blatant and deliberate team killing...

[synkrotron]

I did a search on this topic, and boy, there are a lot of existing threads about this.

I deliberated resurrecting one of those but decided not too.

My story is a little different.

Twice this weekend I have been knifed by a guy in the same faction.

Both occasions happened at a time when I was an infiltrator, so perhaps these two guys simply hate infiltrators of any faction.

Tonight, I was at a Sundy changing into a Heavy because I decided that, seeing as there was a lot of enemy air around I could help more by bringing my Hawk into play.

Just as I changed this geezer knifed me. Knifing take two strokes to kill and is why I am saying it is deliberate.

I messaged him, asking why did he do it, but I was ignored. I could have reported him but I've found out, to my frustration, that this is a waste of time because SOE don't respond at all.

The funny thing was, a little bit later in the game, I killed a TR dood with exactly the same name, except the last character (a number) was different. It was a lucky kill too, so all the more funny.

I've since found out that this guy has three characters on Ceres all ending in 97, 98 and 99. Shortly after teamkilling me he switched faction. It was a real stroke of "good fortune" that we crossed paths like we did. I'd almost consider myself to be a hacker, which is a hilarious concept...

It really pisses me off though when peeps do this. I've been deliberately run over more than once, although it's always more difficult to prove that. And I've accidentally walked into the line of fire and so that is a my fault.

But knifing, for me, is such a deliberate and quite snide act to carry out. I understand that some peeps accidentally shoot others just as a reflex. I've done that once or twice myself. And even if someone walks in front of me as I pull the trigger, I message them and apologise, each and every time, no matter what I am up to at the time.

Anyway, rant over for now... I'm sure you've all had enough of peeps moaning about this.........

[OCNSethy]

Ive never understood why people feeled compelled to do this. Ive experienced a 4th factioner who was running around as TR TKing everyone is sight and when fired upon by the 'enemy' messaged "Dont shoot! I am Vanu!"

We hunted that SOB all night. Its a wonder we where not all kicked for TKing. Ended up reporting him/her as well. Havent seen that char since.

[Sirisian]

I don't mind that too much. The only thing that bothers me is friendlies who blow up friendly mines. I don't think it gives grief so there are people that run around shooting them all when they find them.

[Blynd]

Or freindliew blowing their own factions sundies its just a lame way of trying to win the fight your at.

[synkrotron]

I don't mind that too much.

What don't you mind? Deliberate TK'ing or accidental TK'ing?

I mean, I certainly don't mind being accidentally killed, although it would be nice to receive an apology every now and then.

But, no, deliberate TK'ing will always annoy the hell out of me... And I realise that now I've said that there will be guys queuing up to stab me in the back now LOL :doh:

[ChipMHazard]

Not that long ago I had one asshat teamkilling me and a couple of others, while ignoring everyone else.
I banded together with the others he was teamkilling and we made sure he made good use of the spawn tubes.
Later on he returned while there was a Biolab fight going on and started killing me again... Too bad for him that I was the only medic around and the other TR didn't take kindly to his actions. He then returned as a MAX and punched me which prompted me to just let him die without ressing or repping him.
Lesson being: Don't fuck with support players, when they are the only ones in the area.

[bpostal]

While TK'ing is annoying, I feel that grief should be turned off for outfit/squad and platoon members.

[ChipMHazard]

While TK'ing is annoying, I feel that grief should be turned off for outfit/squad and platoon members.

Aye, while it's rather funny to see certain team mates possibly get locked because they crashed a galaxy full of people it's also rather unfair.

[PurpleOtter]

This can be a real P.I.T.A. I once had an outfit "put out a hit" on me. We had just taken a point in a base and I took up position covering a doorway. With no warning, get the death screen, it's another Terran. Sent a tell asking what the hell was going on. Was told that there was "a hit out on me" by their outfit.

I pulled up the Alliance spreadsheet with the TS info and logged onto their server. After politely explaining the situation to an Outfit leader was told this was because "I had been deliberately targeting them". Yeah RIIIGHTTT...sent them my PLanetside2Players link and asked them point out all of their members on my killboard...hint: there were none..

Needless to say, there are ways to make the "problem children" go away...

