  • I'm thinking about a change for the mirrordamage and the friendly fire (Friendly Fire = "FF"). First a explanation of what each of these do:

    - mirror damage: when shooting your team mate you will receive a small percentage of damage you did to him, the amount of % can be adjusted (default: 20 %)
    - Friendly fire: if you shoot your team mate he will receive a specified percentage of the damage you did to him (default 0%)

    The default settings are optimal for "free for all / public" TDM or CTF servers, as there often play socalled "morons", who don't know the difference between DM and TDM/CTF, so the default settings won't hurt the victims of these morons, but hurt the moron himself for being stupid.

    However, when playing TDM or CTF in a ladder match, the handling could be different. I'd like you to select the way you'd like to have it. The poll will end in a week.

  • I voted for full FF, as in TDM one should look out for the teammate and not be able to spam the whole map blindly.

  • I have not voted till now because there are enough morons who keep shooting on teammembers although they know what they do.

    I would prefer also to FF=100% like ai and dIM but on public servers this won't be fun.

    The FF to 100% - yes, but the mirrordamage raised to 50% - 75%

    This is only on ladder servers not a public server poll. So no need to worry about that :) Public servers are better with mirror damage, although I would for it the be FF but what can one do about newbies. :P

  • How about an additional couple of seconds before respawning for teamkillers? Preferably along with a subtle yellow text message pointing out the error in their ways centered around the crosshair.

  • off topic. This would make sense for FFA servers, but for ladder matches it would of course NOT make sense!

  • Okay, this change will be a requirement for team ladder matches from now on.
