Fieryabyss Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Two huttballs in a row now my team has not been able to score a single point. This is not due to incompetence, every time we were about to score the ball a powertech was camping his spawn just outside the shield and grappled the ball carrier to him instantly killing him and giving his team the ball. This is a massive exploit, no one class should have that much power and control over their goal line. If you have any intention of keeping pvp fair this should be fixed immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroktar Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i remember someone said this was legal on PvP forum...someone replied his ticket saying it was legal. Im not saying i agree, but meh...it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amp_ Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Generally it's not a good idea to post anything you would consider an exploit on the forums. Private communication is always the better option because you might actually exacerbate the problem by making it more widely known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fieryabyss Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Good maybe if people think they can get away with this it will get fixed faster. i remember someone said this was legal on PvP forum...someone replied his ticket saying it was legal. Im not saying i agree, but meh...it sucks. How on earth would one person never leaving their spawn and insta killing anyone who tried to score be legal?

DarthBloodloss Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 They can only stay up there for like a minute before they are kicked from the WZ. Its a lame move I agree. Funny tho, in the voice over intro it says cheating is encouraged. "No kicking the ball" - "Cheating is encouraged!" - So I'm allowed to kick the ball?

Dont ruin our class cuz we have 1 skill to get a person back to us. Compared to other classes we have 1 stun, 1 jet charge and 1 grapple... while other classes have better and more reliable cc. use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've seen a Trooper yank my team's BC into the safe zone, and it did kill the BC, but we still got a point before he died - he still passed over the goal line while carrying the ball. It actually helped us. Why it didn't score for you I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krondorf Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It's not illegal to do that, and I'm doing it now, learnt it from this forum too. We get kicked out of the warzone if we hang on there for too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobings Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've seen a Trooper yank my team's BC into the safe zone, and it did kill the BC, but we still got a point before he died - he still passed over the goal line while carrying the ball. It actually helped us. Why it didn't score for you I don't know. Because the trigger for the score is only about jump height. If you pull them right before they walk over the line they get the point because they pass through the trigger, however if you pull them earlier they get too high and the score isn't registered. Also to the person below this poster, there is a way to be able to stay in the safe zone without getting kicked. I'm not going to post it but there's a way to do it. Also, a way to get around it (even though it is totally lame, though probably not an exploit but rather something they need to fix) is to pass the ball when he hooks you or is about to hook you. The hook has a 45 second CD. Also, you can counter his bug with another bug, which is if you pass the ball to him while he's in the safe zone it will kill him, and give the ball back to your team.

dardack Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It's not illegal to do that, and I'm doing it now, learnt it from this forum too. We get kicked out of the warzone if we hang on there for too long I think it's exploit, but if BW says it's legit I'm doing it. Can we get a link? And yea if you stand up there too long you get ported out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fieryabyss Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 That isn't game breaking, silly. A single person being able to control whether the opposing team is able to score isn't game breaking? Who is your dealer sir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMTOM Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Apparently you've never played Huttball. i agree with the above quote...because 90% of the time, when someone is close to the goal line, their resolve bar is MAXED from the 500000 CC attempts by noobs while he is walking down the ramp. so therefore i do not see this as a game breaking "exploit" i think the more annoying thing is getting yanked back down into the pit....

tommythecat Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 You should report me for pulling and stunning you in fire too. This is a legitimate means of thinning out your inzone. Also it doesn't work 100%, I've helped the other team score many times when it doesn't work as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exphryl Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Apparently you've never played Huttball. I want to live in this mythical world where Grapple works on the Ball carrier that close to the goal line 100% of the time personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a massive exploit, no one class should have that much power and control over their goal line. If you have any intention of keeping pvp fair this should be fixed immediately Learn 2 Play. First off it's impossible to camp the spawn because u get auto kicked. Second, tthey can't pull you if you pass the ball or get close enough to the goal. This only works at maximum grapple range, otherwise it ends up scoring. This just as legal as pulling some one into a hazard.

Kalaesk Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I support the use of Firepits and Acid to kill people with Grapple but this is most certainly an exploit. Being able to prevent the enemy team from scoring a single point because you can yank them into an instant kill area is beyond broken, especially when that kill area is right behind where they have to go.

Dartai Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I do this to people. I also agree that it is a terrible mechanic. The whole reason I abuse this is to hopefully get as many people mad about it as possible; the more people complaining and making threads the faster the devs will do something about it.

borkbork Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Devs can Just make the ledge no port terrain simple as that. This is poor terrain design not a grapple issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyuz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) the people saying this is "legal" or not an exploit are clueless idiots. You can survive if pulled into acid/fire. You cannot do ANYTHING if you get pulled into the enemy spawn as it instagibs you. I do this sometimes. But atleast I admit that Im a sad ****er when I do it...not like people going "LULULZ ITS FINE HERP DA DERP" But do not worry, this is getting fixed in the future.
