you can do a dungeon with your own orb.

OPR is easier to get into. You don’t have to spend the time trying to get a group together to do a dungeon. OPR I can do easily. Dungeons not so much. Just because it is one way for you don’t assume it is the same for everyone else. Your experience isn’t the only one that matters.

Good news from the February PTR announcement.
"
- Outpost Rush Caches now reward 2 pieces of Outpost Rush specific armor and an Outpost Rush specific weapon. In addition, there’s also an added 15% chance of receiving a 4th item which may be a piece of Outpost Rush specific Jewelry.
- Significantly increased the likelihood that Outpost Rush Cache rewards will increase player Expertise ratings.
- Outpost Rush gear now rolls from a fixed list of perks that are more ideal for PvP combat. This means that traits like “Beast Ward” will no longer be found on Outpost Rush gear.