[synkrotron]

Yeah, if the teamkiller is in an outfit I have, in the recent past, asked the question "why" on the outfit forum, if they have one. You at least get an apology that way, sometimes.

But when the teamkiller is a loaner then it can be impossible to track him down.

The guy that stabbed me the other night immediately committed suicide and then came back as a TR character and I only found that out by complete accident.

One ploy I tried was inviting a guy that had stabbed me into our squad. The guy accepted and it didn't take me long to exact my revenge. I then left the squad and went elsewhere for five minutes, cos I didn't want to get into a prolonged tit for tat. By that time he had left the squad himself and I didn't see him again. At least I don't think so... you just never know do you?

I've always said that I would never do that but when it comes to knifing I have decided to say, "sod the ethics." The bastard dies.

[Baneblade]

Back when PS1 was popular, I got into a rivalry with some guy for no reason that I can recall. Every time I saw him, I'd try to OS him. Sometimes I would get his Vanguard and any friendlies dumb enough to be next to him.

To this day I don't even know why it started... not that I care, some of the funniest TKs I ever saw sent him to the spawn room.

[camycamera]

hm, the last time i remember getting TK'd on purpose that was not from my own outfit, was when we were running a platoon, and a guy in a platoon came up to many of us and killed us. he ran away, we kicked him out of the platoon, then he joined again and i think he TK'd again, and at that point we reported him and kicked him again.

people are strange :lol:, maybe he was a NC or VS spy? :O

[Artimus]

How about getting weapons locked from people spawn glitching under your sundy accidentally killing them causing yourself greif. *facepalm*

[Tatwi]

How about getting weapons locked from people spawn glitching under your sundy accidentally killing them causing yourself greif. *facepalm*

Being run over by a friendly should only apply grief if the person who got run over decides to apply it. Stick a prompt on the death screen, "Apply grief points to ______ for running you over with their ______?" [YES] [NO]. Default it to NO after 10 seconds of not selecting a response. Most of the time it's accidental and I imagine a lot of people would choose not to apply the grief.

[synkrotron]

*sigh*

Got team killed again yesterday. I asked the player why he killed me and his reply (at least he replied) was, "you are camping in the spawn room and not helping..."

I've said this before, I'm not that good a player. I sometimes hang around in the spawn room to figure out what I CAN do to help. Otherwise, I just run outside and die, therefore not helping anyway.

Irony was, in this case, I was changing from my infil sniper loadout to my infil SMG loadout and this player shot me in the head while I was at the terminal. I'd been having a good morning, for me, and I was heading out to a point, to practice my CQ "skills."

So I can only assume that this player had seen me either earlier in the game that morning, or other days, and decided I needed punishing.

Why?

So what, if I'm "not helping." Why am I not allowed to play this game in my own way, for my own enjoyment.

I wasn't in a squad yesterday and I deliberately denied a number of requests to join one, because sometimes I just want to go it alone. If I do join a squad, I help as much as I can by following a group of guys, reviving as much as I can before I die myself. Or I'll sit on a point to defend it as best I can.

Earlier that morning, I was on Esamir and the NC was attempting to take a base from the TR. I set up camp in some hills and I spotted a sniper on the roof of the spawn room. In fifteen minutes I had killed the same sniper five times. How was counter sniping that not helping?

At other times I help loads. When I look at my stats I have umpteen ribbons for repairing/healing/reviving, so how is that not helping?

FFS, I even got my first ever C-4 kill yesterday, and I only certed that last week. How is that not helping.

These people who think they can be judge, jury and executioner really piss me off.

Okay, I may piss people off because I sometimes don't run out of the spawn room as soon as I spawn, but why don't they just leave me alone and get on with their own game?

Anyway, whatever... Fortunately it doesn't happen much and at the moment...

[Snoopy]

I wouldn't worry too much. This game is full of armchair experts that love telling people what to do and what not to do. More often than not, most of them couldn't organise a shag in a brothel and continue to zerg around mindlessly.

As for team killers, I ignore most, but write down their name and return the favour when ever I am so lucky to come across them again. Two wrongs don't make a right, but it does make me feel better.

[Binkley]

The battle was over and about 15 of us crowed around a vehicle terminal to spawn whatever to get to the next fight. Some team killing bastard decided it was funny to C4 us all. Actually, in hindsight it was kind of funny.

