    1. do runs with faction.

    2. if you dont have faction or most of your factions are busy. make your own squad and you be the boss then. believe me I have no problem kicking afk people in rb or anywhere and squad will still go fine. I find that only sins go afk in rb cos they think they can mooch by saying i only have 2 aoe. sins are too lazy to subsea its annoying.

    3. solo rb nuff said b:cute. I do this sometimes when I have absolutly nothing to do. bb on cleric and bm do everything else.

    I hate telling people how to play their class cos for one, they rarely listen and sometimes they insult you because they feel offended. I dont like having problems with people.

    you forgot 4. Which I've seen you do. :P

    4. Join KawaiiJen's squad. :>

    So your saying they can't play the game or anything and just need to sit by the phone and wait for it to ring? Also I'm sure a squad can survive a quick minute or 2 if someone has something like that. Sorry but sometimes things in RL happen if you can't understand that (and to quote what you like to call people) than you are ignorant. Since I already know how you will respond to this I won't bother with this thread anymore.
    All generalizations are false, including this one.

    Must be weird for you, living in the 1950's where every phone call can be expected in advance while trying to deal with a 21st-century world where most every call the rest of us get can NOT be expected or predicted. Where, in fact, the more important a phone call is, the less likely it is to be predictable or expected.

    Same thing, actually, with most every form in which Real Life can interrupt our recreational activities. There's almost nothing that can happen to me unexpectedly that does NOT take precedence over video gaming, much as I might like things to be otherwise.

    Oh no... there is nothing wrong with dropping anything/everything you are doing for a phone call. But just know that if i am the squad lead... don't expect still to be in squad when you come back. You drop something less important for something more important. And guess what... that's exactly what I am going to do. Now guess who is less important.

    A squad can survive missing 1 or 2... or even 5 members. But if a squad can surviving missing a certain member(s)... then whats the point of having said member(s) around.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    Fair enough. I get a phone call in the middle of a pick-up ball game, I don't expect the rest of the players to quit playing while I'm on the phone, either.
    Now guess who is less important.

    You are. I dropped YOUR SQUAD flat on the floor --- probably not even bothering to leave it first --- in order to take a call. What, you think having to get another squad will ruin my whole day? Dude, it's just an effing video game.

    Are people seriously kicking players out because they need to answer a phone call? That's just... sad. It just shows how impatient people have gotten these days. Sometimes I need to answer a phone call from work, I CANNOT avoid that and let it go to voice mail. Of course, I let the squad know why I need to afk 1-2 minutes.

    Regarding mystics, I have tried teaching some methods to use whether in FCC and various BH100s, and some listen, some don't. I try to be polite because I know some people don't like being given instructions (which is why some don't listen). I don't mind teaching others; I'm patient enough.

    But I'm able to solo heal on my mystic in RB (have only tried up to stage 3), and one time it was without a barb, too. So not only can a mystic DD with its OP Cragglord, but if there's no cleric around, you sure can fill in that spot.

    its cause theres also an increase in super nubs these days, its hard to tell the diff. if one afks for long periods of time. I guess the best way to avoid that is let the squad know like u said. If they dont, then they really cant complain cause your sharing game with so many other players and their play time.

    If it a pick up game... and you need to take a call... the game goes on. same rule... if you afk... the squad moves on with or without you.

    Thats the point... its a game... i play it for fun... no play it to wait for your slow ***. I never expect anything I do to ruin anyone's day. But I do expect none of them to slow down my own day.

    In all fairness... no one can even notice some squad mate going afk for 1-2 minutes so you can just stop using that as any sort of excuse. But when someone goes afk at the beginning of a bh and still haven't moved a finger when squad is at boss... then we're going to have a problem.

    - Gotta love those self absorbed butt clowns that ignore the fact that there are 5 RL people they're being rude to. 2 minutes of your time is 10 minutes of ours.

    Oh so the problem isn't that she went afk. The problem is that they were attempting to be polite about it, and you have no time for niceties. And you're saying that to a mystic, I'd sure want to know if the squads healer went afk.

    C'mon.. are you trolling or being serious? I'm describing utter fails here that disrespect the people they squad with. Where do you draw the line if you're so noble?

    For afkers, as long as it's only a couple of minutes I don't see the big deal. I kick people who want to go on 15-20 minute walks with their dog instead of making the little guy wait 15 minutes for us to complete the instance. But if someone needs to use the toilet or answer a phone call or afk for any reason for a couple of minutes. It's only two minutes, the squad probably won't need the extra DD for two minutes anyway.


    For lesser geared people, as long as they aren't holding the squad back, I'm not rude to them. People who constantly aggro things they can't handle and die constantly, people who get me killed, people who won't even try to help with things just because they don't want to die. I don't bother with them.

