• Game Update 1.3 Preview: New PvP Additions

    Game Update 1.3 brings some improvements to PvP, aswell as new items, schematics and vanity pets.

    New PvP Mission (Free Recruit Gear)

    With the Game Update 1.3, as soon as you get to level 50, you will have a new PvP mission called New Technology available at the Mission Terminal on the Imperial and Republic Fleets located in the Combat Training Quarter. The mission is not repeatable, it can only be done one time.



    After you accept the mission, simply turn it in, at the same terminal and you will have to chose between the following rewards:

    - Recruit Gear Box
    - Recruit Credit Redemption Token

    The Recruit Gear Box option depends on the class your character is. For example if you are a Juggernaut you can choose between Recruit War Leader's Gear box and Recruit Vindicator's Gear box.


    These boxes contain the FULL set of Recruit Gear, and that means you have all items for example: weapon, ofhand, relics, ears, implants, etc.


    The Recruit Credit Redemption Token can be sold at the vendor and you will receive 320,000 credits (the total cost of the Recruit set) so you can choose what items you want to buy or just keep the credits.




    New Pets

    2 new vanity pets have been added to the PvP item vendors on Fleets.

    Lobelisk - Requires Valor Rank 70 - Costs 1000 Ranked Warzone Commendations and 2000 Warzone Commendations.


    New PVP Adrenal Schematic

    Warzone Adrenals can now be crafted by Biochemists. The recipe can be bought with 75 Warzone Commendations from the PvP Items Vendor on the Fleet located in the Combat Training Quarter.


    The recipe requires only grade 6 crafting materials, including a special PVP material called Dioxatrene-11.


    DioXatrene-11 can be acquired as a reward from Grade 6 Crafting PVP Boxes:


    New War Hero Implant (for healer Operatives and Scoundrels)



    Ranked Warzones

    Bioware quote Posted by: From Game Update 1.3 PTS Patch Notes
    Pre-Season One Team Ranked Warzones:
    Pre-Season One Team Ranked Warzones are now available! Teams of 8 level 50 players can use the "Queue Team Ranked" button in the Warzone queue window to queue for a Ranked Warzone match.

    Ranked Warzones reward Ranked Warzone Commendations.

    Teams receive their Team Rating after participating in 10 Ranked Warzone matches. This rating is adjusted at the end of every Team Ranked Warzone match based on win or loss and the ratings of all other matched players.

    Leaving a Ranked Warzone before it ends counts as a loss. Declining an invitation once a match is made counts as a loss.

    Players in the queue for a Ranked Warzone can queue for a normal Warzone at the same time. Entering a normal Warzone does not remove players from the Ranked Warzone queue. If a Ranked Warzone match is found while a player is in a normal Warzone, the match is reserved until the player finishes the normal Warzone, and other players in the reserved match will not be asked to join normal Warzones.

      This is upsetting because there are going to be a lot of people that take the money and not get the gear and still q for WZ and bring the team down.

      Well, maybe some will, but at least they won't be able to say that Recruit gear is too expensive

      This is a good way to ease people into PvP, but I'll probably just take the money to buy some legacy stuff. I have full Battlemaster at the moment.

      they should just offer token that you can buy whatever piece you want. not do the bag. Hopefully they change this.

      Does this mean I will get a refund on my Recruit gear I bought? That is not RE and sells for 0-1 credits?

      Yes you are getting a refund of 320,000 credits when you get the bag. What's the problem?

      the problem is the fresh 50 takes the credits and doesn't buy the pvp gear and then runs WZ dragging the rest of the team down. I don't care to get the credits back it was worth the credits buying the pvp gear. Its why I'm against auto LFG system. People put in zero effort and expect to be carried to get their gear. I'm glad that I don't get a debuff for dropping WZ, I shouldn't be penalize because people expect other to carry them.

      Players that go PvE geared in WZs will face ridiculous TTK. If they still find PvPing enjoyable in these conditions, there's little BioWare can do to convince them to gear up with Recruit.

      Not really any different from now where people don't bother to get them anyway. It would have been nice if they ONLY gave people the choice of gear though.

      Did you read the whole article? Firstly, if you have recruit gear already, thankfully you will receive a refund. Second, you chose a team of 8 members for ranked PvP. If none geared 50s want to get pounded, that is their problem. As long as you play in your pre-made team of 8 well rounded players you are well off. According to all of the level 50 armor advice I read, once one reaches 50, he or she should get recruit gear whether one does PvP or not, until one receives better gear.

      What article are you talking about? What in this thread there is nothing limiting a fresh 50 from taking the token selling it for 320k credits and banking it. Which is the issue, its a free 320k Credits for hitting 50.

      Recruit gear also acts as pve gear for fresh 50's until they get tionese aand columi.

      honestly, if you have the pvp gear now take the money, I will be taking the money as I don't do pvp, I currently use the recruit gear to gear my companions at lvl 50, it works great and its all the gear they need.
