Teamkilling Penalty: Horribly designed

Okay, WG you did it again. Can you finally consider firing your designers?

 

This is what happened: Some idiot Friedrich shoved my Chapayev out of smoke/behind islands with his BB the whole time. Of course since ramming does no damage he got no penalty for that, but I got revealed broadside. Then he kept going infront of me and I hit him once. A fire happened and that fire killed myself because after just 2 ticks apparently I got a teamkilling penalty despite me having NEVER been pink before in over 3000 games.

 

So I died and he happily repaired his tiny bit of fire damage.

 

I'll ask the support to ban this PoS BB idiot.

 

I understand that you die if you keep damaging your teammates, but fire? Really? I can't stop the fire on his ship. So 1 HE shell is possibly enough to get yourself pink AND killed from full health in a freaking normal game where you accidentally hit someone with not even one gun.

What should be done is implement a system which detects who rams who (who is driving towards the teammate and who is driving away) and then punish people for continuously doing ramming damage

They should implement a system which avoids creating new topics in the forum immediately after

* being flagged as teamkiller

* being sunk by teammate

* being burn to death by HE-rain

* being sunk by OP carrier please nerffffffffff!!!!!!!!111111111

You are not to speak about this subject for it is blasphemy but to accept it's working perfectly. This will probably the kind of answers you'll get OP. So I thought: I'd spare the "holier than Thaugh" people the effort.

 

IMO the system is sick as hell. In the past being pink meant you really, like really screwed up. Nowadays it means nothing at all. The system has completely overshot it's purpose: getting rid of those extremely rare trolls seeking to ruin everybody's game. 1 slight kistake and you're pink. Nobody's given a rat's *ss anymore. Just serve out your 5 games and don't give it a second of thought anymore.

Super constructive. I point out a valid flaw in their system.

Funny.

I thought ramming does damage.

And I have touched many friendly ships in improper ways either with my ship or some (although rare) occasions with my ammo.

 

Still I have never been pink.

 

So perhaps try not to do team damage so much and so often?

You apparently aren't capable of reading. I was NEVER pink in 3000 games. It was the first time and only because the BB idiot let the fire burn and I died because of it. I didn't even deal real damage to him, it was just an unlucky HE shell that set a fire.

 

But yeah, keeping giving standard answers to topics you didn't even read.

Imagine DDs sailing broadside into the path of your BB and hitting the brakes...

It's a game, Jesus

Braindead BBs will we braindead BBs

And nobody cares about your pink Name...

You didn't get it. I don't care about pink. I care about dying. I died from the team-killing penalty because the BB didn't know he can repair fires (a freaking T9...) or alternatively he did it on purpose which is abusing the system to purposefully teamkill. Either way, it's relevant.

I totally understand your point.

 

It should be able to detect and differentiate who drove into who.

 

Also find that friendly damage HE shots always burn and a torp that hits a friendly BB will always flood.

You know whats even more broken?

Someone can shoot you for X number of times, without even going pink.

Few days ago I had my DD teammate using his guns to drop me to ~1k hp (low tier DDs) without turning pink.

So lets say it was high tier battle. You will not get compensated for damage he caused to you because of new epic economy system. He will not get pink because he didn't kill you. Someone will (2 min after that) finish you off because you have sliver of hp left. You will loose 200k creds, he will happily sail away as nothing ever happened.

System is rotten to the bone, and WG is doing nothing to prevent it.

If anything, they should make it so that first instance of damage is not punished (if you accidently shoot someone with 1 shell, damn it, happens from time to time when you cuddle in smoke), but every next consecutive hit on the same target will reflect the damage. You want to shoot your allies? Fine, you will deal damage to yourself, and you will loose creds / xp / whatever. Why should I PAY for YOU TK ME?

same has happened to me but I was in a dd and you will just get trolled by the bb player who thinks all smoke dropped is for them and you will also get trolled by your team for having a -1 next to your name

all you will get back from support is the tk system is working fine so accept your penalty and learn not to team kill anymore

I have now been pink 3 times and tbh I don't care that much anymore because it does nothing to you unless you damage your own team again and that's not very likely

Is it possible that shooting a divisionmate doesn't get you pink? Or was he a random teammate

Is it so hard to just move away from such idiot? Or just let him do his thing and then opening a ticket to cutomer suport and reporting him with a replay?  If you do damage to someone as clearly trolling you you can only blame yourself because there is no need to change the TK system even when I agree thats totally worthless in such a case as yours.

Your suggestion can be abused. The BB would get punished and the DD would go free and could do this again and again.

Yeah, we don't need to change a system that doesn't punish TKs in any reasonable way except making their name pink. Right.

 

Anyway, didn't the last thread about this get closed because it is forbidden to discuss the TK system on the forum?

*implying there is a way to 100% remove bad people*, well as far as I know you can't, but it would reduce the number, + some wouldn't even figure it out

im currently pink and for a reason, whenever i see a fraker in a dd not going into caps or a bb caming BEHIND our cv i tk them, no questions asked! But the dumb thing is after you turn pink if someone ramms you and doesnt turn (keeps peeling you) you eventualy die of "TK dmg"

Bad people always figure out loopholes. Some might take longer, but there would be people complaining about it on the forum --> Loophole is public knowledge.

I don't care about being pink, if some dumb mouthbreather pushes my minotaur out of the smoke, I'm giving him 8 torps before I get instapopped by enemy BB. If anything I should get a medal for enduring the pinkness for next 5 games in order to teach the BBaby how to play this game.
