Having a penalty that removes your XP because of a TK is stupid. I can't even tell you how stupid this is. A lot of TKs are unavoidable and not the fault of the person who does it, see vehicle kills and killing someone executing an ally. This is yet more safe space carebear bullshit nonsense, and that needs to stop. @BrentEllison
It at least needs removed from killing downed team mates. It happens way too often for it to take exp away.
It's good enough as it is, it's punishing enough to disencourage it and forgeting enough that it won't ruin your game if you don't tk too much, the most xp i've ever lost in a game due to tk was 600 because of dumbasses who try to melee a vehicle while im' melting it.
As a member of a lore-focused Iron Warriors roleplaying guild, I hate that the game punishes me and my guildmates for playing in character.
I have people tell me to kill them while they are downed, I get punished for doing what I'm asked to.
I for one would hate TK penalty to go, as i play mostly JPA and Melta Gun and even with TK penalty Plasma Cannon assholes shoot their charged shots at me when i'm hugging the side of a Rhino or engaged in melee and after i call them out all they say is sorry bro, chill, it's just for fun, shits and giggles and etc.
Not if they're being executed. Duh? No, the penalty is automatic and prevents you getting xp from the next actions. So if you kill a vehicle but someone is standing next to it, you get nothing. That's a big chunk of xp to lose. Well, yeah. Most people who can't play shooters main JPAs because they're so easy to evade with, and you really don't have much AoE stuff to worry about doing friendly fire with. This is something that affects the people with more experience with shooters, who understand that TKs happen and don't get bent out of shape over it and wouldn't want to punish people for TKing them. Losing several vehicle kills because of dumbshits who insist on meleeing vehicles that are on fire is a pretty big amount. Since this doesn't even affect you on your JPA, you kinda don't have any weight for your opinion.
Not everyone does it though, even when it's totally justified like when you're taking out an enemy executing a teammate and a stray shot manage to accidentally finish off the guy that was about to die anyways. On a similar note, I feel like something needs to be done about suicide attacks. There's absolutely no penalty with the plasma cannon spam to blow yourself and the melee that's gunning for you.
