TK punish or not punish

[Taggern]

I try to restrain myself when it comes to punishing.
For instance, I don't punish when I step on a claymore/run over a mine/run in front of a vehicle. Those are accidents, and every now and then, I excel in stupidity.

But I wonder, are there any penalties for an unpunished teamkill? Usually, my own engies tend to get quite mad at me when I by mistake crash into their mines, even though I never punish them for it. (Vice versa, most team mates seem to punish me automatically when they get to close to my carefully placed claymores).

Yeah it's -6 points no matter what, so that's why the engies are always getting cut. I would like to see an unpunished tk go for -2, or maybe nothing at all.

EDIT: -4 whoops :p

It's -4 no matter, not -6.

Re: TK punish or not punish

So what does the non-punish do?

Re: TK punish or not punish

If you get too many punishes racked up against you, you get auto-kicked from the server.

it just gives u a nice -2 to your score.

Re: TK punish or not punish

In that case, DICE should definitely revise the punishing system to something like Coheed*47 proposes.

Re: TK punish or not punish

I'd say Artillery shouldn't be punishable as shouldn't mines nor claymores, if they have been there for over 5 seconds.

Re: TK punish or not punish

Yeah, I don't think that Arty tk's should be punishable, like for those situations where a friendly blackhawk/jeep/APC trundles in taking no notice. With mines and claymores, I'm still not totally sure though.

Re: TK punish or not punish

In the old days, when I failed to distinguish the blue dots from the red dots, I artied one of my own bases, killing at least four teammates. That should be punishable, I think. Anyway, I was embarassed enough to leave the server.

Re: TK punish or not punish

I don't make any rules on the punish/not punish. I judge each case seperatly. Obvioulsy if it is my fault (claymore, mine) i don't punish. Unless it is something stupid like mining the only exit from a spawn, or laying mines under tanks etc at your spawn.

If someone TKs me accidently (e.g. shoots me in a massive fire-fight) I think that is acceptable friendly fire. If they do it twice in a row, i will punish them.

Couple of weeks ago I watched an APC with 4 people in it try to take on a tank. The tank seemed to think it was a 4x4 and was climbing a mountain. I used the mounted AT rocket and fired at the tank, I nudged the rocket to the left a little, just as the APC lurched forward into my rocket. WOOHOO!!!!! 4 TK at the same time. I was kicked

What I don't understand is medics that shoot me when I have 2 HP for example and then revive me, as surely that is hurting them? I know that was a valid tactic back in the Enemey Terratory days as a good medic's revive would heal someone in 1 hit, rather then usiing a couple of medpacs.

Re: TK punish or not punish

We have the punish feature turned off on our server, so that every TK goes "unpunished." You really don't need the punish system when you have good admins monitoring the server. If someone's TKing on purpose... kick.

Re: TK punish or not punish

We instituted a rule on our server that if the TK punish feature is overused for accidental TK's....then the abuser will get kicked. We as a clan are getting sick of the TK punish idiots.

Re: TK punish or not punish

I forgive almost 90% of the time, it has to be something fairly intentional b4 I'll punish..

I hate being punished, therefore I don't go around doing the same....

Re: TK punish or not punish

there is a huge discussion on this in the polls section. go there.

btw, i only punish the obvious retards who do it for kicks or people who get mad when you beat them to a vehicle they wanted and then shoot you up. i then go after them with a vengeance.
