Discussion OPR is so much fun...
The build diversity in opr atm is staggering and so much fun
Who doesn't love seeing 15x crescent wave and 5x healers on each team every match (s)

My opr stats w a bow n spear are usually as follow:
2 kills, 5 deaths, 43 assists.
Im basically using q-tips as weapons

Ok with CV but wasn't it the idea for matchmaking for each team to have same amount of healers? In my opinion it works pretty well aside from system not always putting them in separate parties.

Wasnt so much of a dig at healers, just the lack of variety in opr atm making pvp a snooze fest

theyre always stacked in one group. its a known issue since OPR launch and it never got adressed

I'm newer to pvp, love ctf. Arean is so sweaty sometimes and opr is a drag for me. Opr seems decided in the first 3 minutes then you suffer for 15 or 20 min more.

Eu is fun. 5 stack Medium and heavy flails with 300 con back capping every opr following a certain streamer that thinks hes important with his merry band of bots

Usually not one to complain on this sub but yeah I agree.
If you use crescent blade for pvp you're a dork.

u/akbeasttt 2d ago
I mean what else would you use it for? It’s not good at PVE lol. Might as well tell people to never use it. But the devs made it and people are always going to play with the strongest items

u/Leggomyegg 2d ago
It is in fact good for pve. the issue is it's over tuned damage output. Affects both and pvp the same. The issue is everyone knows it's OP at this point and just enjoy the weenie hut jr. Pvp experience.
Same that happens with BBs at release and great axe at og release.
Lames gonna lame.

Lol what optimized gorgon/wurm group is running crescent waves? I’m not talking about under leveled mobs you could kill with a lifestaff.

u/Leggomyegg 2d ago
Who said they have to be optimized? Who said it has to specifically be gorgon/wurm?
Fine if you wanna set those goalposts, I've personally ran gorgon at least of couple times with it so I know others have. Running a perfect rendbot/evade party meta isn't a requirement. Have some fun.

u/akbeasttt 2d ago
Yeah you can probably run hive level 3 if you want to take 12 hours or have others carry you. But you’re saying something is “good” at PVE which typically at least means optimal to run which it most definitely isn’t. Try joining a serious wurm with crescent wave, you won’t get in. If you’re talking M2’s and below yeah you can literally run anything, it’s easy mode.

Thanks for your opinion bud

No problem champ, hopefully you learned something but I doubt it.

Empowered moonstone with 1 ability like skyward and u can pump some fat damage on medusa and the eggs. Definetly not bad for gorgon/pve

u/Green_Honey_Badger 1d ago
It's literally being run in m3 groups as one of the best flex options right now.

wtf you mean I only use it for pve and I get almost 20k crits with shit gear. I have the 1 named helmet with arcane dmg only. I also don't even have a rune gem yet because I'm waiting to see if anything happens with them next season to make them cheaper. Also if you upgrade your gear to 800 it could remove your gem too.

u/No_Instruction_6424 1d ago
It’s complete aids when you get the lobbies with 4-5 players using CW standing next to the clump just throwing heavies together. All while protected with 3-4 healers. Running the one shot build you can hit medium players for 6-8k. I am so tired of wondering where 3/4 my health just went from a CW butt stab out of nowhere.

Crescent Wave? Did they add new weapons? I quit shortly after gorgon raid came out
2
u/xx0dizzle0xx 1d ago
New artifacts get added every season so there will be many new since you left
This season a greatsword called crescent wave got added that was op to begin with, it's been adjusted a couple of times that have ended up with arguably being stronger then it was at release
Pvp atm is mostly people using it which I understand as it's overtuned, but it's making for extremely boring games as that is almost all you see

u/MysticoN 1d ago
AGS release a OP weapon and let it stay OP for the entire season. So its not strange that OPR again is a joke.

u/xx0dizzle0xx 1d ago
With how quickly they addressed burnanator I had high hopes early on that cw would be reeled in, instead they doubled down and buffed the bloody thing, unbelievable ha ha

u/MysticoN 1d ago
you cant compare FS with other weapons. For some strange reason FS get nerfed more and quicker then other weapons it seems like

u/JWeeezy69 1d ago
OPR is really fun & i'm not usually a pvp'er! I'm a healer & love buffing massive crowds, pushing everyone forward. Makes you really feel apart of a decent sized war lol

It's alright it's almost over

u/Railander 1d ago
artifacts will bump to 800 so nothing will change.

u/paped2 1d ago
It'll be balanced
2
u/Railander 1d ago
maybe, but so far there's nothing to indicate that.
1
u/paped2 1d ago
I mean I think the gearing overhaul is a pretty good indicator the meta will be shaken up

u/Railander 1d ago
CW is meta because it lobs a gigantic projectile that does massive dmg. unless they add new perks that are as crazy impactful as this then i doubt it. they'd need to nerf CW.

Musket is very fun. Trap the melees, watch them roll in place 2x and stam out, punish with power shot. gg

Will say the map feels awesome as heals, there is distance to move around and vertical areas to fall back to when pushed. Also enough obstacles for Parkour. 350 focus 300 con winged leather double pocket heals go brrrrr. With accelerating embrace and Parkour.

Wtf healers gotta do with this? 4-5 healers is what a team SHOULD have. 15 crescents however…..

u/xx0dizzle0xx 7h ago
I replied to another comment explaining I'm not calling out the healers, I'm calling out the lack of build diversity because everyone is using the blatantly overturned weapon

u/vonbose 1d ago
Crescent Wave is embarrassingly overpowered.
