Ah ok. Tnx. That I did not know. Well then, I hope they get their crap straight! Ilum COULD be great. Now, its just a NASCAR race. -
Mythic Team
in PvP
I know that the Mythic team has been in but I had the impression that they were taking over Open World PvP. Ill go check the info again.
I will still hold on to my hopes for some good open world PvP.
Edit: Removed rest since I don't want to start a Rant Thread.

Mythic Team

It's been stated that they will be taking over Ilum. (Unless I misunderstood something) I have yet to see RvR that matched the fun factor of DaoC RvR. If they turned Ilum in to something like that, I would be very happy.
Holding areas could provide a faction a bonus. It could get tricky with the Faction imbalance but 16 good players should be able to disrupt with some guerrilla tactics or hold off a large group when defending a fortress. Maybe I am just being overly nostalgic.

Seriously, why on earth would they do that? A few people totally wasting valuable playtime to sabotage a game, the premade would've won anyway, and get farmed for medals, which are now even more worthless than before - zero value above 4 to be exact.
My guess is, that it was a genuine match and the alleged exploiters just plain failed - like you with your conclusion.^^
Wait, what? We are having the valor rollback right now, didn't you notice...?
I can see where you might come to this assumption as I may have, if I saw this too. However, when they were finally reported, they did this 3 times in a row. That was what created the huge uproar in General Chat.
And you are correct, they would have won anyway, that is why it was so annoying EACH time. They did that then farmed their own Faction Mates. Granted, now with the medal cap, there is little reason to do so but that was not in place when this thread started.
Lastly, your discussion points are valid but you present them rather immaturely with your finisher. I do not expect people will go back and read each post in here since it has become rather lengthy but much of what you suggested was talked about and explained already. Just food for thought.

Why on earth are you people in this game? Just leave if its so bad! Good lord. I don't mind some "hey you should work on this or that" but it baffles me that you guys pay to play then come on here like you detest the game.
Just stop paying if you want your voice to be heard.

I get that many people are frustrated. I certainly am at guilds like the one mentioned. However, ranting on about "never" and other absolutes just forces people to ignore your input.
Fact is, there was a player in that very guild that was reported for moving from the acid pool to the goal line like they were in a fast sprint. (Ran threw both active fires) I have not seen that person in almost 2 weeks. I use to see them all the time. So, people DO get banned.
Also, to the "Stealth Planting the bombs"; I have seen that on our server also. I thought they just had perfect timing but I made sure to watch next time and they never showed up. Just the bomb. Just keep reporting them. It is silly to think that BW would not ban someone for hacks to save a sub. If they didn't, word would get out and the game would lose WAY more subs than the .05% that hack. It makes no business sense.
-
How did this guild manage to get their own people on the other side? Can you now queue for specific instances, or was this chance?
As far as exploiting the setup of having guildies throw the game, yeah, that's beyond lame.
I've faced guildies in HB, and no one gave an inch. :-)
I think you misread something or someone mistyped. They are creating a Premade then having their same faction Guild Mates Queue up solo at the same time. Imps play Huttball 80-90% of the time. Since there are no server clusters, it is pretty likely they get put together.
Where as most other guilds would make it a friendly competition, they use the person on the other team to run the ball to their own goal line and throw the call to the opposite team. They then proceed to farm their own Faction Mates for Badges for the rest of the time.
This will get even worse when VoidStar opens up for same faction matches.
-
Any and all games will have exploitable items. So, as I do see some bone head moves by BW, SW is still a great game. And yes, Guilds and players should not take advantage of something just because they can.
As for the guild and server, I am pretty sure you can figure it out. I would prefer not to name them outright since that will get this locked. And its not like the guild doesn't know everyone knows they are doing it. It was in several large discussions in General Chat. They simply don't care.
-
As was I. But it's really the same faction vs faction that is creating the issue. And since it is generally the same 16-32 people playing at the same time, its not hard to exploit this. The only real fix I see is come down hard on the exploiters and Cluster the servers to make chances almost impossible. If they don't punish the exploiters, why would the "dishonest" not give the exploits a shot when presented?
Even if they had our server VS another. This way we still group with our own guys but no chance of fighting our own Server Faction. To be honest, ShadowHand has some pretty great people on both Factions. Unfortunately, we have some ... well not great people too.
-
Allowing people to create toons on different factions on the same server was stupid. What did they think would happen. It is not like there were not 400 other servers to choose from.
100% agree! This was a very confusing move on their part. It was begging for trouble. BW did many things right with SW. They did however miss the mark on some fundamental nonos and common sense utilities.
-
As long as I dont need to play that game great. Huttball sucks.
Agrred! However, last I read, they will add another game, make it so VoidStar can be Same Faction VS but it will continue to be random games.
As long as we get Server Clusters, it will be be less of an issue. But I still hope they get a slap on the hand. I have noticed one of their players that moved questionable fast is no longer around... interesting!
I bet it's the RLD people. It is, isn't it?Now WHY ON EARTH would you say that!?
-
lol True enough. I guess we can shun both sides them.
-
BW put the systems in place that allowed this to happen, while they might not allow it their ignorance caused it. Implementing features that can be abused will be abused.
While I do not disagree with this, it still is pathetic that a guild would resort to this. It is an obvious exploit and they are taking advantage of it at a guild level.
-
I will have to give kudos to BW. On the ShadowHand server we have a Imp guild that runs Pre-mades and do rather well. However, they decided to have a couple of their guys join the opposite side and throw the game. (Ran the wrong way and threw to a guy at the goal line) They then proceeded to Farm badges since the opposite team was already short and people were quitting. This was not a one time deal. They continued to do this over and over.
A Guild mate reported this along with other players and it seems BW will be taking action against that guild. With so many frustrations in PVP Warzones already, it is pretty pathetic that a Guild would do this (And to their own faction which is worse!). I actually thought that BW was going to say, "Sorry, to bad" but it seems they will be looking in to it and have said "it will not be tolerated". To what level, who knows but it still nice to see something being done about it.
As I won't name the guild I will say that if that guild sees this, I hope you get what you deserve.