Sniping or shooting from the spawn room is fine in my book, so long as others can leave the spawn without getting shot in the back. The bitches that complain about how you play simply need to pin the reason for their own failure to capture the point (or whatever) on someone else. I died out there five times!! It must be your fault.

[Obstruction]

my lib team actually gets quite a lot of butthurt TK attempts. what follows is an atrocious wall of text, but there isn't much i can do but break up each anecdote for bite sized consumption. if you soldier through it, thanks. skip to the end for the moral of the story.

===

since we fly on all three factions fairly regularly, we're used to the audio and visual cues of pretty much anything that can come after us. we just sort of expect all friendly air that isn't an outfit mate to turn on us for any reason at any time.

for example, some little kid got in my 2nd seat before my gunner could, so i set the plane to squad. then he flew out behind us in a reaver and tried to rocket pod us. so we turned and daltoned him. then he came out in his lib immediately after that and jumped us with the tank buster. we leapt out of the way, turned on him, dunked on him really hard and continued on our way. he was something like BR55. i was pretty astonished how bad he was.

this type of thing isn't really very notable, but it happens a lot. some guy gets mad that you already had a squad going and doesn't like being left in the warpgate. it's not even like i flew him out and dropped him from 800 meters either. i could have. but i didn't. then they pull this kind of thing and learn a lesson. hopefully.

===

another time this whole TR outfit declared war on us for "stealing their certs" by being at a base capture that we happened to fly by on our way to another fight. they kept stalking and harassing us, sending tells and such. so we let them kill us, took video and stills, and submitted tickets to SOE for in game harassment explaining the situation. SOE immediately responded by saying they understand some amount of TK will happen but that harassment isn't tolerated. so the GM went on spectator and followed them around. we reported another TK not long after that as an update to the ticket and, lo and behold, we got another immediate response from the GM stating "yeah i was actually investigating this ticket over ikanam biolab and i saw that. it's being dealt with." they didn't get banned, but they never spoke to us or fired on us again. i assume they had a meeting with Jesus, and saw the light and the way.

===

the last notable TK story involves a very high ranking player on our server scoreboard, which actually places him high in the running in the competitive scene. he's even competitive on the world top list and high up in a very well regarded outfit.

anyway one day we were playing NC and caught him lurking the edge of our render in a lock-on mossie. he came in to strike and ran back out to render, we chased and he ran. this happened a few times so we just ran him down until he was out of AB and then proceeded to push him hard until he made a mistake and got daltoned.

then we just so happened to run into him somewhere else a bit later, got the drop on him, and daltoned him from above. i guess he got mad.

he came at us again in the mossie, this time doing the distance thing again. he's a good shot but you can't really get the kind of DPS you need doing that. anyway, long story short, my gunner is pretty scary so with him just sort of sitting out there at range it wasn't too hard for her to pop him.

it was some time later that we started getting TK attempts by a mysterious reaver. some guy in an air hammer reaver came at us as we were pulling out of a fight injured. we daltoned him right off, but the plane burned. we dismounted and i asked him in the warpgate "what that was about? why did you try to TK us man?"

i got no response. so we pulled again and again this guy comes in a reaver a bit later. i think this time when i stalled the lib to turn, he just ran into my tail. whoops. then later still, he comes back again. this time we were basically just waiting to hear that reaver on approach so we turned and wasted him just like any other idiot that doesn't know how to fight us. another dalton round through the cockpit.

by this time i was checking his name here on PSU to see if it was some kind of dummy account or what. turns out it really wasn't. it was a full fledged alt just like mine. except i could see from his outfit mates exactly who he was. well, within a reasonable doubt. his mates were all these serverfamous names from that well regarded outfit. and i said to my partner, "no way - this is that guy, butthurt that we beat him in his mossie."

anyway his last lame TK attempt was to pull a galaxy and try to flip us in the warpgate. as if i haven't had to put up with that shit from scrub noobs my whole time flying in PS2. we ran him around in circles for like 45 minutes, putting shells into him and making him limp back into the gate to repair. i think he was trying to get us weapon locked maybe? anyway after he got tired i sat my lib on him and humped it loudly in prox for a bit.

a week later i was watching somebody stream, i forget who, but they had that TKer in the stream and were calling him by his well known, top player name in the teamspeak.

it was him after all.

i'm sort of flattered, really, that one of those Top Dick players that never admits anyone else is good, never displays any sort of sportsmanship or good will, never even says "gg," would go out of his way to try to get his pathetic revenge.

