|---|
Hi.
I would like to make an proposal for automated ban for AFK in battles. I played a lot of battles and in many of them were AFK players. It destroys winning , sometimes loss of xp and at the end durability of ARTs.
SO..what about to ban these players? F.e. 24 hours ban. Or personal BAN list ( like can't join battle with this player...and if founding game , player on ban list can't join - or player on any of participant's ban list can join ).
For miss use, this will be as an option to turn on , when AFK from combat leaves it will be autobanned. Players can only remove these players from list ( f.e. if they know, they had connection problems and apologize later ).
What about this? |
Your idea of a banlist looks good to me. Maybe there has to be a time of testing to see, how it is used then.
Players like yzmking (http://www.heroeswm.com/pl_transfers.php?id=4387743) could be isolated from other gamers, which is quite a better way to avoid cheaters than banning oder blocking them through admins. |
The thing is is it possible for the server to know when people got disconnected because penalty of losing fight and -2 luck is already too much for a connection loss. Penalty at first afk battles could be too harsh because it would penalize indiscriminaly people losing connection.
Wouldn't it be fair to add some kind of counter for the number of times a player stays idle in battles?
At some point, you are sure someone is an afk abuser, then you can inflict max exponential penalties and tag this character, and give the opportunity for people to kick that player from the match/hunt/quest they organize. More the player abuses, more fights that player will need to fight normally to remove the tag. being kicked from all fights and struggling to find finaly a match could make them think again... |
| poor Almer thats the bad side of playing at low lvl at lvl 9 afk is almost unknown word unless i play against low lvl players. |
to Marked: but everybody has to start sometime. I personally know 6 people, who stopped, because they hate AFK so much. On f.e. 4 lvl it's not rare to have in 6 battles in row somebody AFK. Many times when fight ends.
Personal banlist is one solution, some automatic server side script is another solution. I can handle this...but it's ruining the game ...and many players can leave this, because of many AFKs.
And , for programming part. It's php = means, i work with this...so my estimation is for automatic script about 3-4 hours, for personal banlist about 5 hours. |
| set the turn timer on 30 second if u think they do it intencionaly and have a bit patience i was lvl 4 once too i know how it works. and u cant ban every1 they might have connection problems. i know it happened to me few times too. |
You cannot decide, what reason an afk is in general.
So dont ban automatocaly an afk. There are lots more reasons to leave a computer than a computergame. |
| yeah i agree with tron since i go to school and sometimes my mum gets me of the comp so she can play games and makes me afk cause its happened 2 now and thats in 1 day |
| good idea must be implemented. |
Something very similar...

definitely something should be done in this problem. |
| What about adding -10 initiative for fleeing for 2 hours. |
| its a bad idea we should not ban people as their computers might have crashed or some other important reason. The current punishment is good as it is . |