BS answer, I am not in the mood for red herrings.
No he is right. People expect to toe to toe with every class the same way or in their game. As BM, I dont try to melee a Maud and I don't try to range a Sniper. Nor do I get upset when one of them beats me in their own game and yell "foul". A good Sniper can play a real solid part.
I hate to bark the "Learn your Class" motto, but I think you need to start looking outside the box a bit.
-
Know you role too.
-
Yeah, that is what I was thinking. Too bad. Even with more points in it, it does not seem like it would be worth the sacrafice. And unless you give up too much in Pyro, you cant really do much with it. Too bad.
-
Has anyone tried a spec with Incendiary Missiles and Retractable Blade? Not sure if the last two points would be best in Rail Loaders or Automated Defense.
It would be interesting to have the two heavy DoTs on someone and with Burnout, once they hit 30%, it should kick up a bit. I am just not sure of the loss of TD is worth it.
Thoughts or Input?
-
That I will agree with. If someone quits as soon as they see its Huttball, I cannot blame them. Its the people who quit half way through a game because they cant stand losing.
-
"it's my $15 a month, I can do what I want." Is a valid statement. I pay good money to have fun in this game. If something isn't fun to me, I won't do it and see it as a waste of my time and money. Call it what you like, but until you pay my fees, you don't dictate my gameplay. Its as simple as that.
As I said, that is OK but don't come back then. You have a right to enjoy your play but it does not give you the right to ruin other people's time. Why is your time worth more than theirs?
You save yourself, what 8 minutes? If I was queued up for 10, and then come in to a lost game, another 5-10, I now lost 20 minutes to your 8.
I understand that people tend to only think of themselves but why not give it a shot and just TRY to think of others... just a little bit.
-
Why are people trying to coin names to already popular builds? Forum Goers really think that they will own a build because they chose some silly name?
ALL of these builds have been used HUNDREDS of times by good players in game. Coming up with some random and totally disconnected name does not give you credit.
You want to make a name for yourself? Go out there and prove you are a good player and deserve our praise. You will get nothing by googling some random info and making slight adjustments to current builds.

actually I did, I wrote a post about why he shouldnt compare cooldowns between jugg and pt as a basis for analysis and linked it into my sig so it would be very easy to find
and my frustration comes from seeing different people say the same things over and over. that's why I put it in my sig.
people come to a forum for discussion and knowledge, but then just want to have their question answered immediately without reading anything
Fair enough.

I think what a lot of the quitters are forgetting is they are not only affecting them and their team but the people who will be dragged in to a lost game after waiting (sometimes extensively) in queue. Why do they deserve that? So YOU don't have to be inconvenienced?
I understand the frustration of getting on a bad team and just wanting to get out. But in your short shortsightedness, all the people who get pulled in to fill your spot get screwed. Not only do we have to sit through a lost game but we have to re-queue and hope you don't leave your next one again.
The constant "I pay to play how I want" cry is a childish one that ranks there with holding your breath until you get your way. Immature but, you do pay (or at least your parents do) to play however if you leave, fine. But don't come back to do it over and over again. Hence why the upcoming penalty is perfect. Sure you can still leave but go do something else for a time while people who are good sports and understand that you can't win every game can have fun winning OR losing.

I combine it with my Relics and get pretty over the top Crit bonus. Enough time to kill most... beside a Sage/Sorcerer.
Also, for those who use a Macro Keyboard.. NOT THAT I DO... you can pop them both with one key and ready up for some crazy crits.
Sorcerers... do they really need ALL these abilities?

^^ This. I do not play a Sorc/Sage but they are VERY OP in Huttball. However, I do not think that should reflect on them as a whole. When in other areas, they are good healers and decent DPSers but their utilities are not overly impressive. Great support class outside of Huttball.
I think Huttball needs to be fixed, not the class. IMO.
