New pink/orange names seem VERY sensitive..

I recall a thread not too long ago that was talking about torpedo's having a certain range (might've been 9 km but I'm not sure), past which they won't be giving you team killer status.

This was the initial idea. But when they released the PTS patch notes people disagreed quite vocally so they reverted that one.

So while you are not hallucinating that you read it, that one didn't make it into the game.

People get AFK because the game crashes while the user is most of the time consulting his/her web browser waiting for the MM to be done. It s because of unstability of the game, not because players suddenly go to the toilets before a game start...

 

It ll bring a lot to bring that optimization to the game, unfortunately, it's not on the roadmap for right now, as it was said in WATERLINE video.

 

When does WG attempt to make those optimization ? For 1.0 update or before ?

I hit an ally with 3 ariel torps yesterday after they ran past there target (he had been inactive and was hidden but still no excuse) so rightfully got pink for 2 matches.  However. today at 13:08 there was a server disconnect and a message saying that there was a fault with the server (server temporarily unavailable), I had just sent a ship to battle.  Got a 4 match pink for this even though it was WG' server error not a deliberate withdrawal from battle early, this seems harsh as it is there fault.

'My ally sailed into my torpedo' this is probably the most incorrect statement of all time for wows. As said above, your torpedo, your responsability... Well done WG for once....

I think for this one you might want to contact support. WG won't remove the penalty (don't think they can), but they might improve the system for it.

The only thing I am left wondering is if AFK/unsportsmanlike/poor play reports do anything more now, or if this system is exclusively automated.

 

They never did anything.

In relation to this, the real annoying case is when you get pink name because of fire damage (not torp or flooding) to friendly ships:

1) Your BB were brawling and tanking, great! You, as a cruiser, fired from second line to support her, but RNG trolled you so a single stray shell landed on your team mate and lighted her up.

2) As Kutuzov, Belfast or a gunship DD, you dropped smoke so you can shoot at enemies from safety. Then a friendly ship sailed into your smoke to get cover. You didn't notice fast enough because you were zoomed in, and one of your shell just hit her at close range and caused a fire.

This is actually harder to avoid than torping a friendly, and because people tend not to waste repair on a single fire, usually results in much more severe team damage.

Had a real winner on my team just now. A "friendly" Nicholas (who's name I will be keeping to myself, ty) threw a full salvo of torps supposedly  at a enemy DoY, but instead of hitting any on the enemy ship, he hit me with three.

 

Didn't sink me, but in the time it took me to fix the situation he turned pink and died from the damage return. Justice if you ask me.

 

And of course he did go on a rant afterwards blaming everyone but himself for that snafu. As a side note, I survived the game
