[2022] PvP Revamp with Game Update 7.2

Here’s all you need to know about the Arena and Warzones PvP changes that are coming to Game Update 7.2 “Showdown on Ruhnuk.”

The goals for the PvP Revamp

Our goal is to create a positive and engaging PvP experience for all players by increasing the overall participation and quality of PvP matches and offering new incentives that benefit everyone who participates in PvP.

What are the changes?

No distinction between Ranked and Unranked play

Previously, players would queue for Warzones and Arenas in Unranked and Ranked matches. With 7.2, these queues will now be consolidated. Players will be able to queue solo or as a group for 4v4 or 8v8 matches. Additionally, with 7.2, the 8v8 queue will also allow full 8-player premade groups to queue up.

No restrictions for non-subscribers

All players, regardless of account type, can participate in PvP. During previous seasons, non-subscribers were restricted on the amount of matches they could play. With 7.2, free-to-play accounts will be able to participate in PvP; however, they will earn PvP points at a slower pace than Subscribers.

New PvP Points system

Players will now earn PvP points by playing and completing PvP content. These points will be based on three criteria:

• Types of match
• Win/loss
• Amount of medals earned during the match. Medals have been updated to accurately reflect the state of damage numbers in 7.0. Players will need to earn 8 medals in a match to get full rewards.
• Note that points are only earned through participation in Arenas and Warzones, this does not include Galactic Star Fighter.

Below are the details on how many points players can get from participating in Warzones:

Warzone

	Warzone Win	Warzone Loss
8 or more medals	24	8
7 medals	21	7
6 medals	18	6
5 medals	15	5
4 medals	12	4
3 medals	9	3
2 medals	6	2
1 medals	3	1
0 medals	0	0

In addition to the above, players can earn bonus points with the Warzone “queued as group” bonus. This bonus will grant 2 PvP Points, assuming players meet the minimum medal threshold of 6.

Arena

	Arena Win	Arena Loss
8 or more medals	12	4
7 medals	10	3
6 medals	9	3
5 medals	8	3
4 medals	6	2
3 medals	4	2
2 medals	3	1
1 medals	2	1
0 medals	0	0

Similar to the Warzone bonus, players can get an Arena “queued as group” bonus of 1 PvP Point, assuming they meet the minimum medal threshold of 6.

Finally, players will be able to earn PvP points by completing PvP Season Objectives. Each week, players will have 4 PvP Season Objectives (Subscribers will have 6 PvP Season Objectives) that award 100 PvP Points each when completed. Players will only be able to complete 4 of these objectives per week, regardless of their account type.

New PvP Rewards track

A new PvP rewards track will be added to the same window where players can find the Galactic Seasons track.

On this tab, players will be able to track the PvP Season Objectives and their progression through the current PvP Season. Players will be able to see their level, the number of PvP points earned for the week, including the overall total of points accumulated.

Each PvP season, players will be able to advance through 25 levels that grant rewards such as Armor Sets, Seasonal Trophies decorations (small and large), titles, and more. The team is targeting to have several PvP Seasons per calendar year, with each season running for 12 weeks.

(Seasonal Trophies decorations (large and small). Colors can be changed to white, blue, or red.)

(From left to right: Cartel Prospect's and Combatant's Armor Sets.)

Similar to Galactic Seasons, players will have the opportunity to catch up on rewards from Week 7 of the PvP Season. Credits can only be used to catch up to level 15.

Ranked PvP Tokens

Players who still own Ranked PvP Tokens earned during the previous seasons will need to spend these tokens before 7.2 as they will be removed when the update goes live. The tokens will not be converted into any other form of currency.

The items that could be purchased by these Ranked PvP Tokens will be available on the seasonal PvP vendor, however, the rate that players will be earning the new PvP currency will only allow them to purchase either new items or one to two replicas. If a player who was not previously engaged in Ranked PvP focused all of their efforts into obtaining these replicas and none of the new items, it would take several years to obtain every single one.

PvP Vendors

You can find the PvP Vendors, Giradda the Hutt and Tullek, on the Fleet of each faction. Players will be able to purchase items with PvP Season Tokens received from the new PvP Season Reward Track.

Current Season rewards will be available on the PvP Seasonal vendor Tullek’s inventory during the entire season. When the season ends, these rewards will be moved to Giradda’s inventory.

The PvP Rewards Vendor, Giradda the Hutt, will offer replicas, trophy decorations, titles, and art decoration of Arenas and Warzones on a rotating basis.

Giradda’s inventory rotation will work similarly to the Galactic Seasons vendor Jaleit Nall’s inventory rotation. We will have 4 rotation groups: A, B, C, and D. Each Rotation Group will be active for 1 week and then cycle out for 3 weeks. These weekly rotations will occur during our weekly reset at 12:00 AM GMT.
