| Author | Group Battle AFK solution: AI control |
|---|
When a player AFKs, it creates a lopsided battle that is no fun for the losing side and sometimes not much from for the winning side either. This frustrates all players.
So instead of having the AFK's troops fall over dead, what about when they AFK, their troops become controlled by the AI instead?
The AFK still gets no exp and no skill points, but at least now his team still has some hope.
Also after this a "surrender" button can be implemented that automatically gives control of your troops to the AI, if you know you are going offline for awhile, or if the battle is hopeless and you have something else you'd rather do. (Still no Exp and no skill points for surrendering). |
| this has been suggested. 2 many times |
it's not a bad idea.
AFK players really ruin group battles.
but it may be difficult to implement this. |

and there shouldn' be a surrrender button |
| People join group battles to fight with human players, not bots. I understand that it's an on going problem but some enterprising folks have actually come up with a sort of solution. It's called "Warrior's Guild". |
| It will eventually ruin the game i am sure |
| It didn't ruin the Russian server and they've been around longer than us. Any mature player learns to consider the possibility of players leaving battle on either side for whatever reasons. It's one of those randomness that comes with the game just like which stack gets to move first. Will one of your allies quit or will one of your enemies do? Besides, people make lopsided battles all the time. Most of all, you don't want some bot to make the move for anyone in tournaments. That would really suck. XD |
| I don't think AI controlled AFK players is a bad idea nor hard to be implemented. The script is there, thieves' guild caravans is just that, it would only take some tweaking and nothing more I suppose. I don't think it would be hard to implement restrictions of that feature in tournaments either, although a player winning a tournament from gaining points off AFK players sucks just as much in my opinion, unless the battle in that case is considered void. If it was to be implemented I think it would only result in better group battles as both the team with the AFK player(s) would have at least a small chance of winning and the opposing team wouldn't be wasting their time and, possibly, their arts for almost nothing. |
| Ai controlled and surrender button are very good ideas :-) |
Ai controlled and surrender button are very good ideas
No, they are not -_- |
| By all means no, not surrender button. The reason for AI controlled players is to give some point to battles where players are AFK. Under no circumstances do we want to encourage players to go AFK by own will. |
