Jumping the gap in Void Star, a bug?

or powertechs, or juggernaughts, or marauders or their mirrors...

yeah.

The speed buff wouldn't be there if it wasn't intended. That was put in place by the developers.

Now if you are arguing that attackers being able to jump back across the gap is unintended then you might have a case.

To the other poster arguing against this because all classes can't do it: this is like arguing that Knights/Warriors being able to jump between levels of huttball is an exploit because other classes can't do it. This is simply false.

so in your opinion, jumping gaps with the ball in huttball is an "exploit"?

Seriously, changing the code for the turret in Civil War so it doesn't shoot more when Imps have it is really that hard? BioWare has bigger problems than fixing an exploit in Voidstar. Especially when they still want defenders to be able to contest extending the bridges. They'll get to it when they get it. Until then? Its still an exploit.

So what gap is there in Huttball where there is only a speed boost on one side of it and not clearing the gap means you fall to your death? Besides falling through the map which "still" happens to me sometimes.

It's neither an exploit nor a bug. The tactic is even mentioned in the warzone sticky. Some tank builds can jump it too, but an enemy needs to be on the other side. People can also be grappled over the open gap or punted by knockbacks.

There are many different tactics this gap opens up. If bioware didn't want them used they would have put a forcefield up.

They're the same people who would swear up and down that pulling people into the Huttball spawn was intended and a perfectly reasonable "tactic."

Bioware will fix it, and these people will fall silent, again.

Has nothing to do with the speed buff.

All the devs have to do is extend the force field across the entire open face and this would stop.

Has nothing to do with some classes being able to do it or not either.

The bridges are there for a purpose and that purpose is that the attacking team has to activate a bridge prior to getting access to the next door. Period. Bypassing that mechanic in the WZ is not intended. If it is then a Dev can say as much in the forums.

Arguing that it is ok for attackers to jump the gap and not ok for defenders is also beyond opposite of smart.

Only if they die. If they and their healers *like me* are playing well then we're actually giving the attackers that door for no effort, and the forcefield in the room beyond. We won't be able to even catch up with their jumper until the very last door.

This is as much of an exploit as grappling/leaping is an exploit in Huttball.

It's a gap. Most ACs can utilize it. Some cannot.

That's like saying that knocking people off of the bridge is an exploit because not everyone can do this.
