I could see an argument for premades in huttball having to go. They really do make that particular warzone a lot less fun given the way the objectives work and the fact that certain classes shine.

The WZ itself is fine though- provided I'm not up against a solid premade, it's usually the one with the most memorable plays and most interesting battles.

Even when I do run up against a decked out premade, or walk into a 3-0 match, I find it enjoyable to make their face-rolling as difficult as possible. This usually involves sticking to their healer like glue, then watching my team manage to kill their ball carriers if they can figure out how to not allow people to jump all the way to the goal line.

Huttball is just plain trash, they need to give it a major overhaul so its not so op sorcerer, assassin, operative. Since in every match of huttball exspecially those are the only classes that seem to be played.

Anyone that says sorcerer and assassin are not op play them as there main. I play a juggernaut and its literally almost impossible to kill any assassin or sorcerer due to the fact they get invis in battle which stops the fight, push back effect, stuns, as well as increased running spead all of which allows anyone to stop the fight at anytime and run. Or range attack non stop while pushing anyone away that gets close. Add all that together and a team compromised of mostly sorcerer's, assassin's, and powertech's is almost impossible to beat or even survive.

Since it seems almost 90% of the players on the imperial ide only play as those three classes pvp is just an utter and complete failure.

All 3 warzones suck total bull spit.

But to be fair, out of the 3 i'd say huttball is the best (except over powered classes ruining it though. Looking at you sorcs/sages and force jumpers)

Huttball should be the first to score 2. Nobody ever comes back from 2-0 down unless they've been farming first.

It's the warzone where working as a team instead of just as 8 skilled players is most important.




That's not to say different characters don't have different roles. There's not 16 balls in Huttball, we can't all be the ball carrier.
Team up 8 sages againts 8 marauders.
No BIRD is made out of metal, unless it's a machine.

Wow, i'm surprised by the turn out for this.

If you could, try to be constructive. I gave many reasons. Try to counter those rather than saying "i like it". I understand you like it, but why.

I am a scoundrel if you must know, but i also play alts and play with friends/family so i have a pretty broad view. That being said, please leave alts out of the conversation. The game is balanced for lvl 50.

I know how to play, but like all the other people have said, it's kind of pointless after a while.

I can stealth to their base, never get a pass, and be useless the entire game waiting for a pass that's never going to happen. Also, when people run by, all they need is an aoe that's semi close before i'm F'd.

I can get on their healer, and get knocked back instantly. Then I have to wait for the vent to hit me in the correct direction.

I can get on their carrier. This is usually my best bet since i can still slow, do dmg, and aoe cc a bit (cybertech grenades). Even then, same thing as with healers, i get knocked back.

You cannot ignore the facts that I originally presented; other people have even echoed them.

Many of you talk about utility (speed, grip, shield..etc..). However, they are not evenly spread across the clsses.

Maybe you guys think it's fun b/c you're one of the OP classes, which is fine. Usually you strive for balance, and that's the last thing I think when I think of huttball.

Hell, when I play my wife's 20's sage, i have a lot more fun (but as stated above alts aren't endgame).

Even if the game is not completely removed, it needs to be revamped. The name "froceball" fits all too well.

Another bad complaining about x and y class being OP. Nobody in this game is OP. The classes are pretty well balanced. Just because you can not beat x and y class does not make them OP.

You people that constantly whine about OP classes need to go back to the other MMO where you may have had a case.
