There is an AFK kick timer for Strikes. It's possible that they were just messing around instead of helping the team. I'll give the team feedback that this kick system could be improved. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JBcMQN4eH4&feature=youtu.be This is the kind of bullshit we're talking about when we refer to people abusing macros to afk farm strikes. Video quality is janky af, but i had to get it recorded to prove the point.

  • Not really working is it most of the time we can't move on with the strike because some moron won't progress

    Cozmo, Many folks Wall-walk which negates the AFK timer. They simply walk their character into a wall and keep it walking while they go AFK. The AFK system, itself, works just fine IMO. If people see them do this, go bump them or slide into them. This stops their walking and they get booted soon after.

  • Don't forget that some people like to explore the levels looking for things, admiring art or taking cool screenshots. There's no way for people to go into strikes alone, so whilst their way of playing and enjoying your game is frustrating for others, they don't have an alternative. There's also some people (like me) who will happily actually play all of a strike, seeing how many things i can take on at once or just adding to my prophecy weapon kills tally emblem, whereas others will be running past everything, especially in the infinite forest. I bet some people assume I'm 'afk' just because I'm not at the end, whereas I'm actually busy shooting my way through.

  • The current system is fine for this, it allows my friend to go sort his kid and then come back to me at the boss's sometimes. Please instead look into changing the weekly strike requirement to 5 instead of 3 and then in return remove the linked subclass requirement. I don't always have a teammate available at the time to match with and not be stupid.

  • Main issue is on PC. Player can bypass this afk system. They can literally use a program that auto move up and down in one spot. For console I think a simple rubber band can cause player to consistantly move.

  • In regards to the improved kick system, I’d suggest having to harm a certain amount of enemies in the strike areas to deal with those who are AFK or those who simply do not assist in the strike.

  • I went through an entire run of the Arms Dealer strike with an AFKer sitting at the start and not moving. I reported him for being AFK 3 times and he was never kicked from the strike.

  • First off, you need to make sure you complete the Drifters initial quest with the new season. You have to play some Gambit Prime and then do a Tier I Reckoning. If you have completed that, make sure your Pursuits tab is not completely full of Quests/Bounties.

  • Is funny because even if they don't help me, I can do the strikes all by myself 😂

  • If there is a timer how long it takes till someone gets kicked? If so, reduce it! AFK players are the maggots of any team based game.

Thanks for the suggestion.[/quote] When I played, which is a while ago, AFK were left alone as we quit and went to a new activity. Your ‘interventions’ are laughable!

  • Add a vote kick system and a add a no match making option like haunted forest had so people dont abuse the vote kick system if they want to play duo.

    Almost every encounter I've had with an afk player where they've been afk for the entire duration of a strike has been someone just standing there and doing [b][i]nothing[/i][/b]. They're not in their inventory since you would see the [b]...[/b] above their heads and they're not cheesing the timer with melee/movement macros at all. They're just statues for all intents and purposes. They get teleported to a new area of the strike, and do nothing as ads shoot at them until they die. Then either myself or the other fireteam member revives them to try and be good sports for a short time, until it gets too frustrating and one or both of us leave. I don't know exactly how long the current timer is, but whatever it is, it's too long. Maybe the teleport counts as "movement" somehow and it resets the timer? Regardless, it's tiresome to get teamed with someone not carrying their own weight. It doesn't matter if most of the strikes can easily be two-manned or not.

  • Being dead restarts the timer. Also being teleported since you count as a "soft respawn"

  • Easy = Just give us an option to do them solo, or base the post game rewards on the amount of Kills / points you have earned. Work out a Merit system, and stop throwing people into strikes the last 10 seconds of the strike, don't get me wrong its great that I get to complete my 3 weeklies without firing a single bullet but it still makes you feel like the D*CK who would rock up late for his own funeral.

  • [quote] it still makes you feel like the D*CK who would rock up late for his own funeral.[/quote] I don't know about you but I would show up late to my own funeral. I hate funerals. The least they could do is make them less depressing by having my dead body not be on display the entire time. Before I get backlash this is a joke. I'm not that much of a dick to complain about my own funeral or anyone else's.

  • Change the timer to where you don’t move for 1 second you instantly get booted to prison of elders where you’re forced to wait out your sentence of being AFK, the only way to reduce the sentence timer is to go around and hold x on various items in your cell. Minimum sentence for being AFK 9,999 years. Case closed, next.
