I got 20 Min penalty because of 136 Arty-Strike teamdamage in scoutmode. That is a bit over the top. I dealt 636 damage to the enemy in that game. Assumed 400 from the artystrike. Bit upset about that long wait time.

I'm pretty sure you can't get a 20 minute penalty unless you've been consistently doing team damage and team killing.

I think maybe you're being a bit sloppier than you think.

Had this happen a couple of days ago. Someone walked into it haha

This.

I occasionally have about ~50 team damage and very rarely even a team kill. I have never seen more than the initial ~10 second penalty. 20 minutes is ...

[LordNothing]

ive seen situations where team damage and team kills stacked from a single match and gave me a 5min penalty. though ive seen worse penalties from disconnects, even ones where i returned to the game supposedly in time. you have to do something really stupid to do that, like mix up one of your guys with the enemy and fire several alphas at them. ive also had fp games with 2 tks, but only maybe 5 team damage total, and that also stacks.

[Kiiyor]

You usually need a few consecutive whoopsies before you get snagged for 20 minutes - unless you rack up a truly horrifying amount of team damage. You must have nailed a penalty before that. Kerblamming teammates with a misplaced strike is just the high explosive icing on the cake.

Sometimes it's hard to reign it in. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.

I had 6 seconds a couple games before. Nothing else today. It came from nowhere. Or you are right and i missed sth. But i have also seen 2 min, 5 min. But never 20 minutes.

Edit: 20 minutes are over now. I wonder if i get banned the next game if another unintended teamdamge occures!

This is your punishment for being the kind of fun-killing **** that drops strikes in Scouting.

Hahaha nope you would of had to do either more then that in one game or already gotten other penalties before that match.

[The Basilisk]

oh thats absolutely possible if you got two other penaltys within the last 4 hours (thats the time frame penaltys stack)
f.e. get a 10sec penalty for your game in the lunch brake, a minute penalty for the whoopsie just after you got home from work and eff up in the evening dooing some hundrets of dmg and a teamkill.
(Tk would now be 5mins and the dmg the 20 mins its an additive system you know)

[Khobai]

um dont drop arty on your teammates and you wont get 20 minute penalties

[Mr Snrub]

I have a solution: get rid of strikes.

[LT. HARDCASE]

Spin the tale as you want, but you don't get 20 minutes from a single 136 damage infraction.

well I am pretty impressed you do more damage with a strike then most of us do in three scouting
matches

well done sir

[Asym]

WOW !!!

I'm jealous.... Sooooo much damage.....I usually only see 150 in a match.....

Maybe, I should add another strike package to the SHC and mount LRM's for Scouting.... It's the only way to fight four full-up brawling Bushwhackers armed to the short range teeth! I've seen LRM and ATM boats showing up in scouting more today than ever before ! Heck, I may just drop with a friend of mine with a light fast mover and a TAG..... Haven't tried Strikes yet.....later tonight a few of us will try four strikes in a row and see what happens to the Bushwhackers..... We get stomped anyway, why not?

[Nightbird]

Scouting has a lower tolerance than QP. It's normally 80 team damage for strike against you in QP. For scouting, it's 20 damage, so you get 6 ticks against you for that strike.

[Vellron2005]

Personally, I have the habit of placing a "last hurrah, burn in hell and suck it" arty strikes in front of my feet when surrounded by enemies, and when I know I'm about to die.

They occasionally hurt friendlies..

I also have issues with the game client that make me disco alot and can't reconnect within 3 minutes.

I've also TK'ed people by accident sometimes.

Sometimes, I TK'ed people on purpose when they went haywire and started TK-ing teammates.

After all of this, the biggest penalty I have ever gotten was 2 minutes.

If you got a 20 minute penalty, you deserve it. Or worse.

i got 20 for disconnects once, which occurred while pgi was having server issues.

people misunderstand the purpose of the auto-penalty system. it exists not to punish bad players, but so that pgi can do nothing and claim they are doing something.

[MechaBattler]

Simple. Stop arty striking your team!
