On my server, during my entire time PvPing (currently valor56), we've had - count it - THREE Huttball matches where it was RepvRep, only two of which lasted the full match due to actually having enough players. We also play Alderaan/Voidstar about 50% more than Huttball. Which is good, because I hate Huttball. Edited January 6, 2012 by GuyWithFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortx Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 that's what happens when Empire outnumbers republic 3:1. Don't worry, BioWare is adding more same faction warzones, so this game will be Star Wars: The Old Empire pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinoplat Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 When the Empire has a 3:1 ratio over the Republic, they get to play 3 games in Alderaan or on the Voidstar while we get 2 games of Huttball and a slim chance at 1 of the other two. They gave us a way to play warzones as Empire players (because of server population balance) instead of having huge wait times as we queue to play against Republic players. 300 Imperial players queue up for a wz100 Republic players queue up for a wz 100 Republic players get in a good wz100 Imperial players get in a good wz (which ironically could be Hutball against the Republic)200 Imperial players play Huttball Now when all of those games finish and the queues start back up your chances are still only 25% that you will get into a good wz game. There are some very long dry spells for Imperial players of getting a good wz playing against Republics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicid Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Devs obviously favor Empire. I even heard a podcast on IGN where the lead writer says empire was his favorite. http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1215153p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgewall Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 If I were a Dev and favored Empire, the last thing I would do is fill it with Darth Murderfaces with red eyes, spiky black-and-red armor, and make every other ability shoot purple lightning--because that's the surest way to attract a million screaming 14yos, and guess who I don't want to be playing Huttball (or anything) with? Huttball is the Empire's Curse. Try rolling a real faction and enjoy slaughtering Sorcerers all day, because that's 50% of the Empire faction in PvP.

Leiloni Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Reroll Republic and help even out the servers. I almost never get Huttball. I'd say maybe 20% of my games are Huttball at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modecrypt Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 On the bright side... when repubs finally do get a huttball they usually get roflstomped because they don't play it 20 times a day like empire does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play Republic and win the vast majority of my Huttball games, six capping for victory about half of the time. I used to think that the Republic would be bad at Huttball since they never get to play it, but on my server at least, it seems like the Imps never learn or are so demotivated from playing Huttball six games in a row that they've given up. I still don't like it, though. Fast victories in Huttball give almost no commendations or valor, since there's no time to get medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemeses Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) For playing the better faction one must suffer huttball. For playing the kiddy faction you mean! We would not have this issue had BW/EA not been so tight and had much higher server caps. Edited January 6, 2012 by Nemeses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickSaveTV Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think the answer to this would be to implement strong World PvP. According to recent developers comments, they do plan to expand on World PvP which will remove big need in Warzones, such as Huttball. Another thing they have been working on is selection of Warzones you would like to join. Do you like Voidstar? Go ahead and select only Voidstar. Let's just wait and see how it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my server when I see some pansy brown robed folks running down the ramp I know we've locked in a win. I don't think I've ever lost a huttball match to republic forces. I guess that's just on my server though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mSum Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 No cross server PvP is part of the problem. But I guess if the empire players still outnumber 3:1 then we'd still see a lot of empire vs empire hutball. I think my server is more like 100:1 or something, I've never played anything but hutball! 20+ rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingsofcover Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I would much rather play huttball than deal with turrets and tots. At least in void there's not too much room for people to stray from the objectives they're supposed to protect or take.

TaintedSquirrel Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 its not biowares fault all you little teens wanna be the bad guy. I get derpball 1 out of 9 games kinda look forward to it since i never play it much. IT IS Bioware's fault that Empire mirror classes are superior to Republic. My Sorc has instant cast lightning while my Sage has travelling projectiles. My Commando has 0.5 second delay on all channeled abilities while my Merc has instant cast. I would love to play Commando but the Merc's mechanics are far superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibdy Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Be thankful you get plenty of experience with it. When you throw Republic, who rarely play it, against Empire, who play it very often, in Huttball, our pugs haven't got the faintest *********** clue how to pass the ball.
