xhavefunx Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Suggestion Name: Warning sound AFK Kicker Suggestion Description: A warning sound will be played when the red warning text pops up that if you don't move within a minute you'll be automatically kicked.An example: DAF warning sound. Would be pretty relevant: https://youtu.be/uk-BzR7wVS0?t=10sWhy should it be added?: When you're taking a break behind your desk, eating or something you sometimes mis the red warning text. It's kinda lame to be AFK kicked when you're technically not really AFK, just not driving. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhavefunx Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 You don't have to move, typing something in chat will also prevent you from getting afk kicked. There's no way you can abuse this because that would be the same as saying that the red warning text should be removed aswel, otherwise people will abuse it. Just adding something to warn a sense other than just our eyes would be very helpful, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandre Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Nice idea! This is helpful if you're for example pimping out your truck in the workshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dualznz Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 this is not actually a bad idea, but if your in game sound is low then this would be silent unless there was a volume controller in the MP settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom_Knight Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Its a l ittle bit annoying a Warning sound to be close in Kick. So just put a message. And i wanna explain: If you are like in a city have too many players with to many spam horn and the warning sound hit without listen you. This so im disagree. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Интегра] ResTed Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 -1 If you have moved, you hear the sound? If you need to take longer than 10 minutes, just go out of the game.

SprinterFS Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 -1 because you go AFK mainly for doing something away from your pc or alt+tab to some other apps -- how can you hear the sound in such situations? -- One banned troll means one sad troll.

Guest Tom Howard Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I do quite like this idea! I have also been kicked for AFK on several occasions when I was actually still there. A warning sound would be helpful . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movvy Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 i like this.very easy for when ur alt tabbed or even just busy on second monitor. also i got wireless headset wich i sometimes run around with,soo this could warn me to run back to the pc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirestarteR93 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 bringing life back in the topic eh? In WOT if you enter a battle and tab out while waiting it to start, the game's icon in the taskbar starts flashing in red when there are less than 5 secs to the start - maybe something similar will be more useful? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrademarkGamer Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 +1 From me. Good idea. I find myself wainting for people alot so to pass the time I look at my phone and by the time they have arrived ive been kicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest math-98 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm sure you put that : No more AFKs, everybody would be feared (Except his groopies but meh, I can't satisfy everybody) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raketaz Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I love this idea, it would be helpful if you were away for a minute or so to make a coffee parked up somewhere safe and you could have a warning before you got kicked.

BritishTeaBag Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It would be nice but may get quite obnoxious, To be honest it's a good idea but could be an option that you can turn on and off in the options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurdiStaN Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Good idea, the sound should be someone in the team screaming Employed in: Viva Trucking (VTC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simeta Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Good idea but most people get afk kicked for being alt+tabbed so wouldn't hear the warning sound anyway unless they are in windowed mode. Personally I have been afk kicked a few times this week now me and my convoy friends have started using the world of trucks job market feature to find jobs together easier.
