2min PvP kick

So uh.... I entered PvP... wait for it to start while on the internet... and got kicked because I hadn't the game on the foreground for less than 2 minutes....
Isn't that a bit excessive?

It is excessive, but I have confidence that this will be patched in the future. The kick timer needs to start when the barrier breaks, not before.

This 2min PVP timer has been in the game for awhile now, people who are only pvping for the Garo armor are the only ones bringing it up, it wont matter once you get your garo sets and be done with pvp will it?

You shouldn't be afk for that long if you're about to do any content. It's not a problem.

Happened to me once. Then I learned don't alt tab and browse internet while waiting for it to start.

It's not like I was trying to PvP before with its really appealing 40min+ waiting queue. If I PvP now it's because there actually is PvP. Not only for Garo.

Well i'm not afk, I just am on the internet while keeping an eye on the mini window's window from the menu bar of window. But that mini window doesn't allow me to see the system message that told me I was about to be kicked, and I didn't expect to get one because, well, 2 min, and it hasn't even started yet.

I actually agree that it's excessive if the barrier is still up. But I think the timer needs to be shortened or otherwise reworked so that people who just run around in circles at base get kicked out of maps too. Had several in my matches today and it's getting old. The kick timer comes up so late in the match that people are usually focused on other things.

So, here's the thing: the wall goes down after 2 minutes. The AFK timer is 2 minutes. That means that you only get kicked if:

1. You don't do anything after zoning in (no buffs, no mount, no nothing)
OR
2. You stay AFK after the wall drops

So, if you get kicked, yeah, you're AFK.

Edit: And, starting the timer AFTER the wall drops? Sorry, I don't need the first 2 minutes of the game to be with us down a person.

I've had enough matches lost by a mere 2 points that if you're not buffed, mounted, and autorunning into that wall to dive headfirst into the base (assuming Frontlines here) then I'm perfectly fine without that player here.
Something as simple as having your home base captured after the others is enough to lose and it's terrible :(

No. It wont change and it doesn't need to change.

That's not a tall order and it prevents you from starting a match with a bunch of AFK players (whom with your suggestion would take an additional 1-2 minutes to remove). Just nudge your controller or keybind every once in a while before the match starts and you're fine, the timer doesn't need to be adjusted.

Didn't think about that. Fair enough. I guess I'm just optimistic and don't assume many people deliberately afk, but even them taking 10 extra seconds to tab back in from Youtube is probably not a good thing.