===

the moral of the story

there's a few guys we fight that i don't think are good sports, that only send tells to make excuses about why they lost. i get it; they need to diminish our victory. as if the outcome of one confrontation really threatens anything tangible. but from our end of it, we still value the fight and the experience we gain from it - win or lose. and even if you are a prick, we will always treat you with respect.

my partner and i go out of our way to make friends and build community among the top pilots. that's how we've kept growing as a team, how we stay sharp, and how we can admit to ourselves that we are among good company near the top of the air game - without coming off as being dicks that think we're too good for everyone else. one of our rivals actually put it best when she said "that was a really scary fight, but lets do it again! you have to fight the best to be the best!" and she is. she's one of the best and a real challenge to duel. she's also a fantastic wingmate when we're on the same faction.

and so, to those ace ESFs and the other top lib teams that we fight regularly: my thanks to you for being really tough opponents and good sports. it's a real pleasure to play with and against you. it's you guys and girls that keep us playing day after day, it's you that makes it fun to play with and against you from all three factions.

and to the TKers, the haters, the sore losers, sore winners (even worse): i hope you change. i mean "lol - u mad" but also i hope you change. there's plenty of room up here at the top with the rest of us.

[synkrotron]

As for team killers, I ignore most, but write down their name and return the favour when ever I am so lucky to come across them again. Two wrongs don't make a right, but it does make me feel better.

Thanks for your encouraging words Snoop.

I have to admit that I've started to do the same, even though I said I wouldn't. The thing that worries me now is you can end up in a tit for tat exchange and I know I'll pretty much always come out second best.

Sniping or shooting from the spawn room is fine in my book, so long as others can leave the spawn without getting shot in the back.

Well, that's good to hear :) If only everyone thought the same...

I do try to be careful in that situation and if I do catch anyone I immediately switch to medic and revive them, and apologise via proximity chat. And strange as it seems, I have never been victim of a revenge kill when that happens.

@ Obstruction

Thanks for popping in here and sharing your tales :D

You are obviously a very good player but sound forgiving of the guys (and girls) that will never make it to anywhere near the top.

[Obstruction]

You are obviously a very good player but sound forgiving of the guys (and girls) that will never make it to anywhere near the top.

we're pretty good at the thing we do because we enjoy it and practice a lot. but it's not like we never lose or have bad days, and we're definitely not great at everything in the game. i enjoy playing medic and heavy, and fun little 2 on 2s that happen on quiet continents.

but i'm far from a "good player" lol. those well known top outfits wouldn't have anything to do with me. i guess i just meant to share to show that the TKing is sometimes just part of the game, but that the positive aspects of community help us rise above it.

[synkrotron]

i guess i just meant to share to show that the TKing is sometimes just part of the game, but that the positive aspects of community help us rise above it.

Well, thanks again, I appreciated it :)

And you're right, I like my PS2 experience, at the moment, too much to let the odd bit of TK'ing get me down :) I just like having a bit of a moan about it here from time to time :D

[Plaqueis]

wall of text

Similar thing happened to me a while back; i was flying a Scythe somewhere, went after enemy ESF with another Scythe, we finished the enemy ESF, i pulled up but the friendly was close above me and we collided, we both exploded. I pm'd the guy "Sorry mate, my bad :(" or something along those lines (i always do that if tk's occur). The guy didnt respond, and i thought nothing of it.

So, i took another Scythe and went to same area. I found an enemy ESF, went after it, and killed it. Immediately after that, i start getting plinked by what sounds like a Saron.. so i turn around quickly to see whats shooting me, and what do you know.. its the guy who i collided with earlier.. he promptly kills me, and i pm him "wtf was that".. the guy says that i killed him earlier, this was a payback.. i said i told you i was sorry, it wasnt intentional, and the dude says nothing.. so, i told him fine, if this is how you want to play it.. i can hunt you down too.. and this is when the fun starts;

"Do you know who i am? You don't want to start this with me.. i was voted the best VS pilot you know?"

