A 2 minute AFK timer seems a little harsh. It takes more time than that to get up and use the restroom and get a drink/snack, etc. I think 5-10 minutes is the standard for most games.

Have they ever mentioned what exactly being "AFK" entails? If being AFK allows you to be kicked from the group then two minutes of people doing literally nothing is reasonable. I've played a quite a few games where disconnecting/intentionally idling assholes can ruin things and the only recourse was to quit the group entirely. On the other hand, if it's a two minute timer and then you get warped back to town then that would be outstandingly dumb.

I’ll just put this here— I wouldn’t worry about the AFK thing. There’s going to be so many goddamn goons to group with, we won’t have an issue. With the clan system, discord and our esteemed thread here, I wouldn’t worry about a thing. Go AFK? Message your group and tell them to hold up. You’ll be railing your own rear end if you pub up. We’ll make sure the community here is awesome.

It's 30 minutes for most MMOs, actually. 2 minutes is insanely laughable. Fallout 76 had a 10 minute timer, and you couldn't do poo poo with that. It was changed to 30 minutes in the following patch. 2 minutes is unheard of, especially for a multiplayer game. I'm not going to suddenly have to shout "Oh poo poo I forgot <insert something here> guys, let me DROP loving GROUP". I don't want to have to worry about this poo poo when I'm trying to play a game, and I happen to have to get up for something, like the pizza delivery guy or answering a phone call. Yeah, they'll be changing that pretty drat quick, I think.

2 mins or less is reasonable for a FPS like Overwatch but not for the MMO style of longer content they’re going for here.

2 minutes isn't enough time to do anything. Imagine trying to explain to someone how to run a dungeon or boss mechanics and getting booted by the timer. Or, how about getting a random disconnect/crash and getting booted before getting the chance to log back in.

Happy New Year guys. Can you believe the demo is this month? Then, the actual release of the game drops next month? I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come for this game. We are going to keep those fingers crossed that this game owns bones and that we can build an inviting, fun community of goons. I just wanted to say thanks to those following along, offering insight, posting positively and those challenging what’s to come from BioWare with grace. At the end of the day, I think we all agree we believe this has major potential and we are here because we want this to be excellent. Bring the heat when it’s fit and send the praise where it belongs. Here’s to an awesome 2019 ahead with you all, flying our javelins around Anthem and conquering all the strongholds across all 3 platforms. Note: Since the demo is officially this month, it’s time to get ready. The discord has been updated for PC, Xbone and PS4. Feel free to start funneling at https://discord.gg/qrG6XsJ  Lastly, I gotta do a major revamp on the OP. I’ll do it justice. I am going to enjoy putting it together. My hype is critical mass. See you all in game in 24 days!!!!!!!!!!

No group game I have ever played has people completely motionless when explaining a mechanic.

It's probably an extreme overreaction to a problem that plagued Destiny 1 for a while. Basically people were going AFK during dungeons and forcing people to two man them and get the full rewards. Since this is EAs first loot shooter and first MMO in a while, they're probably looking at other games in the genre and getting a little too clever for their own good, in this case. Luckily people are already loudly expressing that 2 minutes is way too short and they seem to be pretty open to listening to such things, so we'll see what comes of it.

When peeps did that I just kept on pushing them off the cliff or into mobs. Or start an encounter and just leave.

I think groups should have an option to kick AFK players at 2-mins, but auto-kicking will just cause frustration considering people will be tabbing out often for Wiki/Discord/Social.

Yeah thinking about this, 2 minutes does suck. I have to assume they’ll change that. Can’t wait to run to the restroom at Usain Bolt speeds to avoid being kicked from a group.

2 mins is plenty imo. "MMO" is being thrown around a lot, but what I've seen of the game looks way more Destiny 2 than WoW or whatever style 45+ minute dungeons. Maybe the end game stuff will be longer but the mission in the alpha and what they showed on stream took what, 15 or 20 minutes? And getting gud won't make it any slower. And there's matchmaking so just hit the bathroom before queueing up. It'd drive me nuts especially if mobs scale up for more people being in the party if there was say a 5 minute timer and some rude person queues in afk putting everyone down a person for a quarter of the whole run. Not even gonna talk about how it's gonna work with raids cause they haven't even been announced yet and they could totes put a longer timer or something there.

That's kinda the thing. Everyone immediately jumped to the AFK == Autokick conclusion. It may/may not be true, but it sounds like a pretty obvious issue that would quickly come up in playtesting.

Monolith. posted:So just move around every so often? No group game I have ever played has people completely motionless when explaining a mechanic. Yeah, an AFK timer is a timer for how long someone has been sending zero inputs to the game. No typing, no mouse movement, nothing. 2 minutes is still ludicrously short, though.

People fussing about AFK timers and post release content, I still want to know if they’re addressing the awful mouse controls. I want to like the game but that’s a deal breaker.

4 “new” pieces of info I just read from Ben Irvo tweets: 0) To avoid an edit, whatever: Lvl 30 is MAX level at launch. Level cap will raise over time and has been confirmed via Ben Irvo. 1) Inspect won’t be in at launch. They want to add it in post-launch. Bummer. 2) Destiny players rejoice: For those who did play, remember how you were locked into certain guns in certain slots? That isn’t the case here. If you want to roll two snipers, you can. Two heavy explosive weapons? You can. This is good. 3) Somebody asked in discord recently, so I’ll clarify...ahem, no text chat IN GAME. At all. Their reasoning are those new parameters in effect as of 1/1/19, which I’ll just let this article showcase: https://www.engadget.com/amp/2017/12/28/fcc-extends-waiver-for-video-game-accessibility-for-the-last-tim/ I hate, hate, hate not having text chat at all, and I bet we will see, much like Destiny 2, where clan chat gets added in at a later date due to community outcry. I’ll manage and it won’t deter me at all but it’s a bummer. Discord and voice chat is going to be important here.

Hopefully the game flow will be clear enough that you want to constantly talk to your teammates. I play a ton of Warframe and there is a narrator (The Lotus) that updates you on what you need to do at each stage. I've never been confused on what to do in that game and never feel like I HAVE to talk to my pub teamates.

there's next to no reason to want to talk to a random video game pub in general, the medium isn't really relevant. like it's dumb but it's not like I really give a gently caress about whatever Reddit poster winds up in my lobby wants to say.

The part that is really confusing is that this is advertised heavily as a multiplayer game. This is absolutely not a game for solo players. Yes, you can play solo but you will be gimping yourself. I sent a message to Mark Darrah about 8 months ago and implored that we need clan chat at the very least, but in-game chat is important to building staying power for the game. Bah. It’s kinda like this: Diablo 3 is a bit lonely TO ME if I don’t have chat going on. Destiny 2, which I personally love to this day, was rough at launch with no chat at all. I would hope two games that this is heavily influenced by would have been enough to help them not make the same mistake. Lack of game chat isn’t good at the end of the day. Whether you use it or not, we have a lot of team features here this game is centered around and it seems like a no-brainer there should at least be the ability to talk to your Stronghold team, or maybe your clan. We get none of that. There’s the white knighters who say this isn’t an issue on Reddit, but mark my words, they’ll change their tune about a month into launch. For gods sake Mr. BioWare, what if I have a cold and I am hoarse that day and want to play with my friends shiiiiiet!!!
