Can someone explain what it takes to lose the pink?

[Wombatmetal]

Okay so I sank a ship earlier from a rogue torp from my Yubari of all ships. It was in the water 30 seconds and sank a highly ranked player. I have to watch the replay to see what happened but I accept the penalty.

 

Okay, so I got the message, blah blah blah, 5 clean games to lose the pink status. Well, I have played 5 games and still have 2 to go. I have not so much as scratched the paint on a buoy. 

 

Still 2 games to go.

 

Last game, I started, had 2 games to go. With my Fujin, sank an enemy Colorado and Minekaze. 50k damage total, did not get credit. 

 

So what does it take? I am baffled

[Gothik_Knight]

It's been suggested that the counter sometimes gets stuck on 2 for a game or so.  Personally, I find it more like that you had a collision early in the match that you just forgot about later on..  but that's only because it would be more likely in my case..  at any rate, if you kept replays of those matches, you might be able to show if there's a bug..

[KamiSamurai]

I believe if you do any type of team damage during the current game that is resets the counter back to what it was before that game? Don't quote me on that but I would suggest just do your best not to ram allies, shoot allies or torp allies.

[Wombatmetal]

I have gone through all the matches, I have done no team damage, no collisions, shells, or torps

[Mizzerys_Fate]

All of your games have to do damage to enemy.

 

Also, it sometimes big out and you have to play a few extra games.

[Grevester]

What does it matter? There is no penalty to being pink except the color and more severe punishment for careless team damage.

I have done damage each game. My Fujin sunk a full hp Colorado. No credit. I'm betting on a bug

As far as I know, you have to have at least 3 games where you're not AFK and doing at least modest damage to enemies while doing no damage to teammates. Games in which you do any amount of collision damage do not count towards the three. There may be other clauses but this is what I managed to deduce so far. And yes, Co-op counts.

yeah was working off the penalty in coop, No afk, no collisions, damage every game. I had a 50k damage game which did not count

Go into your profile screen, under service record (if I'm not mistaken), it should tell you how many battles without team damage you must complete before it wears off.

[Wombatmetal]

It said 5. it took 7

[Harv72b]

It said 5. it took 7

 

You're not alone.  I had a friendly battleship reverse course and run into my Fubuki's torpedoes 8km downrange.  Dropped down to my Umikaze to work it off (I don't like being pink in meaningful tiers), and it wound up taking me 6 matches instead of 5.  No collisions, no friendly damage, all done in a DD so no accidental secondaries damage either.  There's obviously a bug in the countdown script somewhere.

[SireneRacker]

The number is just an assumption. From what I experienced during my three pinky times it seems like you need an amount of damage or something like that.

[Fodder4U]

Are you playing in COOP or Random? What I noticed in COOP it can say you need 2 matches but in reality it will take 4. Seems like COOP is twice the games to remove pink.

 

Also back when the pink was first added it was said you would have to do a certain amount of damage to enemy ships without doing friendly damage to remove the pink. If that is still the case then maybe the amount of battles it says you need to do is based off what you are averaging in damage and not a set in stone battle count. So if you are averaging less damage during those battles then it will take longer to get rid of the pink.

[Seamus_44]

 

You have to do at least 5 battles and:

1) actually take part, sit, get killed early, and that one won't count

2) Do damage to the other side, not sure what amount

3) not do any damage to friendly ships

The counter doesn't count matches still in progress.

Your 0 damage games won't be recorded until the matches complete on the server.

 

So, if you get killed out of a match, and then spam directly into another match and get killed out of that while the first is still in progress, neither match will be recorded until they are finished. Just like the rest of the after match stats.

at the end of your battle results in the Details tab at the very bottom middle in pink, you will find out how many games you need left to end your pink status.  if you cause ANY team damage via, shells, or ramming, it doesn't count that round

 

[CHBanger]

I can confirm that there does not appear to be any special extra requirements for co-op.

 

I turned pink on Monday and it took me 5 matches to remove it. Thankfully I had no team damage during the 5 and since I play aggressively, if there is a damage threshold, then must have met it in each of the games.

 

Not saying anyone else's mileage may vary, but this time it seemed to work correctly.

Seven games???? I've been pink 3 times since the change, and never had to do more than 5. You must damage your team a LOT!

na, 3 times total.  2 were back to back,  1 was an oops. the 2nd . not so much an oops ( well, the 4 citadels was an oops but not the action itself)

[BossmanSlim]

5 games with no damage, including rubbing other ships.  If you do any damage to another ship, then you get +1 more game.

Not to mention pink is pretty!

[Paulo2011]

I still think there should be a forgiveness option.

 

I was in suicide strait with my Gneisenau and battling with two other BB's last night. There was a CL just entering the straight. I had taken both BB's down to low levels of health but there was no way I could win against both. the CL fired a round of torps and our little manfight and killed both me and the BB I couldn't get.  Yeah, I died but it was the exact right thing for him to do and I messaged him saying so. We won because he wasn't afraid to take the risky shot. I wish you could message the guy you killed and ask for forgiveness and if he hit the button you would escape pink.

IIRC a game counts towards reducing the penalty only if you successfully use the weapon with which you killed a teammate. i.e. torpedoes in your case.

 

Just be thankful you've never TKd anyone with hull contact. Happened to some unfortunate SOB on reddit, he had to ram the enemy in five games to get rid of the pink status.

na, you just have to go through your designated amount of battles without causing any team damage.
