This area will be a blood bath. Still could be a lot of fun!

Thank god, I was hoping they would make a place or two with all out pvp...they should make more places that are like this, if players choose to go there, its upto them, but i am in favor of a few dangerous places to go to:P

Zenjinx

Looks like it is going to be alot of fun.

Sounds awesome even the vendors can be killed, no one is safe not even the NPC's lol.

DarkPony

FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

Really, really nice addition this.

Swtor is shaping up in the world pvp department; a FFA pvp area, open world pvp on a load of planets on pvp servers, Illum, mercenary commendations, etc.

Damn glad that they don't simply focus on making a pve game with added instanced pvp on top but also keep the world-pvp fans in mind.

Funny how I get flamed for bringing this up in previous posts. It astounds me the cynicism of so many posters and the inability to distinguish fact from opinion.

Outlaw's Den Is...

 

• 
  An Open-World PvP Zone
• 
  A place with no rules
• 
  A place to kill other players, including your own faction
• 
  A place to farm some of the best gatherable materials for crafting
• 
  A place to earn Mercenary Commendations
• 
  A place to buy rare mounts
• 
  A place to stealth and kill as many players as you can before getting caught
• 
  A place to hang out with your Guild, trade, auction items (GTN)
• 
  A place to duel your friends (and enemies)
• 
  A place to PvP, at any time

 

 

 

Outlaw's Den Is Not...

 

• 
  A place to progress in PvP Rank
• 
  A place for carebears
• 
  An instanced PvP zone
• 
  A WarZone.  You do not queue up for Outlaw's Den
• 
  A Republic versus Empire specific fight
• 
  A zone that you can "capture" by use of objectives.

 

 

 

Facts

 

• 
  Guilds vs Guilds, Parties vs Parties, it’s an open world arena that’s much, much larger. I’d say it’s about the size of a medium town in WoW.
• 
  It has special, rare spawning vendors, chests and crafting resources.
• 
  This area is not for NPCs, stories, or anything driven or organized by BioWare’s hand. It’s player-driven, community-focused, conquerable.
• 
  Possibility of a leaderboard implemented in the near future after launch; meaning you’ll be able to look at a billboard and see the most dominant guilds of the area or something along those lines.
• 
  For those of you worrying about accidentally wandering into this area, there is a warning upon entering that you’re going into a “lawless” zone, along with signs saying so all through the path in.
• 
  The area has a bank, an auction house (Global Trade Network or “GTN”), and all of your essential needs so camping out there as a guild won’t be quite as boring when there isn’t any action. There’s also a small arena area for localized fights.
• 
  Some of the rarespawn vendors can be killed by a secret method (we were shown by Gabe clicking on a bottle inside one of their tents, and the vendor proceeded to torch Gabe). There’s talk of the vendor possibly dropping some of his for-sale loot, but this isn’t final nor for sure.
• 
  Most of the things the rare vendors sell are cosmetic, such as mounts, but it’s all completely unique to that vendor and can’t be purchased anywhere else.

I would bet this gets duplicated over several higher level worlds or else we simply will see level 50's camping this place all day long. Actually we will still see this no matter what as it has been proven in every single mmo with pvp ever made that high levels camp lower level zones due to higher population and ease.

The good news is that hopefully your own side will at least offer grouping on occasion to allow npc access.

There's world pvp "with very few safe zones" on all worlds accessible by both factions (on pvp servers, that is), just not FFA.

Let them camp away, I say ^_^

Cool that there's a spot for people who like uncontrolled gankage tbh.

This is the first time that the grahics remind me of WoW

Supersoups

Hmm not really fan of 'can kill members of your own faction' but i guess have to adjust accordingly.

Precusor

Thats great news.

Is this on every server or only the PvP server ?

Every server.

The zone is optional, you don't need to go there for your quests etc.

kitarad

Cool thanks.
