The Foundations Of Planetside 2's Victory Conditions Have Changed

Planetside 2's latest update has shaken things up a bit. Previously, a faction could earn victory on a continent through capturing all of its territories within the time frame of Win Alerts, in turn locking it down temporarily. This update changes that, implementing a new system of Victory Points, which are now required to lock down a continent.

Victory Points are earned in one of several ways. Linking your warpgate to an enemy warpgate, capturing all biolabs, etc, will each earn you one Victory Point. Win Alerts will award two Victory Points. A Victory Point will be awarded each 5% of the continent you capture after 45%.

In addition to changes to victory conditions, many balancing changes were made. You can see the full notes here.
