I would like to say how impressed I am the Multiplaying crew has stuck around so long in SWTOR. I am truly loving the game, But I do have an issue with SWTOR. The lack of variety in the Warzones. Most MMOs these days have these types of things. And they are my favorite part of MMOs. A long, long time ago in WoW I would stay up half the night just playing capture the flag. WAR just had so many scenarios. SWTOR on the other hand, just has the three right now. Is anyone else getting tired of playing huttball?

I've been tired of Huttball since I first realized you could play Huttball

I am with Jamus...mostly. I am not burdened with the hassle of Warzones very often. I simply enjoy grouping and socializing in PvE. I do enjoy PvP in groups though.

My issue with huttball isn't the scenario itself, it's that the population imbalance forces it to be >70% of the matches I play especially when I can't play at prime time.
Other than that, I like the scenarios. Each one is distinct with it's own strategies and all can give a hell of a fight.

huttball would be more fun if it was on a larger field and the ball was not placed in a neutral zone, rather kicked off or handed off to the opposing side after a score with a reset of starting location after scores.

After playing a bunch of League of Legends and Super Monday Night Combat this past week or so... I can no longer play SWTOR PvP. I love competitive online games and I adore PvP in MMOs when it's good. I really don't mind the Alderaan warzone, but the other two just do nothing for me. Good thing the rest of the game is great or I'd be upset.

Agreed, Slurms & Qhoren. I was just hoping for more PvP than I got. I even thought about reinstalling WAR. Just to get a fix of some RvR, but to lazy for that. Huttball is not that bad if only it wasn't the zone that pops most of the time. The other two I really do enjoy playing.

I didn't like it at first, but as I play it more and more, I like it more and more. It is about the strategy of moving the ball, not a FFA kill fest. If you go into it like Rugby with death, or that old Games Workshop game Blood Bowl, it is fun. I want to play with a regular group who actually uses tactics to move the ball up the field.
It is definitely a change of pace from regular pvp.

Precisely. Huttball is by far the most strategic PvP zone I've ever played (not that I've played a lot, mind you). Knocking people into acid/fire (or stunning them there), passing the ball (and/or missing/intercepting it), using different routes to the goal line, randomly being thrown in the air by the jets. It's really quite genius, and I think as more people get used to playing it, that will come out. Of course, no matter how clever a zone in, playing it 7/10 times can certainly wear a person down.

This is why most people hate Huttball. Most people don't have a full group of people working together on voice chat moving the ball upfield. If we can setup a team for Multiplaying/RMC I think we will have much better luck with all the Warzones, especially Huttball.

The level 50 bracket might not have been enough. Most of these warzones are only as fun as how close the matches are. Too often you get one side or the other with a premade (or as close as we can get), and they end up dominating. That, and quitting matches in the 50 bracket is terrible, as people only care about getting their dailies.
I happen to like huttball, because even in a losing match you can get some good fights. Alderaan as well is pretty fun, as it relies more on quick reactions and a good coordinated strategy. Voidstar though? Even when we win I despise it. I can't wait until we can pick our matches for queuing.
