Today I witnessed 6 intentional team kills. Not the "Oh, I launched a OHK projectile and someone stepped in the way", "I watched you run right into the hundreds of bullets I am firing so you can get pissy with me", or the "I'm wasted and don't know where I'm swinging". Intentional, several feet away, unloading all the bullets into a friendly team member type of killing. I get new players do stupid crap, but damn. I was a victim of 2 of those kills myself, for whatever reason. One of them was a guy who decided to just be an ass and start killing everyone friendly he saw as the match was about to end. Has anyone noticed an increase besides me?
A lot of it is probably due to the influx of new players. Particularly since the lsm and chaos models are similiar enough to be confusing to a new player. The game isn't especially quick to distinguish friend from foe, so it may be a bit before the newer players catch on.
While that is true (and I've fallen victim to the same issue. Numerous times, and still do at long ranges.), all the TKs I witnessed were from playing Orks. And they were literally within melee range when they did it. I'm just hoping it decreases, or there needs to be a different policy.
Don't move around corners too quickly. Or at all. Be sure to approach new Players with a white flag held above your head. They tend to be quite trigger happy. Whenever i run around with a melee class, rolling around corners i always get 1 or 2 shots, just for saefty it seems x.x And if i am close to beeing downed well... i am downed after that Bolter-High-five
TK starts for my whilst dealing with 1.3 Game-speed increase and so the TKs. I also get a shot into an allies head, and apologies everytime by typing "Sry" in chat. Fortunately melee strikes dont deal damage, or it would be even worse. But behave like OP said is unacceptable. It is a shame and even though this is a small community, we all should try to hold up some "gentleman act-of-WAR". Stealing XP because of getting interupted while executing is sad. Losing XP while TKed at the end of cap (single or match-win) is even more sad. 1-2 TK a game is ok, dealing and receiving I think. But above this and from one player exceptional, is a shame.
New players fire at whatever moves. I have been un loaded on by people on my team when we are playing eldar or orks. I mean seriously people check your fucking target down range before blasting them to pieces. I have also seen a lot of newbies getting pissy when you try and direct them. One even started shooting and hitting me. Since vote kick is pretty much impossible the match is pretty much ruined at that point. So it becomes quit, stop trying to win and just play for points, or get sweet sweet revenge against these A holes. Turns out my storm bolter/moded shoota/TLASC will probably beat your basic un modded tac type weapons so you probably shouldn't puck a fight with me or other vet players new guys.
Exact point! Chaos and Marines are very similar to each other . At dark places its harder for me to recognize one from other. Friendly units should have easier spotting green names on them. Or best , enemies should glow reddish like most of the other fast paced mmofps/tps
As a side note, I'd really like higher tier LSM armours to NOT have the silver banding. I'm coming from the tabletop, where metallic trim around armour automatically equals Chaos. It took me a while to realize Eternal Crusade took away that visual cue. When I was still starting out, I have been killed by a LSM I assumed was friendly on several occasions.
