(XBOX)Oussii Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I guess this feature is good, as it prevents players to go and hide while others do the job... HEY, WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DE..... you overlooked something very important I play with Banshee on Interception, and all i get is i am not eligible due to inactivity. (yesterday me and my friend got it twice while playing banshee). Sound quake requires that the frame stays in its place during the round to lock the map. and you reward me with that ******** ? I guess my dear DE you should review this, or else why you gave us the sound quake ? Hope you can find a way to fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)Oussii Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Why would i ? Is using the sound quake considered AFK now? if yes, then they should announce it or take away that power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arielessar Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The AFK detector is registered from lack of movement. Since Sound quake doesn't allow you to move it triggers the AFK Detector. This has been mentioned before when they introduced the system. The AFK Detector takes about 2 minutes to register, so every minute in a half, turn off the power run in a circle and recast the ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillbrookWest Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You are right! As a banshee main i support this. DE, increase Sound Quake energy cost 10x please. We can't have players getting kicked out of missions needlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel you bro, but is it logic to be triggered on sound quake? what if i am on sortie 3 and cannot deactivate the power or else my team mates will die?

arielessar Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 For a sortie 3 mission, there are several alternatives for prevent death for a few seconds. I know the system isn't extremely well thought out and could probably go for an update, but that's just how it's currently programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfhsanseiIII Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yea. It's not that much trouble to turn it on and off. Also, the ACL system has been around for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)DShinShoryuken Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There is no a reason to be rooted in place for 2 minutes in this game unless there is a I AM GROOT Warframe that I have not heard of with the power to plant themselves. If you ONLY use Sound Quake as Banshee....you doing lots wrong. And do not even say that is her only power worth using to save your team from deathville. Ahh....skip it. Just keep pressing 4 to get AFK locked out. There is a reason they put that into the game. You might figure it out one day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player could activate it, and go make a sandwich, watch some YouTube and then be rewarded for not even being tabbed into the game. (yes yes, extreme example.) And it was announced, when the AFK timer was put in place, many months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nlim Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Eh, problem is the ability not the afk system. I literally use it as a afk button when I have to take care of something since there isn´t much else you can do when you use it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then find better teammates because if they cant survive the couple of seconds for you to move a bit, they are not supposed to be in a level 100 mission.

ArcusVeles Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 All you have to do is move around in the last few seconds and it'll de-AFK you. Just wait for when you know the mission/wave/whatever is going to end and move in a straight line from your original position (or do it a little earlier and just go loot the map). You won't be blocked from rewards so long as you do just what I said. It doesn't care if you stood still for the entire run, so long as you were moving at some point within the last few minutes.

(XBOX)BULLS 0N PAR4DE Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Moving around is not the solution. I contest its bugged. I got the same message using Ivara in prowl and Artemis bow. I was just turning in a circle and got the shaft for doing so. I had no reason to have to leave my point. I could cover and protect 2 points from one location. Glad to see protecting 2 points is so rewarding.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cghawk Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I think the bigger problem is that it's nowhere explained there even is such a system in place, if you didn't read the patch which introduced it you would have no idea why you're suddenly ineligible for reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you can find a way to fix that I do have a feeling that just standing still with a channel ability toggled on for several minutes isn't how they wish for the game to be played since you could just as well be alt-tabbed out of the game during that. If they are likely to change something then my guess is that it is more likely to be a change to Banshee than to the AFK system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have changed anything about it since 2013 other than prevent EV to restore Bashee's energy while it is active, based on the wiki. If you are able to have it toggled on for several minutes in the current state of the game then that doesn't seems like it was originally intended. So I can see them being more likely to mess with Banshee than the AFK system. Edited July 24, 2016 by Golmihr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
