In PR you you don't know which enemy player killed you, so why are you notified which of your temamates kills you?

In war you don't get any notification on who is killing you unless someone spots them. Removing teamkill notifications might make a team more cautious and take their time in making a kill.

As for people who team-kill on purpose, they can still be spotted and no team-kill notification might make them stop team-killing on purpose since they will get nothing to their name showing up on screen for all to see.
They will not get the attention that they crave.

The main reason is to make PR more realistic - you got rid of enemy killing notification, so why not team-killing notification too?

yea , now i cant admin my clan server when the enemy team mass tk each other in main base and i see in chat all sorts of people complaining about tks but dont know who to believe because i cant see any tks.

tbh this is worst idea ive heard in along while. admin nightmare

Yes because grievers are really cautious when teamkilling their team en masse.
Haven't thought of this did you?

No, Gazz is right. ingame Admins need to be able to see the teamkill notification

This was removed in 0.3 IIRC. It led to smacktards TKing like crazy and nobody knew who was doing it.

That. What was the OP thinking?

Guys, constructive comments only please, even if they're negative. Just calling the OP stupid or whatever won't help anybody.

if you delay it until the player respawns like with the points? otherwise i think it wouldnt work.

I have to agree, this thread wasn't given many thoughts by thread starter.

Maybe only messages in the bottom left corner like You must JOIN A SQUAD, This kit is not available etc. Just show a message, You were teamkilled by MrD.

how about, onloy the TKed get a message and the TKer doesnt

I like the notification, it's nice.

This is a....different kinda request. Team-killing notification is like reporting an error. I see your point, but it doesn't help when an error has join the server.

Doubt this would work either... most tk's i do accidentally are when im turning my tank turret, moving my tank/vehicle etc. without the tk message i probably would often not even notice and hence not excuse. Now add one and one together and here you are punish-heaven.

In a way a team-kill notification is immersion breaking. A team-mate accidently snipes you from whatever distance and you knew automatically it was him. Could be an accident or could be deliberate. You cannot always tell in warafre who is firing at whom.

Maybe it could be that only if you are looking at the person who teamkills you it shows up on the screen, maybe only the commander could see it or/and admins.

fact is, i wanna see for myself who is tking as i admin the server

Though looong and hard about this one, It would be a complete admin nightmare...

The only way I could invision it working would be to.... whilest typing this I figured out that wouldn't work...

Ok take two... Only way this could work is if whilest an admin is on the server he gets notified however I think that'd be impossible to code...

Also when Admins aren't around the common player cant go to the forums reporting a TKing raging moron with a screenshot of the offence (which happens often)

I like where you're coming from with your idea but it'd be too difficult to implement well with the limits of the admin systemand would add very very minimal change to immersion and gameplay at what would ultimately be a greater cost to overall gameplay

I have to say with all the due respect that this idea fails. In a perfect world it would be great, but we do not live or play in a perfect world.

Jonny had a good idea.
Or just limit the kit request for X TK's for X minutes, like killing a civie.
Then if 4 TK's, the guy dies and spawns, at main.
