A 'AFK' button

iRefresh · August 2009

I`m suggesting you add a 'AFK' button to the game.
I personally, leave CF running a lot so I don`t have to reload the game.
Because for some reason, it takes forever to load up.

When you hit the button, it could but something like (AFK) or -AFK- by your name so that
your friends and others will know you are not there.

Let me know what you think (:

Great idea i think

I know alot of other games have this, so I don`t think it would be to
hard to add to this game.

Well, I know I have a couple friends that can`t whisper back.
It will say, 'Unable to whisper.'
With a AFK button, you can be sure that they are AFK, not them
just not being able to respond.

the more you have cf running, the faster your video card will die out. just close cf.. and you'll save on the power bill.

I agree with Rammer, lobby doesn`t require much at all GPU power.

PlEMAN779 · August 2009

good idea. i hate it when my clanmates dont respond cuz theyre afk.

?..
It could be either one. AFK = Away from Keyboard.

DotBaker · August 2009

i would have it in game because of stuff like bathroom taking dog out quick chores..

iRefresh · August 2009

You`d still get kicked for being 'idle'.

With 'an' AFK button.
Grammar fail. ^^

cheapshotnik · August 2009

GNDROOR · August 2009

Thats a really terrible idea for obvious reasons.

HAH!!!!!! I knew someone would be silly enough to post this.

Scenario for yah:

AHHHH! I'm getting shot at! *AFK* Hmm hmm hmm can't hurt me can't hurt me can't hurt me what? You're reloading? *UnAFK* KILLED YOU hahahahajajajaja I'm pro.

End scenario.

instead of this button..
when ur in the lobby and dont do anything for 5 minutes you will get an AFK sign at ur name..
make some special logo/image for this..

Exactly the perfect thing to have. Heck, 5 minutes might even be too long. Could probably even make it 2 minutes. How many people really sit for 2 minutes staring at CF doing nothing?

ZzxvVvxzZ · September 2009

lol enough people are just sitting there for hours..
thats why i allready suggested 5 minutes..
maybe you should be able to configure this in ur options..
choose from 2 minutes to 10.. ( 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)

cause i dont count a quick toilet visit as being afk..
but everyone has their own preferences..

If you read all the posts, you will see I said for in the lobby, not in game, having it in game would be pointless, you`d just get kicked for being idle.
