AFK Players in Dominion PvE | Forums

[Bane0310]

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.

Massive I really hope you are not the you tuber ... anyway Them being AFK does effect the game for anyone joining that game, if they are on their side then they a screwed. Case closed you lose, goodnight princess.

I have posted this in another thread, but I see that I must repeat that:

UBISOFT Terms Of Service:

create, use and/or circulate "auto" or "macro" computer programs or other cheat programs or software applications, and/or use the Services via a mirror site;

While there is said computer program specifically, but also cheat program generally, meaning it does not have to be software based but also hardware based. Basically any application meant to automate or macro specific acitivity.

Making rubber band to cheat can be considered as auto cheat program.

PSN terms of service

Do not cheat, exploit or use any bugs, glitches, vulnerabilities or unintentional game mechanics in the Software, the PSN or any of its products to obtain an unfair advantage;

For Honor code of conduct

Exploitation of any new or known glitches or bugs which provide an unfair advantage over other players is forbidden and may result in character stats and progression resets, account suspension or revocation.

Problem is, that these players are not only AFK. They are AFK., but using tools to make game think they are NOT AFK, which is exploit and therefore punishable.

So, these players are violating Ubisoft terms of service, PSN terms of service and For Honor code of conduct.

I really hope that Ubi will do the right thing and wipe the progress of these players. They new they are doing a fraud.

I know a lot of people are complaining about this. But really who cares? "I'm constantly seeing people sit in spawn or run in circles in spawn getting free XP off every single game".
I personally don't blame them. Why are you people fighting against bots in the first place? For XP? For Bounties? Because you can't handle a real fight? You're basically doing the same thing! So you arent any different from them. Id be sitting in spawn getting free XP too if I constantly got disconnected. I'm sick of being connected to losing teams at the very end. Starting a game and going 15-1 then randomly getting disconnected leaving me with zero XP & Credits ect. As if I never played at all.. Its annoying as hell!! Especially when the game is 15 seconds from ending.

Solution: Completely take away Player vs. AI Or Take away the credits and XP you gain from completing an AI game.

Fix the servers...

Literally Three things Ubisoft needs to do.

Taking away player vs AI and the rewards is a stupid idea, if they do that then half there player base will quit, all they need to do is add a system that kicks people for being idle for to long, it would stop most of the afk farmers.

You add an order today to kill soldiers in dominion. Yet I am playing on ps4 and every match I join in the last hour has players running circles in spawn just For XP and you want use to capture it for you Devs just put a Dev on ps4 for an hour or two on ps4 queuing into Domonion vs bots and see it for yourself UBISOFT this is complete ********. Massive D more like Little D the fact you are tryouts no to find a loop in the terms of service really makes me the think that you have done this since day one and are scared of the consequences. You probally did it to bang out it rep 3 and the. Spent money to get 108 and it would make me laugh if they took that all away for you. Ya players can go AFK but taping down controller, to do circles or just emoting is a hell of a lot different. To say this isn't effecting the players experience in game is a bunch of ********. Yes I have my pitch fork out and tar and feathers and I am ready to paint the goddam town!

I'm still waiting for their official statement against this, because I can't find anywhere in their own Code of Conduct that says it's against the rules to stay AFK in a game, and furthermore they made no posts at all saying they are condeming this, as far as we are concerned, who says that players can't afk?

i know you are doing it ALOT.

It IS exploit. Make how many videos you want, but you will still be cheater and Ubisoft will wipe your progress. Basically, you are AFK and by using tool, making game think your are NOT AFK, which is fraud, exploit and cheat. It is not botting, but it IS fraud and IS exploit. Farewell cheater.

I apologize if it appears that I did not read the post (which I can assure you I did). My post was in the hopes that the current solution, while not perfect, will at least help in making the problem a little bit better for all players.

Do me a favor and don't remove rewards and XP from AI battles. Some of us mainly play those modes because we enjoy it. What's the harm inn playing a game the way you want? Not everyone wants to play competetive. We are having super casual, super fun in the game. Don't remove our progress (or if you do, be sure to give free refund for anyone who wants it).

On a different note - could we get rewards for Duel vs AI? Can be super minor, but just something would be nice.

The easiest way to remedy this is to kick anyone that doesn't physically select a class during selection.

Submit report for greifing. Ubisoft take a look at the games the report came from if the person had zeros across the board give the a warning and a 1 day suspension. Next time it's 3 days. Then lifetime ban on that console, not on that PSN,Xbox live PC I'd but the actual system. 3 warning system is more than far. This way they can't just switch ids and do it again.
