Allah's Snackbar Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 23	Posted - 2013.05.25 09:34:00 - [1] - Quote Seriously if there ever was a time it was "Uprising". They didn't do it though and it's pretty clear why at this point. Just imagine where server numbers would be is AFKers were kicked or vulnerable for a TK?
Aeon Amadi Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1375	Posted - 2013.05.25 09:41:00 - [2] - Quote They'll just find another way to break the game. Red-Line Railgunning LAV Red-Line Repping Red-Line AFKing Maybe they should just do away with Red-Lines entirely.

Red-Line Railgunning LAV Red-Line Repping Red-Line AFKing Maybe they should just do away with Red-Lines entirely. I don't think the red line is the problem. At least behind the red line you are still (usually) able to be killed off. A bit of thought into making sure people are generally "at risk" on the battlefield would go a long way. If you want to do something drastic just make the player chevron light up when a suit hasn't been utilized for some period of time. Call it a suit/operator malfunction issue -- either the controls of the suit aren't working and extraction is needed or the player has some type of problem and is unable to control the suit. Hell, the suit could self-destruct to avoid AFK capture as the enemy might be able to capture it and remove codes and other intelligence -- it's not like the wearer can't get another clone.
Crash Monster Snipers Anonymous 374	Posted - 2013.05.25 09:58:00 - [4] - Quote It's a lot less fun to AFK if you aren't able to be A.
JL3Eleven Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 444	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:00:00 - [5] - Quote Quit awarding points for simply being in the match. Problem solved. Where's my cookie?
Jenova's Witness Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 24	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:01:00 - [6] - Quote Make rewards scale to accrued WP per minute gains. Problem solved.
2-Ton Twenty-One Imperfects Negative-Feedback 620	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:01:00 - [7] - Quote People would just buy a tank and sit in the readline or sit on top of the mcc
Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 4647	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:22:00 - [8] - Quote Its more like its going to take more coding than initially thought there is a TEAM of developers working on this.

This would not work, AFK-ers would just set their controllers to spin round or keep walking into a wall. There are plenty easy ways to do this, most which don't require to buy anything, or extremely cheap stuff. Getting rid of the red line would just make it worse, as spawn-camping would be a major problem then. Not to mention even then, there are plenty other ways and places to AFK, even getting rid of the MCC would probably still leave most AFK-ers. Believe it or not, there are plenty AFKers on Ambush maps as well, they just find a good spot to hid and stay there. Setting it so one has to actually "move" places would be bad for people who use attack installations or some snipers, among other non-specific situations where one has to stay still. (Unless its a long time in-between, in which case AFK-ers would just flick their controllers every now and then anyways.) My guess is that CCP has not talked on how to 'fix' AFK-ing because as of yet there may not be a good way to prevent it, without making it even more inconvenient to regular players at least. (I mean they could probably get rid of any and all ways of doing it, but with a method that would be even worse for everyone else and would bring even more complaining.)
Hexen Trickster Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 23	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:48:00 - [10] - Quote Add team killing.. let players take care of the afkers or for those of you who are to scared to let us follow in eve footsteps of free fire.. make it so after a period of inactivity they are vulnerable or something.. idk i just want to shoot them i dant care of my wp takes a hit because of it ... On the plus side itd also make nova knifes useful

Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon Plus 454	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:54:00 - [11] - Quote There are a number of things that weren't delivered on in Uprising - maybe in a few years.
S0LlD SNAKE PLAYSTATION4 53	Posted - 2013.05.25 10:56:00 - [12] - Quote awarding points for AFK is there to prevent people quiting the match keeping the matches populated even if they dont do much its not like they AFK forever they will jump into battle eventually and there is a CAP if no points are awarded for AFK whenever your team loses you quit and look for another game and if you lose SP for quiting the match many will quit the game with points awarded for AFK there is a chance they will join the fight , with none all you gona see is empty teams have you ever seen a game with incomplete teams at the end of the match? i didnt think about AFKers like Naruto fillers episodes
Martin0 Brancaleone Maphia Clan Corporation CRONOS. 302	Posted - 2013.05.25 11:45:00 - [13] - Quote Remove SP gains for time spent in the mcc.
Beld Errmon Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 619	Posted - 2013.05.25 11:48:00 - [14] - Quote The best way to fix AFK is to make the SP gained based on what you actually do in battle not the time spent on the battle field, but CCP knows 90% of the scrubs that play this game will quit if they don't continue to get paid out for being completely useless on the battlefield.

I would imagine it's hard to concentrate when you're just waiting to be a part of the next 20%. Everyone knows Iceland seldom takes the whack so I would imagine it's all LinkedIn updates for everyone in Shanghai.
Natu Nobilis BetaMax Beta CRONOS. 325	Posted - 2013.05.25 12:00:00 - [16] - Quote Huge ammounts of SP needed to do things + Bad skill + Less rewards per battle = Happy happy new players.

A few of there team members are AFK in the break room cough cough I kid, im sure a fix will come thats fair.. and then the afkers will complain pretending that they actually are doing work and getting punished..
fahrenheitM Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 280	Posted - 2013.05.25 14:50:00 - [18] - Quote People still play pub matches?
Lance 2ballzStrong SyNergy Gaming EoN. 1949	Posted - 2013.05.25 15:14:00 - [19] - Quote people still crying about this? lol... hey, it's only been about 3-4 months, let's continue making threads about it!

Mike Poole Kirkinen Risk Control Caldari State 57	Posted - 2013.05.25 15:39:00 - [22] - Quote They can't do crap to move towards a more WP focused reward system without a complete overhaul of the WP system first, and your chances of seeing that happen any time soon are likely laughable. With the current WP system focused on little more than mindless rushes for hacking and aggressive pushes any defensive players are just being told to **** off.

I don't see how people not giving a **** about people being AFK means I do it. WHO CARES!?? People care about PC, not some lame ass pub game. "OH NO! THERE'S SOME PEOPLE AFK IN THE MCC!! QQ AND THEY MADE US LOSE THIS MEANINGLESS PUB GAME! OOOH NOOOO"

That's how CCP punishes afkers.
Takahiro Kashuken Red Star. EoN. 542	Posted - 2013.05.25 15:46:00 - [26] - Quote Nah because then afkers will just get a rubber band and whack it on the controller so they are always running Only way to stop it is to have some many WP gained per min but for example it wouldnt work because bad player would get booted lol which maybe a plus

On the plus side itd also make nova knifes useful Yes. Let us regulate ourselves with friendly fire. There will be no more AFKers.
Darken-Sol BIG BAD W0LVES Eternal Syndicate 92	Posted - 2013.05.25 16:38:00 - [28] - Quote people crying about AFKers are usually redline snipers. Skirmish has always been the tame game mode. some people are just tamer than you. go play ambush. no AFKers there. its not a good idea to bring your sniper rifle though.

But i support idea of enabling FF for pub matches... With negative WP and SP? Afkers should be "marked" via introduction of "standing system"... Or no SP and ISK gain...
Saki Seto DUST University Ivy League 5	Posted - 2013.05.25 17:32:00 - [30] - Quote make this game fun. would do wonders for this afk problem.
