Furystorm Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Nowaways I can see afk gaylords too oftern. Dudes just AFK for the whole game from the start, or do this - My team loose, so I go AFK until base is dead. Pls make smth like - i person doesnt make any actions for 5 min, he looses his hero, and his team give +7% bonus as if he left. Or AFK kickvote or smth Starts manually, only teammembers vote, and this can be disabled by person, smth like dialogue window or type text, which will be randomly displayed on that person's screen. Update, quick overview of the suggestion: "-afkvotekick <playername>" 1 - Initiated by teammember, not automatic. 2 - Only teammates vote. 2 - Check for some actions done for the last 5 minutes (maybe damage to enemies, healing allies etc) 3 - You have to respond to anti-afk msg not to be kicked (now the idea is about few random symbols) So it's hard to be abused.

ginosaji Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Agreed, there's no reason I can think of not to make some mechanism to address at least the most egregious Afk-ers. I like the idea of timed inactive kick vote. I agree with 5 minute vote, but even a 10 minute vote would help those late game trolls.

Qlx Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I can think of a counter argu...no i can't. Must be implemented soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akanna Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 this has been argued over a million times, and the truth is it simply cant be automated, it has to be player initiated because some teams are ok with someone leaving for a period of time if they clear it with everyone, and we are not NAZIs ;) Make an in game "-votekick <playername>" it solves everything and can be used to stop feeders/trolls too problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyresis Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Ideally this wouldnt need to be implemented, but i guess is isnt an ideal world is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Ummm, there is already another votekick thread going on, since it would be along the same lines, may I suggest taking the argument there? But, onto this, 5 minutes is WAAAAAY too short, what if something quickly comes up, sometimes, you have to answer the door and talk to the person (or an unexpected visitor). I really doubt that anything like this would actually be needed, if someone goes AFK, well, its something we will have to live with considering that AFKing is way too common for a short period of time. I don't believe anything should be implemented to make one forcibly leave this game (it is one reason I really enjoy it). Hubert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe anything should be implemented to make one forcibly leave this game (it is one reason I really enjoy it). As told - solution is simple. Smth like "-afkkickvote" command. Starts manually, only teammembers vote, and this can be disabled by person, smth like dialogue window or type text, which will be randomly displayed on that person's screen. The text must be random, so this gaylords dont make smth like macro to avoid kick. Maybe add some option, that there are no actions from this person (dont know if game engine allows to check this). But still I think I offered nice solution. For 5 minutes being too short - It's only your problem, 5 minutes is perfect time. You can even go to WC for a big deal))) If you dont play more then 5 minutes you make your team weaker. Still, you can ask you team not to kick you, and this will be their option. If you are good played most likely you wount be kicked. In other case - gtfo and play next game without afk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSeS Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I agree with this. The idea is not to start a votekick option. That's too simple and can be used in mean ways to rage-votekick members and dismember teams. The idea is to start a AKFvotekick option. It should be optional for players (vote is needed for kicking the afk member) but that player should have the option to say "im not completly afk, just need some time (or something like that)", wait a bit and I will be playing with you again. That could be super usefull and with no bad consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furystorm Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 "im not completly afk, just need some time (or something like that)", wait a bit and I will be playing with you again.

Furystorm Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Any respond from devs pls? More and more afkgaylords appear every day. And new idea - 300 rating if you are being afk kicked)) Dunno why is rating used, but still)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsights Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 well, an auto-kick would be easy to defeat. I'd just put my guy on Patrol in the pool... Im still "making actions" and not even micro could get me out cause the toon would try to return to patrol as soon as he could...would be pretty boss trolling actually. A -vote kick (player name) would be more useful...but still really abusable... I dont really know. Reaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there is one sitting in the pool without items from the beginning, the whole game long... So, even if this AFK-kick doesn't handle with all these trolls, it will still work in many cases.

Legacy Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Anti-AFK could have been implemented in a fair manner 2 years ago when SOTIS came out. But since it wasnt then, what makes you guys think they will implement now. It will NEVER happen so lets just face it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 like suggested, implement it so it both has to be inactivity as well as team mates voting a person for kick, then it can't be abused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
