lower it to 3 teamwound reports for kick

[Turboflex]

5 is too many, barely anyone even reports team wounding cuz 5 is way too much leeway and even guys who side swing reckelssly all the time rarely accumulate more than 3 on a map.

[Moncho]

it happens in siege sometimes, since you get to live many more times in a more clustered environment, so teamhits are more likely.
However, I agree with this suggestion, and maybe making it start showing up at 2. (now its at 3 iirc)

[Digglez]

3, 5 whatever, it should be be an allotted time span, not MAP based.  You should NOT be given a clean slate due to being saved by the bell and having the map change.  Just like Planetside's anti-team wounding system, your warnings start to subside over time.

[Diomedes]

All good ideas.

[San]

Maybe teamwounds on the same person can cost twice as much after the first time? That way, intentional TKing will be harder if the other person wishes to report them, while keeping the 5 mistakes for other players. It will also make reckless swingers wary about hitting their teammates again.

I agree sometimes its hard to get rid of a team wounder but pay in mind that almost 50% of the people you team wound will report you even if it was an accident and there have been times where this has happened to me twice a map when someone walked into a swing or i accidently glanced off of someone and still did damage and they reported me. I think that 5 times is a good ratio as if there is a clear team killer/wounder then the whole server/ the team he is on will be able to report him to an admin rather then reduce it to 3 which would make it easier for people who accidently teamwounded to be kicked.

...pay in mind that almost 50% of the people you team wound will report you even if it was an accident...

Oddly enough, EU seems to hit that "m" button far less in my experience.

The thing is, some times I don't think one should hit M when getting teamwounded. It depends a lot on the situation. For instance when two people hit a guy, the guy dies from one of the hits and the other hit goes into the teammate. Often people hit M for that too. Also in sieges one can't really blame people for teamwounding a bit, since one either has to rush the flag or it's a super tight area. Basically I just hit M when someone teamwounds me in battle and when it's a really unnecessary team wound, like team bump when I'm in a 1v1 with an other infantry, or the same with ranged team hit.

Anyway, the thing is if you're a bit unlucky you can do some team wounds that people really shouldn't hit M on, but some people always hit M no matter what the situation, and then 3 perhaps is a bit too little.

One thing they could add to make less team wounding, is that the one hitting a teammate gets a message too, saying something like "Opps, you hit a teammate! Be careful." Because some times it can be hard to know.

well i dont think 3 is a good idea. 5 is quite fine at the moment and most time there are some admins on that "should" watch the intentional teamhitters/ teamkillers. I got a weapn with 125 range so it sometimes happen that a teammates runs in my swing or i glance some mate by accident and i get reported by those retards so often that 3 would not be a good idea. there is already to much abusing

[RibaldRon]

I only ever get reported for what are obviously accidents - people jumping in front of my spear (as I'm pointing it at a horse) hitting  people as my weapon extends through a dead guy (usually reported by people who show up and just took the kill from me) I obviously never PURPOSEFULLY team wound but ones that "maybe kinda" weren't obviously accidents, I never get reported for.

It's kind of an ego thing, I think.  Oh of course that guy PURPOSEFULLY team wounded me, because there's no way *I* would ever do anything stupid!


Maybe we're all conditioned to think like that due to insurance.



Edit to contribute: Yeah, only stupid, new, purposeful team wounders are ever kicked.  Skilled old  team wounders (and there are a lot!) often will just go on a rampage and will be able to kill 3-4 people at spawn and not get 5 warns.

[Turboflex]

I report people for most "accidents", people need to be more mindful of their attacks with teamates around, bottom line. If you hit a teammate I guarantee 90% of time it could have been avoided if you were more cautious, so maybe getting kicked a few times and people will start to get the message to think before they swing. Just back the fuck off it's a 2v1 and you don't have a good angle.

The only time I don't report is when 2 people swing at a guy and one of the shots kills him so the other swings thru and I get teamhit, that's pretty much the only excusable "accident".

[_Tak_]

No just no, too much people abuse the team wounding system, they are retards, they don't even know what "Intentional" team wounding means." If this happen then many players will get kick

[Wookimonsta]

as a cav, i am really against this.
even when I am careful and go around people, sometimes they still suddenly go in the wrong direction and exactly under my horse.

Learn to jump.

We both know you're doing it on purpose
