Get rid of the Auto-Logout already or make it an option in the menu.

Once again, they have access to numbers and we don't. Yoshi almost cried because of all the mess with early access and launch. For a grown man to almost cry, I'm sure he's not going to have that happen again. They added two new servers AND they upgraded the servers to be able to hold more people online at the same time.

I'm so glad this terrible system is being removed.

Everyone found ways to stay logged in regardless, but this is just going to make it that much more pleasant to wait for a duty and not be surprised by the main menu music instead the sound of the duty window popping up.

Having to change to a crafter and back again upon a ready duty was a chore. And the reset of abilities made the start of some of the fights more anoying than they should have been when you had to wait 10 minutes for an ability to recharge.

So thank you for this so much SE. One of the few major anoyances in this game taken care of.

Hello everyone,

Sorry to bump this older thread but, we wanted to let you know that in patch 2.2 we will be removing the auto-logout feature.

No!!! Why would you remove this? It was sorely needed!

There are still issues with server stress and queue times, and the PS4 release is just around the corner. This makes no sense.

AFKing indefinitely is bad for everyone.

Emphasis on "was", while some may debate this; SE did improvements on their datacenters, aside from that population has dwindeled to a point where this measure is not necesarry anymore.
Most of the times people do get to see queues can be accounted to the first minutes post maintenance where thousands of players try to reconnect to the game simultaniously.

The PS4 release is also not a solid reason, the PS4 release won't magically double the playerbase.
The biggest influx of PS4 players will be people that played PS3 before, aside from that some of the non-legacy servers have dropped to very low populations so I figure they'll try and funnel new PS4 players there.

Oh joy...So now everytime I go to any city or hub I get to have my frame rate plummet to nothingness so that people can leave their game running for no apparent reason! Yay! >.>
