Will auto log out be reinstated for the expansion?

[Solaria_Luna]

I wonder if the all or most of the sound when I've been away/playing a while is the game telling me to get out of there (aka log out). (though most of the time it happens when I'm afk)

[BunnyChain]

@OP: It will be. Sometime by the end of EA, in a quick 3h emergency maintenance.

(I have a feeling I'll have plenty of time to finish Witcher 3 during EA.)

Seems like a necessary evil.
I play on Balmung so I'm already dreading Login Queues and Error 90000 (90001, 90002, etc).
When Gold Saucer first came out, that place was on total lockdown. I imagine certain locations will be the same. Imagine if you couldn't even get into the zones for FATE parties?

They should have never done away with it in the first place....

Were maps really that packed during EA for 2.0? I don't remember not being able to get into certain zones.

They should be brought back, as early access is going to be insanely hard to log onto if its anything ARR was.

Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks.

That is all.

Depending on how the game's running, Ex: Can't log in, error<insert number here> world is full. I'm just gonna go afk in my FC room with a AHK jumping loop.

I hope they bring back the 30min afk auto-boot >->
It was really frustrating at release week trying to login for up to an hour and seeing 15-20 afk people in one screen ZZZZZ

So all the people saying "I hope not, it's so annoying" must not have been around at 2.0s EA period...

I personally don't care about the auto-logout one way or another but if the same issues pop up that did before, there's gonna be a whoooole lot of people who are going to wish it was there.

Queues weren't why people would stay logged in forever during 2.0s launch. It was because it took for freaking ever just to get a stable connection to the server so once you had it you'd stay logged in so that you didn't have to deal with the hour+ login/error/login/error fest that was 2.0s EA.

For HWs EA you now get to add an actual population queue... Let's just pray they actually learned something from launch because if not, whoa man we're in for good times!
