What’s more likely ?
a) you get several teamkills because several teammates are stupid enough to run into the airstrike,
b) you are the stupid player who calls an airstrike where several teammates will go or can’t see the marker ?

And even if they’re actually stupid and you are not, they are right and you are wrong. Because democracy works that way.

That’s a very simplistic view on democracy but I’m not going to discuss this.

I remember a game on goldrush where I played field ops on a teamkill ON server. We were stuck at the first barrier, because their defenses were pretty good. Most of our team didn’t make it to the barrier or tried to suicide to plant. I decided to throw an airstrike just behind the barrier, because there were only enemies there at that time. I even called it in chat. Anyways, I got 4 enemy kills and still 3 friendlies who respawned and just tried to suicide to plant the dynamite. Is it my fault then for calling in an airstrike to clear out an area BEFORE running in?

Nope, but pretty typical example for a pub server. I don’t understand why all these people want FF on by default. For competition or more higher skilled servers (like etpro servers in W:ET) sure, but on every pub server
 No thanks.

I, as a casual player, prefer it on by default, or we will end up with players spamming artillery all over the place, no skill needed, no sense at all in the whole game.

I doubt it. There will be the same amount of spam with FF on, difference is it will kill teammates and they’ll get kicked. Since games want to appeal to as many as possible I don’t think FF will be on by default.

Also the fact that you are actively posting on a forum about a game that isn’t even in beta yet proves you’re not as casual as you think :slight_smile:

Well, I had a net café from 2001 to 2004 and we used to have our own ET dedicated server which I had to manage, and also bought ETQW the day it was released and played it competitively for a while. But now I am just curious about DB, as I am a SD fan :slight_smile:

Correct, still recall the air strikes, panzers and flamers spamming on mp_destruction with no FF - ah heady days. I think it should be easily settable but on by default.

(Nemesis_TX) #49

FF on. complaint pop ups if team damage exceeds 50%. kicked if complaints exceed 3

(Dope) #50

Kick automaticly from server for 3 tks!!!

(Dysfunkshion) #51

Throw airstrike, have 3 friendles oblivious to the world run in. You’re kicked.

I like Nemesis_TX’s solution more. Teamdamage exceeding a certain amount, pop up complaint and kick after X complaints received.

(Psygnosis.) #52

Getting kicked with 3 TK i think it’s not the solution


Why? Because there are LOTS and LOTS of noobish “players” that goes right into ur firing spot, ie : you are shooting at one guy and magically appears a wild noob that will go and stand in front of you trying to steal the kill (since they care about that and not give a damn for the objectives), then you obviously - not intentionally - teamkill him


This happens TOO MANY times and you get Kicked out for the noobs faults


So i agree with Nemesis_TX ! Pop up complaint, vote, job done !
