I still find myself AFKing for Skill points, run around cap 3 objectives then afk in the mcc.
Why? Cause I can only play a limited number of games before the PS heats up and the frame rate drops too low that I cannot actually play. I'm in a game right now that we are absolutely destroying the other team and I would love to get some more free kills but I can barely move.
I would also love to turn off the PS and play again tomorrow, but I bought 3 active skill 1day boosters and I feel like I would be punished by turning it off. |

I find that most of the time when I afk is when I give up during a match, such as when getting protostomped or when my team has absolutely no chance of coming back (and I have no need or want in losing further isk due to being killed).
Add option to Surrender match to end them quicker, if enough team members approve of the surrender?

Tips to Address Overheating:
1. Elevate PS3 with two small blocks for air to pass under.
2. Locate PS3 on an open shelf. No backed shelves.
3. Remove dust from the PS3. No, not the game. The actual dust.
4. If you're skilled enough and willing to violate your warranty, replace the thermal paste on the processor with a better one. Sony got cheap on the paste.

Yeap, I change the termal paste of my old fatty (80gb, MGS4 Edition) and sounds like a new... but I notice something "odd"...
Games like GTA V, Battlefield 4, Destiny and even Netflix = speed fan normal, sometimes run faster.
Legion/Nemesis "Beta" Code name: Dust 514 = Speed fan Turbo mode.... sounds like an airplane ready to fly...
even with that... not longer "turbo - hair dryer" speed fan mode on.

It is quite a leap to say "people AFK because their games become unplayable!" just because you have or do it yourself.
My take is that there is a simplr reason people AFK farmed: they feel the game is work but they want the SP. They are caught wanting to chase after that SP but don't want to play the game. They are not enjoying the game, at all, but are enjoying the idea of filling that bar.
There is something very strange about this game though. Games that are far, far more graphically intensive or even have more characters running about on each map run fairly normally. This game, yeah; it is just a space heater from Hell.

How humid is the air? If it's damp that is probably your cause for overheating.
Remember that overheating off any digital device is Cumulative. Meaning. Heat damage causes the device to heat up even more.
Placing the PS3 on top of a heat conductive surface is a great way to remove the heat. Metal, Glass or stone will do, avoid wood if possible. If you have space to move the PS3 around, do so every hour or so to let the old hot spot dissipate.
Heat transfers fastest through physical contact, and slower through air. You use the blocks to boost your PS3 if the surface below is wood, due to wood not conducting heat as well.
Ideally, you want a suspended console, with one of the blocks being of a somewhat heat conducive material close to the center of where the heat originates, so that you can have transfer by contact, and coolant by air circulation.

Basements are your PS3's best friend.
I put it on the tile floor in the basement, got good space around it for air ventilation... Never covered.
goes silent from that cool tile flooring... Haven't had it heat up for a long time...
But... I can't escape the freeze... That needs a serious nerf ;(

Yes, Unfortunately I'm in the middle of building my basement. The PS3 is in the top of the house where it's the warmest and there isn't anything I can do about that for at least a few more weeks. But even still, dust just needs to be optimized this is not acceptable. |

Believe it or not the game has been optimized quite a bit over time, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that it could do better. The problem seems to be the maps themselves that need optimizing especially the Gallente Research Facility and perhaps the tunnel map. I haven't had any overheat problems with my console so far because of the tips I mentioned. Though I don't have the skill to apply the thermal paste correctly which is why I haven't done that so far.
Keep in mind that I have the small 12GB PS3. You know, the kind that you have to slide the cover off to access the CD.

I optimize code for a living. And I can tell you from experience every time I go into a new place the dev's always say the same thing. It's been optimized as much as we can, no more can be done, ect ect. Same old song and dance, every single time and every single time after a few optimization cycles we see huge 4x-8x speed improvements. You have to be willing rip out offending code and rewrite the parts that are causing the issue, not simply tweak them. |

The thing is.. afking doesn't give anything.
You get littles amounts of ISK and SP.
You're not playing the game, just farming for no purpose
By this i mean, if you don't want to play then why do you even bother to setup this?

Uninstall the game.
reinstall the game.
like magic the frame rate and heat issues should be gone.

Guess I'm just lucky because I almost never experience lag. Even when the rest of my squad can barely function because of lag I'll be just fine. Maybe my ps3 is just better? It's over 5 years old and I've never done a thing to it. Maybe it's a better internet connection? I've heard people say a wired connection is a must, yet I've had mine set up wireless since day one. I've played dust about 2 years and I've never once uninstalled/ reinstalled. I just don't understand why some have so much problem with lag while others don't... Even in pc where lag is king I never get any. Not bragging, just sayin.

Don't underestimate the cheapness of Sony's thermal paste; finally got tired of the game constantly freezing up whenever I was in a tank and having the fan run like a hairdryer, so I went down to the nearest Radio Shack last week for their going out-of-business sale and was lucky enough to find some new paste for about five bucks.
Took the PS3 apart, cleaned out of the dust/hair (damn cat) removed the old paste and applied the new, put it back together and turned it on...only to realize that I had forgotten to plug the fan back in. Powered off, unplugged it, opened it up and plugged the fan back in before closing it back up and trying it again. Haven't had a single freeze since then, and the fan runs much, much quieter now and I generally play Dust for about three hours in one sitting.

Be sure to check the size of your Dust file first; if it's still under 3Gb you shouldn't have anything to worry about. If it's well over 3, you may want to go ahead and delete the game and then download it again. I think the highest my file size was something like 5, but that was over a year ago.

That was the whole point of me giving you the benefit of the doubt.
You are correct that the code needs to be ripped apart and rewritten for real optimization, but there is just one sarcastically tiny problem. CCP Rattati's team is extremely tiny for the job. At the most I can think of maybe 3 people in the team. That's nowhere near big enough to even contemplate rewritting the code. Keep in mind on how expensive that can be. Eve Online as an example has been running for 12 years straight now and has been optimized up the ass yet it still has old-ass legacy code that supposedly is hold it back.

This is what I don't get about AFK players. Hell, they are not even players because technically they are not playing. I swear, AFK players are the only people you see who will put the most amount of effort for doing nothing.

You should get banned for afking. You're doing nothing but pissing the rest of your team off.
So long as it's a Pub match, who really cares if he's afking or not?
Also, I'm somewhat in favor of afking in the face of the combination of a proto stomp and a team that's given up.
I can sneak out, drop uplinks, hack points, all I want. If the rest of my team isn't willing to spawn to any of my uplinks, or make a push for the objectives after I hacked a CRU, why the heck should I waste my isk, my deaths, for a team that isn't willing to risk theirs? I'd rather go afk than waste isk for a team that wants to play redline sniper.
Now if the enemy team is wanting to countersnipe, well, I've never turned down a good sniper hunt.
I wish there was a chat to the enemy team option. I've always wanted to get good and close to an enemy sniper with a SG, lean in and whisper "What are we looking at?" then shoot them.
Until then, placing a RE on them, standing back and shooting them one round with a SMG so that they turn around and see me, and then setting off the RE will have to suffice. |

I look at it this way...
I don't play for the team. I play for myself. I put in uplinks, hack objectives and installations, and kill the occasional straggler whenever I can. But it's not for the team. I just want to farm skill points in the most effective way possible. Actually playing the game.
