which they disable enemy damage as well...

terrible idea. Sael_: Yes you still can, it's a mechanic that has been left in the
game. You will acquire the team-killer status in these cases: -
Stunning an ally with SPG; - Flipping an ally upside down and they
blow up; - Flooding an ally tank; - An ally dies after having
fallen from a cliff after you ram them down. So:

Nethraniel, on 10 July 2019 - 01:32 PM, said: Oh, and does that also involve self-inflicted HE damage?Sael_: It shouldn't happen anymore, but more data to come on the
subject.
Schepel, on 10 July 2019 - 02:30 PM, said: Bad idea all round. This will allow people to sabotage their teams
in different ways than before, but the end result won't change. FL
was a showcase of what people can (and will) do: - Push
friendlies around. - Deliberately block friendly shots to stop
people from getting kills or dealing damage. - Repeatedly shoot
friendlies in order to annoy them: the impact sound distracts.Sael_: The impact sound may be distracting, but at least now it
doesn't come with HP losses anymore. Players have already been
abusing game mechanics with the friendly fire system being up. They
are still going to get punished for bad behavior, as you can still
report them and in some cases they will still be flagged as
team-killers by the system. Quoting this to highlight
something important:
OmniWalou, on 10 July 2019 - 03:25 PM, said: Just to spread the knowledge even more, they do punish
trolls (as in people who abuse physics, push you out in front of
enemies or block you). Just remember that it has to be unprovoked.
And those trolls will be the ones who will get punished if
reported. [...] I put the 'unprovoked' part and all that in just to
remind that support will not punish people if their actions were
after provocation, which is completely, 100% right from support to
do.Sael_: And just to say, one doesn't need to have billions of games
to know this, it's WG policy knowledge, not strictly game
mechanics.
Gremlin182, on 10 July 2019 - 03:47 PM, said: Does this really need a common test ? The idea is good and
fixes a number of problemsSael_: All ideas, especially major changes in the game mechanics,
should be tested thoroughly before being introduced. It doesn't
matter how good an idea seems, the effects on application should
still be verified.
Old_Pierre, on 10 July 2019 - 03:48 PM, said: This is easily worst idea this year. Nothing will prevent
pushing, ramming trolling, camping on red line ... And it's
unrealistic, but this game is miles from realistic so who cares,
Result will be that players will get annoyed by trolls and
just leave WoT. There are other games on market ...Sael_: Maybe disabling friendly fire won't prevent all types of
trolling, but at least you will not have the kind that chips at
your HP or deliberately destroys your vehicle anymore. And, is a
scenario where allied forces would shoot each other on the
battlefield to settle quarrels really realistic? Trolls and trolling have always existed in the game and
exist already in other games. Anything on the internet will
experience the presence of trolls. Doesn't really look like a
sudden reason to abandon WoT.

Sael_: Then I'm afraid this is the wrong game for you.
Horcan, on 10 July 2019 - 03:58 PM, said: Not going to be able to shoot him to make him understand his job is
to spot, not guard artilleries?Sael_: Well you still can shoot allies, they get a sound and a
light and a decal on the tank. What they (and consequently the
team) don't get is their HP taken away, which will result in your
team staying competitive, believe it or not. You may think that
this keeps them useless and ignorant, but what you had before would
have been an ally that doesn't know how to play and, due to the
warning shot, has now less HP to spend to try and win the battle.
I'm not saying that they shouldn't learn, don't get me wrong - just
that there are more constructive ways to teach.
