TKing

[Tharisfal]

TKing means team killing. For those who didn't know.

Do you think TKing should be a legal part of the game, when it is not FFA? I just had my game ruined by some idiot who turtled in my friends base and started attacking his peasants. I found it distasteful and moronic. So I think it should not be "legal" move.

Also are there any TK lists?

Although I wouldn't quite have put it in the words as you did in the poll, it is just part of the game. I used to think like that a long time ago, and although it is pretty sad, you have to walk away with the moral victory and retain your dignity, which is the only way you can win. Unless of course you can win an RT game 1v2.

Just 1 word : Lame.

Can't get no satisfaction from that.

Record-wise it should balance out, since whenever you get "Omg noob tk allies," (and let's face it, that comment comes up a lot in people's profiles, sarcastically or genuinely) the chances are that you'll have won a game some other time... guess how.

Almost as detrimental as tking is idling, and making that illegal is pretty damn difficult.

However, I only really played RT to test out whacko stuff, so you can really count my "Yes... get over it" vote as a neutral "Meh. I don't care, either way."

Two problems with tk lists, however. People are either on random accounts and are untraceable to their real things, or... they really don't care what any random player thinks.

Yes, it does suck when it happens. That's the risk you run with RT games. Should it be different? Maybe. Best bet when it happens is just to quit, and quickly - you'll get the game back some other time. Oh, and talk to the opposition. They may take pity.

tk are very frustrateing...i finally got a ballance 4v4 game with quick game...and i had a tk in my team the good part was the he started attacking me...it was hu vs. hu ..i had a fast altar build and went for a tavern hero killed him befor he could harm me...we won the game cuz a guy from the other team droped b-cuz of his lag...but still i think this guys should be banned

I thought there was an option in WarCraft III that allowed you to lock teams (e.g. so someone can't change their alliance settings once the game has started)?

[ice]

it's not about him beeing considered an enemy..the just attacks his team, you dont need to be an enemy with some1 so you can attack him

It's possible to attack a team-mate anyway, so you can get out incase you're stuck or something.

[Monty]

In ladder games, teams are automatically locked. However, ctrl+a force-attacks the unit, be it ally or enemy.

Third in line to the throne.

No, it should not be a legal move, but really there is nothing you can do about it.

there are crazy people like this, apparently players can create as many accounts as they want, unless there are some sort of limitation about this, it will never solve.

[Yoda]

I recommend people who team kill have their CD keys taken off the database. Forever. It utterly ruins the game. Although, as Monty says, it often balances out.

[ice]

you can always record the game and send it to blizzard..

I quite often do that, although no doubt they do not tk on their main accounts. I don't play RT very often, but there often seems to be players who simply quit instantly. They should also be banned, in my opinion.

[ice]

blizzard should ban their cd-keys..not just the account..

In the first post on this page, I said that. :)

[ice]

oh..sorry have to check that :)


Later Add: it happend that i got attacked by a lvl 10 player

[Dayoh]

First off, Tking is nothing really to go reported to blizzard with, they arnt hacking (if they are then u do) so its not that bad, with SC blizzard allowed Tking with the alliances allowed to be changed throughout the course of the game, in WC3 RoC and TFT, they have locked alliances so blizzard didnt exactly want Tking in melee games because if they did they would have made the alliances to be changed whenever, it is sucky but its nothing to get worked up over, when i first got TFT it used to happen all the time and i hate it when its like 3v3 and one of ur guys doesent play at all or just builds shit, ur always going to get wankers so we will just have to make some prevenatative measures lol

[Monty]

Problem: average age of warcraft 3 players. Maturity level isn't really there in many cases. Banning keys would be ok, but a bit harsh in my opinion, and would drive away thousands (exaggeration? Probably not.) of players.

In a game like WoW it would be handy -- especially temp bans -- since it's a pay-to-play game, and many people play it on a much more hardcore basis.

[Schwitzer]

If Blizzard really wanted to stop it, they could have coded it so that you cannot attack units / buildings that you are allied with. Some UMS maps prevent team-killing by doing this.

[MidnightGladius]

Yeah, but sometimes, if your ally's base layout is really bad, it can be handy to clear a path or two for your units.

that wound have been very stupid...if you get blocked by an ally unit and you wanna pass? you have to kill it......blocking it would have been something stupid...the curent system is good....except Tkillers :mad:

[Dayoh]

This is getting real silly, first off its a game u dont go banning people even temp just for making u win 2 or 2 games like really, if u get that worked up over games dont play em.

[Schwitzer]

You all seem to keep repeating the "blocked" argument a lot... does this really happen so often?

Oh well, I guess it comes down to whether you want to put up with this supposed blocking, or have to deal with team killers. :/

[Yoda]

In another case, a player could team kill simply by cluttering up someone else's space with buildings under construction. Then the "attack" would be needed.

The "attack" option is actually quite necessary, in particular against critters. Often I destroy these on sight if I'm against human, and sometimes even undead.

[cole]

Team killing is part of the game, you only get matched with them if your ell sucks and you suck.

[Monty]

Yeah, blocking happens a helluva lot. A tp into an ally's base (admittedly I hated tping in there with all their damn workers) can be a downright mess if they've walled everything in. I think it's to do with the character module size, which is way different to SC.
