I think everyone here has complained about the slideshow that is war so that’s not what I’m focusing on in this post. Instead, I’d like to offer an alternative.
I think it would be interesting to add small towns to the zones that can be claimed and defended/attacked that also don’t need to be in the same faction as the “city” faction owner. Town skirmishes or battles could be similar (or different idc) but only 20 v 20 like OPR. Lag isn’t as bad in OPR so hopefully with the smaller numbers, town wars would be in a lot of ways, more fun than war and more meaningful than just OPRs. A lot of people want to participate in meaningful fights but it’s nearly impossible with the wars as bad as they are right now. But, there isn’t really any options for that at the moment
Also, it opens up the door for smaller companies with good tactics and fighters to hold their own against big companies. They’d still have to earn it, but it would add another end game PVP mechanic that means something.
Open to other suggestions as well, just thinking out loud.
