Emperorx Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Can someone please tell me how we lost. Both teams did not plant once and both teams were stuck on the first set of doors. Why didn't the game end as a tie? Is Bioware really favoring the Empire over the Republic? http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5553/screenshot2012012119504.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDartheous Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Apparently ties don't exist in the Star Wars galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muscarine Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Don't cry i had the same one a couple days ago and republic won although we did plant a bomb (didn't have time to explode, timer ended) and they planted none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergina Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 that always happens to me too. whenever its a tie in voidstar or huttball, empire gets the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerdoc Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 In voidstar if there is a tie the team who was assaulting last gets the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchlessGlory Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 From my understanding.. Huttball = Whoever is holding the ball when it ends Voidstar = Whichever team starts on Defense first wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperThomas Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 From my understanding.. Huttball = Whoever is holding the ball when it ends Voidstar = Whichever team starts on Defense first wins. I have been in situations where defending first, and still don't win. There is either a bug or something Nioware has failed to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarthorn Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I was in the match, the guardian (top medal earner, ya ya i know i suck, etc) was so bored at the empire tactic of stack healers in case you were wondering why I said what I said. Still suprised that Bioware didn't think to include a heal debuff skill, but ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperorx Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 From my understanding.. Huttball = Whoever is holding the ball when it ends Voidstar = Whichever team starts on Defense first wins. So your saying that Bioware determines the winner based on luck on whoever is defending on a tie match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocaspar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I just lost a voidstar with a 3-3 tie. Republic was defending first. Highest player scores also didn't affect the outcome in a tie scenario as I was once told because Republic had 6 people at the top of the charts. Oh and I have the screenshot to prove it. Sounds pretty random. Edited January 24, 2012 by Robocaspar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iret Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Whoever ATTACKS first get the tiebreaker. e.g Republic attack first, fail to open first door, Imps attack second, fail to open first door = Republic wins cause Imps could not beat the time it took Republic to plant the bomb (even though no one planted the bomb). Huttball = If a game is tied, team holding ball at the end wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey_swtor Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) It is whoever defended first because: If you are attacking first and you theoretically make it to the core in 1 min, that is what the clock is set at for the 2nd wave. Then the second wave has exactly 1 min to either match your time or beat your time. So.. if you are attacking the second time (2nd wave) and make it to the same objective as the opposing team within the time frame, you are given the win because you were limited on the FULL amount of time in which the 1st attacking wave team was actually allowed. As far as not making it past the first door on either team, Im not really sure. Maybe the same rule applies as above. I personally have never seen this happen lol... (We always make it past the first door) Edited January 24, 2012 by Smokey_swtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astarica Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I just won a game that's tied 2-2 and we attacked first. There's some tiebreakers but it's not clear how they work. I'd like to say it's whoever get the first objective first but I'm pretty sure we got through the first door later than the enemy did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forkrul Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) From what my guild has been able to gather in the case of a tie it is the sum of all medals on your side that acts as a tiebreaker. Several times when we have had Voidstar end due to imbalance at the very start we have managed to win by getting 2-3 medals each very fast while the enemy gets almost none. We have consistently won that way regardless of our position as defender/attacker. I also suspect this to be the case with a tied huttball with no one holding ball at the end.

Medals have nothing to do with the deciding factor on who wins. Its simply an incentive to try harder^^ Whoever is holding the ball at the end of a tied match in huttball is announced the winner.

RoeKG Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Could be that the other team had a plant but it was removed, that might count as far as tie-breaking is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equitas_Vindex Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm more curious about how a Jedi Sentinel did ~570k damage and only had 16 kills... Was the healing from the Empire team that righteous? Jeeze... lol BTW, OP, what talent tree did you go up for the Sentinel? I think I'm going to start working on my lvl 20 Sent again.
