Talladega_Night Beta Tester, Players 497 posts 5,412 battles Report post #2 Posted January 4, 2016 people with pink names are teamkillers, and are penalized for doing team dmg while having the pink name. Tho them having a pink name, does not gove anyone permmison to TK them, as it will turn them pink too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talladega_Night Beta Tester, Players 497 posts 5,412 battles Report post #6 Posted January 4, 2016 it take 2 or 3 team kills in a short period of time to get labeled a teamkiller, once that happens your name turns pink, and any team damage you do to team members is also reflected onto you. and if you keep insisting on teamkilling, it will lead to a ban. as for how long the pink stays, i do not know. I know you have to keep a clean record in order to get rid of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second: how mutch time one keeps the pink name? 1. By shooting at your own teams ships. 2. Not sure, but it will be there for a few days. Maybe a week or so.

Have seen pink ships play well and be team players. Were they working off the pink tag to be TKers again or to clear their name? I dont know but just watch them, its not WoT where you can slaughter tkers with impunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know but just watch them, its not WoT where you can slaughter tkers with impunity. As I've understod it, you need to do several TKs and/or a good amount of damage to get pink. So this means you either TK deliberate, or you are totally blind and useless to handle your ships and guns.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[POMF] Pekoe_Darjeeling Weekend Tester 2,385 posts 10,008 battles Report post #10 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) The other way to get pink is when you fire back at someone(team killer mostly) who is having fun shooting at you.

Last week, While in my myogi a russian dd captain (derksi?) in the space of 5 minutes rammed me 3 times and launched a full spread of torps aimed through my BB at ships i was engaging ... 8-10km away. Never underestimate how creatively stupid people can be without a scrap of maliciousness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So this means you either TK deliberate, or you are totally blind and useless to handle your ships and guns.. I saw someone turn pink in mid-battle for the first time yesterday though he didn't actually kill anyone in the battle so I think it can relate to damage and/or intent perhaps as much as actually sinking friendlies (unless he'd already TK'd in previous battles).

mtm78 Alpha Tester 19,378 posts 6,105 battles Report post #14 Posted January 4, 2016 There are damage thresholds, it's about ratio team damage vs damage to enemy team. This causes people to 'suddenly' turn pink without killing someone, they just passed the threshold for 'allowed' team damage. The same applies in reverse: if you're pink just keep doing damage to the enemy team and not your own, the pink goes away when you reach a threshold ( and not with time, if you're pink and you don't play for a month you will still be pink when you log back in ). The other way to get pink is when you fire back at someone(team killer mostly) who is having fun shooting at you. That way you are not team killer but you will get pink too. The system can not track this, if you pass the threshold yourself you will turn pink doesn't matter who you're shooting at and why ( just something to keep in mind ).

bikes02 Beta Tester 152 posts 2,302 battles Report post #16 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) quoted post removed due to forum rule breaches Wrong attitude tbh. That's the mentality of WoT players. How do you know the pink player didn't just have some bad luck when firing tops and a friendly ship ran across their path? And as for your last sentence, I hope you turn pink pretty soon as you seem just as bad as an intentionally team killer.

So this means you either TK deliberate, or you are totally blind and useless to handle your ships and guns.. I got pink for firing 2 Fuso salvos (did 10k dmg all together) to a guy (Omaha) who did 20-30k damage to me and eventually killed me. I turned pink and he didn't, even though he had an another teamkill before teamkilling me. So you are wrong. No one besides WG knows what it takes to become pink.

I turned pink and he didn't, eve though he had an ankther teamkill before teamkilling me. So you are wrong. No one besides WG knows what it takes to become pink. Damage over time thresholds, nothing more. How large those thresholds are and in relation with what they scale is not disclosed for very good reason ( I don't know them either, I got some hunches though ). If you know the math you can abuse the system, so better we don't know the exact math. That does not mean we should feel happy if those thresholds seem unfair, just report those incidents. If enough people get into those situations and they are validated I am quite sure that if possible WG will continue to tweak the system as much as possible.

I know it wasn't just bad luck because I have also accidentally killed team-members with the ocasional noob-torpedo (and been killed in the same way) and never has that caused the "killer" to go pink. On the other side, the first times I saw pink players and didn't kill them, they proceeded to kill a friendly within the first seconds of play. Stuff like this.

[edited] [edited] No, it does not fall on 'us players', WG wants you to not shoot allies and that even includes pink players. Go back to WoT if you want to shoot at blue's, there is a reason people turn pink here and not the same color. I understand it is not easy and I won't judge someone who 'defends himself' as long as he's able to accept the possible consequences. Which are the same as for any team damage, doesn't matter if the guy you're shooting at is pink or not. Up If you're pink your name in the team panel is pink ( enable team panels in options ), as well as on the summary screen ( TAB ) while in battle. And yes, if you're pink in one ship you're pink in all ships, it's not the ships fault you became pink so why would the color of shame be limited to that particular ship letting you play normally with other ships?

It is an unfortunate reality, however, that blues and pinks exist, and they're a danger to everyone in their own team. Some people might be peaceful enough to let these grieffers and trolls hurt them and their team-mates, and that's legitimate, I guess. Just don't expect all of us to be so meek, when the game offers us a simple, effective way to remove them from the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
