Yeeeah, but that's not qute the same thing as them teaming up with Darth Vader and Boba Fett in a battle to the death against some other Hutt's BG team.
those guys havent been born yet, derp! it sounds silly when you say "boba fett and vader wouldnt do this ish" because they never have or never will anyway. if you want to emulate boba fett or vader in tor, go right ahead. you can even turn your nose up to huttball just like you think they would if that makes you feel better. but theres a lot of other roleplayers (you know, the ones that play these types of games) that dont preoccupy themselves with WWVD
Again yeeeah. Unlike real world history where cultures changed and evolved over time, Bioware's Old Republic is actually the child of its supposed great great great grand children. And Bioware has gone out of their way to make their world set thousands of years earlier incredibly similar to the "far flung future". So they set the precident of what happend in the Star Wars films relevant to behviors in the Old Republic. So DERP! yourself. They also decided to straight jacket players into the two factions, but then added this BG game where both factions that are in a brutal struggle for supremacy will put aside their differences and work together in one silly BG. And I do mean silly. Huttball seems to have more in common with an uncountable number of stupid comic book supervillan death trap stories, or massive super hero comic book cross overs such as Marvel's Secret Wars, rather than anything based on the Star Wars universe. Like I said, if you think its silly because of lore, then play that out in game, Thats awesome. Personally, Im going to want to play Huttball so I'll find an easy way to work my character into it.
i was considering maybe trying the trial of TOR one day, but with circus acts like this one wrecking every possibility of immersion, i wouldnt touch this game with a stick even if it was f2p.
how do you guys feel about Huttball? will you take your Jedi Master Sage or lvl 80 Inquisitor to play space football when theyre taking a break from seeing into the future, meditating, and toppling empires?
Its nice you've found the time to stop fawning over GW2 to give us an "honest" opinion of TOR.
I seriously can't understand why the fans of one game find it necessary to shit all over another one. Is there not room for both? I plan on playing GW2 and TOR but my past experience with the GW1 community and the actions of its "fans" on forums like this make me ask myself "Why even bother with GW2?".
As for Huttball, it looks fun and when was the last time you could be killed in Battle Ground pvp by the environment, other than falling? Having to watch out for acid pools and flame pits will change the way people regard BG's imo.
So relax. Its just a game and Huttball is an optional mini game that adds something different. Good lord! I shake my head at you people more and more often.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
This sort of goes up the same alley as Barbrawls in GW2 (not to turn it into that). It fits, but why would the heroes do it? Because it's something to do that isn't doing quests, taking control points and other such things that are standards to MMO. Would a jedi do it? why not? A jedi must learn all things in order to understand the world better. Plus if you hurt the enemy in this game you've taken out a powerful warrior without so much as causing an infraction between the two. You've slowed the enemy down without ticking them off. Id' call that a good reason to partake in these events, Jedis learn awareness (to avoid traps) teamwork which is very important to fighting. Learn how the enemy thinks outside of battle (also important), plus you gain money which you can in turn give back to the republic so they can buy weapons, armors and other such goodies.
Light sided jedi would use this as an oppertunity to learn the other side, gain money to give back republic to fuel the war against the sith, and to better themselves.
Dark sided Jedi would use this as an oppertunity to harm the other side (empire) in order to slow their attack efforts
Light sided sith again would be similar to Jedi except wanting to put the money forth to stop the republic.
While dark sided sith..well they are self explanitory they just use this to cause damage and harm other people, fame and fortune are a plus
THe other classes are likely just doing it for fame and fortune.
This is on lines with GW2 bar brawl which doesn't help them kill the dragon and is opposite to the idea of trying to work together to complete an objective, and SWG housing system which seems counter intuitive when your suppose to be kill empire/republic. Did luke own a house..no, did he decorate his house? No he didn't. I've often seen times that republic people who weren't overt would walk up to vader..yes vader surrounded by all his empire, and he would do nothing.
Is it completely realistic to the lore..maybe, depends on the reasoning they used but it works for the game, as well as housing in SWG did and barbrawls in GW2 do.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.

how do you guys feel about Huttball? will you take your Jedi Master Sage or lvl 80 Inquisitor to play space football when theyre taking a break from seeing into the future, meditating, and toppling empires?
It only breaks immersion if you choose to let it. If you're deep into the RP aspect of the game and find Huttball beneath you, don't participate in it. That would be perfectly in keeping with your character. You can even play it up by chiding others for their "juvenile and worldly pursuits". Besides, it's just a minigame (isn't it?) so you won't need to ever go near it to progress.

I'm sure this has been posted already but just in case.
LA has done more to kill it's own franchise (i.e. Jar Jar, the whole Prequil fiasco in general, Clone Wars etc) than BW will ever to to SW.
If Huttball is all the "imersion breaking" that we REAL SW fans see in-game then we should count ourselves lucky. I for one will not play it prolly, but i'm OK with its existance.

Huttball sounds kind of lame,like it should belong in Battlestar Galactica Online or Starship Troopers. But I don't find it offensive like some, just something I will ignore.

This additional instanced, redundant content, 4v4 UT2004-like, lobby-system, third-person shooter, skirmish mini-map game-play is an addition to the overly instanced, emphasized and promoted game-play, that is furthest from my idea of Massively-Multiplayer.
Hehe, I will. I can see my Smuggler's new catch phrase, "Huttball!? That's a game for Gungans and effeminate protocal droids, not REAL men!"

Personally as long as there is still world PVP to be had, I can live with these things as a diversion.

It only breaks immersion if you choose to let it. If you're deep into the RP aspect of the game and find Huttball beneath you, don't participate in it. That would be perfectly in keeping with your character. You can even play it up by chiding others for their "juvenile and worldly pursuits". Besides, it's just a minigame (isn't it?) so you won't need to ever go near it to progress.
HA! ... in a rather strained and oddly high pitched voice.

I'm sure this has been posted already but just in case.
LA has done more to kill it's own franchise (i.e. Jar Jar, the whole Prequil fiasco in general, Clone Wars etc) than BW will ever to to SW.
If Huttball is all the "imersion breaking" that we REAL SW fans see in-game then we should count ourselves lucky. I for one will not play it prolly, but i'm OK with its existance.

finally. someone who can make an objective evaluation without letting their bioware fanatism get in the way.
you are absolutely right. its not only a rape to the lore, its a violation to what a proper MMORPG is.
Try finding someone who can make an objection evaluation without letting their own unrealistic expectations get in the way.
There Is Always Hope!
What a great attitude, the only sane person is the one who agrees with me!! ROFl

Huttball sounds kind of lame,like it should belong in Battlestar Galactica Online or Starship Troopers. But I don't find it offensive like some, just something I will ignore.
Yes, its an "objective evaluation" because he agrees with you.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Looks like I'm off to play some Huttball.
