AFK Players in Dominion PvE | Forums

Wow. So get rid of ai and by default I assume you also mean the story since it's ai also? How much of the player base do you think gets enjoyment from those two modes? Quite a bit more than you would agree to I'm sure.

It shouldn't be written anywhere for someone to know its not ok to be an jerk or a leech. since when do you need guidelines written down to be a decent human being?

Oh, alright, what other imaginery rules and regulations should be followed?

Are we allowed to eat apple pie while playing a PvE game of dominion in For Honor or is that a bannable offence?


This may be shocking to you, but as long as you or me are not breaking any laws, there is not a single judicial system on Earth which can force us to follow any morality guidelines, especially if we don't give a crap about them.

What is moral or immoral to you, may be completely different to a person of different nationality, religion, or even political views.

Personally I couldn't care less about morality in life, and will do absolutely everything my heart desires, except for those things that the laws, or for example, terms and conditions of a service that I wish to use - state that I cannot do unless I want to face the consequences.

So my question, yet again, where exactly does it say that we as players are not allowed to stay AFK in a match of For Honor?

Because I've done my research of Ubisofts Code of Conduct and I simply cannot find such restrictions.

Ok you got us. It doesn't say it anywhere I promise. However. Your arrogant stance that it doesn't negatively impact people who go into those games and expect to get a good experience is beyond absurd.

Arogant or not, I never once said that it's neither a good thing, nor that I condone it, please refrain from putting words in my mouth.

All I said was, that these "burn the witches" threads, that keep popping up all over the forums, begging developers to prosecute players whom did absolutely nothing wrong as far as The Code of Conduct is concerned, are nothing short of ridiculous.


Ever seen one of these?



There is no sign, no fence, no warning what so ever, and a very well established path, but these threads are claiming that if a person takes the shortcut, they should be immediately apprehended and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

That's how laughable these threads are, the problem is not the users fault to begin with, and is easily fixable by putting up a sign or a fence preventing access, for starters.

Please tell me you see the irony in what you just wrote. In case not - I neither said you said it was a good thing nor did I say you condone it...words in mouths...I did say that you don't think it negatively impacts people, which you did, yet it does.

Anyway, I do agree that threads complaining about it are useless and I actually do agree that Ubisoft has no grounds to ban these people. My only point was that it is a nuisance and negatively impacts others who are trying to enjoy a mode that is in the game. Therefore Ubisoft should do something to remove the negative impact.

I'm out.

I had to check if I didn't leave a typo or I'm misunderstanding you, I hope it's not a language barier thing, as I said that I do think it's a negative thing, and I do not approve of it personaly, that's what I said with different wording.

My stance is that I am against AFK'ing, but that I am also against witch hunting of inocent players as it is in no way their fault, sorry for confusion

Please refer to our code of conduct.

Any conduct which interrupts the general flow of gameplay in the game client, forum, or any other Ubisoft medium is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to, spamming, advertising or soliciting other products.

We are committed to maintaining an enjoyable For Honor experience for our players and we will investigate and penalize any behavior that interferes with that.

Whether is PVP or PVAi, you score points twice as fast by guarding points A and C in dominion. Its kinda dumb not to have someone guarding them. I think the ones you are referring to are the guys actually just standing there afk not even trying to protect those points. Right?

Greetings, thank you for your reply.

I did infact refer to your company's code of conduct last night, the same link that you just shared, for roughly 3 hours.

And unless I am wrong ...

"Any conduct which interrupts the general flow of gameplay in the game client, forum, or any other Ubisoft medium is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to, spamming, advertising or soliciting other products."

... does not seem to be describing the issue at hand.

We are talking about players being afk, not actively trying to "interrupt the general flow of gameplay".

Being AFK sometimes is a core part of being a gamer, sometimes especially due to real live emergencies, you just have to get up and leave. It's not the players fault that the game continues running for 16 hours giving player the benefits, it simply isn't.

I am obviously not gonna argue about it with a representative, but my suggestion would be to make a very clear, official statement on the forums addressing the issue.

Because now, from reading your own Code of Conduct, it is incredibly easy to come to a conclusion that unless bots / scripts / macros are being used - it's ok to stay AFK in a game.

I think this: "Any conduct which interrupts the general flow of gameplay in the game client" is their catch all. So anything that interferes with you playing the game as intended gets you a spanking. I guess it just takes 8 years for them to issue the spankings because at night i can't even get into a game because you can spend hour + trying to find one where someone isn't doing it.

I guess Ubisoft doesn't have the resources to have an employee join games and then ban the person on the spot because an hours worth would probably net 10+ people doing this, maybe more. I do not like how they put the onus on the player "send videos/screen shots". I messaged the rep on facebook and they told me create a formal ticket and make sure to video it. So not only am i inconvenience by not being able to find a match not containing cheaters now you want me to become a videographer and catch all the cheaters for you?
