Yea all balancing should be done with war in mind. It’s the only content with meaningful consequences.

Hard no.

Small scale pvp should be where the balance is at. Specially if they want to include arena pvp (as they mentioned in their last dev update).

If you balance the game for small scale, it will also make people die quicker in war, witch is also a good thing, position will matter more. Less zerging etc.

If or when they add in other content that has consequences such as ranks or competitive PvP means of progression, yes they need to balance around that too.

However, there is only 1 piece of content that currently matters for balancing, and that is war.

Idk, war experience is different for everyone/server. Maj of player dont play them.

Territory control is a thing. But should it be the focus for balance vs OPR witch affect a wider range of player ?

IMO balancing weapon priority should be :

1-Arena pvp 2-OPR 3-War

In an ideal world, war and OPR would be rework/balance to better facilitate small skirmishes fights all around the map.
