They can't always see everything, or not react as fast as some forum members. (I love the efficiency of the mods though).
In most cases it actually helps them. We've had situations like 5 release date topics on the first page, if forum members don't try to keep it in one topic it's chaos untill a mod comes along and close several topics/merge them.

I personally find best thing to do is make the damage to teammates 1/4 or 1/2 of the regular damage, make the crosshair a color to symbolize it's teammate such as green or something, and have on radio guy saying 'Same team' or something.

pardon my ignorance, but are there online games you can do this in ?


W:ET had both "oops" and "sorry" vsays

Would be a good feature since accidents happen and people are idiots.

"oops" was used most when you tk'd yourself on someone's mine, or someone else did

I always turned complaint popups off in W:ET, stuff happens

WARNING! UNFITTING EMOTICON MOMENT!!!!!!

:cheat: :turtle: :cookie:

WHICH ONE OF THESE DONT BELONG!?!?!?

What is this thread linking thing you've started with, Revo?

Friendly Fire is off by default
on PC it'll be a server setting, on consoles probably host decision
it's not something you decide for yourself, it will affect all players

Is this all new to people ?

On the PC, people can buy and host servers with their own setting, yes, then they can choose friendly fire, even funny party hats and what-so-ever

On the console there wont be dedicated servers, only p2p servers, which just chooses the player with the best internet connection, and if the friendly fire is off by default, I really doubt it will be the hosts decision to choose friendly fire or not

I still don't think we got any solid intel on this matter :l

And I have no idea, is this new?

Uhh, hadn't a dev said that console players would chose their own settings - voice chat on/off, ff on/off - and automatically matched to people with the same settings. Unless, of course, you specifically joined an existing game, in which case the host's settings would take precedence (I assume)...

Is that so?

Shiet, that kinda splits the playerbase in like.. What, 3-6 pieces? Not counting in the magical X which is just joining something

Hopefully, there'd also be a 'I don't give a rat's ass' option too, so that if you don't care what settings have been applied you have a wider 'server pool'... ?

go read the skyrim forums right now. you can see the hate building. in six months time the admins will start closing down incidental forums as the server load gets unbearbaly slow to load and respond to posts. by the last week before skyrim;s release the hamsters who run the server will be drooling corpses on the it room's floortheir little hearts having given up from the level exertion needed to keep the servers going.

the onslaught is merciless and the meagre number of mods this community really has suffer greatly. ie check the numbers online now...3, plus a dev and an admin, compared to over 100,000 people posting into threads that are manually shut down at 10 pages. being a mod on elder scrolls is a hard job...especially when the next TES game is close.

in the last few weeks the server load will be insane with your connection to the server not assured at all. and it gets WORSE post release when the bugs and complaints start rolling in. their is enough hate in this small subset of TES fans that the ghost busters sewer would have exploded and averted the whole vigo problem entirely
