I was yelled at for this.

That 16 damage was pretty expensive.

If it was Stingr4y it shouldn't have penalized you.

...ok.

Actually... wait, what? That's actually kind of impressive.

1 damage. -16 C-Bills.

Damn. One damage point, one kill. Wrong team. C'est la vie. ^^

I wonder if that 1 "savior" kill was the enemy that you rescued from your teammate...

[Y E O N N E]

I'm more interested in how you got an "=" for that. I've gotten better scores and still dropped.

PSR works in mysterious ways.

On a loss, doing somewhere in the range of 400ish damage with a few assists will usually net me an "=" rather than dropping. I don't know the exact number or formula, but it has happened enough for me to know that 400 is close to that magic number.

[jjm1]

sigh. The number of 1 damage team kills I've achieved . There should be a badge for it. I did it twice in a row once.

This is my crowning achievement though. Spraying SRMs all over the jungle landed 7 legit kills.

I don't remember the exact numbers (enough threads on the topic so go search if you want the know the details )
But once you have a match score of (I believe) 250, you get the equal sign. Seen that damage accounts for nearly half the points. His damage is almost enough in itself. Add the kills, assists, kmdd and solo kill and you're there.

I TK once a month, at least (not counting unit members).
All accidents, i swear!
Really.

[Appogee]

LOL.

I too have done 1 team damage and a team kill.

It should be an achievement

[vibrant]

Actually, does anyone know details about how team-damage works? I've noticed that the damage figures shown at the end of the match... don't seem to align with how much damage I think I've accidentally hit a teammate with. The listed figure seems a lot lower... as if they scale it down.

[Kotzi]

Last time i shot a buddy with 2 ERPPCs i did 31 point teamdamage. Thats about right, 15 per PPC and 1 by ramming someone.

A lot of team damage is done when someone 'intercepts' your ordinance. So, your reticle isn't always on them when you hit them, so your weapons aren't converged on them. So some SRMs 'miss,' lasers only hit with quarter burns, only your left side autocannon hits... so on.

I've had a Locust suicide and get me a team kill by running into my Jager Mech's leg... This is no surprise... They need windshield wiper cockpit items to get the bugs off your windshield.

[Ryllen Kriel]

Don't feel bad OP, I got a TK off of 2 team damage before because an injured PUG ran up to suicide face hug an enemy mech I had been LRMing from far away in one of my rare missile builds. I didn't notice at first, but apologized once I heard the first complaint. For the rest of the round I was called a teamkiller and some other random dead try-hard lectured me at length about not being careful, LRMs not being a viable weapon system and then picking apart my build as my mech was still alive in the match and helping win it with my other teammates. When we won, I saw the stats, announced my total of 2 team damage, the punks had nothing to say and exited stage left.

He was kind of like another player who jumped in front of my mech on my clanner account. I was actively hitting an enemy with lasers and streak volleys. When streaks weren't firing, lasers were. I am about to land a killing blow, I am not moving and a guy in a Wolfhound steps in front of me to ninja the killing blow. He steps into lasers that are already firing and he should see firing, then eats (luckily) only a couple of my missiles. I don't kill his mech, I only do 6 damage but he calls me a teamkiller for the rest of the round and tells others to report me, although I killed no teammates and downed three enemies at around 450 damage. This game reinforces my lack of faith in humanity. Thankfully in this round no other PUGs jumped on the ban-wagon since no accidental teamkill occurred for the single digit team damage. Lots of jackasses out there, just try to ignore them if possible.
