SO im' playing assault on alpine peaks,

Me and a couiple other guys stop 5 lights from capping our base. we were all communicating in chat. Then their whole team starts coming for our base, i'm telling everyone to RTB and defend. I was not being rude, everyone was having fun and they call came back to defend..

Then my own teamate shows up and just starts unloading on me. I guess he was mad we were defending our base? he got my atlas down to 50% before i even started attacking back, cause I didn't realize it was him shooting me and then was just in shock, and he killed me..

[Redacted] He needs to stay in skirmish with all the other lame gamers if hes got a problem with definding base.

There should be automatic penalties for doing a certain amount of team dmg in a certain amount of time. Noone cares about 10,000 cbills for a team kill. Its not enough of a penalty.

A few guys like this could really ruin this playerbase. Just the other day i was on teamspeak and a guy was flipping out over constant friendly fire, it really turns people off from this game. The fact people can just go around and teamkill players without any repercussions is deplorable. Reporting them does not always work. Because i have reported a guy for killing me for no reason and then have seen him in the game a week later, pretending nothing happened. I have never seen this anything like this in any other video game for 20 years.

Then again, I guess thats why most games don't even have FF on anymore......the real online gaming communities nowadays are just nonexistent or lame and a thing of the past.

Reporting does work. Please do so.

I haven't seen one since the couple weeks following the last patch. SOmeome who was mad about "500dollargoldmechs" was killing everyone on his team for days. I reported him and then saw him a week later like nothing happened.

This russian was probably mad at one of my forums posts, mad i was giving directions to the team and that we were working together, mad at my bright colored paintjob, mad he never had a relationship with his father, or it could be for other reasons, who knows....

The last team killer i saw was a guy who was mad about "russbullochsbrokennpromises" maybe a couple weeks ago.This community is real small as it is dude. Maybe things like this, that happened more often in the past according to you, are partly the reason why....

With as few posts as you have... you really must have said something quite vile! In all my disagreements here I don't get TKed at all.

I can't figure out what it is! lol

I don't talk junk in game anymore at all and I don't insult anyone.The guy was mad about something. The only thing I can think of, is he was jealous we were working toether in chat, and everyone was having a fun time, and we stopped the enemy from capping.

A hater, plain and simple.

i was in that drop... i thought they were QQing because i'm running my #playskirmish cap light warrior lance

didn't see the TK though... just saw the chat aftermath...

[Itsalrightwithme]

Could you be stuck in ELO hell? Also, what time of the day do you play?

Either that, or you have struck your teammates with FF by mistake. It can easily happen in a big mech if you're careless since your mech is large and therefore weapons hardpoints are spread around quite a bit. In particular, Atlas arms are a ways down from where the cockpit is.

TK is a reality in this game, and there are occasional trolls like the one you mentioned, but in all my recollection I see one TK every 30-40 matches.

[MeiSooHaityu]

I have seen it happen from time to time, but overall TKing seems pretty rare. It is actually suprisingly rare considering the anonymity of the internet and the lack of any consequence.

were you one of the lights assaulting our base? AH yes I remember now.

I don't know who won cause i left right after that. but you made the game fun for me, thats what I like to see. That match also showed how easy it is to defend when people make the effort.

That guy should stay in skirmish I guess. I have no idea what his problem us, we were all enjoying ourselves and chatting to each other, then he killed me. He was in our alpha lance too....very strange. I don't think i hit him, or blocked him, although that should not be an excuse. He wouldn't say why he killed me, he just kept pretending he didn't and laughing about it... He followed me around the hill where i was by myself, and I guess he figured noone else would see him killing me.

GG.

It happens so I would not get to spazzed over it. I still see TK's but its a lot less then before.
Try my screen name for a while and see what its like to have a bounty on your head.

I figure if it helps the clowns deal with their insecurities I am providing a public service,

[Lokesh]

I very rarely see TKs. The last one was some angry premade that killed the guy who split them up (and that was over a month ago). Are you sure that you didn't do something to annoy the guy?

Its true, this community is pretty mature for the most part. But then agian, its also very small.

NO dude. I didn't hit him and I didn't block him, although that should not be any excuse.. He followed me when i was all by myself and noone could see us before he started killing me. And never said why except for laughing about it.

It makes you wonder how many people were driven from the game by guys like this. What is going to stop them? He was simply jealous of the comaraderie and the fact we were winning.

I guarantee it was jealousy...just another russian malicious hacking hater who needs to pick a number. He needs to stay in skirmish with all the other lame gamers if hes got a problem with definding base.

I have seen a few TK in the last week - today i was in a PUG where it happened for unknown reason to another Pilot in the Team.
Onlinegaming is full of wonder...

accidentaly TK occur. It happens. When you run into a line of fire you risk this, when you crowd around other mechs you risk this.

Its just a common part of shooting games.

That said I dont see too many on purpose TK. That said...

Does being TK once during a 'maybe' 15 minute game at the most really hurt the feelings of the OP that much that it needs to be shouted out? I would say a report is enough. Ive been TK I dont know how many times while playing this game from beggining to end. Ive also been exposed to friendly fire many many times.

Its a game. If it bugs you that much then step away from it. You shouldnt let a game get you that upset.

I got flamed for walking into the line of fire yesterday. Sometimes its a choice between withering UAC fire from a murmets or three medium lasers from a teammate. I took the medium lasers.

Indeed, But dont complain when you die in a war game from common war scenarios.

The manufactured scenario. I have never complained about losing matches or getting killed. I complain about a segment of the match population having every advantage over pugs. I do just fine in matches and dont cry for nerfing this or that like the majority of the threads here. I call them nerf warriors most often. I have one issue since day one and I wrote it above.
Seems the oppisition will post any untruth to gain ground. I wont but will stick with one simple common sense argument.
Comms, timely intell and familiarity win matches. Pugs,Noobs and casual players get none of the three. I just want the first two so its a fair match. Thats it. The only thing I want.
