Pascheine Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If you listen closely during the intro, you are told there are no rules. It's a fair tactic & strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inseeisyou Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 If two friendly Sorcs/Sages with half a brain can chain pull the ball carrier to the end zone in a matter of seconds, it dosn't seem unreasonable that the enemy has the ability to fight fire with fire.

Quip Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 +1 If it is this then I think its a fantastic tactic and one I do all the the time. Same with pulling people off of bridges in voidstar, however, of late i've noticed that in both, people are not actualy being pulled to where I need them, they seem to land in my character rather than just in front. In PvP using strategy is cheating, using the environment strategically elicits an angry forum post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEAS READ THE FOLLOWING WORDS OUT LOUD TO YOURSELF You die instantly when you are grappled up to the ledge. Instantly. This can and does happen as you are about to cross the goal line, even surrounded by a full team defending you. This is not working as intended. This is a mistake.

It happened to me just yesterday. This is incorrect. 90% of the time when this happens, you die before you score. Rarely does it count the score and also kill you. *IF* the score counted every time, I wouldn't see a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutbob Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 WRONG ATTENTION ALL UNINFORMED: This is a legit issue, to those who think it isn't... READ. If you are about to cap the Huttball, a forcepull/grapple performed by a player who is standing in their spawn area (up on the ledge) can instantly kill you PREVENTING YOU FROM SCORING. This is game breaking, and 100% not working as intended. Learn something before you call someone out. You are wrong! If they take this away then they should take away Jedi/Warrior leaping ability as well. Now I've never done this and I dont plan on it but it seems like fair play to me. Just as it is knocking someone off a ledge or in a fire/poison pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans_Puppet Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We've had many many many many threads on this and lets just say the children of the game will quote the announcer and say "He tells us to cheat" and the grown ups who want to play fairly without SPAWN KILLING in a way will say "He also says get the ball across the line any way possible" this 'exploit' being one of those ways in my opinion and should count as a score. They will then say they're not allowed to stay up there all the time because it will boot them... blah blah blah Either way the vocal folks on these forums are the ones that probably check her every day to see if the exploits, cheats and speed hacks are being fixed just so they can say they never would do such a thing in the thread telling us it was an exploit... Blah blah blah... one day these kids will enter the world of work and they'll have to grow up when Mummy stops paying their sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on being able to cross the line before you got taken advantage of though. happens frequently on our server. It's stupid, and it needs to be fixed. We bug report it every time it happens, and so far have just gotten the stock CSR response of "please check the official forums to see if there's a solution to your issue".

Magnesium Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Attention misinformed guy: You score if they do this to you. You don't die until well after you cross the line. It happened to me just yesterday. Had this happen to me yesterday and you die before you score, at least it has 100% of the time to me. This is a stupid tactic and shouldn't be allowed and it is obvious to anyone that it is not what they intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizcuits Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I thought it expressly said that cheating is allowed in Hutball? You sir, are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whataboutbob Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) why no crying about leaper scoring? Now that I have done many times either from a fire pit of the lower level. Shouldnt this be prevented then? Quit making excuses for your bad game, it happens to everyone. Just kill the guy the next time you see them and you'll feel better.

I mean, you're crossing the plane of the goal line! Just 20 feet up. Just like football, this should always count as a score, then you'd have no more problems!

This can and does happen as you are about to cross the goal line, even surrounded by a full team defending you. This is not working as intended. This is a mistake. Nothing prevents your team from pulling the guy down or using ranged incapacitation moves(such as Force Stun, etc). Or simply learn to anticipate the pulls, and pass the ball to a team-mate. Especially if you're having the "full team defending you". Game says cheating is encouraged in Huttball as "unfair play" as it might be to pull ball carriers into death. Deal with it.

drkieros Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Last time I checked the announcer says cheating is allowed in Huttball. I don't have this problem nearly as much as others because of unstoppable force charge. It feels so good to be able to score while that BH is trying to grapple me up.

Kalliadies Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) nothing prevents your team from pulling this guy down? ahh duh, your team has to have someone with a pull. And that someone has to be in a position to do it. and stun? Usually im the only one within sight from my team when im carriyng the hutball. getting pulled in is just a cheesy exploit. Why should i die from being in their spawn? its to keep me from camping them, so why should they be allowed to pull me in. Honestly I dont mind the insta kill. But I do mind that all my hard work to get the ball there is undone without a thing you can do about it. Sure leave the insta kill, but add insta score Edited January 31, 2012 by Kalliadies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
