Huttball is great fun. ll those who whine about getting steamrolled by level 50s should love it since a bunch of <lvl 20s that use tactics will almost always win against a bunch of lvl 50s that just focus on killing the enemy.

I queue for PvP quite often and I've noticed that I very often see the same people on the rep side so it's quite possible we're not that many queing.

I'd love the option of not queuing for Huttball. There's no skill involved - it's a pure zergfest with people CC'ing eachother and knocking eachother off the walkways. The vents are just throwing people around randomly too, it's acomplete mess.

Of course some people like the stupidity and randomness of it, but it's not pvp. It's just a joke.

Give me the option to queue up for the other 2 WZs only. I don't mind the extra waiting.

Stopped reading at no skill involved.

If you play properly, how it's meant to be played then there's lots of skill. Those who play it like a zergfest have no skill, those who play it like they should, working as a team to throw the ball around and reach the end zone despite being zerged and CC'd and knocked off the bridge on the way to the end zone have quite a bit of skill.

Also, on reflection the thread title needs changing if there are any mods on at the moment.... to something along the lines of;

'Please remove Huttball - Request of 10% of the players in this thread'

I love huttball

Cause im a ranged class

Seriously though people hate it because you cant just mindlessly hit damage buttons and come out on top, a team that does zero damage and just heals has a chance of winning

Also the warzone is just brutal and makes alot of people look so stupid, thats why people want to avoid it as much as possible because i See them get clowned on on a daily bases and its hilariuos (knocking 2 guys into fire pit, grappling into acid, destroying tunnel visioned nubs)

Huttball is great. I guess all the QQers are A. getting JAWA rolled because they dont know how to work as a team. B. over popped and cry about being over popped.

What's funny about this statement is that I rarely see people passing the ball across the field to each other, something that requires a bit of skill to do while getting beat on and a little common sense

My personal issue is there never seems to be anyone farther down field when I need to toss the ball

And Huttball is just like any other capture the flag warzone. Person A gets the flag, the rest protect them. Therein lies the skill... keeping the carrier alive

I know its your attempt to make a Unique version of CTF but this is why there is no other version it has been tried and tested over years.

Im in a PvP Guild and Hutball alone deters alot of players from Queing just because of how bad it is.

Also add some sort of rating Warzone about 90% of the ones I am forced to play huttball, cant even choose
Where is your source of your claim that 80% of the players want it removed?
Also this way of CTF is better then for example the WSG ctf which encouraged camping your own flag.

If you are in a self proclaimed pvp guild you can handle a pvp system like this.
If you cant then practice.

Now , go troll somewhere else.

75% of statistics are made up. 80% of the player base did not request huttball to be removed.

Of course there isn't! Getting bounced around like a pinball, and CC'd for 30 seconds at a time doesn't require any skill at all. The HB warzone is too small for the number of players, so everyone just zergs around. Ranged have a massive advantage in being able to hit people across half of the map while safe from melee on the top walkways.

It's a total mess and I never ever want to go back in there. If it pops now I just leave a book on the keyboard and go make a coffee until it's over. I generally end up about 1/2 way up the board, which shows you just how much of a joke it is.

No, you're right, what you are discussing does not take skill. That's not how you play Huttball.

But playing Huttball like it should be, and not like an idiot like you're describing, does.

Also, nobody can shoot from halfway across the map, or anywhere close to that distance.
