AFK's in PORT (developers do something)

[imaioral]

Guys,

 

You guys really must do something with inactive players (afk's) in port. You invite for division supose online players and waits like and idiot 5 minutes or sometimes more becuse the bastard is anywhere doing another thing but not in the game (sometimes i invite even 10 guys at same time) for no one accepts and these guys "online for hours", this pisses off is a disrespect... Why dont put a regressive countdown of 10 minutes online than disconect as soon as no action is done (like words typed and), because u see 40 online of 300 but the real is 3...

you already get disconnect just for being inactive in port, I know cause i been disconnected due to being inactive before. So it there. Maybe the person just regularly check the game for in chat massages, so therefore keeping him active in port

Did you try talking to them and asking them to join your party or have you committed the MMO sin of sending people blind invites for you party/guild/other?

DealWithIt^TM

I've been online for about 4 hours today... Played six games. 

#DealWithIt

 

Sorry, but your suggestion is horrible. There are times where I feel the need to take long breaks between battles, yet still stay online to look for messages, invites, etc. Auto-logging me would become an annoyance. Really fast.

 

Here's how it works:

If you go AFK and don't tab out: You stay logged in indefinitely

If you go AFK and tab out,: You get DC'd after one hour of inactivity

 

Also, have you considered that maybe these people don't want to play with you, whether it be personal or impersonal? Or have other things to do? Or don't even know you?

Sometimes people want to solo.

I personally don't accept invites from people I don't know, who just send me an invite. I always send a message before I invite.

Talk about self entitlement.. This reads as 'No one is allowed to go afk because I might randomly invite them to a division and I get upset if they don't accept.'

That's basically what I got from the OP.

I play a lot, but I do take breaks. More often than not I don't log out. Perhaps they should shorten the response time to1 or 2 minutes.

^. I only try to Division with people I know and that I can rely on to work with how I play. I'm not going to accept a random invitation from someone who may well be a black potato who sails battleships in straight lines and broadside on. Also, I sometimes have dinner while WoWs is on, and I'm fine with getting disconnected after an hour. But I don't want to be forced to log in every time I go to the dunny or grab a snack, or browse the internet for memes.

I find that when I take a break of several minutes between games, I generally tend to perform better.

 

Also, I don't accept invites from strangers.

How is this a thing?

[Reymu]

Forced logout after 10-20 minutes range seems fine. Happened to me once while I was alt-tabbed and forgot I was in port.

 

The divisions part...it'd be more convenient if you're logged out automatically after 4 minutes if you go into that and then do nothing. I'd set switching between port, modules, and so on to be the only way to tell server "I'm not AFK" since the div invites are visible there.

Seriously!  What I do while I'm "in port" is my own business.

When I read the title I thought this was going to be a satire & joke post, how wrong I was.

They just increased it to 3 hours.
