Punish Disabled = Great Time!

[Multiplex]

I was on a RANKED server about three nights ago that the admin disabled TK punishment entirely. You still suffered a -2 when you TK'd,] and the server still counted TK's (for kick/bans), but there was no option to punish people for that -4 to your score.

I had a blast, I played through two entire map rotations and I actually tried things (such as dropping mines and claymores) without fear of having my TK penalty doubled by an asshat who didn't even realize it was his/her fault that the TK took place to begin with.

I would like to suggest that you here at WiH look into taking away TK punishment as well. As long as kick/bans still occur... it's a much better playing environment with players being nicer to each other overall.

As far as I know disabling TK punish didn't affect the servers ranked status in any way.

No I should still be able to punish when I get shot by my own team on the way to pilot a helo just becasue some 1 year old is trying to earn his HELO ribbon. Thats the only time I "ever" punish... don't take that away from me..

:wallbash:

Um... okay. So, you want all the other headaches from punishing... all of which negatively impact you (and more than make up for your deaths from newbie helo pilots) so you can punish a newb in a chopper.

okay... punishing does nothing to your score. you get -2 for team damage and -3 for a teamkill. Altogether it gives you -5.

If that is the case then why is punishing in the game? If it has no effect on your score then it is meaningless text on the offender's screen.

[Mr. Saigon]

if enough people punish, you are autobanned for 20 mins

We're going to leave the tkpunish the way it is now on our server.

Well if that's all it does... then nevermind. Hopefully they fix the system...

Is there anyway to reduce it to -2 pts? One thing I hate, when flying the BH if a jet pilot suicides into me, randomly once in a while (I have no clue how BF2 determines it, but its broken) it will count as me tking everyone in the BH. Often when it does that too it doesn't give the user the option, so I get -20 pts because some jet suicided into me.

Unfortunately there is no way to control this.

I for one cant stand the TK system. Its almost driven me to the point of just saying to hell with BF2 and wait nine months for POE. I played commander today with 25 arty kills and a few teamkills, like 4. Final score? 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep overall commander score of 12. Thats just bullshit. Along with EA's insane amount of points needed to level and get awards its just freakin crazy.

Kills mean nothing as commander. Im pretty sure each TK as commander is -6 points though. I rarely use the arty when I go commander. The only times I use it is when there are two or more people somewhere that my team can not get to before the arty is done.
