Satans_Puppet Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yes but it's not you carrying the ball across the line, it's your opponent doing it Yeah but the ball is still in the teams possession, they're carrying the ball... it's the person doing the pulling that's carrying the player.... They don't have the ball. THey're just helping the player over the line. If they fix this though, the players in question looking for this sort of stuff will move on to the next thing. I just think the behaviour ruins the game for newbies to arenas. I think it's bloody stupid but newer players might not want to put up with it when it's done to them and the queues... they do get longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBloodloss Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ball Handler pulled into Enemy Spawn: Empire Tactics! What does this even have to do with the Empire? Without that part, it would seem like a legit concern but because of that sentence it just comes of as QQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFirewind Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The announcer does say "any means possible" even if that's using your opponents to pull you in Then blame the Hutts it's their game and pulling carriers into the spawn where they explode is highly entertaining . Also consider that in games like American Football, I'm fairly sure that being carried over the line would get the touchdown disallowed. Does it actually say "by any means"? The commentary in Huttball has been really buggy since the patch. I forgot what he actually says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhazesx Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The thing is that you will get booted out if you stay in the starting zone for a long time. Jump down before timer runs out and die in fire, respawn back. Rinse and repeat. It takes to much coordination to get around this and score. There are several people on my server and this is all they do in warzones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angmaster Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Happens to me constantly as well, have lost a good number of matches because people were using this exploit, incredibly frustrating. keep crying bro. i want to see those fishy tears of yours.

serovan Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The people who do it fail at the game. So, cheat on losers. At least you know you are garbage. I wish Bioware hadn't put that flavor voice over saying "cheating" was legal. Now every moron and their sub-par IQ friend will quote it when they find some easy way to cheat the pvp game. As if that justifies breaking the game. You people who think this is "all good" really need to learn how to pvp instead of trying to find any desperate way to get wins.

Fiachsidhe Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks for proving my point about the lack of moral compass you two... Funny how the people who do stuff like this, all seem to share the same brain, the same infantile posting habits, and the same responses. Who would have thought people bad enough to cheat at video games, would also have the personality, and communication skills of a teratoma.

If your only excuse for losing a Huttball match is someone was pulling carrier into spawn, perhaps it is you would should L2P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicSaint Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's part of the game mechanic, deal with it and stop crying. Not everything is an exploit. QQ It's an exploit Abusing a poorly designed terrain is no excuse for instakilling a player with no way of retaliating or countering. Nor is it even intended by the largely misguided Biowuss Company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poasiodss Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'll admit, I do this on my Jedi Shadow and loovvee doing it. As a Shadow tank, you can sit stealthed after respawning and pull up the ballhandler out of the blue without any fear of accidentally receiving the ball. Even so, this doesn't seem any more intended than Sc/Op helping teammates capture PvP objectives while in stealth. The simplest solution would be to allow scoring as long as the ball handler touches the space above the goal line. The announcer does say "any means possible" even if that's using your opponents to pull you in Should my bros and I go install this speedhack I've heard so much about since we can use 'any means possible'? Also, can someone link this elusive Dev post saying the pull mechanism is being used as intended in this Warzone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyree Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Make sure to report players like that, that are obviously exploiting. Right before every Huttball game the announcer says "Cheating is encouraged!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjameson Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Look, it's obvious that the people that use this tactic can't get a kill any other way. Please allow these bads to get a kill every once in a while. They deserve our sympathy, not our anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphonemilk Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Make sure to report players like that, that are obviously exploiting. Using an ABILITY that is given to you in your spellbook is exploiting? Forgetting the ANNOUNCER at the beginning of huttball who even tells you to cheat.. putting that aside.. this isn't even exploiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aghar Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Bioware has actually come out and said this is a valid tactic. Also if you want a neat trick, throw him the ball....It will one shot him and give you the ball back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyree Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's not an exploit. If you see someone setting up to do it, just throw the ball to them. That kills them and the ball bounces back to someone on your team. The game has a built in way to deal with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyn Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's part of the game mechanic, deal with it and stop crying. Not everything is an exploit. QQ Really? It is an obvious exploit that hurts the game. We as a community need make the game better and stop being so selfish. The ilum patch day was a disaster and we are still feeling the impact of that day and it has hurt PvP balance. No you want something else to hurt it. We should all be better than this and sit and call people names for pointing out something that is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has a built in way to deal with this. yup.. people are just crying about it right now b/c it probably shocked them and they had no idea what to do. Also have some of your team mates SET themselves up for a pass, then quickly pass it to them before being pulled. There's many things to do here in this situation. THE POINT BEING? this is actually GOOD in a PvP setting.. random things happening.. tactics.. innovative playstyles... NOT THE SAME OLD BORING WSG flag carrying BULL @#@# One tank carrying the ball... and a TRAIN of healers keeping him alive, walking slow to touch down the ball... ummm... BORING? Fire.. ledges.. Poison.. all of these elements Add to what makes Huttball great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aghar Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Honestly if you are caught by this little trick you are most likely not paying attention in the first place. Every time I go for a score I make sure the ledge is clear. If it's not I pass laterally to one of my teamates that is already on the line, and woot, we score. Bypassed this pull trick so many times, people have stopped trying to use it on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oloh Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You know you still get the score, right? No. You don't. At least no one on our team ever has and we have someone do it to us almost every match b/c we are 6-0ing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
