| Author | Group battles - avoid AFK |
|---|
Just a little suggestion for group battles to avoid AFK players: after having all players for a group batttle it would be nice to have everyone click a button to "confirm" the battle.
This ensures that everyone is there on game start.
Reason: my 1st and 3rd group battles in this game turned out to have AFK players which makes the battle no fun. So, while group battles can be great, sometimes it is VERY annoying. |
At this time, there is no real solution to this problem.
And being there on game start doesn't mean staying 'til the end... |
The only "solution" I have found so far is to set up a guild to gather non-AFK players:

So, if someones join the guild and get caught AFK, he's kicked out. As simple as that. |
maybe a bigger penalty like gold and even exp heres a example
lvl 1
-400 gold and -500 xp
lvl 2
-800 gold and -1000 xp
lvl 3
-1200 gold and -2000 xp
lvl 4
-2400 gold and -5000 xp
lvl 5
-5000 gold and -10,000xp
and onward i think then ppl will think again to go afk realy 99% of all my battles i lost is because afkers
if they dont have to pay any thing they will keep doing it
and also i want to point out there are scammers starting games like 2v2 and they have 3 friends 2 on 1 team and 1 on the other side then they wait for a unlucky person and he gets killed and the 3 friends get more exp because they cant lose its bascally 1 vs 2.
i think those ''scammers'' should get a bigger penalty then normal like -1 whole lvl |
About the penalty thing, it's no good. Real life comes in first hand. Many people playing this are adults. You don't think they'd leave thier bleeding child for a battle? (Just a example)
Afkers are REALLY annoying and as yamaneko said; There's no real solution to this problem. |
| I too believe there should be a much bigger loss for going AFK, now I do understand that life comes first but with the frequency that I come across of AFK'ers in group battles as well as Hunting Assists I don't think that it's due to real life emergencies. Most people I have polled say that about 75% of there group fights have an AFK in it, that's a whole lot of emergencies. |
| I don't think punishing players for leaving is the way to go. An afk-penalty would strike those with connection troubles or RL emergencies as well. Maybe there could be some disconnect protection system, where the AI takes over your troops if you idle out? Usable only 3 (?) times per day, after which you'd be prevented to do PvP battles until next day? |
There needs to be a button, that allows the team members to kick out an afk player.
Which in turn would end the battle resulting in no loss for either side. This way no penalty to AFK'ers that isnt harsh. And no wait time to restore to the sad victims of an AFK'er. |
scarboni,
i think then no groupbattle will ever been lost anymore,
oh, we are losing?
lets hit the panic button |
| I personally like Xeno's idea, that is really the only solution i think could work |
Mirz
It would only be able to be done on the first or second turn. If someone AFK's after the first or second turn thats fine. Im tired of the AFK'ers who dont even play one round.
Wouldnt be a problem at all then. |
Nah i know lots are adults but they dont act like it joining a game then going away yea thats real mature not.
lets try it at work hey boss il do that then turns away and goes home
so the only way to stop them from going away or afk is to give em hardcore penalty`s
if you have to go atleast mail the ppl in that game have respect or your not worth respect
and xeno`s idea is ok too but you can only go afk 1 time and the not joining pvp battles should be a week not a day |
What about a [B]option[\B] for 15 second turns?
Even if he is afk, 15 seconds isn't that long a wait. Maybe make it 20, what do you think? |
AFK penalty should be no multiplay options for X hours depending on frequency of going AFK.
Frequent offenders should get used to solo hunting. |
its not the waiting striker its the losses evry time thx to afkers
why should we get a loss and wait 15 min for a newb who goes away
only way to go = not able to play for 1 whole week in pvp or exp loss and gold loss
and what also might be an idea the team that has an afker gets 200% xp rates and points instead of the 50% theres also too much scammers in the game getting a team of 4 making 3v3 and then they take turns whos on the losing team
So for this is only 1 option for afk "extream penalty" resulting in heavy gold loss and exp loss and like i said b4 scammers - 1 whole lvl hehe almost used curse words cos this is getting stupit i havnt won 1 game in 5 days thx to afkers and i hate playing 1v1 so plz admin heavy penalty inputs way to go |
