If youre dead and idle for 1:50 then idle for 0:10 after next wave starts what happens then?


Pretty sure you are "okay" if you are dead.

So afk strategy will change slightly. Leechers will now die and walk away.

On harder difficulties on later waves, sometimes people get unlucky and killed by a banshee or phantom at the beginning of the wave. The remainder of the wave can sometimes lost way longer then two minutes... We won't get booted for being dead will we?


Havn't read if there have been any responses, but usually I'm using my mouse, at least in this situation, just observing, or making sure team-mates aren't getting snuck up on by something. Won't this count as activity?

Come on!!! We other players need to be able to kick a guy out, even when the match has started. There will be players getting kicked for being lousy players, but the majority (probably more like 99.9%) will only kick those that truly leeches and doesn´t participate...

Was excited about the AFK-function, til I read this memo. Damn!

2 minutes? Does this mean I have to equip a tube to my body if I need to relieve myself so I can stay in a public game. o.0


Or use a pierced  chair  if  really you can't  control: pierced chair,  drinks with  emergency induction port in and eating only  dried food or  anything you can eat and not  grease your hands on... Image IPB

Here's a thought: Pee before the game! Genius!

True. Just like kicking. Some may argue that this can be abused, but I think kicking is not that much differenent.

The only good way to deal with AFKers is enabling friendly fire after two minutes on the player. Now that would vent some frustration ^_^ I can't tell you how many clips I've emptied on AFKers


YES! Oh that would be cool. And gain xp on them and.. and.. could we LOOT them???Image IPBImage IPB

So what about lobbies that started out as private but were turned to publc to get more players, does that count as a priivate or public lobby?

This was something that was really starting to bother me lately. Thank you for implementing a solution!

Its a decent system now I see it in action and I've had no real trouble, but in the end I still feel it hurts more legit people than it does leechers.

Face it, leechers are there, sitting, waiting, watching. They are intelligent enough to move around a tiny bit to not get kicked.

Guy who ran in the small 20 second rest period in a wave to take a dump or ****** and was planning to come back and continue playing as a team?

Kicked

I dont think this is a good idea... Sometimes I have to do something maybe you want to extend it for five minutes or first five rounds of no movement or something? This can seem unfair for those who have an emergency or only bathroom is upstairs and have a crappy bladder.

I'm willing to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt, but I really have grave misgivings about the 2-minute grace period.

An average match lasts from 18 to 24 minutes — give or take a few minutes — so I'd feel much more comfortable if the grace period was 3- to 4-minutes instead of 2 minutes.

And, as others have pointed out, sometimes Mother Nature will not be denied the commode.

I'm glad this has been implimented but two minutes is waaaay too short, that's ridiculous,

Since the game doesnt have some kind of a "half-time" or pause or anything, its pretty much disregarding the fact that people have real lives, and s*** happens. Phonecall? Need to take your dog out to do it's business? doorbell? LOL KICKED FOR BEING AFK FOR 120 SECONDS

I was nearly finished a silver, and My dog woke up, I went to take her out, came back and I was autokicked and lost everything. needless to say I'm pretty disgusted

This isn't going to work, leechers can just get themselves killed and sit it out.

There should be a voting system, but make it so you can vote to kick the lowest level player after a certain amount of inactivity.

This system doesn't work at all. Leechers already bypass the kick by placing themselves in harm's way and dying.

2 Minutes? I really am grateful you put in this timer, but I thought the company name was BioWare, not No-one-is-allowed-to-go-to-the-bathroomWare.

That joke sounded like it was in bad taste. And it was also awful. I feel ashamed, honestly.


yes its called bioware but not lets step away from the game while in actionware.

nope it would be exploited heavliy

i think the 2 minute timer needs to be lessened and if  rubber banding a controller means what i think it means then they can just change  that  to if you make no other action after prior action was completed i.e rubber bands wouldn't work in the case due you are only doing 1 action like running in circles or moving  or something to that  degree in the same location i would think that they would also look for  active pressing on the buttons and by the way it dont count if you die  and take 2 mins finish the round after you bled out it wont kick you since the camera automatically goes to the person and of course you will use the time to check on what ever you need to do but remeber  human nature  will make you jup around on to other people to warn them so dont worry about that

Ahh yes let the "rubber banding AFK leecher ahhh!!" threads begin. So the community gets what it wants but I see it as wasted effort.

What about leeachers who are going to just move every 1 min or so, or use elastic bands so there constantly moving but dont have to play, I see this as... problematic.


They did the same thing in WoW, their is no perfect solution. Personally I think 2 minutes is to long, no activity for 60 seconds and it should toss them.

Bathroom is a poor excuse, go before you queue and if it's that bad exit the game.

Until the matchmaking and connection system is better, the anti-afk kick system is... not very good and feasible.

I'd rather have a system that prompts players (after 2 minutes) if they WANT to kick the AFKer or not.
