IDk what you guys were thinking by making the AFK timer continue to tick down while interacting with the storage or auction house. When people go to those things they typically sit there for a while because there are zero reasons to interact with them for a few items.
I’m close to quitting again simply because getting hit offline when I’m not afk is dumb. I’m already wasting my time by playing the game so I don’t need added time wasters on top of that. Thanks.
Sorry if this comes off rude but these things need to be fixed. I’m one of the few who care enough about these things to post on forums. I can guarantee you some returning players got hit offline multiple times trying to organize their storage and just quit again. All it does it remind us of the past AGS decisions.
Ya. The afk timer is, honestly, the ONLY thing I hate about this game. I’ll be enjoying myself, browsing the TP and not noticing the afk message pops up then BAM “You’ve been boited for being afk” even though I’ve neen actively doing stuff the whole time.
The AFK timer was added to the Trade House cause people were using the trade house to stay logged in when Queue Times were a big thing. They would just Open the trade house, not do anything, and magically stay logged in for days on end. This will never change and should never change.
I’m sorry to break it to you but other games manage to run the AFK timer while the auction house is open. If the player isn’t interacting at all with the auction house the timer is running. It should change if they want to improve their game for the better.
I also don’t want to see people bypass the timer but I’ve seen it done in other games so let’s not make excuse for a bad system design. It doesn’t need to be a top priority but it clearly needs work.
Than go play those games. There are enough problems with cheaters already then to give them another way to have an advantage. It’s 15 minutes. Plenty of time. Stop being a child.
That’s exactly the attitude you need to kill this game for good. This is the game feedback section where quality assurance issues are raised. Nobody is holding you hostage here. If you don’t have anything positive to add you’re better off staying quiet.
The only person acting like a child here is you. Both things can be accomplished if the effort is taken to fix them but clearly they don’t need to apply themselves with you around. Please take your masochist attitude out of the forums and allow people to provide needed feedback. Thanks.
Yeah sure, quit a game because of such minor inconvenience. Isn’t the afk timer like 20 mins? All you have to do is press w once to reset it. It’s bad design, i got kicked once while fishing, but still i wouldn’t quit the game over that rofl.
although I agree, but I also disagree. the AFK timer while in the TP should be based off keystrokes and not player movement. when I visit the TP I am there for at least 30 minutes and the AFK timer is a big inconvenience. if the AFK timer while in TP was based off of keystrokes then people who go to the TP to try to remain logged in will still get booted, but those of us actively searching and buying/selling wouldn’t be continuously hit with the AFK timer alert which makes us leave the TP completely just to hit A,S,W or D once just to log back to the TP.
It’s not one minor inconvenience when it’s pilled on top of many other ones. They add up quickly.
Explain to me why the faction/ town board still bugs out your camera since launch. This was a bug that was well known since its launch and is still in the game. Don’t give me this it’s one minor inconvenience crap, dude. I can write an entire list here about things that need to be fixed or changed but I’m not being paid by AGS for quality assurance of their games.
They have my email if they want to pay me to help them make the game better. I’m not about to sit in the forums and get ignored by the Devs some more to have the same issues in the game 1 year later.
