Refuse Huttball

I cannot stand Huttball. And I hate to break it to the masses, but I am good at it. On my Sin I am constantly positioning myself in mid to grab the ball the instant someone scores. As I am doing this, I am scanning the ramps and catwalks for someone to pass it to the instant I get it. If someone else has the ball on our team, I either Guard them and assist, or guard them and try to stealth ahead to be in position to recieve a pass.

I score.

Often.

And I cannot stand it.

We shall see what becomes of this issue in 1.2

If you think WoW is dead...then SWTOR is nothing but dust and ashes, lol. WoW's PvP is better than SWTOR's in EVERY WAY except for Huttball.

Strand of the Ancients > Voidstar
Arathi Basin / Gilneas > Alderaan Civil War

Plus you can queue for specific battlegrounds in WoW instead of posting threads complaining about SWTOR's one unique aspect.

Seems like you should be playing WoW.

For all of Voidstar's shortcomings, there's no way in hell it's even anywhere near the same level of bad as the complete ridiculous farce that is Strand of the Ancients.
I'm not arrogant. I'm just aware of my greatness.

the problem with huttball is that its just too class biased. moreso than any other wz.

I know how to play Huttball. I don't like Huttball. I can't wait for 1.2 when I can toggle off Huttball and never play it again. Has nothing to do with not knowing how to play it, I just find it to be a weak game from a PvP perspective.

For those that want to keep pressing the lever to get their sugar treat, fine by me, but I'll be glad not to have to play it anymore.
lol, you will NOT be able to avoid Huttball queues in 1.2. The ability to specifically queue for warzones is still a ways down the line, according to one of BioWare's dev posts.

So yeah, prepare to be disappointed. You will see more Voidstar/Novare Coast games, and less Civil War.

That's called playing the game. You're not good, you're just doing what you're supposed to. Nothing to "break to the masses" lol.

Saying huttball is entirely depended on yOur team is SO wrong. Huttball is actually the only wz where you alone (or with a friend) can change the tides of battle. Alderaan and voidstar is 100% depended on your team knowing how to attack or defend... you cannot defend 2 doors at once or attack 2 nodes alone - it is simply impossible. You need to rely on your team to do their part. Huttball however 1-2 players can score and win the match with the rest of your team being cannonfodder... done it SO many times.

I play a vanguard/powertech and with a healer we win matches on the row.

More wz like huttball please!!!
