Request: Boot inactive players so active players can log in

[Durakael]

If it's over an hour, I would fully support kicking AFK people. 15/30 minutes, not so much. I play while I can, but when I have to do something like cooking dinner real quick, or if I had an especially large amount of Taco Bell for lunch, I wouldn't want to worry about having been kicked after 15min. Sometimes duty finder itself can take a little while and I may take that opportunity to get something else done while keeping a frequent eye on the screen.

Personally, I'd like to see SE implement a faster report system for gilsellers that are already populating the game as opposed to the reporting "form." That, plus quicker review times for such reports so that gilsellers could get booted (and muted) faster, allowing another slot for "good" players to fill.

Taco Bell does it for you, eh? It's Chipotle for me

Taco Bell owns Chipotle, it's like the midpoint between Taco Bell and the restaurant from the movie Demolition Man. I take my ladies there when I want to go somewhere special... when I have coupons.

IMO, fix the queue system, and toss in a 30 min inactive timer. Pop a box up or send a message to their chat window "You have been inactive for 25 minutes, and will be logged off if you do not resume activity" or something along those lines.

I'd hop on the "kick inactives" bandwagon, but even if they did, the servers would still be jam packed. If they fixed queues, I'd almost bet a lot of people wouldn't even bother leaving their game running 20 hours+ and would log off knowing they could at least get in.

No ones fault but SE right now.

Has this issue been even looked at? i cant log in the game because of the server being "Full" wtf...... i thought they were supposed to have only allowed the max to be in each world not over the max...... i want to play GDI!!!!!!!

You do realize why they don't have an AFK boot timer right? Since they have the inn rooms players can simply put something down on the direction keypad on the keyboard or uses a rubberband on their console controller to have constant movement, no one can report cause no one can get inside the inn room, so yeah this is probably why they didn't bother with it, you can't report what you can see.

Your current policy of never booting inactive players is causing many of the server stability issues that you are experiencing. Locking the servers so people who are actually at their keyboards can't log in is causing frustration and is not a resolution to the issue.

Boot players who are inactive longer than an hour. This will solve many of the problems.

I was just coming here to say this. Seriously, I have passed so many players who have not moved in FIVE HOURS. Servers are full and I can't log in to my main (the old 1017 demon) and had to create characters on another server just to play. I can't even CREATE characters on the server I intend to play on with my friends and haven't been able to since early access because people will not log out... and there are numerous threads on other gaming forums where people are bragging about staying logged in for days at a time, while at work, sleeping, you name it and encouraging others to do likewise--which is preventing players who are at the keyboard, legitimately playing the game from, you know, actually even getting logged in to play the game!

Come on, SE, this is common sense, and an hour is three times longer than the most generous inactivity timer. This is bloody ridiculous.

Alot of players go afk ANYWHERE.. I see hundreds of them at night facing mountains in PvE areas lol.

Yeah but if they implement a AFK boot they will just hide in the inn rooms, if they add AFK boot they need to either add something specifically to boot anyone in the inn room after an hour of turn the inn room into more of a menu based interaction, without giving the option to move around inside, both Im assuming will be difficult to code into the game at this point in time, since it would basically be changing a major functionality, so ya I wouldn't hold my breath on a booter that actually works anytime soon :/

I would love to see this implemented ASAP.
