AFK ( Away From Keyboard) Setting.....

[snog87]

Hi there,:)
I think a great idea should be an AFK (Away From Keyboard) setting for when you are away from the keyboard.
With the setting on, no monster will attack you and you will be in your mini house, if a monster were to attack you when you were away from the keyboard you would be VERY VERY SAD......:mad: Also it will say 'Away From Keyboard' above your head
I think this would be a fantastic idea and something great for everyone.:cool:

This would probably even increase the numbers of players who camp in front of the King Marlone spawn place. XD I think it makes sense that the monsters can attack you anytime (even while resting), well, cause have you ever tried to tell a nearby pack of lions that you have a urgent issue here at your laptop? :D
Advantage would be, that this 'pause'-replace let's you go to the bathroom anytime you need! ^^ But a Return Scroll or just a simple logout are enough right? ;)

i think that an AFK setting would be really awesome... but if u were about to die... and u used the AFK setting right before u die and then wait for the monster to get killed, wouldnt it kinda be unfairish?

I was thinking about that.... Maybe you couldn't enter the AFK setting while you where battling something

have a 10 second delay (like when you log off), if you get attacked during that time, the timer stops and you arent allowed into AFK mode, this will prevent abuse. Well most of it anyway.

Thats a fantastic idea! I think i'll go with your idea.

Camping boss spawns would be heavily absued. An entire guild group AFKs in front of TK, GGK, etc etc and wait for the spawn. Then they pop out and farm it easily.

I think just a simple AFK above your head and an automated return whisper "I am Away from Keyboard." would be just fine. No need to go afk in dangerous spots anyways. I can almost always find a small spot where you can be safe.

Sometimes there are no safe spots.....

I agree with Nerria. This would make camping a boss WAY too easy. My vote is no.

[snog87]

You can think what you think, but i vote yes:cool:

I was thinking..... And I have come up with an idea..... Here it is..... You cannot enter the AFK (Away From Keyboard) Setting in KQ (Kingdom Quest) and Guild Wars. Tell me what you think of my idea please.

Also, wouldn't it cause lag?
Like, nobody would ever log off.

[snog87]

If you are AFK for longer then 10 minutes you will log out automatically.
