Auto logoff?
« on: April 28, 2007, 05:45:16 AM »
Had at least 6 - 7 AFK (out of 14) doing nothing but pushing ENY through the roof.

Any chance of an auto log-off after a specific period of inactivity?

That would be a great idea to have implemented.

Apparently, people still have something to say about the idea.

Since he said 6 or 7 out of 14, probably not so much.

Must have been EW or MW.

Bad idea.  There's a lot of reasons to be afk temporarily:

Bathroom
Beverage
Folding laundry
Wife ack
Unruly child
Unwind after your XXXth consecutive death without a kill

I sometimes just need a fifteen minute break after a couple of hours of playing.

None of these are worth logging off for.  Short breaks should be expected.

:huh   So, it would kill you to have to log back on after your break?

Greetings,

  I do have a question.  Say 100 people are currently signed in as a given side.  The remainder are split at 75 for each.  The high sides ENY does go up yes?

 Now of the big guys, 75 are playing in GVs at TT.  The remaining two sides have 25 GVs each.  (75 GVs vrs 25x2 or 50)  That leaves the big side with 25 pilots vrs 50x2 - still encumbered by ENY.  Is that correct?  Or is ENY focused on planes in the air or on the runway?

Regards,

It might if the arena was full and I couldn't get back in to the area I was fighting in, back to my squad, etc.

If all of this is about ENY then maybe you all should be asking for ENY to be based on planes in flight instead of players logged on rather than booting people out of the game.

I've brought this request to the attention of the bbs countless times.  I'm glad people are catching on, and making request about this subject on their own, because it is important.

My proposal has always been that this would only effect people in the tower.  Theres many bomber buffs (no pun intended) who love the 30K, 10 sector missions, and its undertstandable for them to be afk for prolonged periods.  Thats fine though...They are in flight.

What we need to limit is people going AFK for 45...60...and more minutes while in the tower!  I say make it either 45 or 60 minutes, and if there hasn't been any activity, then "host lost connection" them, and when they return they can come back into the arena.

Hell, forget 45-60 minutes...I say make it 30 minutes!  There is no reason what so ever you need to be AFK and sit in a tower for 30 minutes taking up an arena spot, and two, contributing to eny limitation.  If you need to be AFK 30 minutes, then log out and you can log back in.  Not that big of a deal.

Now i'm just talking about standard weekdays with the above post.  Now imagine a Friday/Saturday night, or a country on the verge of reset, and how flooded one side may be, and how this would help a country to a reasonable eny
