New and Noticable TK announcement please

[ROII4Me]

I apologize for any TK even if someone ran in front of me while I was firing on an enemy position - if I know I did it.

Twice now I have ended up with negative red points due to TKs that I did not know I had committed.

I simply do not have time to wait 5 seconds to see if I got a kill or if someone else did so I almost never look at that update bar.

I would love it if TK notices were instant, not delayed five seconds like normal kills.

Even better would be to have them appear in bright red, or even in the center of the screen so I could not miss them.

"BROTHER NO! HE'S ON OUR SIDE!!!"

I like the delay if its over 50 yards out. Its just the same as killing an enemy from a far distance. Be like yes I got him, wait what? That was a friendly? It really adds to the anticipation.

PS: I can understand team mates assaulting to retake a position, but when they get over there, then start sneaking around like an enemy player would to get into a position to fire on the objective we're defending, then start shooting in our direction, while shadowed, its really easy to make a FF mistake

I would rather have NO indication that I got an enemy kill. It is more realistic to not know you got the kill if the guy dies behind cover and you have to wonder.

I can go to the F1 menu to see how my kills are.

The delay has me never looking at all anyway. My concern is with knowing when I TK'd. Friendly fire happens, I just want to be able to say Sorry since many people will not "np" a TK unless you say Sorry.

But now I am reading that the forgiving TKs may not even be working in RO2 anyway.

Big red text in the centre of the screen?

Hellz no.... people hated that when "WEAPON SHOT OUT OF HAND" popped up in the middle of your screen..... Doing that would only obstruct your vision on the battlefield and rather than just TK'ing, you'll probably end up dead as well... which helps nobody.

In regards to your first set of comments about - Points and TK's you didn't know of, they might not have been TK's.

If you switch to a different class while spawned, you usually die via a Suicide which represents -2 points on your head. If I remember correctly, those add to your honor dropping by two points as well.

Other times if you call in Arty or shoot a team mate & wound them from either.... they may not die and continue on fighting for another good 5-10 minutes before getting killed by the enemy.... but when they do get killed, you still get -1 points for each player you wounded and thus, contributed to the enemy killing them.

In those cases, they never show who it was that was killed or who you wounded. You just get a -1 point in the top right of the screen.

For me, the system works just fine.... I know when I TK by listening to what my team or my character says, as well as the pop ups in the top right.... there's more than enough to tell me what I did.

I agree with Cpt-Praxius as there is rather too much information going on already for my taste even in realism mode
