Always report ranged shooting into a melee fight
report should prevent people from doing intentional team hits, and we all agree that more or less it succeed in this; but does this report really prevent people from team hits? what i'm trying to say is does it really prevent people from playing in their aggressive way, shooting randomly into the fight, etc? maybe 5 reports is too much to get kicked, maybe the limit should be 3 i dunno but anyway i believe this system as it is now doesn't work properly. it's really frustrating (i know it may seem childish but it makes a difference believe me) when you get shot by someone that doesn't even say sorry, doesn't care because he's sure he won't get kicked for teamhitting a couple of times, while i'm sure i'll die if i get stun for 3 sec by a friendly arrow (same goes for melee ofc).
my solution as far as i know isn't well seen by most of people (i'd put reflex damage) so i'd like you guys to let me know if you agree or not or you have other options or whatever
exactly why team hit reporting should be "Press Ctrl+M To Forgive" rather than "Pess Ctrl+M to Report", as it is now.
Anyone making 5+ unforgiven teamhits in a --30 minute-- period, (aka max of 7 lives), really needs to be kicked from the server a few times, so that they can learn what is basically just manners ... stop hitting their team mates in the back because they don't know how to control their attacks.
I have a feeling that once these kill-hungry team-hitters have been kicked for what is basically just their lack of consideration, a few times, then they will make an active attempt to reduce their team-hits.
Also, I would imagine that people who team-hit would be more inclined to say "sorry" if the person they team-hit had the power to forgive them rather than to report them.

It is made to report intentional temhits, is it not?
Grow a pair. Unintentional teamhits happen and this feature is in the game for intentional teamhits when there are no admins around, so people still can get kicked.
If you report unintentional teamhits you're just being an arrogant douchebag.
That's the problem, some people are so careless that they teamwound "unintentionally" way too often, I don't think anyone is an "arrogant douchebag" if they report someone who wounds multiple team mates every round and doesn't even have the decency to say sorry. Everyone does unintentional team hits but most apologise and there is a line where "too much" becomes detrimental to everyone else gameplay, why should my or anyone else gameplay suffer because we have a team mate that does as much damage to his own team than the enemy, even if it is "unintentional" and down to his own carelessness.

So what's that reporting gonna do to people who carelessly swing around the weapons not caring about who is next to them? Has anyone ever changed their playstyle because he got kicked for it a couple of times? I can't think of any. At least the known teamhitters on eu siege haven't changed a bit. I'm not going to name anybody here, but right now i can think of at least 10 people constantly teamhitting me or my team who could've been kicked a dozen times for teamhitting if everybody was a douche and reported them (Yet, most of them do have their hero-moments saving the team, even if they teamhitted somebody a couple of times during the round). Heck, most of the teamhits you can't even recognize because either somebody was butthugging you from behind, just staying at the final millisecond of your swing animation, jumping right into your shot way behind the guy you were actually aiming at or suddenly appearing out of a corner and whatnot.
Usually everyone apologizes if he/she recognizes the teamhit. And for gods sake, give them some time to apologize before you hit strg+m right away.
Some idiots even get killed in the middle of the fight while instareporting someone and they didn't find the buttons right away.
Why is any of these reason for not having the report? I know I'd rather be able to report people and have them kicked if they can't learn to stop mindlessly swinging, rather than not having the ability to do so. Of course it would be great if there were a better way to punish people who constantly hit their team mates when admins aren't around but I'm afraid no one has really come up with anything. So until someone does then I assume the report function is here to stay, even with its negatives.
Where did i say that i want the report function removed?!
Of course it should stay in, people should just stop being dicks to each other and report unintentional teamhits, that's basically all i wanted to say with those posts. For reporting intentional teamhits this feature turned out to work really well.

Get over it.
Just wanted to bring this up again - AWESOME idea, would +2 if I could. :rolleyes:
DONT do "Ctrl+M to report", only allow "Ctrl+M to forgive a team hit". IMO - this would be bloody good working stuff.
P.S. Even though I would probably get kicked way too often being a lame ass 2h anti-hero... :oops:

I think that's true. Still, some of us don't have builds that can survive 5 hits. Some strength builds can kill me with one overhead attack.
<blabberish>
Also about ranged not saying sorry. Most of the time the reason is simple, they didn't know that they shot a teamm8.

PS. I'm curious if Kapikulu are biggest TKillers or we are biased bastards :lol:
Adding extra work to the player (forcing them to hit ctrl + m during clusterfucks to respect accidental teamwounds) is horrible game design and the opposite of fun for the majority of the playerbase, just putting common sense out there fellers
