BloodKitten Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 have joined nightmare game, the host was sitting with a thumb up his/her butt at the spawn zone, the other 2 players were at extraction, i was not able to reach there without getting killed and was too far for the other 2 to even help, while in death camera, i noticed, they both at extraction, but since its a nightmare timer they were no able to start to 1 minute extraction timer, only after the host died, for being a jerk, then they could extract, all i have to say is, even hosts need afk kick timer at this point, unless solo.

HeatHunter Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 don't kick them, there could also be a good reason for him to be afk... Just make it so he doesn't count any more... A Player could be flagged if he desn't do anything for about 2min. if the other players reach extraction, the timer begins... btw. does the nightmare timer react different from the normal one? As I'm used to it, the timer starts if 50% of the team reach the extraction zone, for your 4 man team, the 2 ppl should have been enough to start the timer...

BloodKitten Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 from what i noticed, while the third player (host) was still alive, the extraction timer could not start despite having half the team there, i guess need to look into more since it could be a glitch.

Blatantfool Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 don't kick them, there could also be a good reason for him to be afk... People might not like it - but that isn't good enough. It is a mission where teammates will rely on you. They NEED you for something. It shouldn't be tolerated. There needs to be a kick timer. Similar to Riot games, DE needs to take the 'AFK if you dare' route. If you are in a situation where you DO have an emergency? Well then getting the boot from that mission wont be an issue worth caring about. Regardless - you shouldn't be AFK. You should only be starting up a mission when you know you are ready to play.

HeatHunter Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think a simple votekick option should solve most issues with trolls. If someone is really annoying, you could place a vote, no need for an automated system here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will kick others because they do more damage than them, for being too slow, being too fast. The amount of reasons people will nerd rage and kick people is too much. Vote kick systems are always bad for ANY game. I like the idea of the AFK kicking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will kick others because they do more damage than them, for being too slow, being too fast. The amount of reasons people will nerd rage and kick people is too much. but thats exactly the thing this game needs in my eyes... the possibility to kick people that are not playing for the team... the damage is nonsense, as you just see it in the end of mission dialog, end even there it's bugged... so both of the other things are annoying when you play in a group, really slow ppl, and rushers that ignore all enemys and leave them to the rest of the group. Both playstyles are problematic, but there are already systems in to counter them e.g. half of your group has to be in the extraction zone to start the timer, 1min. timer for extraction, doors that can only be operated by 2 players... All these are good things, but what about that damn vauban trolls that put a jump pad under your feet repetedly, or portal novas that lead to destinations you can't get back from or ... as this is the game mechanic, it can't be filtered automatically, because there are also good things you can do with those jump-pads/portals... So give the team the chance to vote... Of course this has to be a fair vote, 3ppl would be able to vote, if one votes the "no" option nothing should happen, but if 3 ppl are voting yes then something should definately happen ;) (the details of the voting system have to be looked at of course ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
