Why does it still only do friendly damage?

friendly fire was enabled for tournaments. The CTF/DD system and the other events have not been looked at. While there are a lot of good suggestions for changes to events, it's just not been able to make it up the priority ladder due to other outstanding issues :/

[marmalade]

it only does friendly damage?!? or does it do damage to everyone like it should?

[son]

It only does friendly damage, people spam eq all day during ctf

[marmalade]

thats dumb. it should work the way it works out of events, doing damage to everyone.

[Grom]

are you wording that right, or do you mean why does EQ not do friendly fire in CTF. Unless by friendly damage you don't mean doing damage to friendlies, you mean damage that's friendly, and only attacks enemies (an unusual way to word it).

Everytime I've joined CTF the complaint seems to be that EQ doesn't do friendly fire, and people end up spamming it since it's so powerful, hits tons of enemies, and doesn't have the normal risk of damaging players on your team.

It would make more sense to disable it for ctf, if they enabled friendly fire in CTF it could lead to a lot of idiots getting their own teams killed. Disable aoe spells (EQ and Meteor) for CTF imo.

yea that a good point, i forgot about that argument.

im not entirely sure how it works at the moment. it used to be that it only did damage to enemy team members and i thought they changed it so that it did damage to enemy and friendly team members.

Im saying it only damages oposite team. It should do damage to everyone just like it would on the field.

That change was made to tournaments which was a different system.

I think the intent was to keep the no friendly fire, and then disable AOE spells in CTF/DD, I'll try to sneak this in soon.

keep the AOE spells, it makes the CTF/DD more exciting and not always the same written story ...

is son rj? and is he the girl or the dude im just wondring

[BlackFoot]

earthquake is the only spell that has sucha massive impact, other ae spells are pretty good, the firewalls, poison fields, chain lihgtenings etc

[son]

Keep AOE spells just dont alter how they work in CTF. It should be as it is in the field. EQ has been altered, restore to orignal.
