Topic: Away from keyboard / AFK tag

I think it is crazy that there is no afk flag on our portraits.  it would make sense to have a little flag appear in the corner or over the whole picture stating afk if inactive for 5 to 10 minutes.  Nothing like talking to yourself or expecting people in a channel to respond when they are not there.

Re: Away from keyboard / AFK tag

Good idea, as long as you have the possibility to disable this function for channels you specify, or only limit this to corp and/or squad chat.

Re: Away from keyboard / AFK tag

I seriously think is is most important for Corp and Squad to know who is afk, disable for other chat channels should be optional.

I have no idea how difficult this would be to design but this seems like a fairly easy QoL that would be a huge benefit to such a low population.

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Re: Away from keyboard / AFK tag

The only problem with this is that it promotes inactivity. Start using TS.

Re: Away from keyboard / AFK tag

Maybe I missed something.  How does this promote inactivity?  They way I read it, it lets others know you are afk.  Your comprehension is terrible.

with "promote" he meant that an AFK flag would give away intel about someone that could be used against him regarding several PvP activities, and as such, is undesireable for a majority of the die-hard PvP'ers.

your comprehension seems to be worse then his...

Re: Away from keyboard / AFK tag

No, I just wasn't thinking of it in a spy PvP way.  My bad.  Still like the idea.  Don't afk online if you're going to be away for extended periods or HOURS.  Duh!

Ps it does NOT promote inactivity.  If it did then the game and most the people online wild be active by that reasoning.  But they aren't, they are just for SHOW.
