For everyone calling for an increase to friendly fire damage | Forums

[nyrue]

But you see, it works both ways. How many times have you been about to kill someone when your ally comes along and staggers you, which results in your death anyway? You may just be about to land that heavy for an execution and then the "hapless" ally comes along, either kills you due to friendly fire been increased or damages you so your opponent only has to sneeze and your dead. Or even better, you just killed an opponent in Dominion at B, and the above scenario happens. The minion soldiers would have a field day.

I'd rather fight two opponents by myself any day because I know I can take them on by myself and still win, but when I see a teammate come running over I despair.

i'm well aware of this, and I still believe FF damage should do at least 75% of the original attack,

As I wrote elsewhere: in every gameplay change you propose, you have to keep the balance in mind, even if it's a change applying to all heroes...

Let's not forget that some heroes are more likely to cause friendly fire than others: long range heroes because a friendly can get between them and their enemy; and heroes relying heavily on their zone attack for "normal" combat (not surronded by soldiers). Given the current state of balance, I wouldn't like something that looks too much like a nerf to the Nobushi or the Orochi, for instance.

In my opinion, friendly fire damage should not be increased.

There is no realism in 4 people staying up eachother asses, and swinging away with huge melee weapons and not doing damage to eachother. Full friendly fire will help with gamming, it will make the game more realistic. The people that kill their own teammates penalize themselves because it will likely cost them the overall match.

What they should implement though is losing score each time you hit or kill your own team mate and loosing kill count to balance it out.

Example each strike on a team mate costs you 2 points. A kill costs you 50 points off your score and you lose 1 takedown.

there is no other solution than increase friendly fire. by doing so YES. people that actually want to enjoy the game will take more care of their position. YES you will think twice before attacking in a 4v1 situation (imagine 4 raiders agains whoever you want, all doing or spamming or timing or whatever theyr unblockable. sure you will say "parry/block one and you parry/block all of them. but there are other situations... taking to long to write). and YES there will be people that will try and kill theyr teammates just for fun. but :
1. that will grow old rather quick because no IDIOT would spend 60 $ to kill theyr teammates and do nothing with the game, when you can kill enemyes and do something with the money spent on the game.
2. theyll be busy fighting enemyes to actually try and kill you and trying to hitt a team mate its rather hard than easy except for when youre locked on to an enemy and hitting the teammate next to you fighting the same enemy.
3. if there s an ******* like that on the game beside the fact that theyll face the enemy its possible that the other 3 /2/ logical players will kick the **** out of that those guys untill they quit (=quit penalty).
4. no player will stay and take hits from an ally as an idiot,they;; either hitt back untill that player realise hes a ******, or runn to fight an opponent and either the opponent will kick him to or find an oponent and leave him so he can fight the ally ******.
5. it will give oportunityes for better defens.
6. having penalty on your own healt pool is rather an idiotic thing to do fromt he get go.
(7). excuse my bad writing gramar (im saying this so i wont hear comments like "ooo your gramar's so stupid bla bla bla..."

Again I have to say it. People will not care what so ever how much damage they are doing to you. They will not even notice how much health you have left.
You are fighting someone and all your team will see is that flashing red bar on the enemy's health pool and come running in. When I'm low health and about to execute someone, wouldn't a good team mate let me have the kill? So many times I've said in game chat "dude, look at my health I needed that kill/execution" and they'd say "oh sorry, I didn't see your health bar" or b. "Whatever, suck it up"

A. This means majority of the time your team isn't even focusing on your health, so why should they now? That extra hit from them can kill you an they wouldn't even realise because nothing penalises them for it. Too many times have I been killed by a team mate, and they run off not even realising I'm dead or just plain trolling.
B. The amount of wankers in this community is huge, a large amount of people will kill you and simply not care because they believe they are gods gift to For Honor and can take the entire enemy team on alone.

I Garuntee if friendly fire is introduced into FH without any penalties to the offender, all of you will be saying Wow! a lot more often.

They will care. thats what im trying to say. they will care because theres not just them who will kill you you will allso kill them. so if someone interferes while you fight an enemy witout lookig where hes positioned, he will most likeli get hit a lot. (in case of mega stupidity, after a few friendly fire hits maybe penalty to hes own healt) + friendly fire will ad another tone of realism to the game (yea i know. its just a game...) and eventually people will learn that it sucks to not pay attention to the fight and will actually try to help in a 2,3,4 v 1 instead of random hitting to steal kills and other stuff. the ideea is not perfect, it surely needs more atention and twick, but its a must.

[ChampionRuby50g]

No, I won't be killing my team mates because it seems I'm One of the only people here with any sense.
I already know how frustrating it is to have my attacks interrupted or been killed by a team mate so why would I go and swing side heavys next to them? Increasing FF is going to do nothing. It will not add realism because if we are been realistic, I'm pretty sure that the Vikings of old wouldn't have been killing each other when they are fighting a common enemy?

Man you just gave yourself a reply better than i could eved give you that proves my point.
you know how frustrating it is because you take kare of wnere your at and not attacking like the rest of the idiots, because you ve been killed and so and so.
implementing FF will open other peoples brains and make them realise the same thing you stated you know (because they to will die more often and realise what is wrong with that. and grow as a comunity):
