One friendly ship down (accidentally)

[_blackram_]

Title says it all. Not that Im a bad player or teamkiller. I accidentally torped one mate (more like he was going where he shouldnt than me being uncareful) and after that Im punished with pink nickname. Thats stupid. This should be for ppl who teamkill on purpose not for us who sunk one ship by accident.

But it is.

It reminds you to be more careful.

How should the game know if it was stupid or on purpose?

 

And your torpedos are always your responsibility. If there is a chance that you might hit a team mate or hinder him in his maneuvers, you simply don't torp.

 

Don't worry too much though, the pink name has no negative side for you, unless you hurt your team again ^^ Just play a few games without doing that and it will be gone.

I got into a situation a couple of weeks ago where I was trapped amongst most of my ally team and I REALLY wanted to kill an enemy BB with my torps (the most effective weapon available at the time). I watched the allies sailing from the right and launched my torps between them, only to then notice an ally Kongo steaming in from the left. He took one torpedo (before I could warn him) and detonated instantly.

Pink status.

I could do nothing but apologise in chat and make sure I didn't do any team damage for the next nine games.

 

Do you want to know something, @_blackram_?

I blame myself for not paying close enough attention.

It was my fault we lost a BB in that moment.
It was my fault we ended up losing the game (well, we were already losing, but my torpedo didn't help).

 

My advice to you:

Suck it up, own up to your mistake and learn from it.

 

Since then I've increased my awareness tenfold whenever it comes down to launching my torpedoes.

Good luck and fair seas.

pick your T1, enter coop, leave game while the cowndown ticks down,repeat with next nations T1 and pink is gone in ca 6 minutes. Or simply dont care and just play as usall, IF its a accienden your pink will be gone soon too just more of a pain because rams of friendly do not cont as games without teamdamage....

 

And btw most people do not see kindly to "more like he was going where he shouldnt than me being uncareful" your torps your responsibility.

Last time I killed a team mate was when I yoloed and killed enemy DD with my DD and torped him. My torps sailed into my team as I didn't pay attention enough. I detonated one of our BBs. Felt bad and accepted my cute pink name. What is done cannot be undone, live with the pink name and play carrier for those cutie pink planes.

It doesn't matter. It's still your fault. Your torpedo your responsibility.

Its not that simple...he was to my left...not so close to me. I even announced torps out (from my right side) towards enemy and then he charged in front of me. I guess bad luck for both of us. No real intention there. I dont have a p problem with punishment but one ship down definitely shouldnt be the trigger for pinky....thats all. If someone does it regularly Im all for punishment, even bans if you ask me.

With that said I see too often ppl in CAs charging onto enemy DDs in the momoent when Im preparing to torp them in my DDs. They should be my support not kamiakazas. They charge in a way its impossible to do any damage to enemy wothout hitting them...

I never said I shouldnt be punished...but lets put it simple. One friendly ship killed = accident. Two or more friendly ships killed = teamkiller. Got it? BTW, AFK ppl are the worst and still, even with reports, they would rarely be punished.

Just now, _blackram_ said:

Got it?

 

No.
You kill.
You pay.
Doesn't matter if you killed one or a thousand time.

[_blackram_]

Whataver mate. Enjoy your haiku.

[Chips_n_Cheese]

I shot a friendly once, thought my shells would pass over their ship, they didn't. I never went pink. 

 

[Skiie]

Why are you getting so salty? You made a mistake and got a pink name? Just press the play button adn play normally. It's not like there is a real good punishment.

It is that simple.

If your torps can reach an ally, you torp from second line. No ship torpedo is slower than the fastest ship.

You do not torp from second line!

[_blackram_]

I know Pete. I dont. Like I said he was already in full speed and both of us didnt paid enough attention. Never mind. I will be super careful. Then again, what we gonna do with AFK ppl? Tons of them and no real punishment.

[Verblonde]

Unless WG are going to get hold of an actual honest-to-gods AI from somewhere, I can't see how accidental TKs could be distinguished from deliberate ones.

Basically, pink status is *always* your fault (says he, who spent almost all of yesterday pink, after accidentally setting a bot on fire which burned to the waterline after not activating repairs - do they even get them?).

[LOZFFVII]

I love how TC is so desperate to get some agreement that he's somehow not in the wrong (or at least, he's only half to blame), he's now also trying to change the subject onto AFK players.

Seriously, dood, grow up and learn responsibility.

In the end what's this thread about? TK by irresponsible torping or AFK players?

No one is saying that the intent was there to team kill, but it's obvious that the awareness and restraint to hold your fire wasn't. It's not your team's responsibility to avoid your torpedoes and play in a way that suits you, it's yours to make sure you have no chance of hitting them when you fire.

 

You have 33 battles, people shouldn't be crucified for making mistakes at something they're inexperienced at. However, refusing to acknowledge your responsibility and a seeming reluctance to learn from it will see you turn pink again, with each one bringing harsher punishments. Do yourself and the rest of us a favour and be much more careful in the future please!

Yet they are. BTW, im not bad for a newbie. So many potato players with way more experience and nobody gives a s....

and yes AFK is more annoying than anything else and I dont see you crucified them....I guess its easier to jump on new guys. What a warm welcome. History repeats from WOT forum. BTW, I noticed devs are "balancing" things here too. Release OP premium, sell it. Nerf it after a year and everybodys happy....top tier expensive and very boring as I heard from friends who play this since beta. T7 for ranked and up to 7 for fun in random. I thank them for that info. Simmilar is in WOT.

topic closed for me.

[ColonelPete]

Nobody gives a s...?

I suggest to read more on the forums.

Make up your mind regarding the thread theme, my 2 month old daughter is more on point than you. You're in diapers and complaining, but still playing with bots. AFK players sort themselves out along the way. When you'll reach 200+ battles you'll be playing with the big boys with big guns and AFK players will be no more

AFK is annoying, but getting torped by an ally is way worse tbh, due to the fact that one ship can go out of commission (him dying). 
 
And puhlease do not play a victim card here, people gave you a straightforward answer to your original post.  
Basically: The answer you received was proportionate to way you wrote and answered in this thread.

You'll only get pink if you inflict 10k or more damage out of a million. So the accidental drive by's aren't punished immediately. And AFAIK the team damage "counter" is "wearing off over time." So if you accidentally give 9k damage now, you won't get pink if you do 1000 dmg 3 months later f.e.
