Star Wars: The Old Republic PvP

 

With every MMO comes PvP, and Star Wars: The Old Republic is no different.
Star Wars: The Old Republic introduces instanced areas called ‘Warzones’, which become available to players once they have reached level 10 and offer structured, objective orientated player versus player combat.

Each of these warzones provides the winning and losing team with commendations which can be exchanged for Gear, Valor which increases you’re PvP rank, credits the main currency of the game and experience making Warzones a great way to aid in the levelling process.
At this time in star wars: the old republic, there are a total of 3 different warzones. Each of these warzones offers different environment, set of objectives and even back story.

Warzone: The Voidstar

The whole Voidstar Warzone is based around a derelict imperial cruiser that supposedly disappeared during the Great War. Within this ship lies a schematic to a powerful weapon.
You guessed it! In this Warzone one side attempts to fight their way into the ship and snatch the ship’s data core, while the other side tries to defend the ship and prevent the other team from reaching the data core.
The battle takes place throughout the whole ship, where players will have to set explosives to blow through three sets of blast doors while the defending team tries to disarm the bombs and slow the opposition down.

This warzone is played over two rounds with each side taking both the offensive and defensive sides. After the completion of each round, the teams switch sides so that the attackers become the defenders and vice versa. Eventually, the winning team is the team that reached the data core the fastest. Should the defending team win both rounds, the winner is then determined by whichever team came closest to completing the objective!

Warzone: Hutt ball

Hutt ball can be seen as SW:TOR own take on the age old classic ‘Capture the Flag’ scenario… only BETTER!

Within Hutt ball, as in Voidstar, two opposing teams meet inside the deadly confines of a pit/arena. The two teams battle for the control of a ball -which at the start of the game- appears in the centre of the arena.

The aim of the game is simple take the ball and score, the first to 6 points or whoever has the most after 10 minutes wins! However don’t expect an easy ride not only do you face the opposition team but you also have to watch out for multiple fire traps, acid pits and gravity traps.

Run and pass the ball from the centre of the pit up to the scoring line and claim a point for your team! But make sure you don’t forget to defend because losing the ball can put you on the defensive very fast especially against well organised opposition.

Warzone: Alderaan

The Alderaan Warzone consists of two teams of 8 players per team. Upon the beginning of the match, players start in drop ships that are located above the Warzone. You and your allies will be able to transport to the ground using speeder bikes! The goal of this Warzone is to destroy the opposing team’s drop ship.

Destroying the drop ships is done by controlling the planetary defences; these defences consist of one large central cannon and a few smaller laser cannons surrounding the bigger cannon. Once in control, you use these cannons to attack the other team’s drop ship. Blue and red indicators will show which team is in control of which turrets, The winning team is that who manages to destroy the other team’s drop ship first.
