Kicked from Ranked Horde due to inactivity? BS!

[LAZERAK47]

So some guys and I were playing Horde on Overpass and I bought the Silverback. I placed it at the middle part where the Scorcher spawns and was preparing to gun down anything that made it past our defences. My team was pretty good, ergo, I didn't have much to do. The game decided to kick me due to inactivity. So, for being a team player (not taking all the kills) and using my brains, I get kicked huh? And the game even has a ribbon awarded to someone who gets no kills during a wave. Please explain to me how this makes sense. I wasn't AFK, I was constantly rotating the Silverback to check the approaches, so what the hell? Why would this even happen? Because if the game is going to punish team players, I am through with this POS

[BlueDodger]

So all you did was look around? No moving or shooting?


Didn't they change the booting criteria to you having to move (LS)?

This was to stop idle boosters, but I might be wrong :/

Wasn't there an update the other day ?

[BlueDodger]

Wasn't there an update the other day ?

It was a microsoft update, not an EPIC one.

[Vintage Senshi]

i did the exact same as the OP a few months ago & the same thing happened to me

[Orion]

Same thing happened to me, same situation, same map, everything.

[Justin]

Start moving then

[sklorbit2]

that sucks

[v Silver F0X v]

They should increase the number to 2/3 waves instead of 1.

Its annoying; I was responding to a message from a friend (it was wave 3 so I knew my team could handle it) and I was kicked for standing still for 1 wave.

[Evanescence]

I remember once while I was playing Horde, I had to go to the loo, then when I got back and picked up my controller, the second I was about to start playing again, it kicked me for inactivity lol. ._.

[GreenJay]

This has happened a couple of times to me before it sucks but you just need to move around!!!

[LAZERAK47]

I was in a spot that was completely protected. Why would I move and take fire? Game Devs :/

the booting system isn't based on who many waves you're not playing, it's based on time. If you're inactive for 2 minutes, you will get kicked.

[SenatorIvy]

2 minutes?! Clearly none of these people have prostate issues. Sheesh!

[Jim Tuna]

Doesn't make sense since you were looking around.

[D4u2s0t]

that sucks... maybe they should include some kind of prompt, "You are about to be flagged for inactivity. please press "B" to continue" or something like that.

[bwg79]

Yeah that's real lame that you got booted.

[Onyx Guarrd]

lol i think Hurricane cat has a protege !

[CARMINE COG]

lol i think Hurricane cat has a protege !

why ? lol

[Onyx Guarrd]

why ? lol

the Supernatural gifs lol. just something a few of us from the EGFC do cause we watch the show lol.

Oh I see. I watch the show too.

the time needs to be longer

Speaking of supernatural and your sig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al12WO5x23w

[Victimizer]

Time is way too short. Needs to be longer, at least 5 minutes.

[Kracker Kid]

Didn't they change the booting criteria to you having to move (LS)?

when did they do this? it cant be true, you cant help if no enemies come your way. if youre all guarding an entrace, then theres a good chance you'll only move the camera, especially if youre planted with a silverback, or in a turret

[TAO Devil]

It's strange sometimes. I was kicked for inactivity in the middle of roadie running lol.

[Lucell]

the Supernatural gifs lol. just something a few of us from the EGFC do cause we watch the show lol.

Supernatural is amazing though.

[UNCL3 T1AN]

not sure what the update did, but from what i remember, you can't even go to the bathroom cause apparently they'll kick you after such a short period of time...

[Queen Riful]

Supernatural is amazing though.

I miss that show

on topic: I got booted from guardian as the leader. I was hiding behind cover holding tac com. Imagine my team raging when I got booted out and replaced for a rambo bot. Horde is even worse, you'll come back as marcus and lose all your money

[Masteralex09]

Epic should make it 10/15 minutes for a AFK kick, and after 10-13 minutes, a prompt would appear to tell you that you will be kicked soon, and to continue press any button.

[kboo521]

Move around a little. Shoot your gun in a random direction..
The kick timer does need to be adjusted for horde though

[Likuid Ice]

If the time were 15 minutes, that would be way too long. You would only have to move a total of 4 times within a one hour time span and you could be doing other things like watching TV or playing another game while sitting idle.

The time limit is fine. I hate when people sit around and they don't help.

[Melonfrog]

Once I just went to blow my nose and got blood. But when I came back I was kicked, I was no longer then 30 secs if that.

[DaZ3dNc0nFuZ3D]

I've been kicked for sending a msg and going to the toilet. If u don't move during a round then I believe you are OUTTA there :s

[PugdogsDaddy]

Highly doubt it....tough to take an opinion without a GT attached.

[Spitfire MLG]

I personally think that you get kicked too quickly without playing. You only have to be gone for about 30 seconds and you're gone. It needs to be longer.

[gunzelmanlink]

I had a moment like this today. I went up two flights of stairs in between waves (somewhere in the teens), gone less than 90 seconds. and i got kicked. I even heard my screen going back to the main screen as i was walking back down. I'm not going to pee in a bottle just to play this game. This really needs to be fixed.

[Victimizer]

They should increase the number to 2/3 waves instead of 1.

Same here man. Imo kicking in horde shouldn't even be there.

[HeAdShOtInC]

Thats a horrible situation...i can see why they kick idle players but if u where rotating u shouldnt have got kicked....that should be fixed
