Well theres a first time 4 everything!!

All my years of gaming i've never seen players stand around & do absolutely NOTHING!!i mean like they entered the game then made a sandwich & went outside for a walk!!WTF!!(!Referring to defiance)if theirs a minimal amount of players why not team-up start
some missions....SOMETHING!?!WTF!!(Again)

:)

 

New Rumor

As for "theres never been a drivable yacht in a game". Well theres a first time for everything.

 

Everything going well until...

Wait till you get to Flirtin' With Disaster on hard guitar. Never has a song been more aptly named for this game. Had about 20 goes and my best so far is 82% through (last bit of the solo) and then fail. It's the only song I still have to do on hard guitar.

 

Been happening for years on multiplayer games.

Luckily a lot of games know kick players that are inactive for a certain amount of time

 

All multiplayer games should boot any player whos inactive more than 2 minutes!!Period!!

 

In all fairness there might be a reason they are afk. Some Games even promote afk Players to a degree.

Onigiri for example will have many afk Players. There are a few reasons for this.

First, the Bazaar you can open in Onigiri will close under normal operation once you quit playing. If you want your Bazaar and therefore people buying your Items, you should stay on for as long as possible. This includes days, weeks and even months.

Second, a Party can be Joined from a Player that has afk and this will increase the difficulty and drop rate of Items, XP and In-Game Currency while in a Dungeon. The afk Player does not have to present, just in the Party.

Lastly, many Players in Onigiri (at least) will leave Whispers (an In-Game Method of Chat) to other Players in regards to aspects of the Game.

Afk is not new nor it is it a unique phenomenon.

 

Last thing i would label it as is new or unique!(in a bad way). If anything it a waste of time & electricity!!! if everybody doing their own thing and/or simply standing around like there is nothing to do!(For goodness sake team up with the other(sarcastically)
6 only other players online!!especially since it is a online only co-op game.Never happened in any other game i ever played!!Thanx anyway.

 

Why care if it's an MMO like Defiance? It's not exactly team based and theirs usually enough active players to join in on large events. That's the thing with MMO's free roam and dip in and out of stuff as you want. A lot of the time stationary players
will be in their inventories sorting stuff as well.

 

Most MMO games require online presence for things like shops and regeneration. I think it's due to the game's desire to show an active community so that more people join (you wouldn't want to join a game where only 20 people online at a given time, right?)

 

There are some games that there should be no reason why you have gone AFK, it annoys me to no end on Destiny when you drop into a strike and someone is AFK the whole strike. The game doesn't kick them either, it seems like in so many other game modes you'll
be kicked way faster than in strikes.

It's worse when you've done a strike with them and they were active like 30 - 60 seconds ago and then AFK for 10 - 15 minutes, it really does not take long to just back out of the game...

 

^ In a team based objective there is absolutely no excuse for it. But in a shared world MMO its not an issue in my view.

 

Pretty much. Most MMO's that have a shared world need Players afk or not.

 

Exactly.

Plus there are other things to take into account.

I'm playing Star Trek Online at the moment & you can mine dilithium on it but when a player is doing that it looks like they aren't doing anything at all to other players,it looks like they are afk.

 

Oh by all means, if you want to go AFK in a patrol that just means you're not getting in my way when I want to complete a beacon so whatever haha, but strikes gtfo.
