Huttball exploit or intended feature ?

So today a group of enemy players managed to camp our spawn line by throwing the ball to people who just spawned in the huttball. As soon as the pass hits the player on our team they were instantly killed. Is this an intentional feature or an exploit ? When the player dies ball instantly returns to the person who threw it, ensuring that they can keep throwing it indefinitely and killing everyone who tries to respawn.

Not intentional.

 

Said feature is place in Huttball just in case player choose to turtle with the ball in their base.

 

And in this case, enemy player are overpowering and able to corner entire team in spawn point. Therefore was able to pass the ball to a player that is still in their base, instant kill them with this anti-turtle feature.

 

What can be done:

 

1. Leave the warzone by staying in the spawn area. No point in continue the game.

 

2. Try your luck, if enemy team pass the ball and the ball did not land before player leave the spawn area edge, player get the ball without dying.

 

I actually ruin one of the lv50 premade Huttball farming with #2, try to jump at the edge it will usually cause a ball "intercept" instead of "pass."

 

After that either try score/reset/pass back to enemy that is on the score line to continue/end the game.

Why would anyone risk getting banned for this?

 

All that time invested in character

 

 

whatever

 

This is not a bannable offense. Even if it is, they'd be given a warning, MAYBE a temp ban.

 

Just one more in a long list of bugs to fix.

they're banning people that are low lvl for going to a high lvl planet. if they dont ban these people then bioware is a weird company.
