An Explorer Note from the Devs

An Explorer Note from the Devs

This weekend we're launching a PvX test server in our Closed Beta client. We need our beta testers' help to put the finishing touches on this new PvX game mode. Below is an outline of all the parameters for PvX. Please note that these are all subject to change based on feedback and what we observe during the PvX Closed Beta Weekend. Please help us try to break this server so we can make the experience better for all of our players. Try out all the griefing methods, try to become the Alpha Tribe, and most importantly - have some good old fashioned fun!

As a token of our appreciation for helping us out this weekend, when PvX launches in the worldwide release you will get to keep your Survivor, levels, and unlocked engrams* (all inventory and tames will be wiped).

The Closed Beta PvX server will be copied to one of those initial launch servers, so you will need to be a Primal Pass holder to continue playing on the same Survivor. A wider release of PvX servers will soon follow.
