Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[AsahinaMyLove]

About these Afkers "crafting" or staring at NPCs or MB etc... Why not a kind of countdown? IF People there Avatar dont move a tiny bit for 10-30mins (or go on Auto Walk or Macro jump) a pop up window shows up with a 20sec countdown! Its says like "Your charackter havent move for a while! To lessens server stress You will be logged out Automaticly if you dont click the 'Im active' button" <.<

Exactly this. My friend got home from work at 9pm, sit down then suddenly notification pop. 1 hour to NOT DO ANYTHING.
And now he has to get on at 10pm and go to bed at 3am (instead of 1am) because our usual static have to suspend activities for 2 hours.

Thanks for nothing, balmung and gilgamesh.

Why do you have to suspend activities for 2 hours for a 10 minute downtime? You can still play up until the time the servers go down for 10 minutes, this is being really dramatic

Because the 10 mins downtime happens on our break for personal dailies and we don't want to risk losing our run in middle of 1hour logout time.

Guys, it's really important this players static doesn't get interrupted for 10 mins. I know there are apparently thousands of players not getting to play at all. But we don't want to inconvenience this guy and his static.

I'm giving an example how bad it is. A lot of people are affected and many seem to think it's okay. It's not okay at all.

It's not just about statics. When you're queuing solo as a DPS, it's easy for queues to go upward of 30 minutes or longer. Why bother waiting in a queue when the notification pops, because even if you do get in, what if you don't finish the duty anyways? Then you get kicked out and have to requeue after you beat the mass login queue that does happen.

39 pages, and nobody has explained why this shouldn't just be Balmung only. This literally isn't a thing that mattered on any other server.

I mean, if this is good for Balmung players -- and sounds like it is -- then great!

But this is pointless on most other servers. This just means there will now be a random period when we're all booted for 10 minutes. That isn't a good thing! There is no reason for that to happen on normally populated servers.

It already does that. If you're AFK for 30 minutes, you get a pop up telling you will be logged out in 20 seconds. But they just used the same command as you use to log out yourself with system->log out. Try to craft or whatever, and then try to manually log out. You get an error message saying that you can't do that right now. That's exactly the same thing that happens with the AFK auto log out when you're crafting or interacting with stuff. AFKers don't get kicked off while crafting, talking to an NPC, etc because the game is set up to not let you log out at those times.

It still does not change the fact that a lot of servers dont even need this forced log out because they dont need to wait. So why not do this only for the biggest servers and let all the other just play? If you have no problems logging in and have to wait a certain time to even do anything instanced thanks to being a DPS and have to wait 10 minutes on top of maybe a sudden queue that was not here before and after that have to wait again for the next Instance while fearing that the servers might not manage it and kick one out. If you only have a certain amount of hours to play this could make it even impossible to do some dungeons..

So maybe SE should do this for the bigger ones (but its still only a band-aid..) and leaves the servers that dont have a problem alone..

100% servers crash and they go "what?! how did this happen? 3,000 people logging in all at the SAME FUCKING TIME?! It's like launch day all over again!"
