Or is the supposed fix for AFK farmers actually a stealth nerf of dropships? ;)
Seriously though, details on how it works would be welcome.
Good to see them (you, if someone from CCP reads this) finally doing something about the AFK issue even though I think a separate game mode for AFKers would have been the best solution... no, really, if that's how they want to "play", let them ;). |

It would be hilarious. Pilots don't even gain WP for their trouble, getting them kicked because the system thinks they are afk or "not performing PvP actions" would be totally hilarious. Seriously, though. If your dropship is in the air that should be enough to qualify as PvP action. Keeping them flying is by itself marvelous PvP action, I hope they foresaw this issue since if they didn't it can't be corrected in time now. |

Will this impact me negatively because I often camp the objectives with long periods of time between actually stabbing people? |

I too am worried about the PVP action thing, what if you revive and repair teammates, but never get a kill or assist? |

I like to fly dropships as well. Also what happens if I run out of ammo in a fatsuit. I can't catch people to melee them... I have some good matchs sometimes with my forge and smg and this has happened. it can take forever to walk to the supply depot |

This really does need more clarification... like if you REALLY have to go during a battle and hide in a corner for a minute... Are you getting kicked? |

With the swarm buff I dont think DS pilots need to be worried about being kicked from the match getting blown up will probably count as a PVP action. |

Doing logi job certainly qualify as PvP action. Anything that gives WP will surely qualify, it's the easier way to identify it. It would certainly be longer than one minute, Grant. Timer should be something like... five minutes? I don't know, anybody's guess, but certainly one minute is too short. Also, I don't think you should worry about running out of ammo. Getting shot surely and easily enough qualifies as PvP action. I hope. |

Damn it......
The only thing I'll add to that now is, fly em while you sort of can folks.
You thought being shot out of the sky now was bad, I can't wait to see the shitstorm of missiles in the air
In fact I wonder if they tested the gfx and lag with that amount of potential missile trails in the air.
Must try and queue sync and get 12 people with proto av at the back of the map, proper missile spammage

Changed my mind on this, we shouldn't get information on what qualifies and what doesn't. Relaxed rules makes it easier to avoid false positives (which is really what matters here) but can if they are known be exploited... Obscurity may not be the perfect security model, but in this case it may work well enough.
It is however vital that there is a clear message if the system decides you've been AFK so we can report false positives. |
