Suggestion: Remove AFK timer on dungeons, or Command Missions.

[Olivia0x25]

Can we please remove the afk timer?

I am disabled. I have a disease that causes me to frequently visit the rest room. I maybe gone for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Because of this, I'm getting kicked out of my Command missions. This is makes me lose seals, and valuable EXP to leveling up other jobs.

I find it incredibly unfair, especially if I'm doing solo play to be punished all because of my disability that I have no control over.

Please remove the AFK timer on dungeons, or at least in solo play.


Some of us need more than the allotted 10 minutes.

I 100% support removing the AFK autokick from solo content and pre-formed party content, because it really doesn't matter if someone is AFK in solo content, and pre-formed party content doesn't fill vacated slots anyway.

It needs to stay for matched content though, so that people don't have to waste their Vote Kick, which has a 4 hour cooldown.

Unfortunately, they still require an instance server. If somebody AFKs overnight, that's an instance server being used that active players could be using.

Non-issue. That's why instances have time limits.

I think the timer should be increased.

afaik all duties use server resources that could be used to host other players in duties. that would make this a big no.

its the same reason there is an afk kick in the firmament, and during patch releases. if you aren't present you are taking up space others could be using.

Could you do something like tape down a key or put rubber bands on your controller so the game is detecting input and movement while you're away?

Is typing text enough to count as input?

The game checks for changes in input states. It's not enough to press and hold an input.

there...would be ways around this but they cannot be talked about in game or the forums.

you might be able to talk to SE support, they might have an idea for you.

be creative.

They can't afk all night, there's a 90 minute instance timer.

I've been bumped out of a couple of Trust instances because of this. Usually if I'm running a Trust it's because I've exhausted other easy sources of XP for the day AND I'm having to semi-AFK for some RL reason. It's annoying but if there's a good back-end reason for it (server resources) than I'm okay with whatever the rule is.
