afk booting issues

[Allegretto]

I get that for server performances we get afk booted after a while.

But I would appreciate if the logging cinematic music would stop blasting my speaker every time i get booted.

Like, i take a small break to do a few chores and then I hear a big thundering sound coming from computer room that is easily heard from all across the house. Its particularly annoying if I am unable to turn it off at that moment. (In bath, toilet, etc)

Make an option to turn off the intro music from the system options?

You could always... I dunno... log off and shut down the game if you anticipate being away long enough to get afk booted. I mean I am pretty sure the timer is 30 minutes of inactivity. If you're going to be gone long enough for it kick you why not just preemptively log off and eliminate the inevitable blare of music?

If you're going to take a "small break" then just log off. I get that you want to avoid a queue when you come back, but if you're getting afk kicked frequently enough for the login music to be an issue, maybe you really should just log off for those breaks because either way you're ending up back in a queue.

you can always fake craft or hug something to prevent you from getting the afk boot.

Or, alternatively...turn off your speakers? Mute your audio? There are tons of ways to NOT have it blast when you decide to AFK, and could potentially be booted to the title screen

if you “use” an aetheryte or a summoning bell you can avoid being logged out.

This has happened many times to me before. It was humorous at first but quickly became an annoying.

Now you got to remember that the afk measure is actually temporary so implementing this config option is moot. Best thing you can do until afk booting is removed is to simply turn of your audio peripherals/functions when you leave your game.

I just minimise my game and have my audio settings set to mute game sounds whilst window is inactive. That way I don't hear the game sounds whilst I'm afking. Either that or I mute my sound entirely if I'm afk for a lot longer. I can't be bothered with logging in and out all the time, if I stay logged in, when I'm ready to play again all I have to do is select my character and wait a short while in a queue.

So your ingame sound and speakers are so cranked up during gameplay that it can be heard across the house.
Then you have some trailer playing and suddenly it is an annoyance. Huh?

Just queue for BCOB There is no way you are getting in accidentally, and you can AFK without boot as the game doesn't boot you if you AFK while in queue.
