Friday Update: Voidstar Video and Warzone Page!

For people who are PVP focused, here’s your Friday update!

First up, we have the Voidstar video, the third warzone for players to fight over.

The Voidstar is a derelict Imperial Battle Cruiser that disappeared during the Great War. The ship is believed to contain the schematics to a powerful weapon. Now that it’s been rediscovered floating in the depths of space, both the Empire and the Republic are racing to take control of the vessel and access the secrets stored in its memory banks.

 

Second up is the Warzones systems page! There’s a nice blurb on each possible warzone, with videos of each. There are short descriptions of each and how they function, as well.

Voidstar is an assault-style Warzone in which one side attempts to fight its way to access the ship’s data core, while the other side defends the ship and attempts to prevent the other side from reaching the data core. The battle takes places across multiple sections of the ship, through blast doors and across elevated bridge spans where taking a fall is almost always lethal. The attackers battle their way through each section, drawing ever closer to the ship’s data core, while the defenders seek to halt the attackers’ progress at various control points.

 

The match is broken up into multiple rounds. After the completion of each round, the teams switch sides between being the attackers and the defenders. The winner is determined by whichever side reaches the data core the fastest. In the case that the defenders win both rounds, the winner is determined by whichever side came closest to achieving the objective.

 

Enjoy!

  1. Sigh, that AOE knockback (0:51) is going to be such a pain in the arse in this and especially in Huttball. I can imagine a sith assassin stealthed on that walkway who all of a sudden pops up and blasts everyone off the edge, killing them all.

  2. Fairly disappointed in this Friday Update. We’ve seen this video already…/sigh

  3. Is it just me, or did I see a jedi wielding a yellow lightsaber there ;)

  4. Most boring friday update EVER?
