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.

I like to do a bit of chores with the game sound on. Loggin queue time aren't bothering me as much as entering the one-time use password . And a 30 min break goes FAST.

Sure, he can work around it - OR SE stops increasing the sound of their horrible intro video I don't care about ? How about an OPTION to disable it?

No! I say make it ever louder! Squeenix didn't increase it enough, I want to hear "HOME, RIDING HOME" from across the planet!

"HOOOOO, LALI-HOOOOO!"

I admit it's funny they increased the volume.

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.

I look forward to them fixing this. We wouldn't have login queues if people weren't doing stuff like this.
