Hutt Ball Suggestion: Ball drop/reset.

Anyway to allow those classes without a friendly pull to use the MGG5 gun to pull their group members?

I'm seriously tired of these damn whiny little "oh I suck" posts..

You want a nerf to classes in huttball, then I want any multi target abilty have no effect either on Voidstar. How about lets say no classes that have a letter of the alphabet in their name be able to control a turret in Voidstar? Or maybe you just quit the warzone when you see its Huttball and **** already.

A rescue is so EASILY countered! What do you think that Sage or Inquisitor is doing running ahead of the ball carrier? Waiting for a pass so they can get blown up in 2.5 seconds?

If ever a type of post warranted a L2PvP response, these are the likes of them.

I find hutball can be very frustrating at times. I've seen an entire team attacking the ball carrier and not being able to stop him. I've seen a team score in under 30 seconds. I've jumped out of the spawn only to be charged right from the ramp to give them a score. Really? Leaving the spawn helps the other team?

If I could make changes, I'd make these:
1. Get rid of the resolve system. We need real deminishing returns.
2. Sand bags effectively block all pushes, pulls, charges. If you are in the open, fine, but being on the ramps defending should never be looked at as a benefit to the other team. That means put some defensive positions at the goal line as well where you can't be charged.
3. No rescue for ball carrier. If you want to move the ball to another player, you throw it.

Make sure to add leap too otherwise no.

Does this also mean that if you "pull" an enemy player then the ball drops or if you jump to/charge an enemy player with the ball the ball drops.


If so then yes. If not then no. Does this post many any sense, potato.

A well thought out response...your post has certainly lifted the standard of this debate.

As someone who plays an operative and assassin I would totally support this change. My ability to throw a pug game or win a pre-made vs pre-made game is directly related to which class I'm on. My assassin is a king of huttball. Force Speed, Knockback, Offensive pull, stealth. My operative can kill people and...kill people.

The amount of "teamwork" and "skill" either side can display is based on their composition in huttball, far more than any other map. It's not balanced property for all classes, and nerfing/changing classes based on one WZ map is stupid. Instead the WZ map should be updated.

Putting a buff/debuff on the ball carrier making them move at a fixed speed and being immune to all controlling effects is a great balancer. Charge should make you drop the ball, just like stealth does. You should be treated as in "cover" for the purpose of pulls and knockbacks.

Even though I don't agree with original poster's suggestion, there has been some excellent well-presented discussion on this thread. It feels like the beginnings of a real PvP community for SWTOR.

Although it may look like we agree on this issue, I'm not impressed with the way that you treat other posters. It makes it difficult to take your posts, or you as a poster, seriously.

It is not a debate, it is simply -X class is better then me in this particular zone so nerf em- post.

I must be on the one server in the entire game that knows how to counter a sorc/sage pull.

Take a look and read this entire post. You have people comparing Stealth to pull/leap.. come on now.. really? Ok, fine, how about you can now stealth with the ball.. and while we are at it, planting a bomb or taking a turret doesn't break stealth either. That is only fair in the minds of some.

How about this.. Beginners tip: Player wearing a dress that has a single lightsaber running ahead is going there to PULL THE BALL CARRIER! Stop them!

L2PvP. Priority target is not always the one holding the ball.


I don't care what you think of my posts or how I write them, the point is that the ability can and often is countered.
All people want to do is make the ability basically worthless in a zone. You really think that Rescue has any other use then moving the ball?
If I pull a player back towards my goal line, I just simply moved the player further away from the overall objective and can not advance to protect the ball carrier. If I pull a player that is getting attacked behind the ball carrier, guess what? I am hurting my team cause now those enemy players that were tied up in killing someone behind the carrier can now refocus and go after the carrier. So, this suggestion does nothing more then nerf the con/sorc.

While I like this, it would make it mandatory to have and unless they added a debuff to a for being grabbed it will just be grab-to-win
