  1. Yes, I only advertise in the matches I record. That way people who played the match and who want to see the instant replay can watch it on Youtube. I also call out excellent players, friend or foe, in the video titles sometimes.
  2. I think a better split is (1) unranked arena que; and (2) a que for all other unranked PvP map types. I enjoy all the maps except arenas and there is a certain "type" that only likes to duel. Let them play how they want -- in arenas!
  3. Yes, thank you very much. I was aware of that. I'm just afraid that the fixes will mean the maps are going to be gone for a long time. I also hope they don't diminish the appearance of Huttball in the rotation. And, lastly, my fear is that the devs would make such choices based on complaints from people who never play the objective in any PVP, not just Huttball. And for the record, my favorites! OG Huttball, then Quesh Huttball and then Vandin Huttball!!!
  4. Huttball is the only reason I play SWTOR. Ever since Patch 6.1.2d I have not gotten a single Huttball match. It's back to the old days of playing all night and not getting a single HB match which is why I quite the game previously. I probably have the largest dedicated Huttball gameplay video collection on the Internet -- https://www.youtube.com/user/sodanio/videos -- so the removal of the Huttball maps is a big loss for me. People who don't like objective-based play have convinced the devs to remove two Huttball matches. That's a shame because people who don't like the objective based nature of Huttball ALSO do not like to play the objective in ANY OTHER match. Don't be fooled. The people dueling in the pit in Huttball with no idea where the ball is are the same ones zerging from node to node then leaving the node abandoned in search of more kills. For players who enjoy team-based, objective-based play, this zerg meta completely destroys the fun. I also dislike the que allocations -- Capture Point, Huttball, Ancient Hypergates, or Voidstar. First, I am not getting Huttball 25% of the time. It's a lot less than that. Second, while I love Voidstar, it's a map that can be quite grueling if the stronger team goes first. Third, Odesen Proving Grounds is a great map and is seriously rare now. People complaining that it requires too much coordination are, you guessed it, the people who only want to duel other players. It's time to give piddly duelists their own unranked arena que, separate from all other matches, so they can take their toxicity and tunnel-vision to their own acrid sandbox. I loath arenas but can no longer quit them at the start to escape the match and let someone else play due to the deserter buff. Favorite maps in order: --Huttball (OG, then the others) --Odessen Proving Grounds --Capture maps --Voidstar --Arenas (don't even belong in this list, really)
  5. Does the Stealth Protection personal scan area provided by the Hunter Killer set bonus proc the speed bonus for allied players from the Adaptable Assailant Utility as if they were in the Stealth Scan area of effect?
  6. It’s a big hit on our mobility! Fix this bug!

  8. Huttball is the best PVP map of any video game in the history of all video games. It is certainly the most fun and the most thrilling PVP map in SWTOR. We don’t need less Huttball. We need more. The vents need to be fixed. Desync needs to be fixed but that’s not limited to Huttball and it happens to both sides so it balances out. Just count to three and the ball carrier will reappear. It needs to be fixed but it happens equally to both sides in a match.
  9. I’m curious if pulling or knocking back enemies into Huttball traps counts as a kill for purposes of the set bonus.
  10. Yeah, I don’t want to play PVE to get gear for PVP. I have so little play time that I’m not going to waste it on boring pursuits. I’m here to play Huttball and PVP regs. Happy others like FPs but I know what I like for me. If BioWare is intentionally soft peddling rewards for PVP, that’s one thing. An argument could be made that given frequency of PVP pops they can’t shower you with rewards. But I’m not sure that’s intentionally the decision. Could be a bug. And even if intentional, they could throw us a bone on weeklies. Not sure what you mean about my being lazy. I know how what you can buy on the vendors. My beef is getting 298 to 304 gear and item parts from PVP loot boxes when I’m already 306.
  11. So you think the lower-than-306 drops from PVP boxes is ok because it avoids tourism from PVE players looking to grind? I don’t like the idea of grinding FPs for gear. I only PVP except for the main story and I only do that on one toon. Right now I am grinding PVP dailies and weeklies so I can optimize my gear on my main. Even running all three tank specs but only itemizing on one of them it’s taking forever. At some point, I’d like to play my healers and DPS but I don’t have set bonuses or even complete sets for my three tanks.
  12. I’m having the same issue: PVP loot boxes are giving me 298 to 304 gear even though I’m already at 306. Completed two dailies on two different toons and did not get a single BiS 306 mod or enhancement. Real bummer for a player who only PVPs and contrary to the “play how you want” promise.
  13. Does the bonus missile also proc the heal utility? Or is that capped?
  14. I agree with all of this! Here’s my take: The Pit (OG Huttball) — All time favorite. REALLY lends itself to Force Pull and Grapple Fire Pit kills which means turnovers and game changing moments in seconds. Friendly pulls shine here. Quesh — Second favorite map. I LOVE the verticality! I agree about the trap positioning in Quesh. The lower traps are shrouded by the ramp and in a corner. Force pulls and Grapple sometimes have the ball carrier hitting the roof of the level above, preventing pulls into the trap. Pulling the enemy up to their upper trap is good but you should never pull people up to your trap in your end zone since they might escape and score. So that limits utility of half the upper traps. Worst still, you can’t use pulls/Grapple from within your own end zone due to an invisible buffer zone in front of the goal line. This means you can’t pull people into either of your end zone traps unless you leave to the other side and pull from there. Still fun, but not as engaging due to the awkward placement. Vandin — I’m still learning this map. I don’t like the central wall in the middle of each enemy field. But it turns out there are non-linear routs you can take: to up the middle ramp to the first fire pit, cross the fire pit, then wait for the lightning stun traps on the level below to go dormant, then jump down to the lower ramp, rather than crossing two separate traps to get to the end zone when you turn left or right after the middle fire trap.
  15. I fixed that for you. I love Huttball because it’s objective-based. Arenas and the death match game mode as the objective is not interesting to me. I prefer team-based cooperation. I rotate between the three tank specs in reg PVP. Duels for the sake of duels just don’t register with me as a fun engagement when my fun is in keeping allies alive, harassing enemy healers and, most of all, working the objective. Huttball is ALL objective play. Some of my best matches are spent all in movement and so my numbers can be really, really low — but that’s a win!
