Gearbox Comments on TK System

Posted by: Mhaddy at 13:45 PM 

On my daily forum rounds, I came across this thread on the Gearbox forums where Hellface from GB comments on a lot of the issues people have been having with the TK system implemented into 1.03. Here's what he had to say:

---

- We are looking seriously into the possibility that there is some way where a suicide could be a TK. There's some stuff on this forum about it, and we are trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on. This shouldn't happen, and if it is happening, we will work to fix it.

- We are considering ways to make the system more robust in the future to address the few concerns that some people have. We actually have a few ideas that are pretty exciting to us, but I'm going to hold off on talking about them until they are more clearly defined and we are sure we will actually impliment them.

- From the TK setting tweak thread, the only tweak I saw mentioned consistantly was that some server admins have lowered the cooldown time from 5 minutes to 3 or 4. This seems to work better for faster paced games and allows for looser gameplay, while still stopping most TKers.
