noodlehaus Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 anyone agree? even if it's the same mechanics. the warzone is just awesome and having more maps for it would really make WZ farming more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenrik Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Definitely agree. And you'd think it would be a good decision for the devs since they already have the Huttball UI and mechanics in place, so it seems like they'd be able to push out map variations faster. Maybe they'll be selling "Huttball 2 Entry Tickets" on the Cartel Market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingsofcover Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'd like to see more huttball maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeToo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It'd be nice if they could simply 'randomize' a different map for every instance ... wouldn't be too terribly hard to implement, slightly longer load screens, but would be interesting to have to think/strategize on-the-fly for a change. At least implement some random obstacles, have the "hutts" toss in grenades if you camp in one spot too long, have more than one ball drop location, etc.. Plenty of simple ways to trick it up just a bit to keep it fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetastic Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 More maps and a "Huttball only" option in the que would be AMAZING. But if it's not possible then a few more maps would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdcron Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I very much like this suggestion. Every other aspect of the warzone could be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoobooMagoo Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would very much support new huttball maps. Huttball is awesome. Playing on different maps would make it even more awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgon Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Huttball maps are among the better ideas. It should only be introduced with a Huttball only que though, for players who want to start organizing Huttball leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoogli Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 "Let's PLAYYYYY HuttBAAAAAALL !!!" It's my favorite as well he he... Great idea !!! And with new teams as well : "STOMPRATS SCOOOOOOORE !!!" "Seems like BATCATS have a new strategy : let the STOMPRATS win !" "Stay away from the hazard MUDSNAKES !!!"

Spiritinblack Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Put this in the suggestion forums. Not because this is not the place for it, but because this is an awesome idea. I would PvP alot more if there were more maps for huttball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubernetic Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 anyone agree? even if it's the same mechanics. the warzone is just awesome and having more maps for it would really make WZ farming more interesting. I second this. I'm not sure what kind of layout I would look for, but maybe some kind of circular map where you had to get down levels to get to the ball, then circle and climb your way back out to either side to score, or pass up the side, but with maybe overhangs and walls that prevent you from just tossing it up boom-boom-boom in a chain. But I would definitely like another Huttball map or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Variden Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) I disagree, heres why. No other WZ map caters, no, rewards one particular class archetype over others. Force users dominate this map, the fact that they can bypass otherwise unpassable obstacles like fire/acid, and high walls, makes this map woefully unbalanced towards all class types. Can the other classes survive and prosper, certaintly. Can they do so with the same amount of relative ease, not likely. Force Charge + Force Speed + Huttball = We win Edited December 14, 2012 by Variden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Force Charge + Force Speed + Huttball = We win However, those classes are available on both teams. And usually come in relatively equal setting. People often forget that warzones are a team effort. Yes, they may force charge and force speed, however if they're instantly nuked in the center by e.g. agents, that didn't help them a lot. People really ought to start looking at warzones more from a team perspective, rather than fighting against their own team more than against the opponents.

I agree and had been thinking the same thing! I was going to make a post about it. I enjoy Huttball very much and I think it would make the original map more fun to play if we also had a new map to enjoy Huttball on for some variety.

I like and hate this idea. I like the idea because when I'm in the mood for huttball I get disappointed with everything else....but I'd hate that because I feel like that'd be more games of half the team being juggies and guardians.

Hadyn Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I support this! More maps and more traps - exploding ones, maybe? What about booby traps that one team can lure another team into. Wouldn't it be fun to lure noobs into a fire pit that they didn't know was there? What about instead of the Sorc friendly mostly horizontal map we have right now a tall map with melee scrumming at the bottom for the ball and then you have to reach the top to score (meaning the ranged would have to control the end zone)?

Strange, I thought that I was the only one thinking that way- yes, more huttball please. I have been playing with the idea of a 5 level huttball map with 2 or 3 elevators that are constantly in motion. There are the usual traps/whatnot, in addition to holes on each level for passing/attacking through. One elevator (or two, if three elevators are impemented) would move slowly, while the other moves quickly. Yeah, it's a little convoluted, and the HERP engine probably couldn't handle it, but it sure would be different. Nice, even. originally posted in PvP forums, sorry for pimping my own comments:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
