Morgond Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Can we please even out the warzone matches? It has only been a couple days and the new map is already getting a little old. It is reminiscent of launch when we played huttball way to much because there weren't enough republic players. The other warzones are really fun (including the other huttball map) so please let us play them all evenly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow-Canadian Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Mission accomplished Bioware, we've seen the new huttball map a lot. Tone it done now please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sangrar Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 its only temporary, they stated that its going to be rigged to pop more for the first week or two (can't remember if it is one or two) since its new so people get a chance to play it, but afterwards its going back to normal, except this map and the original huttball map will each have half as much of a chance of popping than any other map so thatway the chance of getting huttball in general is the same as getting any warzone.

Fellow-Canadian Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I remember them saying they would increase the chance for it to pop. Right now they increased it by too much in my opinion because after doing 3-4 huttballs in a row I pine for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sappharan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Mission accomplished Bioware, we've seen the new huttball map a lot. Tone it done now please. If I never saw another hb map again it would be too soon. Since I am going to see them again, please tone it down. I have given serious thought to halting pvp until this is resolved.

I have given serious thought to halting pvp until this is resolved. Does nobody ever pay attention to dev tracker? The dev seriously did state that for the first week the new map would be significantly more likely to pop, afterwards it will be much less likely. Also maps are apparently weighted by match type, so that the chance of getting either huttball will be no more likely than the chance of getting huttball pre 2.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quesh huttball is popping much more than anything else is. Everyone has their own opinions on which warzones are fun, I am just asking that they get evened back out sooner rather than later so we aren't force fed a certain warzone.

Zakmonster Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Man, I haven't been getting enough Huttball. Of the 10 matches I played last night, 5 of them were Voidstar, and only 1 was Huttball. I hate Voidstar. Honestly, for this first 1 or 2 weeks, I'd rather get more time on the Quesh HB, so that I can familiarize myself with the map and figure out all the nasty tricks I can pull on people, same way I do OG Huttball.

MotorCityMan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) We needed another Huttball warzone like a fish needs a bicycle. Bioware just doesn't get it. The idea is to make a warzone so that the outcome is in doubt until the last possible second, not predetermined by class makeup before it starts like huttball.

chillshock Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'd accept longer queue times to be able to disable certain warzones like I can with flashpoints. (And yes, I'd even be ok, with them not counting for daily/weekly, because I pvp for fun, not quests ). Also, if I were only allowed to disable ONE - I'd be hard pressed between the two-exploding-pinnicale-warzone and the puking-pipes-huttball.

Smuglebunny Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 They need to make a few minor changes to that new huttball. I LOVE huttball ok, but that new map is...Well. 1. Far too bright, too many flashing lights, the force fields dont need to have frogdog and rotworm symbols. 2. The upper 2 lvls of the arena are TOO SMALL and not far enough apart like the goals in regular huttball. I realized you were going for a vertical map but its too vertical. 3. I personally dont like the positioning of the powerups. And that the middle is closed off on the second lvl floor. 4. You should not be able to leap from lowest to highest lvl, you can. But with some tweaks it could be ok. But I do like huttball so thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-darko Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I must admit, I post most of my Rants straight in the Ear of customer service, haven't done that this time. It helps tho. reading this thread, I'm about to agree with the OP on this one! Even tho I'm a frequent speaker for a huttball league I just now realized the following; IF we get one it would probably be with this new Arena. It isn't a warzone, not even a huttball game. To hard? not really, but, as we all know the awareness in a ordinary WZ is very uncertain, this one map display all that we don't need at the moment; Something that confuse and alienate.

teclado Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 After getting it three times in a row...I confess, I have started leaving this one at the start from now on. If I'm playing my vanguard, it's a little frustrating when a bunch of hostile snipers, sorcs, mercs sit on the upper pipe right next to my respawn. I can't pull them (can't use that ability within re-spawn area) and the re-spawn area is large enough that I can get shredded before I can get down. If I do manage to jump down --> fall damage. Basically, it's a ranged class camping dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkiestj Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 take your queue pops earlyif you see quesh, leave queuewait 30 seconds, requeue. It would be nice if BW would add some regs match scheduling code that would NOT put you back in a WZ that you had just left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVall Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 3 days of queueing and haven't even got it once. I want to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMaranathax Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Pretty much. lol Civil War is complete trash at this point. Oh come on now. Alderaan and Novare are the best two and you know it. True PvP is more than just deathmatching, and the King of the Hill/Domination based matches are very fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadescythe Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 We needed another Huttball warzone like a fish needs a bicycle. Bioware just doesn't get it. The idea is to make a warzone so that the outcome is in doubt until the last possible second, not predetermined by class makeup before it starts like huttball. Random warzones are random. Every single one of them can be determined by class makeup. No healers is an auto-lose unless the other team sucks. At this point, there is one class that doesn't have a strong roll in Huttball. PT/VG - Fire pulls, snare/root immunity Sin/Shadow/Op/Scoundrel - endzone stealth Jugg/Guardian/Mara/Sent - leaps Sniper/Slinger - Defense or mid control with leap/pull immunity Sorc/Sage - Friendly pull. Merc/Mando - Probably the worst off, but snare/root immunity helps with moving the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
