Myth Busting - TK Punish

[IRONxMortlock]

It is commonly believed that you lose an extra 2 points if someone punishes your TK.

After a little experimenting with a friend on our server however, I noticed that this isn't the case.

I firstly knifed him after which I lost 4 points. After he respawned I knifed him again and asked him to punish me. I was surprised to learn that I lost 4 points with the punish rather than the expected 6.

I'll soon be experimenting with how punishing effects the TK autokick.

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

the punish is only to vote you off the server. 3 people who say yes to punish you and you are automatically kicked. It's always been 4 points per tk

It has been said before, but I say it again:

If someone in his right mind forgives a TK, why take points away from the TK'er? Accidents do happen and there are increasing amount of players that understand it.

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

Thats strange, if i TK then im punished with -5? Its always been that. - 2 for non-punish, and if i am punished, its -5..

I believe the amount of TKs required is set by the admin. Our server is set to 7 as there are usually admins present to take care of real TKers. As I said, I will be testing this soon.

Try it out again, I'm certain of the results I acheived. Be sure you don't cause any team damage or vehicle damage before the TK.

Because, accident or not, you still killed a teammate and deserve to lose points. My only exceptions to this are when they run over mines that have been left there for a while or if they stand in front of your vehicle. The former would be easy to determine, the latter would be very difficult if not impossible.

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

the most you can get for teamkilling one person is -6. if hes in a jeep and u bomb him with the f15 and it doesnt explode straight away, its -2 for team vehicle damage then he dies seconds later and its -4 for teamkill

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

The most you can lose for a TK is 8. 4 + 4. That's the way it's always been.

If you get enough punishes, you're kicked. If you're on a server where punishing is disabled, you cannot be kicked (unless by an admin).

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

Yes it's -4 for the TK itself no matter what the victim does. However sometimes you can inflict team vehicle damage or team damage and get an additional -2. Many people who say that Tks subtract 4 if they punish probably just got team vehicle or team infantry damage as well which can happen even if the shot/bomb/shell is a 1 hit kill.

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

The people who say that it subtracts another 4 if you're punished are correct.

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

If you get points taken from you for friendly vehical damage why the hell do you not get points for enemy vehical damage. sorry tangent rant. But many a time playing as AT I put two rockets in to a tank and someone puts a third into it and they get the kill and I get nothing. grrr.

Re: Myth Busting - TK Punish

You'd get a kill assist if you did enough damage. I believe over half is the requirement.
