Level 81 and Honor PvP

[Cinco]

Greetings, Legends!

Development on the upcoming Level 81 Campaign continues behind the scenes with all manner of excitement and anticipation! So far, all of the new content is looking great, and we're excited to bring you more details as things start to wrap-up ;-)

One important detail that we want to share right now relates to 'Honor PvP.' We felt, especially since we're at the end of the Last Legend Standing event and about a week away from the Honor CTF event, that this would be a good time to let you know:

- When the new Campaign is published, Honor PvP will require Level 81.
- Access to the Honor Gear and Content will migrate to the new Level 81 city.
- Since players will take time to get to Level 81, Honor matches will inevitably endure a brief pause in the action.

Why is this happening? Key reasons are:

- We want to keep Honor matches balanced, and the character power differences between levels 77 - 81 would be too vast to throw everyone into the same match (without destroying the balance).
- We want to keep Honor players together, and segregating matches based on character level would make it significantly harder to find a match (as we would either create a 1 or 2 level separator like Standard PvP... and that differential would disrupt the balance).
- While we may opt to create game-wide Honor at some point in the future where all levels can compete (with same level opponents) using Honor gear that spans all 81 levels we want the new Campaign to release pretty soon - and this particular feature would tack on months.

Feel free to hit this thread with your comments and concerns.

Best wishes!!
