The match penalty system is far too harsh. If i do more than 6 team damage, i incur the penalty. Every day im tripping the 20min timer multiple times because of accidental team damage. Not my fault that people dont watch where they are going and walk into fire. Seriously PGI, loosen up the damn penalties. its really easy to do 6pts of team damage...

6 team damage ... 20 mins penalty? ... Yeah, cool story bro.

[Bohxim]

Is this a new thing? Coz as of prev patch it was still like 60-70 team damage or 1 team kill you get 1 penalty point. And even that is 10s only. 2nd penalty point within the time frame of a few hours is extended to 2 mins.

[AnTi90d]

I've accidentally blasted people for 30 damage and not received a penalty.

Hell, I usually do 10-15, each match.

Have you tried charging MC? That might fix it.

[McMurl]

no i get 20 mins because i keep getting the penalty over and over again within the 4 hour period

Lack of battlefield awareness. On your side. Because accidentally hitting someone happens. What you are doing is intentional or you lack awareness. Last time i blasted a buddy with 2 ERPPCs doing 30 damage didnt trigger any penalties.

yeah, 6 is wrong. I average 6 to 10 per match and never get a penalty.

Dude is just bad

note how nobody else in this thread has this problem. It's just you.

These penalties protect us from YOU.

I never got a 20min penalty. Ever.

[Kaptain]

I actually feel the penalty is too lenient if anything... but I hardly ever do enough team damage for it to even register. Battlefield awareness goes a long way.

[Willard Phule]

NO kidding! Penalties are completely unfair for guys that can't unzoom or figure out which triangles are the enemy.

I mean, sure it would make sense if people were separated by skill or something, but with since they added FW's matchmaker to QP, it just makes it harder for new people to figure out what they're doing.

Just get rid of FF altogether.

You sure you didn't kill 6 team mates instead of doing 6 dmg? I've had my team run through an accidental arty launch and did not receive a penalty,...

It needs to be harsher...

[LT. HARDCASE]

There's no way you're telling what's really happening. Heck your first team kill is only a 10 second penalty.

To reach 20 minutes, you have to be playing extremely recklessly.

Yeah, I typically do 6-7 damage every match, one errant laser blast because someone walks into a shot will do it even if you pull off target quickly. I never get penalties.

I think penalities are too much tiny.

Also, it IS your fault if you cannot avoid to fire your teamates' backs.
does it need too much skill to raise the reticule if someone pass the fire line??

So you come here and complain because you won't or can't check fire and hit friendlies, play a World of game and see real penalties. because these have been in for at least two patches now, and your the first that's complained.

The penalties are not severe enough

As to the OP. I have unintentionally killed a friendly twice (came close a third time...I swear the triangle was red!) and done more than 30 points of team damage maybe a dozen times. Yet I have only every gotten a twenty minute penalty when I was trying to kill (and succeeded) an annoying teammate who really deserved it. I believe the only reason I got the 20 min penalty is because I and others in our ire, slowly took him apart so the damage was also extreme as well.

If someone runs into my laser beams blowing apart a red CT, I don't even consider moving the reticule!

Well at some points, eg some weapons, you cant adjust your aim. And there is also that teammate pushing in front of you while you have been there shooting all the time. But in most cases you can avoid teamdamage. My average is 1 with occasional peaks at 30 - 40.