The guy was Br100 so i had no reason not to believe him. So i replied:

"I dont give a flying fuck who you are. I can TK you just as easily as you can TK me, i don't need to be flying you know? I just decide not to cause im not a fucking conceited dick like you"

After this he didnt say a word anymore...

And yes, if you play on Cobalt, you'll probably know exactly who this guy is...

[AuntLou]

Just because you don't get an apology for getting TKed doesn't mean it was deliberate. I try my best to send tells but it isn't possible about half the time. 90% of the time someone gets ran over it's the it isn't the vehicles fault. First I'd like to say it's SOE who decided to put vehicle ammo and repair on the same vehicle where people spawn(WTF?). All infantry should keep their distance from vehicles, stay off the roads and for the love of god engineers don't repair a magrider in combat!
Also guys never seek revenge on a TKer, it makes you worse then them.

[Falcon_br]

Today Evilmind Tked me several times.
I didn´t shoot him back.
Don´t recall any reason for him to tked a BR-8 character three times in a row.
Maybe it is his way to tell the noobs, Welcome to Tkside!

[Mordelicius]

I always report team-killers, griefers and saboteurs in Waterson. There's always these newbies (and worse high lvls) who get to their alts and try to blow up friendly Sunderer.

The other day there was this newbie trying to shotgun the Sunderer.... So, I just repaired it. Then he came back with a rocket launcher. I tried to repair it even if i'm getting hit with splash damage. Then he started aiming for me so I can't repair it. Right then I blasted him and told him I'll be reporting him for trying to blow up friendy Sunderer.

Worse though is they just look for you and shoot you in the spawnroom or while you're just repairing with no enemies around. If they think that's the end of that, they are mistaken.

[Baneblade]

I got reported for TKing a friendly who was TKing friendlies for TKing friendlies. I shared the aspirin with the GM.

I just had to quote this because the poster is the kind of player we should all aspire to be, and the kind I always try to fill my outfit with. It doesn't matter how good, or bad, you are at this game. The only scrubs who lose are the ones who act like the mystery reaver-pilot, who I'm dying to know the identity of, being a former Markovian.

PM meh:lol:

Oh and lols
I got reported for TKing a friendly who was TKing friendlies for TKing friendlies. I shared the aspirin with the GM.

[synkrotron]

Indeed :)

and lols

Yeah, I had a chuckle at that :lol:

[ZeroDefex]

My girlfriend and I were playing the other night and some guy shot her in the spawn room with a pistol to the head. She asked why. I shot him dead right then and there. I told him to refrain from TKing my squad mates. His reply was, "I can kill who ever I want." My reply was similar to, "so can I." After he tried to C4 our squad Sunderer, I put the word out to my squad, "kill on sight." After he was killed a few times, he came back as a medic and started to revive and heal us. We stopped killing him. Problem solved.

[OCNSethy]

Ive noticed that while im playing infil, I will often get knifed by some random friendly... especially if Im cloaked. I note too that they are often BR 1- 5.

The last two that pulled that crap got a face full of SMG for their trouble. I dont mind dying to the enemy but Im over it from 'friendlies'.

[synkrotron]

His reply was, "I can kill who ever I want."

Yeah, that was pretty lame. He got is just deserves and at least he appeared to mend his ways. Others are too hard faced to accept that what they are doing isn't exactly fair.

@ OCNSethy - I would like to believe that when it is a BR 1-5 that they simply didn't know what they were doing and perhaps mistook us infils as an enemy. But I some times wonder if someone simply has an alternate account just so that they can exact revenge having just been shot in the head. Or just someone who hates infiltrators. We know there are plenty of those around...

Possibly an attack of the noobs and maybe even 4th faction. Either way if they are going to try and kill me, they had better succeed otherwise they are going down.

[findus]

...aaaand again...

Got hit by a friendly fire :rolleyes: dumbfire (my fault) and directly after that one shooted in the spawn (Rust Mesa) by a BR1 called Spammerwhatshisnumber with a orion. :doh::mad::huh:

I hate that ...:confused:

And now friendly fire is on in the warpgate....not helping...:cry:

shooted in the spawn

I've made an observation that, for some reason, a few peeps have a habit of having their finger on the left mouse button as they spawn so can end up shooting some poor chump in the back of the head.

