Introducing Battlefields to Star Wars Galaxies!
There are four new PvP regions added to the game. Each is a battlefield complete with its own objectives. To play on one of the battlefields you simply need to use the /battlefield slash command.
This will bring up a user interface allowing you to view battlefield status or to queue up for one.
Players can queue up as a group; the group leader does this, or can queue individually. Groups are chosen at a higher priority than singles. Singles will be used to fill empty places in the battlefield teams.
Once a battlefield has enough members ready to participate, a gunship will arrive to take you to the battle!
Players have to be members of the Rebel or Imperial army, to join swg powerleveling a battlefield. Each faction (team) can have up to 16 players, with a minimum of 4, on the battlefield at a time.
Participating in a Battlefield will award the player Battlefield tokens. You get 5 for winning, 3 for a tie, and 2 for losing. You can then spend these tokens at your factions vendor:
Imperials: Speak to Staff Sergeant Rothax in Talus' Imperial Outpost
Rebels: Speak to Staff Sergeant Levardio in Rori's Rebel Military Outpost
These Staff Sergeants will sell you all new weapons and armor.
Buffs that are normally removed during death, now simply lose 10% of their total duration from their remaining duration if the death was PvP related.
Covert opposite faction players that are dueling will now correctly death blow incapacitated players.
Attacking an incapacitated player in a guild war will now deliver a death blow.
