TK suggestion...

[sbcptnitro]

Just as a disclaimer, I'm more than willing to serve out a TK penance as much as anyone. It's my fault, and I deserve the punishment.

 

However, there may be times like I just had where I did very little damage (DM crossed by while I was shooting guns) and still get stuck with a fairly hefty TK penalty.

 

I propose the ability to allow the victim to wave the TK penalty.

I apologized, and he was cool about it, so why can't there be a mechanism in place where the TK victim exonerates the aggressor?

 

Just a thought.

I think they should add an icon (similar to the one that suggests that your shot will hit an island) for allied ships. I've certainly done that, especially in ships like Graf Spee when the arcs are low.

I've done that before. So near death myself and frantically tunnel-visioned on my target that I didn't notice the cruiser right next to me in even worse condition. Next salvo went right through his superstructure.

I think we will probably serve penance many, many more times before the devs put a fix for that...

[TangledThorns]

Forgiveness please! I think that was a feature in Counter-Strike or Battlefield 3 IIRC.

Wow.... Turned pink for 500 damage?!?!?!?

 

That is not a bad Idea though. Allow the victim to wave your penalty. Every once and a while you will get the [edited] that sticks you with it. But it will do a better job of sorting the actual accidents from intentional TK's.

I made this suggestion before. The response was not as positive as I expected.

I'd definitely agree with you, I suspect we've all had this happen.  I've been pink a total of twice, once was my fault legitimately, was right after I got my first V-25 and I was having too much fun with the torps.  Let go a spread, and didn't see the other DD crossing out from behind the island.  The second time was just plain stupid, I didn't even shoot.  Playing Terpitz, and an allied DD dropped a smoke screen for me as he passed, for which I was VERY grateful.  Unfortunately, my secondaries were blasting at various enemies... and he took an *AI-fired* shell that set him on fire.  He'd used his damage control earlier... and burned to the waterline.  I was a bit pissed about THAT pink, no joke!

and what happens if the "victim" doesn't agree to "waive" the TK...  massive whining and threats on the forum against the "idiot" who didn't forgive me for nothing more than a few hundred damage????  Maybe if a clan member was the TK'er.. a future of plays badly reports for the "innocent" victim???  

Whilst I don't disagree with you, I think the standard of forum posts and player actions that I see in postings here and in game make the suggestion rife with danger for the future.

Nope..  I think were in a good place right now.  PS  surprised you got 7 games,  have you been Pink recently as well before this?

Team damage is tracked over time and over matches. If you consistently damage teammates, then yes a mere 500 can turn you pink. If the 500 sinks a ship, you turn pink. 

 

Point is, tk penalties come from recent battle history over many matches, one screenshot does not tell the whole story

I thought I was cynical...

 

When I openly admit that I am at Dr Greg House levels of cynicism and misanthropy.

This made me think of experiences in tanks, where it used to be no penalties for shooting a division mate. At the start of a match two or three tanks in a division would start the game by shooting each other up, even to the point of killing each other and there was no penalty, and the team starts down players.

 

So I have something similar get abused in WOT. So no, allowing forgiveness would only feed the trolls
