PrincessKenny Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hello. For few days now I'm back to playing and every single day there is at least 1 lobby created and completely abandoned for hours. Now there is [Empire] Standard lobby created. Problem is that it was created nearly 3 hours ago and host was AFK immediately after creating room. I was at menu when it appeared and we had full team 2 mins later. Host was not there already. - Cool a lobby on this map - Oh yea it's still this one... It's extremally annoying so what am I suggesting is AFK timer. After lets say 5 10 or 15 minutes of host afk lobby should get disbanded.

Cocofang Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 12p maps sometimes need a bit of time to fill. So with such a feature there should definitely also be a way for the host to easily flag themselves as not afk. Like a pop-up box to click or a system message prompting them to type something in chat. PrincessKenny likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metagross31 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Can't we use one of the existing ingame afk checks to see, if the host is afk? It could also give a similar warning to the ingame warning, when the afk timer is almost reached. PrincessKenny likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubik Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 🤔 what existing afk checks are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, if it is applicable to the forge as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that detects no movement or just ask every few minutes "Are You here?" with button [YES] or just like in-game "If you will not make an action you will be removed from lobby". Edit: Also instead of disband group just kick host. This will prevent 11 people kicking out from 12p lobby.
