Need vote kick option.

[anicKin]

Too many losers standing afk.

Sick of asking for this on every game. It's like game devs need to learn all the process we made in gaming in the past 20 years. Really effing sick.

This.

5 Minute Idle Timer that requires distance rather than general movement, damaging mobs, or healing resets the timer.

Personally, that's a non-issue because it's rare. Difficulty doesn't spike with squad size, it only decreases, even if someone is AFK.

You didn't specify which one you were talking about; I literally never seen an AFK in matchmaking, a lot of times people get placed in matchmaking late or join later.

Dude you have no clue but you are the most vocal here, wtf?

Why would i need to mention which mode i am talking about when it's crystal clear which AFK impacts the most.

When you are defending and the game throws waves at you, every single player is important (at least for now).

It's because no one cares about AFKs, because they aren't a problem. There's dozen of ways to solve it already in the game, it's a non-issue.

AFKs are annoying, but that's all they are. They don't change the difficulty in matches. If more mobs spawned per player, then it be different.

Instead matches are geared around 2 DPS, and 2 non-DPS. Matches can be completed easily with 2 DPSes. Especially in higher difficulty hard modes.

You're overthinking the issue, Looter Shooters always have AFK "issues" but it's never really a true issue because you can just... deal with.

Aggressive Idle Timers is the way to go, have one that requires damage, healing, and distance you get kicked after 1 minute.

Remember though, if you kick an AFK in matchmaking. YOU WONT get another ally. Matchmaking happens, then no more ever joins. That's the base mechanic in this game rn.

Keep in mind as well, the vast majority of vote kicks will fail. Happens in ever game with vote kicks.

Has been in games for decades: Not a good idea.
Better idle timer, which is evaded by something heavy on the keyboard/gamepad.

GENIUS

I am trapped in this colossus for hours and hours because of 3 retarded, mentally handicapped, sons of the greatest ♥♥♥♥♥ who come in to troll, to disconnect, who do not know how to do the mechanics even if they repeat the boss 20 times

I understand your frustration but I just encountered a pretty bad long Shader Preparation stage that lasted basically the entirety of the Void Intercept battle. They need to fix this or choose to prep the shaders at launch otherwise this game will be unplayable for A LOT of people.

Same, sometimes it doesn't occur, and I lag into the mission.

I think people are overbloating the afk issue due to this.

You think? Well, the devs agree with this thread.

"Don't go afk" is a big fat banner now.

They actually disagree, you never read their post did you?

Make votekick only available to randoms, not premade teams.

But it got much better imo!

After the latest patch i found that the missions have started, my other team mates are battling it out and here i am, STUCK loading bloody shaders. I'm shamed when i load in and find out to find i've been basically stood idle there to them.
So don't judge everyone too harshly unless they spend the ENTIRE time idle. Some people literally are stuck loading unable to help it. I don't have a potato pc, in fact mine is very good. Yet for some reason it keeps making me load shaders constantly.

I've stopped doing group content rn until i can make it stop so i'm essentially not leeching even unintentionally.

Solution is there but you are as lazy as the afkers

True. I am the problem. Not the losers who stand AFK.

Will work on that.

As someone who has decades of internet and gaming experience by now, I can say that vote kick systems are only seldomly abused and in the majority of cases, serve their purpose well.

Keep in mind that in a game like this, there is no actual benefit to kicking people who did nothing wrong. You don't get more loot or experience for doing, you don't get anything at all, so the incentive to abuse the kick system isn't there. If there were an actual gain in kicking someone before killing the boss, that would be a different matter.

If 3 out of 4 people in a matchmade group agree that the 4th should be kicked, then that should happen. Same with 2 out of 3. Vote kick should be disabled in 2 player groups, of course. You're not often going to get 2 or 3 people to agree to kick someone purely out of spite for no reason.
