Is it really asking too much

[Catrah]

For them to just restart the servers every morning at like 8 am? Boots all afkers while they're asleep and gives everyone a chance to get back in the game. Right now since its a 3 day weekend, no one is logging out over night and now no ones really getting in since most people are just afk

I think they need to implement some sort of AFK system. Like if you are AFK for 15-30 minutes it boots you out.

Yes. Booting everyone at once results in thousands of players all slamming the login servers at once to get back in. The simple, obvious, wtf is wrong with you SE question to be asking is why is there no AFK timeout.

Afk-logout would probably help for a day, then people would just bot or use a device to keep an action going.

I like the daily reboot option until things get fixed. I suppose this option could put strain on the login, but anywho...

The anti-idle thing doesn't really work either. As for DPS waiting on Duty finder sometimes you queue and go afk for a bit while waiting since it takes 15+ minutes at times to get in a group.

is it to much to ask people to stop QQing. they posted that they are aware of the problem and they are fixing it and that it will be ready early this week. probably Monday or Tuesday. If thats not enough info for you to be assured it will be fixed, how about they are also giving us 7 free days to make up for some of the down time we had since last tuesday. and i say down time as in people not able to log since the servers really havent been down.

They could space out each world though, boot everyone on 1 world then hour later do the next, this way only a minimum amount of people are login in back in at once, doing this won't cause an over excessive strain on the servers.

Another note, I see problems with people logging on lasting longer than just till Monday or Tuesday, the full servers isn't the only problem they're having . I see this last at least a month.

simple temp fix to people not logging out. and it can't really be that much more stressful on the login servers than everyone slamming them constantly for hours trying to login since no one is getting off since they're afk anyways.

then 25 hours later all the servers have finally been restarted? This is a horrible idea. they are doing what needs to be done to fix these issue no need for anti afk no need for restarting the servers.... the issue will be resolved when the new hardware is online and server upgrades are completed.

It works for World of Warcraft, why wouldn't it work for this game.

In WoW you stay AFK for 20 minutes you get logged out.
