Friday Feature Focuses on Upcoming PvP Changes
Game Update 9 may have just went live yesterday, but the Star Wars Galaxies team is already looking ahead to update 10. Today's Friday Feature focuses on the improvements and battlefields the patch will bring to the game's PvP experience.
There will be at least three new battlefields implemented with the launch of update 10. You'll be able to queue for one battlefield at a time simply by typing /battlefield, although you can switch which one you wait for at any time. You'll be able to see the queue lengths and join as an individual or group. Groups get priority over individuals.
Every battlefield is unique in geography and goals and will have a set length of no longer than 15 minutes. They will also include bases and bunkers you can use as defense, and each team will have one cloning center available. "The battlefields are restricted for up to two teams of sixteen players each and a team must be formed of only Rebel or Imperial members. Mixed factions on teams are not allowed."
