| Author | AFK- 12 Hour PvP Ban |
|---|
Everione can have problems with internet.
-Regular 2 hour -2 luck penalty
-Banned from PvP for 12 hours
-If AFK is repeated within 24 hours after the penalty ends, the next penalty is 6 hours longer (Note this resets if the streak is broken).
-Can only play in an "AFK" battle. These would be for those banned from regular play by the AFK penalty. Regular players can join at there own risk (filter for these fights also).
Is too hard for them. -2 luck is ok, we don't have to change anything.

| Ok, a few things. One, 12 hours would be online or offline. The point is the keep them away from PvP for 12 hours, not do whatever Omega22 said. And again, we don't want it to harsh for those who lose connection. But two, when you lose connection, 9 out of 10 times you can at least become reconnected before you go AFK. And if you consistently can't, sorry, but maybe the PvP of this game isn't for you. People don't want to play with people who constantly AFK, for connection or any other reason. |

I have been in battles where a player types " hurry up, I have to leave in 10 minutes" as the battle begins! Talk about making the rest of the players angry! There may be legit connection problems but why should others suffer?
I would bet over half the AFKers just leave for some other reason and not due to connection. I know this because many times when the battle ends I have gone to write the AFKer and he/she is still online. This nonsense made me stop playing PVPs. |
| Gyver- That's just one thing that will never happen, sorry. |
| but 12hours is to long atleast 7 or 9 |
| It's exellent idea and should work , imho , in PvP ambushes also because there are players , who just click for move to another location and AFK after it |

I think 12 hours is a good time amount. It doesn't have to be online time, so they can go to something else, or just play non-PvP. And unless the AFK is done in the morning, most of the time will be spent sleeping.

This one could go either one. Let's assume AFK in ambush brings the penalty. They should still be able to be ambushed I think, otherwise it puts others at a disadvantage. Sure the thief gets less exp and skill, but they still get a free point.
I don't think there should be a penalty for clicking travel and then leaving, many people do it, and it isn't a big problem for anyone. But it the thief is AFK- well that is like a duel or group battle; the thief has joined a challenge,and should not AFK during it. |
Sorry for double post. Modi- You're level 10, barely anyone AFKs anymore, and PvP and downright fun. Most fun thing in the entire game IMO.
The most I'll do is join PvP and say "Play fast plz I have to leave in an hour and 10 minutes" but I've never actually had to leave before. |

2 problems:
I get ambushed by a thief and because i do something else like read forums i sometimes might afk...even Kotrin said he might do this sometimes. So then i can't pvp for 12 hours.
My connection sometimes fails me......so that means that i then get a 12 hour pvp ban
Takesister's idea about how it is only online time would kill me...... |
| but if i need to go ? then i get the ban? -1 |
I think this new rule shouldn't target thieves or ambush victims. And there isn't any point in it. Normally people have a look at PC when they are thieve. If my victim is afk, most of cases it's easy xp without recovering. But I don't like it beeing forced to watch my PC if I travel.
This rule only should target group battles, because here AFK really hurts. Maybe the penalty should go up everytime someone went afk in a group battle. First time 2 hours -2 luck, second time a 6 hour ban from group battle, third time a 12 hour ban. Therefore an afk counter has to be created.
But what a fool I am writing so much... Nothing will happen. ^^ |

I have to agree. Dump the thief thing- people can AFK from reading the forum, as I have done a few times (but never full AFK), and no real harm to thief for an AFK victim.
AFK thief just gets the 1 hour penalty before another ambush.

About connection. If you're connection is bad enough that you're AFKing- well, maybe people want to play a battle with others who have a stable enough connection they won't AFK. Usually though, you should be able to reconnect before you go AFK.
You have to leave in the middle of battles? You should be banned from PvP. Don't play if you have to leave. lol.
And if it's a real emergency, I doubt you'll be hurt much by not being able to PvP for the next 12 hours. If you even get back to the computer in the next 12 hours... |
Agree with Xerfer. Any combat you agree to (joint hunt, PVP or your ambush), you need to take responsibility. It sucks if you have a bad connection, or have to go, but there needs to be some consequence to the fact that you have ruined the combat of the other people in the PvP combat.
An even better solution, is that in group battles, I would like a "Hand over control" option to an ally, if you have to go AFK for the emergency.
Then it's only the poor connection people who have a problem, and sorry, but my personal opinion, if your connection is poor enough that a PvP ban for 12 hours for going AFK is gonig to happen enough to bother you, you need to think about your fellow player a bit more, and less about yourself. |

Thank you for understanding! |
| Oops, I meant 35 xP |
@35:
Agreed, a thief has responsibility for his fight, so he should suffer penalty too.
"Hand over control" has been discussed already and I don't want to see a good player leading 2 armies in field. Imagine possibilities.
Though a (not too smart) KI would be nice to take over afk army. So afk team still has some (even little) chance to win and the other team still can get full xp. |
| Maybe thief penalty should be something less because of TGI renting. No fun at all, if you miss a fight and won't be able to ambush next day. (Remember 12 hours penalty are in fact a whole day without pvp for most people) |
38:
Lol, don't see the difference between 2 good ppl leading 2 armies and 1 person leading 2... well i suppose you can get crazy possibilities Oo... but leave that to another topic.
Thief- yes, penalty unless you are below thief guild 2. Simple enough. |
