Institute Temporary AFK Kick Timer

[Ceol]

It wouldn't be that short of a time window, obviously...... >.> Usually it's about after an hour of being AFK when you get kicked. And you are not the only one paying for the game either.

An hour? So I guess if I want to make dinner, I get kicked off? Or if I take a longer shower? Or run out to get carry out for dinner? Or the myriad of other activities that could take an hour but don't mean that I'm done playing for the night?

And all this just to solve a problem that won't exist in a month? A problem that really isn't a problem in the first place, since the number of AFK people is ridiculously small? A problem you all have latched on to as the One True Reason™ we can't get on, despite having absolutely no evidence?

Cripes, I hope SE doesn't take you seriously.

there is a login queue and the hell with afk kick timer, i dont want to be kicked just be cause i go afk for 15-30 min. I plan to pay for this game but if I get kicked even once while I am afk even if its 24 hours I'm out. Subscribing to the game means for me i can play when I want and how much I want. How I use my time online is none of anyone's business.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here, but I'm willing to bet you've never seen this. You may find it informative.

How could you not have an AFK kick in an online game like this? AFK (away from keyboard) no keyboard activity for 30 minutes for example and you get disconnected...instead everyone just stays logged in.And people who paid for the game and cant login get frustrated and quit..Sorry gonna pull my sub and unsub.........Can't deal with Incompetent people in real life Let alone a game maker who is stupid as mud.

Stop telling people you care about this issue and will take care of it at a later date. If you really cared about the AFK issues you would have done rolling server restarts during low points of each regions population spikes. People have now held spots for days at this point. Since your too lazy to give your players/customers the common courtesy of an auto-kick AFK system even though there is no player based bazaar outside the AH system, the least you can do is stop being a total jackass and manually flush off people abusing the lack of AFK auto-kick. You have been punishing players for being considerate, and logging out when they are not playing as to give someone else a chance.

Greetings, everyone.

I know that the topic of users idling for long periods of time has become quite the hot topic due to the current login limitations. I wanted to let you know that the development team is aware of the discussions going on by users.

Currently, the implementation of a feature that would automatically disconnect a user who is idle for a specific amount of time is something that will be investigated once the currently announced plans and adjustments have been completed. Once that is in place,we'll be able to see a clearer picture of the concurrency numbers and get a better understanding of what steps need to be taken next.

I know that this is a "we'll need to wait and see and investigate," but it's important that we let you know where we currently stand on the topic.

You guys have to add this before your plans to increase server capacity. It's supposed to be what keeps people trying until the issue is fixed. Your statement implies that your plans may not even fix the issue. And if it doesn't, that's completely unacceptable

Thanks for commenting on the issue, but it doesn't help those of us who either haven't gotten to play at all (I have been fortunate enough to get some playing in) or stuck behind repeated 1017 for hours and hours on end. This needs action ASAP.

They still haven't even mentioned the 1017 problem with login queues not working. Is it one of the "lesser" problems they keep talking about? Because it's the only bug I've been encountering and I've been seeing it since early access first started -.-

The 1017 is not a problem. It's functioning as intended. You cannot have a login Queue if there is not a single space open on the server. 1017 means literally every slot on the server is in use.
