AFK timer for social people

Please consider adjusting/adding to your AFK kick timer code. There are a lot of times when I am chatting with friends/company/global, and get AFK kicked without realizing. This is detrimental to the social aspect of the game. It’d be great if I could chat in channels or with friends without getting kicked, or having to set a timer. When I’m chatting, I am looking at the left side of the screen, not the top right to see if I’m about to get kicked.

Thanks!

Edit: Even adding an alert to the chat feed would help a lot. Thanks again!

Not only that, if you don’t pay attention while inside the fort before an invasion/siege you are going to get afk kicked.

I agree, sending a message or pushing to talk should reset the timer.

Hey everyone!

Many thanks for the feedback about the AFK timers

This is especially a great idea, I’ll send it to the developers!

Yeah that’s a stupid one. AFK timer should not work in those events while in preparation.

There has to be a way beyond just sending a message or push to talk. When using the market most people aren’t generally doing either of these things.

To add to this if I’m actively browsing the trade post I shouldn’t get an AFK warning or kicked

They could add the browsing the market resets the timer too.

But actually they could enterely remove this feature, it was implemented to deal with people being AFK when the queues were way too long in the game release. Nowdays this feature has become obsolete.
