Zrazies Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) This probably going get locked or deleted but every single time I had been in Alert mission and there's always at least 2 players AFK while others even me doing all the work. This is getting old.. Especially Alert for a cell just few minutes ago. A player standing right at spawn spot while 3 of us trying to defend for 10 waves. Last time I actually AFK with a other player that were AFK while defend mission from last few alert ago. It end up failed mission... Tough for that player. DE need do something about it. At least let us have vote to kick or have it automatic kick a player for amount of time while AFK I know about SOLO mission but some of Alert mission is easier to be completed with players than SOLO it. Example of last alert mission for cell few minutes ago for defending. Edited July 9, 2014 by Zrazies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You can screencap their stats at the end of the mission and contact support about it. Sharing this info with us fellow players won't bring you justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero_Effect Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 If they're afk they're probably not very alert at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure but AFK player don't receive any reward from alert if AFK had done nothing. Like you see stats end of the mission. If it end up all 0% in that player stats and receive no rewards. I had been around gaming for many years and yes of course players always want to earn many reward for free even do nothing and still earn the reward. Even so I don't see any point of play the game if you don't want do anything and still earn the reward. Edited July 9, 2014 by Zrazies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biobasher Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I like the idea of if someone gets 0 all round they get nothing, but then there's cases where people will just go out, shoot someone once and just go hide somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That is exactly what stupid AFKers deserve. Part of the problem with name and shame is that we only get one side of the story and we can't do any kind of follow up to find out what happened. I personally am not keen on the concept of someone running around telling other players that I AFK/leech when I don't, especially since there isn't really any way to find out if that's happening. When I run into AFK'ers, I drag mobs to them and let them die before finishing the mission. They get no shared experience or credits that way. If I run into them often, they get put on ignore and I just bail anytime they show up on the team list. Also, this isn't really an alerts sub-forum topic. You might want to go to the feedback sub-forum next time. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/forum/193-feedback-categories/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osheroth Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 We should have a "kick" option for the squad, period. I don't appreciate when I'm hosting a T4, asked for people with endgame gear and next thing I know they're activating lasers and life support early dying etc.../rantUnfortunately, unless you hosted that alert, which makes me think you didn't, it isn't really their fault you are expecting sharp players even though you chose to do it being "online" (doesn't change the fact that they're scumbags).

But I'm not sure but AFK player don't receive any reward from alert if AFK had done nothing. Like you see stats end of the mission. If it end up all 0% in that player stats and receive no rewards. Actually, the game will still put you in a squad with someone who is on your ignore list. I ignored someone at one point and later in the day I was in a squad with them again. It just makes it so if they say something you cannot see it, as far as I can tell. Also, on the flip side, I've been placed in many alerts when all the enemies have been killed or there are only one or two more that get killed before it even finishes loading on exterminate missions. Sort of lame to not get to do anything, and getting no reward and having the game eat up your ability to re-run the mission is lame too for something I have no control over. Sometimes though I get the reward because I can at least run to the extraction point, unless the game spawns me at the beginning or somewhere super far away. Oh, and why is there even this forums section? The Twitter and RSS feeds are a much better and more complete method of getting alerts. There are even apps you can run that will notify you as soon as they come up. :P Edited July 10, 2014 by CedarDpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionAc3 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 It seems as though there are many good idea's to preventing the AFK machine. Why not all of them? Because then they would need to bring on additional staff for support tickets when you do participate and get nothing for it because bugs do occasionally occur. I do like the 0/0/0/0 Idea. No participation, no reward. This may bring on the argument that it is unfair to casual players who end up in games with min-maxers or elitist who end every match with >95% of the stats but as long as the requirement is 0/0/0/0 I think that may be avoidable. It could then spark the afk'ers in to participating for a kill or 2 and then afking again but anything is better than nothing, right?I know sometimes, I've done it once, where I clicked to queue up for a team, and then tabbed because it was taking awhile to get a team, youtubing and what not, came back and my team was halfway through the darn alert. Of course I did participate for the remainder, which is better than being totally afk, but I'm sure it still annoys people who are down a team member. What I'm saying here is that although it isn't right, it doesn't always happen intentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemoa Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 People who doesnt leave the Spawnroom/Area after the first 3 Minutes should just get kicked or they shouldn't get a reward. The other ideas are pretty nice, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylecrafts Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) You should alert them. To the fact they are being a #$&(%. Alert them via a swift kick to the nuts. EDIT: Wow censor. Just wow. Edited July 10, 2014 by Kylecrafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
