How Excited is everyone about Huttball

**Tomhvk** · 2011-09-27, 09:14 AM

I have been playing RBG's in WoW over the past couple of months and im loving the team work, the preparation loving when a plan comes together! and this has really put me in the mood for some proper Huttball pvp.

How excited is everyone about it?
Do you think we will see a spectator mode?
Do you think we will see a ladder type system soon after launch?

I personally am really really excited for it! I just hope people i get teamed with actually try to score instead of just kill haha!
I don't no if there would be a spectator mode. Personally i wouldn't watch any games unless it was like both pre-made teams

A ladder type system? How would it work?

(yay 50 posts!

haha!)

I will be into this style of PvP QUITE a bit, considering it's largely different than what is currently offered in most MMOs.

I just want to know how deeply class abilities will play into this. Seems like Force Leap/Pull will rule this game?

**Thriod** · 2011-09-27, 09:29 AM

Doesn't Leaps and pull rule in other PvP as well... unless there is a blink involved :P

Super duper overly excited. I love huttball!

It might get fun once people figure out how to play it... but not before then.
levels get confusing for new players.. lost on a smallish map, etc

Haha yeah, I'm pretty stoked to see what some of the counter-abilities are for different things.

Eh. I don't think it will work well in random groups. I look forward to watching real teams play each other though.

OT: I can´t wait to try it out. All the le.. Official videos ive seen looks great. First of all it´s a bloody carnage. Second is that you most likely will be able to CC people in the death traps. And if we all learn to pass the ball it would be awesome.

Premade Huttball with my mates will be a blast I reckon.

I watched the trailer and some gameplay and can say I am thoroughly excited. I hated PVP in WoW, but with TOR it's looking better and better.

**FreakEyy** · 2011-09-27, 11:01 AM

I am all about the PvP in this game, and Hutball is something different. Something that the other games haven't even thought about it seems like. So I'm supder duper mega hyper la fyper excited for Hutball. Looks real fun, a complete new way for PvPin'

**Flimsy** · 2011-09-27, 11:22 AM

I cant wait for this I love that they are adding new ideas to pvp, bring on the huttball!

**MmoFanatic** · 2011-09-27, 11:23 AM

I LOVE IT!! looks so damn fun

**Sighz** · 2011-09-27, 01:43 PM

Premades? Sure.
Random groups? Not even going near that.

**Shamburger** · 2011-09-27, 01:50 PM

Semi-excited. The announcer will get REALLY annoying if the leak videos are anything to go by.

**Gallahadd** · 2011-09-27, 01:53 PM

I'm so excited... it's making me want to PvP, something WoW hasn't managed to do in over 5 years of playing

the one problem I can see with it though (other than the announcer

) is that people wont bother actually PLAYING the game, and will just fight eachother in the middle of the field. In the few small vids I've seen people dont seem to really CARE about the game itself, and just want to farm honor (is it still called honor in Swtor?).

if they can find a way to stop that, then I'll probably join a professional huttball team, and become the worlds greatest ball-grabber!...wait.... that doesn't sound right...

**JustintimeSS** · 2011-09-27, 01:59 PM

Decently excited I must say. I think this PVP excitement is equal to a few times in wow. Being level 33 on my first toon and we raided Xroads for 4 hours. Being in the first WSG match after it's release. Playing the first AV match on the server and it lasted for 2 days.

**Karteli** · 2011-09-27, 02:01 PM

I'm looking forward to all the PVP games this game offers.

Huttball looks very unique, one of those games that is easy to pick up, but extremely difficult to master. Now I just have to learn how to push people into the traps...

**BeingRepressed** · 2011-09-27, 02:44 PM

Huttball is going to be a total cluster when PUGing. I expect many people to run the ball in the wrong direction, fail to pass the ball, and in general just totally ignore the actual objective of the match in favor of a FFA.

In organized teams, I really have no clue how it will work. The passing mechanic means that it will be very difficult to stop someone from scoring, unless you can intercept the ball fairly easily.

**moff** · 2011-09-27, 02:52 PM

I loved wow battlegrounds and I think I'll enjoy huttball very much, it looks certainly like a very nice capture the flag version
