afk timer

[KingGodDiabloZ]

I agree with this +1. It should be added. We had it yesterday on our convoy. People would get kicked when preparing because they didn't know when they had to move. 

[Syntackz]

Its a good suggestion,but we are having 10 minutes time before AFK Kick.
Well you will be warned before getting kicked 
if you really want more time for afk all you need to do just press Y->space->Enter or Y->/p->enter .Imagine the server is full,many are waiting in queue and you will be at afk. If you can't finish what you need in 10 minutes then all you have to do is quit from server and give others a chance to join server,when you have completed , you can join back in the server.

I think the afk timer is less then 10 min, I have been kicked for being afk, with out warning, while I was waiting in a city for a friend to get there. I moved my truck every 2 to 3 min before I was kicked. if the afk timer is actually 10 min, it should have been reset every 2 to 3 min.

Afk timer is a good idea for obvious eeasons but could do with being maybe 15 or 30 mins i.e enough time to have a non-rushed meal. A countdown wouldn't go amiss.

[NeonLeon]

Good idea, maybe in the menu. I think it would be a good help for most of the players, for me too.

I like the idea, they should add this

[Guest]

well i do not know if it's a good idea .. There should be a longer time to afk time 

[Guest]

This could be rather useful 

Perhaps a small piece of text in the corner stating "You have been AFK for "X" amount of time".

Some people setup  autohotkey to keep from getting kicked..I really don't see the need for something like that..Why buy a trucking game if all your gonna do is sit??

easy so they can block the roads or that are eatting pizza

There is already a warning message before the kick, but it can be beneficial if done as an optional thing.

[Guest]

I think the afk time could be a bit longer. Even though it is true that you are loosing space for other players on the server.

+1 Good idea. Add this :-)

[speedytech]

+1 It would be useful

yes but some people park up and do stuff on their phone or something like that but dont always see the quick red message in chat telling them to move or will be kicked for afk

 

I agree. Sometimes i park my truck at an parking. for example to send messages or to call someone (its dont text and drive :P)

[Guest]

if you are afk, then you are not at your computer to see the timer... pointless!

Pluss it makes a space for someone who is actually at their keys to get on the server..

i liked this suggestion.I think it needs to be added to the game.because we need to know when to kicked. +1

[AshlynsGaming]

Great idea this would really help the player not to spam th e in game chat be ok we  they don't know when it will kick you.

[Flynn Dawson]

In my opinion this would be the perfect thing for peoples which want to farm playing hours for some reason.

With beeps or a timer you just regulary check your PC-Screen in order to see how long you've left untill you get kicked.

Everytime when you almost get kicked, you'll just move the truck a bid in order to reset the timer.

 

I don't see the reason of adding this feature, the game is meant to be played right?

If pauzing continiously, other players have to wait more before being able to join the game due to the queue.

If you wish to get playing hours you can do this in offline mode, therefore I do not support this suggestion.

I would state it this way:

when the player stops in a non-collision area, the kick time is 30 min.

so the player can solve something important and not take the kick.

and if he does not return within 30 minutes. the kick would be done. thus preventing the player from occupying someone's place on the server.

No offence, but I believe that 30 minutes is far beyond any reasonable time period for being away from keyboard.
It also makes no difference where (e.g. non-collision area) the player is afk, as he/ she will occupy a slot the same.

 

If a player needs to attend to other things, he/ she should simply log off.

 Yes, that seems to me a good option, an AFK Timer if you want to drink something for example that you can see in the picture how long you can stand AFK, or when you stand still for more than 10 seconds that you get the AFK Timer see 

[SpeedKing]

yes we know when to be kicked if there is a beep

[SMURFY.]

If you're sat at your computer, you will see the one-minute warning, if you're on your phone just remember to look or if it's a video look at how long it is and use that as your timer. As someone else said, if you are AFK you won't see the timer anyway.

it should add to Tab Screen i think...