    But people who don't get me and the rest of the squad killed being morons. People who know their gear limitations and try their best in squad even if they can't give as much as someone with better gear. People who are lacking a few skills because they aren't as many people doing low level things to learn from. People who add 1-2 minutes to a run? I don't care about that. My assassin wasn't always 5 attacks per second, my assassin wasn't always able to solo TTs for coin, wasn't always able to do nirvy with non weapon link squads. I had to do level appropriate things to gear up and get better. And unless you're a heavy cash shopper, i bet at one point you did too. And if people had gotten that attitude with me when I was lowbie, I wouldn't have the gear standard that I do now. So no, I won't harass those people. They aren't doing anything wrong. They are just trying to do level appropriate things so they can gear up. Same as the rest of us.

    That's the point i bring, you are at work why you play a game knowing you will get phone calls and need to AFK? Can't you wait to be at home for play PWI and play Flash games at work so people don't need to wait cause YOU decide to play while you are suppose to work.

    It's the same with people saying ''my kid cry brb i will go what happened'', dude you have a kid and don't check them? Stop play game while you have kids to care of, go play with your kids outside.

    When people go to cinema do they go pee every 5 minutes? No they go pee before the movie and than wait after if they need to go again, a movie is way much more longer than a BH ijs.

    PWI is not a game you can ''pause'' to go do stuff, there's people waiting who maybe don't have time to wait, if someone know he might need to AFK, well why he go in squad beside wait to be able to do something in game for 20 minutes without need to AFK.

    Its always in the middle of the run, people need to pee, make coffee, go walk the dog, in a middle of BH, not before or after. If someone received 17364 phone calls a day he should maybe think to put a phone on his computer desk (Walt-Mart sell phones at really cheap price).

    I had more patience before, but now seriously people go AFK constantly, every squad almost we need to kick someone AFK, its awful how people have no respect and don't care to make other people loose time cause of them.

    Some people should buy a laptop and go play sitting on the toilet and install a phone in the bathroom (and don't forget to put the coffee machine there too).

    Never had a salaried job, have you? Some of us can get phone calls FROM work at any hour of day or night, wherever we are, and not have the luxury of not answering them.

    I don't even have any kids and even I know childcare doesn't work that way. IJS.

    Did i say people should not answer? Not everyone on PWI are on phone call, many play while they are at work and next thing the person say is ''Need AFK Boss is here'' or ''AFK i need to do some work''.

    When i say kid, i say kid, not teenager, sometime when we ask people the age of the kid and they answer the kid is 2 years, sorry but a kid of that age shouldn't be alone.

    To be honest I agree with most of the 'negative stuff' that has been said here.
    Maybe we got this problem more on HT than the other servers, I dont know b:chuckle

    I usually make caster/BH squads nowadays because I've noticed some people have no
    clue on how to balance things out. Since you cannot know the players actual gaming skills,
    recide to checking peoples HP and also mana if they're casters. Do they have a pure mag build
    making them low HP or is it gear based, can it be solved by HP buffs/other buffs?
    What can you assume a 4.2k hp cleric will have as weapon when she can't afford to reach the
    5k hp barrier? Same goes for any other class out there. THINK and ACT after it. By balancing with
    CC:s, backup healers or even back up tank classes...ofc it won't hold forever, but they can help if
    a person afks that is very needed.

    In terms of afking...I mean afterall, who here doesn't know the typical 5?

    1. The one who will say Brb as soon as you have invited them, for ungiven reason.
    2. The person who will not reply to you when you ask where the hell they are after
    clearing half of SoT.
    3. The person who will randomly, without saying so, take 30sec AFK moments while
    playing because they're dual clienting and currently play another char in the same instance/diff squad. (I know half a dussin that does this...in nirvana and RB.)
    4. The person who will, as you've all mentioned before, make coffee in the middle
    of an instance or boss fight. Like wtfux, can't your addiction wait? (I can accept phone calls/random toilet breaks - you gotta go, you gotta go. Kids..ok to a certain point, so are pets, basically stuff you can't personally control 100%) just don't afk 40min, just leave instead out of courtesy.
    5. The person who makes 5 lvl 100 alts without gearing them/learning their skills properly
    or even level them because they had the brilliant idea that they get BH rewards and Nirvana talismans easier this way. (It is not ok that I've had 101 sins in nirvana complain over chi, and to top it off: once u say 'Use inner harmony or use your spark combos to gain chi back quicker?' and they simply reply with: What is that?)

    I could go on and on...but these exist everywhere. To a certain point, it's ok to afk
    aslong as u don't become the squads burden. I don't feel like waiting 5 minutes tanking a boss for you that will frenzy and eventually kill us. I don't wanna have to start over because your *** is afking 200 yards away in the instance. (Devs made auto follow for a reason you know?) So yea...I get the hate some of these guys are feeling or why they kick people. I think I'm done with my point of view...for now. b:surrender

    When i say kid, i say kid, not teenager, sometime when we ask people the age of the kid and they answer the kid is 2 years, sorry but a kid of that age shouldn't be alone.

