FireBird73 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Suggestion Name: Increase AFK time!! Suggestion Description: You shouldn't be kicked when you are in a "Resting Zone" (Garage, or any rest stop along the road) Maybe set it up for No kick in resting zones, unless the server is nearing full capacity, then make it a 10 minute AFK in resting zones!!! Any example images: None Why should it be added: Was in my garage, Alt+Tab out to check my E-mail messages, and to find something on the ETS2MP forum, come back and I have been kicked!!! And I was only gone for less than 5 minutes!!! Not saying there shouldn't be an AFK kick at all, just saying it should be laxed a little bit!! The time given is to little as I know of a few people that were at a dealer upgrading their truck and got kicked for being AFK, they weren't even AFK, they were in game upgrading!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefKRah Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 maybe in resting zones the afk kick should be longer ... "The true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" -Socrates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwait Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I disagree. Server is already full and hundreds of people want to get in. I don't see why resting zones should have longer time until getting kicked for AFK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movvy Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 for the moment i agree with suldok.when server is bigger again i will disagree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBird73 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Well, That is what "Resting Zones" are for, Resting!!! Not saying there shouldn't be an AFK kick at all,,, just saying it should be longer in "Resting Zones" As I said in my OP, I wasn't even gone for 5min. and I was kicked,, That is a little ridiculous!!!!

Flips Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 What about in Resting Zones, it is an AFK spot. So we shouldn't be kicked when we are holding there. 1 Member since 24th December, 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2020 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 May be AFK kick should only be applied post 80% of server capacity. 3 "Trucking is like love... Only newbies go fast and end up early " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgsaysftw Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I was upgrading my truck for too long, got kicked out. I was not even afk,cuz i was moving my mouse (upgrading my truck. ) I agree the kick system is retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyforiphone Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would like a dynamic afk kick system compared to static so the time changes based on the players online and who is trying to connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirestarteR93 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 You are not supposed to be AFK in a multiplayer(MMO) game - if you gonna do something else, just get out, do what you have to do and free up the slot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konfig0 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The server is almost every hour full, why is the systen useless then, if the server get 3000+ slots then it may be a useless feature to use imo. I wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind.. Be slow to critize, be fast to appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbthrower Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It does seem quite a harsh afk timer.. Many other MMO (WOW,League Of Legends,Runescape,etc.) have an afk timer of 15 mins or more... I do agree with Usta though... I feel that it should only be implemented when the server is over 80% (and with EU#3 on it's way if I have heard rightly, it might not be even necessary any more).

StanceNation Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I agree with suldok maybe when the server size gets bigger but for the moment so many people are trying to log in and can't because people are afk. Yesterday I waited about 30 mins to log into ets2mp because it was full. It should even be less maybe 6-7 mins because of the wait. So -1 for me Thanks to, TruCkDr1v3rS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PursuitGamer6 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 -1. There are 100's of people who wants to join... It is still a MP game, if you're AFK. Then leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuteMuzzle Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 -1, you already have F1 and yours 10 minutes. With higher limit It would be unfair to the people still trying to connect. And even with free slots your truck is still using server processing time and taking memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggi Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think it's a hard one to agree on, I would like to see increased times, But at the same time why should someone else who wants to be trucking have to wait an extra 5 minutes or more for someone to leave. Also if I think it should be done on something like:0-500kms = 5mins500-1000kms = 10mins 1000-2000kms = 15mins 2000+kms = 20mins This to have to been done all in the current session. So if you load in the game do 500kms quit rejoin you start again. However if you crash you have 5-10 minutes to get back in or it then resets your session back to 0. So it goes on if you're actually driving or not, then people that are doing long trips have time to make a sandwich and have a wee before getting back to it.

As I said in the original post,,, People are getting kicked for being AFK while they are upgrading their truck,, How is that fair????? That can be fixed while they are actively fixing their truck I agree but if the screen of upgrading their truck is left on and the mouse hasn't been moved they should be kicked. It is people like you that stay in resting zones for 10 mins and prevent me, waiting 30 mins, to get on the server therefore I think that the afk time should be limited to 5mins with the exception of your mouse is moving while fixing your truck. Interpret this how you want but I am not saying either -1 or +1 1 Thanks to, TruCkDr1v3rS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't matter, neither here nor there, because until they introduce "Traffic" with no speed limiter on a US server, I am done with MP!!! Boring as hell!!! See, I prefer for a "Simulator" to be realistic,, and Speed Limiters, and NO traffic, is NOT realistic at all!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I prefer for a "Simulator" to be realistic,, and Speed Limiters, and NO traffic, is NOT realistic at all!!!!!!! Trucks in europe have a speed limiter, and traffic is not easy to code and syncing for all players. They would need a NASA computer to let AI drive over the whole map.

UMMI EST Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 +1 AFK system needs an upgrade My suggetions: 1. Resting zones: 15m if server is not on load and if the players has been on-line for some time 2. Highways: 5m if the truck is on the side of the road and hazards and hand brake on. Why? Cause I might need to visit a toilet room or I might get a phone call and it'll take a bit to fix it While on the job then coming back sometimes forces the job to go over time. 3. If possible, should be related to player's ban rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
