Another big announcement from the BioWare Sunday panel at PAX was Open World PvP on the ice planet Ilum featuring a war torn battlefield where players take down turrets to invade the enemy base.

Here is a rundown:

  • Open world pvp: Ilum first. Objectives, bases to capture.
  • Players can take over turrets
  • Side that gets control will get Valor and other things.
