Player Versus Player
We've reworked Player versus Player (PvP) and changed how rewards are earned, how Honor is calculated, match length, and more.
Victory Points
The Honor rewards will be changing to Victory Road rewards. All rewards will now be earned through accumulating Victory Points, instead of Honor.
- Victory Points are earned upon completion of a PvP match, regardless of victory or defeat. Wins and win streaks will reward additional points. Victory Points will never be taken away due to a loss.
- Victory Points will reset every season and can be earned again. Rewards may change each season.
Honor
Honor will continue to be tracked as it has been and will be used to place players into their Honor ranks.
- At the end of each season, there will be a rank placement and associated rank rewards.
- We've added new ranks including Top 1 and Top 100.
- These new rankings will not be able to be tracked in game. We're hoping to include this in a future update. Ranks beyond 100 can still be tracked in game with the Honor rank system.
- Honor rating has been simplified and is no longer calculated per Leader. All Leaders can contribute to Honor rating.
- There is no longer matchmaking based on which Leader is chosen.
Match Length
We've shortened PvP match times from 3 minutes and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Overtime will still be 1 minute.
