remove absent player from arena.

[Traveler]

Heres the simple solution.....NEVER LOG OUT OF ORANGE lol...I let mine connected for days on end.

Beliallink is not the only player that does this and HTC needs to boot any player that has a spot tied up in any arena and is not present.   It has to be possible to know if there has been no movement or activity from a player or that player has been tower bound for more than 20 minutes.   They should be bounced out of the arena.

+1

[321BAR]

+1 but most likely never to happen

[waystin2]

Nope.  I have to give it a -1.

[gyrene81]

Nope.  I have to give it a -1.

And why is that? Should be common sense to log out of an arena if you don't know how long you're going to be afk, but there are people...

+1 ive seen belial before be afk for 3 hrs... just to come back do 1 flight and log

[bagrat]

+1 except instead of 20 mins give em atleast an hour of tower time.

[Dr_Death8]

Big +1.  With the cap issue it only makes sense. Let's face it, you are sitting and playing for hours and mother nature call's, if she is yelling at you that loudly that you are going to be in the head for 30-45min, log off!

I was thinking about this the other day.....

Would it be possible to have the sever move an inactive player (as in not in flight)
My thought was that there could be some place in the city strat where the server places you if you are inactive for a set amount of time 30mins,45 mins,60 mins ???....Now this place you are still connected but not showing as part of the population...you know the troops are still in the war but have been sent to town for a little R&R
Only the sever can put you there...from there if you are inactive for another set amount of time 2hrs, 3hrs, 4hrs ??? then you are unable to re enter the arena...so to stay hooked up to the arena you would need to at least make a move back into the arena then your time starts again...this would mean that sure you can stay connected but you have no effect on population and you run with chance that the caps don't kick in whilst you are sleeping or at work unless you wake up or run home to reset your time.

This would help the people that get that unexpected visit from the inlaws and have a genuine reason for leaving and having all the intention of coming back in a reasonable time frame.. not just because they want that awesome 25 perk pay out if the war is won while they aren't there or because they don't want to be left out if caps kick in too bad for those others that want to play.....it is every-bodies right to do what they want with their $15 but when it comes from selfishness well you should get what you deserve...a good swift boot  .

Now this may not help all get in due to caps and the like but it could help some

I have no idea if this is even possible..

[Dichotomy]

I like the idea but I think 20 minutes is too short.  45 maybe an hour is more realistic I think

[Chalenge]

This has come up before and Hitech has already said it will never happen.

[Dichotomy]

well it's still a fairly lame thing to do esp with all the gripes about the arena caps

[Infidelz]

perhaps they are downloading skins. Is the ENY calculation based on those that are not in tower?

[Lusche]

Is the ENY calculation based on those that are not in tower?

No, based on all players in arena... as it should be.

[Delirium]

If any player had any brains, he could make a macro and defeat any afk spotting software they could put in place.

No point in this request.
