"TK'er Hunting" Helping your team by hunting them


(Moriarty) #1

One of the worst (the worst being cheats) plagues to online First Person Shooters is Team killing or injuring. Griefing":angry: as some call it is a scourge of the teamwork minded player:banghead:. I do believe I heard one of the devs actually say that there may be side missions for the hunting of Team killers and other non-positive-team-oriented-players. Now what exactly does this mean to all the future participants (and purchesers) of Enemyterritory:Quake Wars? Possibly its a big warning to those unfamiliar with fair and fun gameplay. Then again it could mean a boon to those ready to gain ranking by hunting that player-type of the former mention :clap: . I personally would love to hear the Devs sound off on how and when this system may work. :drink:

Uh, I donā€™t think that is what the side missions are for.

occasionally in Wolf, when teamkillers/cheaters are unable to be kicked or banned, I must admit I get a great deal of fun out of fucking with them. My justification for this is that the game has been ruined anyway, so while carrying out a vendetta against said TKer/cheater isnā€™t going to really help matters, it doesnā€™t make it any worse either.

Yep, those servers that have kickvotes disabled and no admins = aimbotter honey.
Had one today in factā€¦we all just tkā€™d the guy, you know, spoil it for him as he spoils it for others. I ended getting kicked as too many complaints from him, but I was coming off anyway, at least I spoiled his ā€˜funā€™.

um you are not a dev so answering a question about Quake Wars (the yet un-released game) is probabaly coming out of your opinion, or rear-end, or both.

We have no plans to encourage organised ā€˜revenge teamkillingā€™ via the solo assignments system, sorry.

you donā€™t need to be a dev to realize no one is stupid enough to have side missions for tkers as solo assignments, and of course the easiest way to frustrate tkers is turn FF off


(Lanz) #8

And everyone else to since FF off is just wrong. :smiley:


(SCDS_reyalP) #9

If you can identify TKers/griefers, surely the thing to do is kick/ban them, not assign a player to tk them :???:


(Svanire) #10

That would be hilarious

Personal Assignment System

ā€œOk Good job youā€™ve destroyed the shield baseā€¦ Now there has been reports of a smacktard team killer your mission is to follow the big red dot on the mini map then eliminate the targetā€


(Moriarty) #11

finnaly some one that sees my pointā€¦ this is actually a case of reality being stranger than fiction. In the ā€œrealā€ life armed forces those that defy orders and team goals are ussually (severely) punished, and if the offence is intentional friendly fire then a swift ejudication is ussually the punishment (i.e. being fragged). Just a thought though.

The point is though it isnā€™t feasible. It doesnā€™t help your team win. More conventional ways of removing TKERs are more effective.

In QW i think there should be strict guidelines. You swear warned, kicked then banned. Iā€™m not going to lie when i play games i swear and mouth off a ton. When i play CS and go to a server that says no swearing i refrain from doing anything that would get me kicked/banned. If the people who have server on QW when it comes out do this i think it will create such a nice environment to play in. When thereā€™s no rules on a server i piss everyone off and usually get kicked and banned. As for tkā€™ers you know when there jsut trying to piss everyone off. Just kick them and itā€™s done.


(Bravo) #14

Its not always the TKers that are smacktardsā€¦quite often you find its the numpus running into mines time and again (sometimes bad mine placement is also the problem).

TKā€™s happen to everyone, people run into your line of fire and catch a lone stray bullet, and it can be the bullet that kills them.

Check your compass before you fling grenades/airstrikes etc into an area you havent seen.

And sometimes I am the biggest TKer and that is usually when I am playing medicā€¦


(ouroboro) #15

You may be onto something there! Assassination mode! :banana:


(Nail) #16

I forsee alot of name change scripts :lol:


(B0rsuk) #17

You may want to remove words assembly, compass, assume, assign, embarassed, mass, pass, and a few others from your vocabulary. Do it for your own good. And thatā€™s just english. People can speak other languages, you know, and in these such words may be polite and ordinary.

The point is though it isnā€™t feasible. It doesnā€™t help your team win. More conventional ways of removing TKERs are more effective.

Not to mention little details like ā€˜it would cause a deadlockā€™. Solo assignment to kill a teamkiller, then someone gets assgined to teamkill you.

I really hope the topic starter didnā€™t try to be funny.


(Mpiftekaki) #18

Hmmā€¦ now that Nail mentioned it (name changing scripts)

I was playing on a server some time ago in which there was a cheater -aimbot, wallhacks, you name it- that needed kicking. Since he was running the name changing script however, kicking him via the vote kick menu was impossible. The end result was everyone leaving the server. Does anyone know how such a player may be removed, especially when no server operators are in? :twak:


(Black_Forky) #19

use their player id

edit: and the console
