yeah how dare i be a healer use the weapon intended for healing LOL
life staff has already been nerfed tho , so yeah its a skill issue at this point .
I’m willing to bet you’ve never bothered building the base at all.
Pvx players are watching this thread laughing. Quit complaining and figure it out.
Every opr there are pvp folks sitting outside forts, fighting on roads, sniping from rocks. They should give more points for intelligent plays to incentiveize smart plays over zergy pvp only minded players.
Get off the forums with your complaining and go learn the game mode sheesh

I’d like to see zero stamina damage blocking musket on shield and a speed increase across on walking in block with shield, especially round shield so you can force musket to reposition, with zero downside in pve
Nah. Mages are dead species mate. I stop playing opr months ago, when they added stupid mortal emp ring and opr was flooded with muskets. Now i stop plyain arena to, couse you cant pvp as mage thx to mele LBM spam having no counterplay.
So issue is just a musket. Even bow with big dmg it does its not a big deal, couse you can counter it - projectile is slow, easyto avoid. But musket is just like you took your sword went into laser pistols war. Weapon had stupid desing to begin with. Just most players didnt experience top musket players on their server. And now thx to stupid ring ,even average joe is annoying as hell. But issue was there since day 1. It was just not visible for most players.
Some people forget and focus only on OPR enviroment when archers or muskets can go without any issue or without anybody like roster master, company leader saying they cannot, like most guilds do and force melee parties for wars. Meanwhile melee can participate and enjoy both, for range like bow users - there is not so many slots for territory wars, many guilds do not take even one.
Melee is the best hybrid and compromise if you want particpate in wars, play OPR or PvE.
They are good everywhere and needed.
Somehow melees still dare and yells about nerfing everybody around. This game is doomed by their own greedy community without ambitions and naive devs
Pathetic LBM gang.
The truth is Musket skill requirement is much lower than bow. Hitting with musket, especially that huge Zoom is much easier and zoom should be reduced but maybe talk about others things that melee have or builds they have like gs, ga, hatchet, sns.
Are you serious about mage in arena? It legit has the best toolkit to dominate arenas.
Maybe it’s your build.
Run a medium shirking fort set with alot of slash protect and a VG as secondary and you have the toolkit to win so many games and be top of the scoreboard.
Mage Is the meta in arenas along with bruiser and healer.
Dude medium mage is a bruiser. Medium mage in most cases is like VG/IG where you fight in close combat. Its not a mage build Its not a caster build So you we dont talk about this build.
Mage is light armor caster. And if you think light armor caster is so great on arena, you are welcome to go try few game any time.
Also pretty annoying when a musket is sitting on top of the ruins at sun, and for some reason our ranged is too busy shooting their melee to do anything about it.
Outpost walls need to higher and the doors need to be moved so they are not in line, but staggered with a small keep or building to block los through the outpost.
And remove mortal emp.
Those three changes would help.
Hello Chardis,
PvPers need new maps for OPR and/or new game modes with smaller teams.
Thanks
Dont queue solo unless playing one of the cancerous ranged builds. Only time I will queue in as a melee is with 3 others plus a pocket healer. Their MM is just to shit to count on any form of balance
U arnt alone, amazone is literally crapping on their own games pvp scene by implementing equalized gear to 600 but having players who have the time to grind run around double tapping players in their 625 bis gear. Until they actually add real equalized gear in 3v3 and opr this games pvp will never grow and will continue to be a un competitive joke. Like u said though its great for the small community of hardcore players but pvp in mmos already struggle enough, why make it worse by apealing to a smaller group of players? Good choice amazon lol. In their defense though they are trying lately and have done some great things with the game as well.

We had some good OPR’s today in CoS, seems like people are figuring out some counters to the actual meta. I’ve been using a lot of fortify and I feel it works pretty good.
In my personal opinion this OPR map was designed to have PVE as a large part of it. Maybe rather than nerf nerf nerf, we should be pointing out that we want expansions. I am not worried about changing this OPR map. I am advocating for MORE maps. On a rotation. Maybe some of those maps don’t have any PvE, maybe some have more PvE, maybe some are better designed where a certain armor class outshines the others. I dunno. I am all for equality and people getting to play what they want. This current map favors ranged in certain applications, melee in another, PvE in another. It does come down to composition and cooperation.
Opr has been absolutely trash for many months now and it will continue to be trash for many months more. They don’t want to balance the game and they sure as hell don’t want to fix bugs that are many month old. See ya next year when they finally do something to the mode or create new content.
Mortal empowerment not touched for 4 months, you legitimately don’t care or you would have nerfed the perk that amplified every range weapons issue months ago, idk if you actually play the game but it’s a slap in the face if you wanna act like you guys are constantly watching because YOU AINT DOING SHIT TO MAKE IT BETTER. Thanks.

@Chardis while he put it across pretty aggresively, this guy is right.
AGS is months late to this issue and needs to start monitoring these forums in a more meaningful way.
Ideas on these forums are left to rot while things like fart noises and hippos get CM responses daily. Its a huge slap in the face to players actually trying to get information across to the devs when CMs are essentially ignoring legitimate threads but chiming in on the low hanging fruit.
Right now the state of the community is bad/demoralized due to feeling like devs dont care and are not in tune with the game.

People think it’s all muskets and bows… until they run into a match with a 5 stack premade of 3 bruisers, 1 void, and 1 lifestaff. These premades truck through everything, laugh at arrows & bullets, and they take whatever they want and win the games by 3 cap and spawn camping.
Be very careful if you are asking for a close quarter map where it’s just a meatgrinder. Pretty much muskets & bows are an issue if you’re solo queuing. They become nonexistent if you queue in as a premade with geared bruisers and support.
Moral of the story, find some friends, join an active guild, and play OPR as a group. You’ll have a much better time. Solo queuing and experiencing random disasters? That’s like every MMO ever.

Except people are ok with that if matchmaking puts the SECOND 5 stack on the opposing team or at least tries to even out the groups.
The issue with musket balance is it has no engagement with the aggressor before you die. Just hiding until you either escape or fall over.
That isnt fun.
Its not about winning. It is about having fun in opr and keeping the combat engaging.
