The 2nd update from Eric Musco regarding the new SWTOR 5.2 Iokath daily area is about PvP activities and opportunities. Will it be the same as Gree on Ilum or a fresh design and idea? Let’s see! You can follow all the recent SWTOR news in this Collective Mega Post. I am updating it with everything new and important.
► PvP On Iokath | 03.28.2017, 02:16 PM
With the launch of 5.2 “The War for Iokath” we wanted to be sure to encourage PvP wherever possible. It is a part of the design of the Missions on Iokath that players will be running into each other fairly often. This afforded us the opportunity to make PvP more of a focus beyond just a place for open world PvP to occur. Here are some of the things that set Iokath apart as it relates to PvP:
- In open world PvP, enemies and allies will be determined by the Faction you choose to fight for, not the faction your Class is a part of.
- Ex: If you are Trooper who chose to fight for the Republic, you will be flagged as an enemy against a Jedi Knight who is fighting for the Empire.
- Choosing which Faction to side with has no effect on your character outside of Iokath.
- You will be able to loot Iokath specific currency from other players that you kill. You will not actually be stealing that currency from them, but it will “drop” from them similar to how it works for NPCs.
- On Iokath you can spend that currency to do special things such as piloting a walker. You will be able to pilot the walker in the same area as other players and use said walker for murderous intent against enemy players.
As you can see there are some specific additions that we are making in 5.2 to really encourage open world PvP play. Let us know if you have any questions about these changes.
