TheFishes Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 As we all know that Huttball will most likely be the first WZ to have "rated" play implemented into it, and we all know that the most devastating weapon in competetive pvp play is the game itself, Here's something that came to mind... Situation: You have your 8 man premade huttball team in a match, but within the first 2 minutes of the game, you realize you're well out-matched on gear. Because you have a sorc/sage juggy/guard combo on your team (as every team will), you've managed to fastcap a score while the other team wasn't looking... It's now 1-0 in your favor, and you want the win because rating/points are everything... Smart money says don't risk it, and you already know BH's can pull targets up into the spawn area to a horrible gorey end. You think to yourself "hmmm, I woner if that's a two way street..." Here's the QUESTION: Has anyone tried/experimented with fast capping, then passing the ball back towards your side, and having a juggy intercede or a sorc pull up the ball carrier into YOUR OWN spawn area...? If this is possible, I'd be willing to waste 15 minutes to keep the rating up depending on how good the rewards are... remember, Gerrada encourages CHEATING!!!

Lokiliesmith Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It would be hard to stay up there, you only have 1 minute before you get booted from the WZ. I think if you can keep the ball up there for a minute though, more power to you. When their team gets to you and you get pulled down you better throw the ball away fast or you're basically giving away points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulstitchMMO Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yeah so maybe you should huttball more. There is a tactic that is called 'goaltending' If you pull the ball carrier up to the spawn they die instantly the moment they hit the ledge. If the enemy passes the ball to someone on the ledge... that person dies. You can't sit in your spawn with the ball, you die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking more up that side... I know if you pull the ball carrier up and across the goal line he croaks, but next time your in a huttball, hang a right and follow the ledge all the way around to the side before you jump down... that's where I'm talking about...

tsupra Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It counts as the same area, you'll die if you have the ball there too. And will count as a goal for the oposition:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorbidAri Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you hold the ball too long, the enemy team gets it. So you would give them a free goal. Just a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSOKSouthpaw Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 There are aalready systems in place that prevent this. Please at least test out your theories before posting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
