Yea couse game does require from player to do PVE. So you have ppl doing;
- arena
- opr
- opne world pvp in forts
- pve stuff (golden scarabs runs, flare farm, m10 runs and more)
Ofc it does, there is overlap in most activities in the game.
But if his conclusions (personal and biased) were correct the number of active OPRs instances per server would not be averaging 1-2, on most popular servers (in the daytime ofc, cause at night its way under 1, and thats understandable).
He said most people do arenas only for Gypsum in his experience, but he didnt apply the same rules to OPR… cause reasons.
You either have a objective look on things or u dont.
And being delusion thinking that 50% of the game population is PvP players just makes people look stupid, just because we are a much smaller procentage of the playerbase does not mean we dont deserve content or anything like that.
I’m personally super disapointed that it’s taken them over a year to make cross-server and who knows when we will get another OPR map (we should have 3-4 by now), and who knows when we are going to get a ranked system for it and all the other things we deserver. But the truth is i understand why the focus is on other content and the % of PvP players is the reason.
Albo remember you have wars on evnings when you have peak of population on each server.
right now on barri there is 48 pages of ppl that did play OPR. And like 35+ of ppl that win min. 20 OPR games. And its 100 players per page.
There is also 700+ players that win 10+ arena games.
And on OPR leaderboard there is 1500+ players that have KDR 0.5+
Again, so you can accept that there is overlap in PvP players doing PvE activities (because the game “forces” them too).
But you cannot accept there is PvE players that do PvP activities for the gypsum ?
And honestly 20 OPR wins is nothing, we get 7-10 roughly / evening (3-4 times a week), just bantering on discord after work (if we don’t have other activities to do).

Yes they do. Thats why i would not calculate ppl that have lets say less than 30-40opr wins and kill ratio below 0.5
Also we have to consider a lot of people enjoy both, I’ve been “forced” by my friends to do M10s couple of times, because they geniunely enjoy the content, and I too think its nice, ofc I would never do 25/week.
Anyway, you can look at the date, and I promise you that you will not reach the conclusion the guy in the video did that 50% of the population of the game are active PvP players.
I would say like 60-80% players in fact are pvx.
And pvp only and pve only are minority.
Maybe on ur server. On barri i see 909 ppl having 1+ kill ratio on OPR lol. 900 is a lot.
Nah. There is a lot of ppl playing pvp. A way more than you think.
And ppl that go opr to get gypsum are not 1+ or even 0.5+ KDR on opr. They dont have gear and skill to do that.
As i said, we can talk teoretically and review biased date all we want.
All we have to do is log in to the game, go on any server see how many of the players actively play OPR (what is the % of the population that is actively engaged in PvP at any given time compared to the active population of the game), I would say OPR is the easiest activity to judge since less people play Arena (so little in fact that is almost impossible to 3v3 premade most of the time) or OWPvP which with the exception of pushes is dead.
No. OPR is not all. I do play sometimes for 6-7h and do 0 opr games. So im not pvp player? Fact that im not farming opr all day long does not make me pve player lol.
I have friend that does pvp only and 99% of his time in game he does duels.

Why do you keep reporting my replies?
If you chose to spend most of ur time on and what you enjoy doing with ur time is PvE… that makes u a PvE player…
or do you “choose to identify as a PvP player” kekw>?
I can confidently say that that most of my time spend in game was flagg even when leveling, doing OPR, Wars, Arenas, Duels… not chopping trees, the gold from wars is enough to buy all the trees from the TP 
Dude im pvx as 80%+ of player base. Its very simple. Accept it.
Ofc ofc, with a focus on PvE, like most of the playerbase.
Hence why most of the content we get is PvE focused, because most players are PvX (PvE focused).

It’s also just ridiculous that people think I would want their opinions taken down. Everyone should be allowed to voice their opinion regardless if i think disagree with it, its part of progress. Doubt someone with a victim mentality (like said person) would understand…
I’m even for trash-talk being allowed, since it is and was always part of the internet afterall. We metaphorically tea-bag each other (with the new emote ) and after we move on. Todays enemies might be tomorrows allies 
mhmmm
Not saying you are wrong but the people who wanted new world to work were more interested in things you dont want. But if they want to be another classic MMO with themepark rides and easy loot they probably will retain players. I dont see how they do that without killing off crafting.
Because it’s old school, it isn’t flashy and doesn’t have zoom zoom combat like most people on this forum want.
It has tactical combat and it’s balanced. Oh yea, it also has a class system…imagine that. NW was on this path on launch, it was plagued with bugs and exploits, then the remaining population requested a fast action combat game. Here we are now
I wouldn’t say it’s balanced. But they’ve said they aren’t really trying to balance it atm. I think a lot of it is that going in and losing everything, is just not that painful in D&D.
