kicked for inactivity is a joke.. | Forums

[Archaelion]

I am playing dominion boosting a point. like 40 seconds later, I get kicked for inactivity. Look, it's a joke right now. The sensitivity for this inactive **** takes the whole point of defending out of the equation. Fix it, I don't want to have to roll around on a defender's point wasting stamina just to avoid being kicked on inactivity every 39 seconds. It's bad programming and it's making for a bad gaming experience. And the icing on the cake is I can't queue up for 10 minutes hence writing this post. Do you even play your game? Then you must clearly not play a whole lot of defense. Jokes.

Yeah, I think they overdid it a bit with the anti-afk farmers measures. I'm betting that this is a top priority order from their point of view, since afk farming means easy steel, meaning less steel packs bought, and that's a big no-no for Ubisoft.

They should lengthen the timer a bit.

I am not going to defend the afk kick timer, but, walk around. Never stand still, it is how I counter the kick timer when defending.

We've definitely been passing these concerns to the team. Thanks for letting us know how the changes have created situations where you've been kicked despite being on your controller/keyboard.

I JUST came to the forums to write this exact topic.... Got a phone call that didnt even last 1 minute and when im back im kicked for inactivity lol... Seriously man wtf is this...

EDIT: I was actually in a zone boosting my renown, so it's not like I was afk at spawn either...

You would think that if your score is increasing, you wouldn't be in danger of being kicked..apparently not.

Yeah, not kicking you out while you're verifiably contributing should minimize the problem.

Except, then you could just stand in zones forever while farming afk...

Also, if you're defending you SHOULD be moving around unless an opponent is on the way toward you. There a not a single zone I know of that has only one entry point for you to defend.

Wrong. If someone is going AFK, they are away from their keyboard and you act like points never change sides in dominion hence there wouldn't be someone AFK farming. I'm talking LITERALLY 40 seconds of me boosting a point and there's an issue. Yeah, there's 2 entries and I can cover both in one spot, the ladder and the ramp on whatever fkn map that was. I shouldn't have to spam my keyboard for no reason other than bad programming; no other game has that nonsense. Not to mention if someone were to walk onto the point, the color changes from yours to neutral so yeah, I would know if an enemy entered the area without having to look around. There's also this thing called a RADAR. It's bad design.

Final point, I've seen AFK farmers--they don't stand around boosting zones, they do nothing but stand in spawn doing barrel rolls and attacking rocks. The only ones being affected by anti farming policy are legit players...
