Choocha Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Not your descision Period. Be happy you even get Huttball, after the debacle last week on my server atleast there's usually only 1 or 2 Voidstar/Aldaraan matches going. I couldn't imagine what the queues would be like for emps if they could same faction hutt-ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineschmidt Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 So they should perpetuate the imbalance by catering to Imperials rather than making them a bit ticked off? Perpetuating the imbalance just continues to piss off the Republic players and makes them quit. When there's none left to play against how angry are the Imperials going to get? How would it affect Reps? If all wzs are both factions everyone enters a pool of players when queuing, i don't see how that would tick off reps?

We have 2 major mmos on the market right now and 1 more on the horizon so i'm sure BW is eager to keep ppl playing.

Traugar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Yea i'm sure BW would love to loose paying customers by failing to fix something like this Maybe if you took 2 seconds to think about this rationally you would understand this is something BW needs to fix, not the players It's not something BW can fix. The only way to fix it is for players to roll on the other faction. That's not something BW can make people do. If they were to offer incentives to roll on the under represented side then you would have the over populated side crying foul so really it is up to the players.

Because when imperials play huttball against each other this happens 8 imps vs 8 imps = 16 imps get commendations 8 reps vs 8 imps = 8 imps get commendations. Why is this hard to understand?

Traugar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Same faction wzs, free faction change. Did you just ignore those posts? Didn't ignore them. I just assumed it was obvious on why those aren't really options. Other games have proven that if you offer free faction change then the under represented side simply changes to the overpopulated side which makes the problem worse. If you only offer it from over pop to under pop then it tends to not get used which doesn't change the problem. As for same faction wzs, that works for some but not all. This is a faction game. You can't have every wz, or even the majority of the wz same faction or there is no reason for there to be factions in the game. The list keeps going on why these solutions don't work. This is an issue that every 2 faction game has faced, and none have come to a perfect solution. BW did better than most with the addition of huttball as a same faction wz. I know people get tired of huttball, but it is better than the alternative of doing nothing sitting in queue. The only way to avoid this is to have more than 2 factions, but that is a design decision that was made 5 or so years ago.

tamgros Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) I'm going to try to say this in a constructive way. Every source I'd seen prelaunch had the empire PvP pop vastly outnumbering the republic. I don't think it's unreasonable for some people to let you know that you have some responsibility for rolling on the overpopulated side... not that they should be huge ***** about it. Because you made that choice you should have known that one of two things was going to happen: - Long queues - Playing against the same faction in the WZ Currently there is only one WZ that supports same faction... next one comes out in marchish. But, they might allow you to queue only for certain warzones sooner than that (ie, uncheck huttball), but obviously this could result in really long queue times. Again, this is something that you chose. Side note: Based only on my limited observation, 80% of people who don't like huttball don't really understand the basic tactics of the game.

Repefe Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Side note: Based totally on my observation, i think that 80% of people who don't like huttball don't really understand the basic tactics of the game. Yep ... it's actually the wz with most strategy potential out of the three. The distance from center to the end is just a tiny bit too short for my taste. Anyway ... Lol @ppl like OP. I rolled overpopulated side ... gosh what now, it's not my fault !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupra Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) You shouldnt be able to pvp without the republic. Period. Not even in huttball. Strange cause the devs thought otherwise! This is not turning back after one month in the game,is unprofessional and wont cause the desired results!except if to equal the population you intend make the empire unsub Edit:huttball rocks over the prehistoric alderan mechanic and the voidstar-whoever gets locked more time behind the door loose Edited January 21, 2012 by tsupra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almghty_gir Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ok, thx That's insanely stupid, why not just make all wzs same faction, that or free faction change. No way i'm rerolling because they messed up who messed up? it's the players choice which side they roll. BioWare didn't hold a gun to your head and say "roll imperials or else!"
