Summary
These are subject to change and planned for 3.3
-------
PvP
- There are no new warzones scheduled for release anytime soon. They are in the planning/development stages, but have no timetable as of right now.
- There's going to be a significant cost reduction in both regular and ranked PvP gear:
- Exhumed gear will have its cost reduced by 33%.
- Dark Reaver gear will have its cost reduced by 81%.
- Ranked Warzone Commendations are being removed from the game and from the daily PvP mission rewards. All existing Ranked Warzone Commendations will be converted at a 1:1 ratio when Game Update 3.3 is released.
- Warzone comms transfer between characters is returning but this time using an "official" method - you can buy a Warzone Commendations Legacy Box to transfer 99 commendations between characters in your legacy.
- You will no longer be able to interrupt captures using AOE in warzones. This means Novare Coast consoles and Voidstar bomb planting/disarming can not be stopped using AOE damage. (Testing will be done first on the PTS
- Overall warzone experience and credit rewards will be significantly increased (~200%).
Ranked PvP
- A 2018 expertise rating will be required to queue for solo ranked warzones, but no expertise rating required for group ranked warzones.
- Ranked matches will reward new season-specific tokens, with more tokens given for better tiers. You can use the tokens to get the rewards you want, even the best rewards. Higher rating = more tokens per match, with the best rewards costing the most tokens.
- Tokens will be able to be used for 1 entire season after the season they were obtained in before being converted to warzone commendations.
- There will be 1 exclusive reward for each tier that can't be bought with tokens as well.
- The top 96 players for solo and group will get everything and a unique title just as before.
