Still doing a bad job against AFKers? | Forums

[Grayvent]

I'm aware the team has been working on tools to detect AFKers exploit.

But here's a simple "temporary" solution. (Of course just for vs A.I. game mode, doesn't apply to PVP)
Why not just get rid of the auto-start timer.
- Who ever is hosting will have to manually start the game.
- There's no need for the others to hit a "Ready" button
- A waiting room will have the same timer as the auto start (2 mins). Once the timer is up and the game wasn't manually start, the room will auto disband itself.

Pro:
- Discontinue players from AFK farming for extended hours through multiple matches because the mechanic above will auto disband and put players back to the menu
- Improves gameplay experience in A.I. mode in a longer term.

Cons:
- doesn't prevent AFK farm in current game/one game, however once the game has ended, and the players is still AFK, his/she will be put back in the game menu once the waiting room is disband.
- May disrupt players matchmaking performance in the short term due to auto disband (From AFK players). But overall experience will improve over time as less and less players par take in AFK farming


What does the community think of this?

Agreed, I have no ideia how this hasn't been implemented already...

Ban them for a few hours or more if they do it continously

Thanks for the suggestion, Grayvent! We're constantly going over the reports from players and looking to implement ways to further combat behavior that promotes a negative experience in For Honor. Suggestions from the community to combat this going forward are more than welcome.
