A look at the work in progress Yavin PvP map.

With the data from 4.0 we can see a lot of work being done on a Yavin pvp map. The area itself doesn't appear to be included so we can't show you the map itself.

Please keep in mind this map is very much a WIP and will probably change significantly before live. This is my own interpretation of the data and it may actually be vastly different. It could also be scrapped and never make it to live.

Summary

Is most likely 8v8.

Probably won't be released in 4.0, but a lot of work has been done on it so possibly 4.1 but don't hold your breath.

Has a VIP, the VIP gets special abilities on a temporary quickbar.

Has a game mode chooser that allows someone to choose Bounty or VIP mode. Possibly a CTF mode to but this might just be VIP mode.

Has 5 objectives to capture

Capturing control points is a six second cast.

Picking up Artifacts is a six second channel. Makes you the VIP?

Both teams have their own artifact pick up points.

Capture point ownership is lost when the VIP uses the extraction point.

Capture points can be unlocked, but unsure as to how.

Not much on Bounty mode. 1 point for accomplishing the bounty.

VIP

The goal of the VIP is to get to an extraction point when your team controls at least two capture points

You can volunteer to be the VIP at random.

VIP moves at a reduced speed, has more health, cannot be stunned or knocked back and take reduced healing.

When defeated the VIP kneels down for 15 seconds and can not do anything, closest player gets the artifact they are carrying. Probably becomes the new VIP too?

Using the extraction point is an eight second cast.

VIP Abilities

These abilities are available to the VIP, regardless of class. All damage is god damage, so can not be mitigated (like Huttball fire traps)

VIP - Barrier Channeled: 8s

Cooldown: 90s

Projects a Barrier around you, granting immunity to all control, damage, and negative effects while channeled. This ability does not respect the global cooldown and can be used while controlled. While you are protected by Barrier charges will build up and grant Enduring Bastion, a shield that absorbs an amount of damage based off the charges that are present when Force Barrier ended. Enduring Bastion also grants immunity to interrupts.

VIP - Heat Laser Channeled: 3s

Cooldown: 20s

Channels a cone of heat that deals 8% of target's health as damage within a 35-meter cone in front of you over 3 seconds.

VIP - Advanced Targeting Field Instant

Cooldown: 35s Range: 15m

Emits an Advanced Targeting Field that increases the damage of up to 7 allies within 10 meters for 15 seconds.

VIP - Nuke 'em from Orbit Instant

Cooldown: 40s Range: 35m

It's the only way to be sure. Calls in support from orbiting warships, dealing 8% of the target's health as damage over 12 seconds to up to 8 enemies within 10 meters of the targeted area.

VIP - Big Blast Instant

Cooldown: 5s Range: 15m

Deals 10% of target's max health as damage. Uses a really neato scatter gun. BA BLAM!

VIP - Massive Explosion Instant

Cooldown: 25s

Blasts 8 nearby enemies for <<1>> damage and knocks them away. Targets hit by this have their movement slowed by 50% for 5 seconds.

This looks like it could be 35% of the targets health? VIP - Rapid Bracer Missle Instant
