[Have an idea for a Warzone? Share it with a Dev!]

Ok that's enough meta. How about An Actual Epic WarZone Idea:

 

You spawn into the Epic WarZone as a member of one of 3 factions: Jawa, Ortolan, or Ewok*. What follows is no holds barred objective-based combat. You play as a member of one of these races and have a stock generated NPC appearance. Much like in Huttball, you get a special ability to further the WZ objective, but here it's tied to your faction. Jawas can scavenge junk and resell droids on the gray market, Ewoks have mastery of armor-penetrating slings and hoopaks which totally devastate conventional military technology, and Ortolans play the xylophone. (I don't want to stereotype but according to a Hoth side quest Ortolans are also pretty good at maintaining machinery). Each faction has its own base and will attempt to overrun the others, or whatever else sounds good, you guys have all played more PVP than me. I can't wait to play this in 3.2!

 

Some notes:

1. 3 factions = win
   
2. Restrict everyone to faction abilities only and remove their PC skills. Separate PVP and PVE skill trees = win
   
3. Jawa vs Ortolan vs Ewok arenas? = EPIC WIN
   
4. PVPers need to smile more
   

 

 

* If you want to substitute some other tiny NPC race that's cool too. But no Urgnaghts.

 

** I can't claim full credit for this idea. It was originally suggested a couple of weeks after launch by someone on reddit whose name I've long forgotten. In the original version the warzone involved objective play between 3 distinct factions, hence the different races. But if it would take too much development effort to do a scenario with 3 factions, you could have 2 teams but assign people to each team as follows: 2x Jawa, 2x Ortolan, 4x Ewok. OMG look, no more griping about "their team has more healers!".

 

*** I like the idea of an objective where your base has a droid or turret you can repair or guard while other people try to destroy it. That's not my original idea either and it could probably be done without Jawas or Ortolans, but it would be nowhere near as epic.

 

I know it sounds crazy, but this idea has a lot of merit and could give a lot of the playerbase what they're looking for in a warzone.

- no gear advantage

- no bolster

- little to no cc

- just objectives and skill

Overall, i like this idea and would love to be able to roll in a WZ as a jawa for epic lols:)

At this point, what good is adding a new WZ, when the pvp population is dwindling daily. You pretty much killed your own game when you said "No" to the one thing that could keep it alive; cross server ques:mad:

[The Good the Bad and the Ugly]

Sucks that so many good players are leaving the game (I don't blame them though); wonder if there are going to be any left to teach the ones comming into their own currently:(
