FF mines

[bjack]

Well noobs are still punishing for running into my mines. I don't like the idea of FF off for mines though. What is needed is a TK PUNISH OFF for mines. If you hit the mine, you don't get your noob thrills off punishing engineers. Of course this can be abused but so can throwing yourself in front of others' vehicles all day.

I don't understand exactly. If you play on a server where mines will still kill teammates then how was the patch supposed to change the behaviour of certain players?

Now at least you can choose to play on a server with FF on or off but I just play on servers that have punish turned off....easy solution.

Re: FF mines

Nothing to do with the patch, I'd just like to see a TK punish off feature for mines.

Re: FF mines

Almost 50% of ranked servers have punish off for all tks..I just play on those whan I'm engineer.

Re: FF mines

Well the next problem is. Which servers have FF off on mines/claymores/both? Difficult to find servers out there which have FF off on mines and clays. They don't write in-game that FF is off on clays/mines. So I guess you just have to be lucky to find a server with the FF off.

The servers I play on, which have a decent ping, have FF on on mines. I kinda looked forward to FF off on mines. And I wont find a new server :laugh:

And I have seen many new players. With the rank of private. In generally, when I tk not on purpose (accidents happens) then I get punished. And I think we'll see many getting punished the next 3-6 months. Or as long BF2 can be purchased in stores.

My headace is coming back

So I guess you could say this all comes back around to the fact that the ingame browser really sucks. :P

I was under the impression that every serevr, after being patched with the 1.2 server patch, had FF for mines OFF by default, and every server I've played on since has it set to OFF ?

Re: FF mines

Just for info because someone PM'ed me (but I deleted it!)...


All Seeing Eye is not able to filter out servers where FF for mines is on/off.


The server setting is sv.friendlyfirewithmines 0/1

Re: FF mines

It can and is.

Out of 2578 ranked servers 133 have FF set to off

It used to be a much larger amount (about 1000+ ) but the 1.2 serverside patch reset it to 1 and needs to be changed by each admin.
