Would you people like Friendly fire rooms in casual mode. ?

(SaulWolfden) #21

No.

(Daergar) #22

No.

The quickest way to kill any game is to have friendly fire in casual competitive modes. Period, end of discussion, zilch, nada, nyet and cake.

The problem would be even further exasperated in a non-pure shooter game like DB, where it takes a mere second to picture griefers running into your own burning patch of ground, stand in front a turret, on top of a mine, hug sticky bombs and so on. No.

(BananaSlug) #23

yes, soo i can kill all these scrubs that are jumping in front of me, imagine loosing fight because some guy jumps in front of you, blocks all of your bullets and misses every shoot

sarcasm away, i would like if teammates wont block my shoots,
thats usually why i am loosing,

but to the topic, i thing that the ff 5v5, should be more available, without the 30min queue time

(B_Montiel) #24

What amazes me is the amount of straight “No”. Asking for 1 or 2 FF on servers per region right now is not that much, and this won’t ruin the fun for players who don’t want to play under those rules.

(Herr_Hanz) #25

you are missing the point. the OP is asking for FF in casual servers. he isnt asking for FF on some servers, he is asking for FF on EVERY server.

(Szakalot) #26

and we are asking ‘give us the option’

Just like you can pick a map, you should be able to tick a box ‘friendly fire & collision = on’. Let us see by popular demand who wants what.

If indeed nobody wants to queue up for FF=on, then leave it to ranked only.

Problem SOLVED.

I don’t know what games you people come from, but ALL PREVIOUS SPLASH DAMAGE TEAMFPS GAMES HAD FRIENDLY FIRE
And yes, you could run a server with it off, though hardly anyone ever did. Why? Cause the game is better that way! Its smarter, its more tactical, its more reliant on teamwork. I thought DB is a game for those dedicated teamplayers that won’t find this level of speed&skill&teamwork (not just throwing ammo packs; much of the teamwork of DB is similar to CSGO)

So you will find griefers? there are griefers already anyways. Do you think that suddenly because ff is on, all the trolls come out of the woodwork and from under the bridges?

Are griefers a big issue at the moment? No

Will griefers be a big issue on ff=on servers? No

[quote=“Szakalot;196053”]Competitive scene has used friendly fire for as long as it was possible, and somehow nobody cried that they are getting shot by teammates, even though occasional teamkill would be expected in every single game.

[/quote]

I remember, arguably the best teamkill ever, was when a Vas player sniped his medic through the head to take out another player behind to try and save a plant on Underground.

But yeah, I want some ff servers be it server browser or whatever else. Tired of people running through team-placed hazards like nothing is happening :wink:

(Cletus_VanDamme) #28

hell no, play 1 game in an aus server with 90% of the players being trolls, it wouldn’t work at all.

(bontsa) #29

In my deadhonest opinion game should’ve been matchmaking, (until community servers are a thing), FF on 5v5 only from the very beginning. Too late for that though, way too many people can’t adapt now without massive, useless drama and tears and that whine affects again lot of the ones who otherwise would not care or would take it just fine.

Hell yes for FF on some servers. That’s how the game is designed for. Sure 8v8 spamfest has its player base, but that would’ve been community server material, not necessary in official servers.

[quote=“MisterBadmin;195891”]Friendly Fire by default: GOD NO
Given the sheer number of Skyhammers who throw their airstrike just after spawn, no. I don’t want to experience the receiving end of a teamkill-Explodydendron, or even be in a game where the other team got wiped because someone fatfingered their marker.[/quote]

Actually that is already a thing for a while now. It doesnt work at spawn but it does work under other circumstances… .

Well if Friendly Fire would come into pubs well, i would kill more of my own teammates than enemies because people tend to stand in my way because they feel like not hitting the enemy. I would mercilessly kill them all and finish them to make sure they wont annoy me anytime soon.

However, it would turn many games into a huge mess and well… everything would fall into chaos where everybody just hits everybody.

(Eox) #32

I wouldn’t like forced FF. Too much risk of being trolled IMO. I wouldn’t mind however if SD created a couple of servers with FF enabled, and created a casual matchmaking option that you can activate if you want a FF enabled match.

(Szakalot) #33

this really grinds my gears : stop assuming how players would behave in ff-on servers based on their behavior in the current pubs. OBVIOUSLY, people would learn to play differently, if they were hitting their teammates.

mindless skyhammer would get autokicked via punishments, and be more careful next time, when it comes to airstrike.

that nade-happy nader would think twice before lobbing silly nades, if she loses lots of xp from teamkills, hell even a negative badge of shame

that silly proxy teammate that jumps in front of your gun would stop doing it, if everytime she does, she gets shot in the back.

we have years and years of previous splash damage fast teamfps games with lots of OHK and spam that PROVE people can handle ff-on.

im not saying its a must on all the servers. but it sure is frustrating its not on in some of them.

(Yoma) #34

“via punishments” like autokicked from the game itself after x teamkills? If not then you can pretty much dream on regarding kicking someone. Even now with the auto self kick after a minute, not a single kick so far went through because noone is capable of looking at the chat who voted it.

(BomBaKlaK) #35

Need Friendly Fire on 10+ or 20+ servers ! At least !

(BerylRdm) #36

Some people would like to play with FF on. Some people wouldn’t. Some others would like to have an opportunity to play on both. So, there’s an obvious solution for that. Add some pubs with FF on, leave the rest as they are. If servers with FF become crowded, add even more. Let people choose what they want. I just don’t get where’s the problem.

(Szakalot) #37

@Yoma try ranked. if a teammate kills you you can type /p to punish the player (if you think the teamkill was intentional, or the player should have known better). if the teamkiller accumulates certain amount of punishments (imo 3-4 is enough) they get automatically kicked off the server. if you think the teamkill was an honest accident you can instead type ‘/f’ forgive the player and all is good

@Beryl the problem is that SD dont want to give us ff-on servers, even though weve been asking for YEARS, and there is no development time required

(bgyoshi) #38

Yessss jump in front of all of your teammate’s shots and /p them every time until they get kicked.

(Szakalot) #39

yes, there are SOOOO many griefers at the moment. Dedicated assholes that want nothing else than to ruin their teammates game.

(JJMAJR) #40

Please give us FF pub servers. I played exclusively with FF on whenever I have the chance. I want that experience again.

And no, I don’t troll people.
