kicked for being AFK?

Hi all,

.. I was in the middle of a game, all of a sudden a huge message about me being AFK came out!!

I was playing CHA Revolutions beta 7 on wrath

I was not aFk! and I got kicked!

Why did this happen?

any ideas?


thanks!! cheers

if u just chill there and let ur guy auto attack, it read as u are afk. to stop this just move your guy around you'll be fine

Well I think you need to remove the afk system its detouring new players from learning the game.Also it has a chance to kick everyone in the game.I think overall its just really problematic.

The only ones that seem to get kicked are the non english speaking players. To be kicked you have to have no actions per minute for a solid minute and a half. That is lot of game deciding time to be spending doing absolutely nothing. Truth be known if you see that message more then three times in a game there is a good chance your going to lose.

Well half the time it has gone to kick someone my bot dces the whole game and all the coding on my end is solid and it only happens with beta 9 and the afk system.

Yea I just seen what you were talking about not too long ago. It doesn't happen that much when I play however maybe 1 out of 8 games or something. Most of your afk message allies are able to make the two steps needed to beat the kick.

It is actually 3 minutes with no movement at all, and you get a warning. you then have another 30 seconds of allies yelling at you, to click your guy in any direction at all.

as said above, it is generally non-english speakers.

Honestly, I think the mass population of european players who cannot speak english, and spend 3 minutes AFK and get kicked, are the reason all public games suck so badly that they arent worth playing. The best you can hope for is that your noob allies leave fast, or get kicked. I have never gone into a game thinking there was any other way to win. When setting your handicap -20 for every ally you DONT have, is a better alternative to having that ally.. well.. maybe some people really arent meant to play CHA?

And dont say "they need to play the game a few times to learn it" Check these euro players. The most of them have 10+ games played, with 30% stay time. The game starts.. they get randomed... they stand still for 3 minutes... then leave base with no items; go right to your creep spawn; die... stand in base. duel starts, they stand there. duel ends... they stand there. then they buy a ring of the warrior, then go to your creeps and die. then stand in base until they are kicked. ^^I dont play a lot of pubs, and in at least 70% of the pub games I do join, this happens to at least 2 of the players.

Stop hosting on europe. Fixes everything that is wrong with the CHA community.

The above maybe true however there might be something to look into on the kick. As of now if somebody is kicked for being afk the entire game crashes for everybody. I've only witness this on the wrathbot however which makes me wonder if this has to do with lag. Maybe typing -lagless could prevent the problem from happening has anyone tried that?

Well I will just disable hosting to the Euro server any of them that want to play will have to come play on US East.

yea, I will look into the kick function; I have had problems with it in the past.

Thank you
