S__T Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Misleading title is misleading. In 1.2 if you're on a side with a lot more people on that faction, you'll be able to fight your own faction in: The new warzone Huttball Voidstar and after 1.2 Alderaan will be added to it as well.

savionen Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Uggh. Republic vs Republic Voidstar will be lame. What's the point of having 2 factions if you just fight against your own faction most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalFinality Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They couldn't just remove Voidstar? And Huttball? I'll play Alderaan all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habez Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 With all due respect Bioware, I hope this isn't the answer to your faction imbalance, I really want to pvp against the enemy, I.E The Republic, not my allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S__T Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's not misleading... you wont be able to UNQUE for Huttball.. that makes it forced! The title is MORE forced huttball. With this change its LESS. By a LARGE amount. Right now the only same-faction warzone is huttball. There will be 3 options, and then 4. So misleading title.

Schwarzwald Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Huttball is the best map currently. You really shouldn't be complaining. Granted I do have Juggernaut Bias because that place is like a jungle gym to me, but still, its probably the best designed map in terms of rewarding unique play, skill and strategy. I bet the only people complaining about huttball are operatives, but you guys should only be healers anyways when you are in huttball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, There will be more of it in the future for people that HATE forceball. I win. Thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethroin Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Get some back to back Voidstars with zero doors capped, and you'll be screaming for some Huttball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSaberRattler Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 While having the ability to queue for specific WZ's would be nice I am more than happy with them adding Voidstar and a new WZ for the moment. You can't get everything at once. Plus if they add cross server WZ it could get even better I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are looking for is "Continued" as in "1.2 Continued FORCED HUTTBALL" since it will not be greater quantity of it. In fact, as has been pointed out, you'll be less likely to be forced into Huttball since there will be more same-faction options. Either way, your usage of the term is colloquial yet grammatically inaccurate. "Continued' would have been a more meaningful term and accurate.

After playing huttball 95% of the time the last couple of months I really can't stand it. I like the game, but the PVP direction in this game is horrid. They shouldn't force us to play a warzone that we don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_DaGreat Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is great news as far as I am concerned. Huttball 80% of the time gets old. Yeah I would rather be killing reps but if I am forced to kill Imps give me some variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of having 2 factions if you just fight against your own faction most of the time. I already hate playing against my own side in huttball now I have to do it everywhere else AND I can't skip queuing for huttball? /sigh Just stop delaying it and make cross-server queues. The "server rivalry" is against my own side and thats just retarded so there is no point sticking to the "we want you to have a server rivalry in pvp".

fungihoujo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Ugh, great, that's what I wanted, to play VS more. I'd much rather see huttball any day of the week than enjoy HealStar tie breaker win/loss at random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNightfall Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Essentially, it will be forced Huttball, Voidstar, or the new warzone, not just more forced Huttball. Which is not exactly an overwhelming improvement, but less Buttball is less Buttball and something to be thankful for lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faeldawn Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Im not sure which is worse, the admission that they can't and/or won't address faction imbalance and choose to fudge a solution instead or the realisation for Bioware that their entire pvp system is completely fubar. Lets encourage players into warzones and out of Ilum....then because the faction balance is screwed lets have them kill each other over the Voidstar because thats really in keeping with the game lore. Same as the cross-server queues....it fixes none of the fundimental problems of players stranded on dead servers, it just puts a Mr. Men band-aid over the cracks and wanders off whistling as if it's going to heal on it's own now.
