Syntackz Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Its a good suggestion,but its a lot of work to dev's to implement that.first they need to make all the parking area's around the map to make it NCZ zone because lets assume we have 2 parking slots and 5 members are waiting for it which will just cause chaos to park and we are having 10 minutes time before AFK Kick.if you really want more time for afk all you need to do just press Y->space->Enter or Y->/p->enter to reset afk timer .Imagine the server is full,many are waiting in queue but 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. Rejoining back is more easy and queue is just 5 mins thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKilat Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 ^ Aren't the parking lots already NCZ? There is no additional work for the dev team other than code to detect that you are in a parking lot and enable AFK as long as the server isn't busy. Why go all through that when we can improve afking? Is it really "away from keyboard" if you have to keep typing to prevent getting kicked? Did you missed the part where I said afk detection turns back on when the server is busy? It will work exactly how afk is right now except now you can indefinitely afk if you are playing in a quiet server and gives incentive to players to play in less populated servers. This can actually lead to shorter queue times. I appreciate the feedback although you may have missed some important points of my suggestions. Please do ask if you need clarification on some things.

Trigzd Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yes most parking areas are NCZ, and maybe a solution would be if you've been sat still for a while make the driver re-enter the 'ghost mode' that has been working so well when people login. This could maybe even prevent blocking problems to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKilat Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 ^ I don't see how is it related with my suggestion overall but at least we can confirm that parking spots are already NCZ and people would have no problem parking their trucks to afk. Is there anyway to call the attention of the devs? I want to know if they have plans in implementing this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckersNEW-Hao Nan Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I don't see anything wrong with the current system. It gives other players a chance to get in and the servers are full. If you want what long peried exits and joins when you come back to join another server if you can't come back after a while. To do a sacred thing, one must work hard, and I know some rules.

Harpreet Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I like this, you guys don't get it. You get kicked if the server goes full because it's dynamic but if you park properly you get extended time than normal +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkneon2002 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'd be happy if we'd be kicked to the login screen instead of having to close the game and launching it again. Not everyone has a very fast PC and especially accidental kicks for being AFK can be very frustrating.

Carrera18 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think a long waiting period will not be right. Even if it is a parking lot. why? because waiting for a long time will cause you to wait a long time on the login screen. If I have to restart the game, other players will have to do it for me. so everything is justice. but wait long time while we login, our will not like this situation.

Rootyyy Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I like this idea, even if this is not implemented I feel that taking you back to the login screen would be much better than "offline" in online... It can be a pain to shut the game, and restart it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is wrong with the current system is the inconvenience of afking. Being afk isn't against the rules since resetting the afk timer by sending empty messages every few minutes is allowed so why not remove that inconvenience altogether? The suggestion addresses afks on busy servers so you might want to read that.

Not everyone has a very fast PC and especially accidental kicks for being AFK can be very frustrating. Why not implement both? On top of indefinite afk on parking spots, if you did get kicked, you can quickly login back to the game. That's another suggestion though.

If you are concerned about afks filling the server, that was already addressed with afks being kicked once the server gets too busy and freeing more spots for incoming players. In fact, this suggestion can help ease the server burden because people will want to play on low population server to afk without interruption and that means less queue time overall. Thank you everyone for the discussions. Hopefully one of the devs will take notice and implement this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The server can host 3700 players. A tolerance of up to 3500 can be shown. When the limit of 3500 players is reached, this should not be done. This is my idea.

El Chileno Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I would prefer to see a timer for when you're about to be kicked (at least 30secs) on screen than a larger time frame, the login screen would be a nice feature for not having to do all the steps to get online again, but its very unlikely to be brought to us.

Indefinite afK is allowable below that number and everything above it reverts the afk system to the current one. I'm sure a lot of people would like that indefinite afk so they should, in theory, avoid high population servers and help lower queue time.

It helps but does not solve the problem that afking is technically allowed and yet we have to resort to the inconvenient way of sending empty messages every few minutes to bypass it. Do I need to tag someone from the dev team so they can come here and read my suggestion? If yes, can anyone tell me who to tag? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sshadmin Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I love this idea - Can this be a thing - it would be great to join EU 1 and be able to go to a rest stop and go do something irl and not get kicked so fast Signature Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshlynsGaming Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hello, I dont think a longer AFK time will be needed. If someone was AFK on the road and the AFK timer is now set to 10m that would be a wast of time to do and the user would just get banned for blocking. And you can always use (y , space , enter) to restart the timer if needed. Best regards -Carmella Stay happy and safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea is meant for uses of the parking lot where we can AFK indefinitely if the server is quiet. Blocking isn't an issue in NCZ so there should be no problem implementing it on a parking lot. Is it really "away from keyboard" if you are stuck in your keyboard to reset the timer? A side effect of implementing this feature is that players would be attracted to less populous servers to avail the indefinite AFK and lessening the overall queue times. Anyway, thank you for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
