BioWare Lead End-Game and PvP Designer Gabe Ametangelo has posted a developer blog discussing the changes coming to PvP in Star Wars: The Old Republic's upcoming 1.2 update.
Among other topics, Gabe discusses the mechanics of the Ranked Warzones system, Warzone rewards, the AFK kick system and gives an introduction to the Novare Coast Warzone.
We believe competitive measure is an important part of a complete PvP experience. As such we are excited to be introducing the first phase of that to Star Wars™: The Old Republic™’s PvP gameplay in Game Update 1.2: Legacy, with Pre-Season of Ranked Warzones. We want to emphasize this is Pre-Season while the community and development teams collect data and refine the system in preparation for Season One, which will begin with the inclusion of cross-server Warzone queuing. The Pre-Season ratings will be reset when Season One officially begins.
We’d love to hear your feedback on the changes and hopefully we’ll see many of you on the Public Test Server. Don’t forget, the details given here may change slightly before Game Update 1.2 reaches the live servers, as we react to feedback from testing!
