Question: If you are cloaked/stealthed can you catch the ball if passed to? Thinking that you if you told your friend on Skype that you were in front of the boxes in left lower mid (or whatever) he could just throw it to you while no one knows you are there.
i heard that hutball was supposed to be random teams from both factions, but every time i play it's always republic vs imperials. i'm on a pvp server if that means anything
Sucks that you two basically carried everyone else there and won the WZ for them yet you get 2 MVP votes between you! People are voting MVP for top damage or whatever when it really doesn't do much when it comes to actually winning.
Awesome movie Mike!! You can see the timer on the barrier, in the middle of the barrier, it has 4 parts that is the countdown, when there are no bright parts left, it opens :)
You play alot like me, though I'm Sorcerer, but I usually do a score from the start, as most people are not fast enough to get to the ball fast enough :D
I don't even like swtor or pvp and these last two videos have been awesome. You do a great job at explaining the fun and competitive parts of the game and make me want to actually play.
fony do you stream swtor? i guess ill do some research to find out if you are on twitch or justin. i started watching your videos when i first saw your twink gnome rogue video on wowhead years ago, thats how i got introduced to pendulum xD! So you can imagine how excited i was to find out you decided to play a sith assassin =)
Damn EA for the stupid 5 dollar preorder fee that I don't want to support. Wish I could have started playing before tomorow, because it looks so amazing.
Hey Mike, had a question do you think the tanky "classes" such as Juggernaut would be a viable Huttball runner? Me and a couple friends would be doing premades, so just wondering if that would work out.
So you got in mike eh? good for you, GAME.co.uk kind of messed up my preorder code and I didn't get it so still waiting...one of the most important game releases in a long time for me and I miss it. Feeling blue about it.
The ball mechanic (and i tested it) is calculated as a line from the point of launch to the center of the target circle. if an enemy stands in that line they will intercept it even if they are outside of the circle, i think. It's not whoever is closest to center. Works the same way as WoW's beam mechanics in bosses (Hagara?)
@frag971 I noticed on one of the bosses in hammerstation that TOR had the "inline" mechanic. Therefore, I am certain that you are correct about the LOS intercept... and I shall now move to exploit it.. :D Good tip!
Love the gimics (ball throwing and traps) but without getting any credit for using them properly people will just sit in the mid and farm hk's. In wow and bf3 you get heaps of points for playing objectively over kd/hk ratio.
@Erribell What the heck are you talking about? It's just a simple Capture the Flag except you can pass the flag. Nothing really new here at all and it's quite uninspired.
@leonbazart Where did I say I hate it? I think it looks like fun, but it isn't innovative in the slightest. The game looks good and has some unique features (such as the personal quest experience), but this isn't one of them. Read before you comment.
@Essenji The map design, the traps, the fact you can actually pass the flag. Is better than most CTF since you use the terrain a lot more than you do in other MMO's.
@TheLowdefinitionTv True. But it is in no way "the most innovative thing" in SWTOR. Haven't really played the game, but I would assume that the personal questing experience to be far more innovative.
This game really looks like nothing new. I just don't see it being able to keep up with newer mmos coming out which push new mechanics and stuff we haven't already seen before.
I'm playing a smuggler. I like it a lot and pvp in this game is surprisingly good, especially when you have healers backing you up. My favorite thing to do on this map is use Dirty Kick (which kicks the enemy in the balls and stuns them for 5 seconds) when my opponent is on the fire gyser and watch them hold their crotch and burn to death xD.
