If they left the Makeb arena out of the rotation I wouldn't miss it.

Alex, while you're making these changes back to normal wz rotation, would you please, please consider this:

- Separate the two Huttballs so they have their own chance of popping?

Or remove Queshball completely?

HAHA Pretty close to that.

No but I really like them both. No node guarding in Hutt Ball and in VS, if you are watching the other door, you are bound to be tested.

Non-Favorites are CW, NC, AHG, any arena in about that order. Although I will say I am pretty good at node guarding. After doing it with a gunslinger wayyy too much, if I am on my scrapper or operative it pretty much isn't going anywhere unless I just never get a response.

Ironic as it may seem, I'm not yet comfortable on my scouperatives in Hutt Ball as it excels at ball carrying which I haven't really had on my slinger/sniper. Every once in a while, but not one of the main carriers.

I hate Huttball and Voidstar both, but I do try my damnedest to win at them. I'm actually a bit good at Huttball. Doesn't mean I like it.

Wins > Losses, whatever I think of the map I'm playing. Need them comms, and Dailies/Weeklies go by a lot faster with wins ; )

Patently false. A lot of the reason (not all, but a lot) I hate Huttball is that other people in pugs don't know how to play. At least when they're just DMing in Hypergate they're still getting objective points. In Huttball, you have to know how to get the ball from the centre to the end zone, which requires more thought and teamwork than you can get out of most pugs.

I've seen people trudge on with the ball at 50% movement speed with three people smashing on them, refusing to pass or not knowing how to. I've seen groups of people just DMing at the centre the entire match, no ****s given about where the ball is even at. I've seen the damn ball carrier follow enemies back to our base trying to DM them.

Like I said, I'm not one of these people. I actually work to get the ball where it needs to go. I wouldn't say I'm in the minority, but more than enough people just play with no ****s given to make me really dislike the game.

Now, all that said, I probably wouldn't mind Huttball or Voidstar so much if they were smaller parts of a bigger rotation. I love the other warzones (Arena for pure DM, Hypergate, Novare, and ACW because I like Domination-style gameplay). I wouldn't mind another Dom mode, or maybe even Capture the Flag. I wouldn't mind a ***** wz popping one in eight or so rather than one in six (or one in four, in VS's current case...).

No worries. Any chance to make it permanent and bring 8vs8 rwz back? (keep Pit though)
Nice day playing all non fotm specs. Continuing with Sniper today.

Any chance that when you put Huttball back in q, you actually put back the old Huttball that I loved instead of this new game called Scouperativeball. You know when the winner didnt depend on who had (more) scrapper scoundrel/conceal op.

Until they make some new wz maps, we need huttball back. i hope it's really just a bug.
There is normal HB and trash HB (Quesh). Trash HB is the worst wz design. Just disallow passing from ground level to the top. Is it that difficult? Is it that difficult to understand that with Resolve changes Ops may roll to score as as Assins with stun immunity? Do devs even play quesh?

Any update on this? Been a few days now. Would really like to get some variety back in the rotation before the weekend hits. Please tell me a quick fix is incoming.
