not sure how OG you consider OGs.
But I started Day one of normal release didnt play Beta or alpha only one day on open Beta so I dont spoil myself the game which in the end was a good choice.
Nothing beats the first time MMORPG experience without being prepared havent watched hours and hours of guides on how to things before it even released!
But I did have a month break in between release and now in April-May
My wife and I are automatically slotted in WAR for our company but tbh I prefer OPR any day of the week.
I still play. I took a break in April and came back in June. Wars are my least preferred pvp mode, though. I prefer open world>OPR>arenas>war.
Thanks for sharing.
Interesting to see a lot of PVPers not interested in Wars which contradicts what you often see on the forums.
Day one player here. Could not be less interested in wars. I see their appeal but I prefer emergent, small scale PvP over zergs any day of the week.
Agree. And for some reason when a war breaks out in a fort in open world PvP it’s much more amusing than in a war fort PvP
Been playing since Beta. I play everyday since launch. Far as I’m concerned outside of OPR pvp is boring. Open world pvp just doesn’t exist and 3v3’s is a boring game of tag. War was and still is an utter disappointment. OPR has issues but at least its tolerable. Just gonna keep hoping pvp becomes something more as time goes by.
Me and a buddy have been playing pvp since launch still enjoying it
Gold selling and war logging go hand in hand.
Of all the top PvP companies on NAE, the vast majority of them have been PvPing since the start of the game. Each company has kind of consolidated entire servers together into one company, so depending on what server you started out on, you can probably find groups of people you know still playing.
Go ask supple on cos
Was about to come back to the game, then found out they made changes to dodge windows during animations and immediately alt f4d. No wonder most of the actual good pvpers i knew quit the game…can press shift at any point in time and just win
What you mean exactly ? I dont see any changes in dodge execpt that stamina regen. With 1 or 2 sec delay what is good and u can dodge while rooted which is dumb? Maybe I miss something or just dont remember …
Think the update was a few months ago? Before they changed it you couldn’t dodge at all if you were committed to a weapon swing. Now you have extended windows after you swing or have started a swing to dodge. This eliminates the competitiveness and mindgames in small scale PvP which I loved. For example back when I used to play with ham/axe, I would wait for someone to commit to a chain basic attack knowing they won’t be able to dodge for a second, or swing fake into shockwave stun catching them off guard while they commit to a weapon swing and are unable to dodge. With slow abilities like shockwave now and how many more opportunities you have to dodge, you can make a mistake by commiting to an attack but still have the ability to dodge a stun because of the extended window of time they granted. I tested a bunch of weapons and was baffled by how much more animation cancelling was possible. Don’t mean to be salty, but I preferred the game how it was before and am disappointed. The changes do make the game feel “smoother” but it just isn’t for me
I know what You mean 
back in the days I was outplaying almost anyone, no matter what build ;p
now its harder
When the game launched I was heavily involved in wars on my server and our company was a mainstay for the roster. I quit the game after a few months, and am now returning because of all the QOL changes that have been made. I hope that others have the same idea, and give it a shot again. So far I am extremely happy with the changes, but I see where you are coming from. The amount of open world PvPers is drastically lower than it used to be. My company is looking to get our foot into the door with wars and what not on our server. Hopefully we can attract some of the old vets coming back, and the new players excited for pvp.
Haha yeah, lots of forgiveness now and just feels more gear/spec based now imo
Nowadays if I log I do summer event,and some pve I totally quit pvp.
yea ;d when I returned I had like 600 gs and I thought I am okay I wasn’;t
This pretty much.
Whenever Im getting a break from my musket shenanigans I roll hatchet GA or hatchet SnS and im like: uf I do feel the 602 GS on this build xD