Are they perhaps clicking on the deployment map, on the green blob that marks the Spawn, and then continue to press even though the loading screen is showing them that they are on their way.

Beats me, and I wish they would stop doing it. First thing I do, if I need to check the map, or my loadouts before entering the spawn room, is crouch.


Also, a few times over the weekend, I happened upon a base where there are three or four characters griefing each other. Makes me nervous that and I have started to redeploy somewhere else rather than get involved in that rubbish...

I've been TK'd a few times now and it really pisses me off big time. I hate it with a vengeance! I understand accidental friendly fire, it happens, but blatant TKing sends me into a rage.
The other day I was in a huge fire fight helping to defend some huge tower (can't remember the name). I had my AV turret set up on one of the floors firing at the incoming tanks, then for some unknown reason, this guy just knifed me in the back! I went berserk! Asked him why? No response. Sent a load of abuse to him afterwards.

It's happened to me in the Warp Gate too! What it is with these syco jerks! Makes me want to track em down in RL and give them a good slapping and force an answer out of them. WHY??? You FCKG RETARD!

To my own annoyance, one or two times in my time in PS2 i did that accidently myself, i walked behind a friendly and in the heat of the moment i did not find the right mouse button, but tipped the middle one, that was very embarrassing :(:mad:. But you have to apologize, per text and/or proximity chat, in that case, after a short rage you sometimes get a "friend" :rolleyes::cool: Even if i hit a friendly only once, i immediatly apologize, don't know, if the "victim" reads the chat window....

Same again the other night. Some BR 4 TKed me twice while waiting for the second wave of an attack... so it wasnt hectic or accidental.

I had a look ay his stats and sure enough, way too many TKs to be conincidence and only 2 kills on an enemy... interestingly, no other alts. Why?, why?, why? :/

I like your style findus, sending a sorry tell or apologising is always a good thing to do.

Agreed... I always take the time to say sorry.

Also, if I can get to a terminal quick enough, I stop what I am doing and change to medic and rez the peep I just killed.

Edit:-

Sorry for repeating myself. I am very old...

It is?

Um... Why? I mean, just why would the devs allow this? It's pretty much the only place to get away from friendly fire. And trigger happy people... in the heart of the warpgate... far far away from the enemy...

They've done it as a temporary fix to a bug that they're trying to nail in that some players have discovered an exploit that puts them in God mode where you cannot destroy them. Once that's fixed then the Warp Gates will be back to normal. Yes, it's a pain when some jerks decide to kill you there.

[Baneblade]

Strangely enough, I rarely accidentally TK someone unless I mow them down in a vehicle. I don't apologize for that however. Come to think of it, I don't apologize hardly at all for TKs, because it is generally their own fault.

LOL!!!

They introduced a bug that makes players invincible??? In a FPS??? And they fixed it by enabling FF in the WG???

Ahahaha....oh boy, this game cracks me up. :lol:

Did that "solution" atleast fix it?

Yep. I've seen no more God mode players since then. Just hope they can fix it asap!

Today I was on the Hossin alert briefly as Vanu, just me and another Vanu player defending due to everyone else asleep at the keyboard.

Let me rephrase that: just me and another VS player alert. He was not defending.

He was psy-opping on me. I killed him because he was crouching and facing a corner. A corner I was in. Creeping up on me. With his back to the useful part of the control point room.

I killed him several times in a row, warning him to stay away each time. I held the control point solo against the TR... and this one VS player who was hunting me.

The system did not punish me at all.

Preliminary conclusion: I am pretty sure chronic TKers can be killed with impunity.

[Ghost Runner]

Interesting, I get TK'd by peeps who dont like my outfit and by noobs and spys and just really bad shots lol also that guy that runs behind the line shooting though friendly lines trying to steal kills often times makes a TK with the stolen kill.

I find staying a way from the kill lanes(door ways and wall lines clusters of players) and flanking is better for your health if you dont like being TK'd.

Also hehe posting in a Necro thread. :P

Early PS2 used to have so many GMs that they broadcast their names, and one can literally pm them directly rather than do /report and use the ticket system.

But then again, there used to be 15(?) servers....
