Guild PVP event

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I would like to get two guild groups together to get everyone aquainted with Huttball and PVP in general. I myself have never been a huge PVPer but the battlegrounds in this game look incredibly fun and I am dying to try it.

Playing against and with all guild member teams would make it even better. If we can control the opposing team selection that is.

If anyone is interested let me know. I am sure that the Guild officers in charge of PVP will be getting together soon to organize more events but until then I say we should try a few rounds.

I will be interested, havent done pvp yet, because the story part of the game is too much fun right now.

I'm in the same boat. I usually loathe the adrenaline headaches I get from PvP, but I think I won't get nearly as intense doing it with my fellow Stonewallers. Besides, I agree, Huttball looks interesting.

I'd definitely be up for it.

That was my point exactly. I am not a strong PVPer so I figured there would be less pressure and more fun if it was a guild group. I just hope we can stage both teams for the game so it can really be an all guild event.

I know the eventual goal is to have the PvP-focused Officer coordinate this type of thing, but as with everything else right now, it certainly doesn't hurt things to cobble together these types of events 'unofficiallly.'

Guild events don't need to be officially 'sanctioned' or preplanned months in advance. Anyone is welcome invite their fellow Stonewallers to participate in group activities.

That said, I'm up for trying to help get this one moving. With the upcoming realignment, I think this is a good time and a good way to reinforce the One Guild mentality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in PVP (at least until Patch 1.1 when 50's are moved into their own Tier) everyone is promoted to the same level, so everyone, regardless of level, can participate in all of the PvP offerings, right?

Maybe this weekend during some of the peak times we can try to encourage an ad-hoc team on each side (assuming it's even possible to have private PvP matches) to put together a Huttball game or a battleground or two.

Anyone out there a little more experienced with PvP that maybe can help answer some of these questions?

The lack of a cross-faction custom chat channel is still a sore spot for me. ;-)

That is correct... Everyone can participate right now... The only advantage higher levels give you are an increasing pool of abilities and dirty tricks you can use :P

Also, at 50, there's a new stat called "Expertise" that scales up your damage and healing done, and received...

Thanks for the info Ryyven!

I've been doing a little bit of PvP (got a 6 ranking right now). Up until yesterday, I had only done the one where you have the turrets shooting down the ship. But FINALLY I got Huttball. Man, that was different. Think of capture the flag meets rugby meets an obstacle course. I'm a level 22 right now and usually do okay on some of the PvPs. There was one time where I absolutely rocked! But lately it seems to be getting a little harder, I'm guessing with more people getting their bonuses at level 50. But it's still fun and gives you a good break from that mission you just can't get or traveling from point A to point B when you need it.

Count me in!! I'm not the best at pvp and usually get my back side handed to me. I've done 3 pvp things in SW:Tor, 2 huttball (love it!!!!!) and one where you had to fly to the center to capture different points. I totally rotted at that one. LOL

Sounds like we have a pretty good group going already. Kor, let me know when you'd like to get the group together for around or two. I like the idea that everyone is in the same tier level wise. My only fear is that as a Gunslinger most of my attacks are used from the crouch position so I may be at a slight disadvantage. We shall see.

It was sheer hilarity one night in vent when we had one huttball teammate run the wrong way and the rest of us were wondering why our opponents weren't doing anything... *giggle*

Honestly that would be me. I did when I played soccer one time as a kid. I am so bad at sports.

This could be interesting I'd be game for trying it out sometime. :-) Just let me get another level under belt so I can snag force pull. *evil laugh*