    So the parent puts the kid down to sleep in it's crib, all safe and cozy and tucked in. It's in the very next room, in it's nursery but the parents still aren't supposed to get a break? They should camp the nursery while it sleeps because heaven forbid they use baby monitors/listen for the child/etc and take 20 minutes to themselves? :P

    And you don't have to on-call to get a phone call from work if you're in a position with responsibilities. It can even be your day off or your vacation. You can still get phone calls from work. That's how corporate america works, that hows supervisory/management positions work, thats who owning your own business works, etc. Very few people join a bh with the intention of making you all wait.


    1. The one who will say Brb as soon as you have invited them, for ungiven reason.

    5. The person who makes 5 lvl 100 alts without gearing them/learning their skills properly

    1. The first type I kick if by the time we enter the instance they aren't there. But I still give them them 2-3 minutes it takes to form.
    2. I kick these guys too. Like I said it's one thing to afk 1-2 minutes it's another to be a burden on your squad by making people wait for a long time.
    3. 30 seconds isn't a big deal to me. ::shrug:: TBH the timer wouldn't even run out on them before they are back. And then you can get cases where they die and remain afk which can cause certain glitches. Where the person doesn't get timer and then stays there because they are mad they were kicked so that you can't run with someone else.
    4. Agreed. 40 minutes is way too long. I shouldn't be able to run the instance twice in the amount of time you're afk. And I won't, kick!
    5. Meh, as long as they aren't this huge burden I don't really care. Basically as long as they can mostly pull their weight. There is always going to be one or two people in squad with great gear doing more than everyone else. For example the tank and in certain cases the cleric.

    Accalica, I think you forgot about that barb on our server who had to go get his g/f from work over and over. I only tolerated it for a while because the runs were good otherwise in a time when barbs were scarce.

    I totally can understand going afk right after an invite. Go pee while squad is forming, let lead know you won't be responsive for that bit. -Understandable and doesn't hold people up unless you could have been in motion toward instance in that time.

    @Venus - 30sec afk moments make me the most furious of them all. b:chuckle
    These people are usually the ones who drag a squad down, as u can't 100% know wtf
    they're gonna do next, lol. (Cleric/veno/tank specifically. Will I get a heal? Will she purge? Will he actually tank this time?) Neither can you say they do nothing. Usual comeback: I lag.
    (When you know by your friends in another squad that theyre also with them on an alt).

    @thumbs - Imo, it's only ok if they tell you they're brb for a short moment.
    Otherwise I have no clue on if I'm gonna need a replacement later on or not, if I
    should bring more teles or if a few is gonna last (I'm no wc hero so I don't plan on
    carrying 50 teles all the time). I go by first impression 90% of the time if it's a
    random person. Idk..I think heaven's tear just got a bunch of these considering I'll
    be damned I run into atleast 2-3 a day. They're also coming up with smarter replies or reasons
    by the day. Soon I'll hear that they had to afk because their baby pet T-rex couldn't find the leftovers
    from yesterdays dinner in the fridge.

    The first three are all of them more important than video gaming, so probably not --- phone calls during those activities will go to voicemail, which is promptly responded to after said activity and before I go back to video gaming. The only mother I spank is yours, so you can call and ask her if I pick up at that time.
    How do you manage to get a salary job and not know what a speaker phone or hands free is for?

    Cell phones don't typically have either, but it wouldn't matter if they did; I still can't keep up an intelligible phone conversation, take notes, AND diagnose a server problem over an SSH connection while running an instance in PWI. So the video game gets dropped.

    Yes when the kid sleep or take nap the parent can play ofc, i speak about when the kid is up in middle of the day and the parent play the game all time without checking the kid til the kid cry cause he hurt himself while the parent wasn't checking the kid.

    Or the one saying ''brb 5 minutes ill go put kids in bed'' in middle of bh, can't he wait 10-15 minutes? He didn't know he need to go put them in bed? If you know you need to AFK 5 minutes for your kids you should maybe don't go in a squad.

    Not everyone in this game work as manager/boss, some people don't even work.

    I guess they all answer the phone while they have sex, ****, shower, puke. Look like these people never had job that you need to work 2-3hours before have a break and can go eat/pee/smoke.

    Yes when the kid sleep or take nap the parent can play ofc, i speak about when the kid is up in middle of the day and the parent play the game all time without checking the kid til the kid cry cause he hurt himself while the parent wasn't checking the kid.

    Or the one saying ''brb 5 minutes ill go put kids in bed'' in middle of bh, can't he wait 10-15 minutes? He didn't know he need to go put them in bed? If you know you need to AFK 5 minutes for your kids you should maybe don't go in a squad.

    Not everyone in this game work as manager/boss, some people don't even work.





    I guess they all answer the phone while they have sex, ****, shower, puke. Look like these people never had job that you need to work 2-3hours before have a break and can go eat/pee/smoke.

    That's the point i bring, you are at work why you play a game knowing you will get phone calls and need to AFK? Can't you wait to be at home for play PWI and play Flash games at work so people don't need to wait cause YOU decide to play while you are suppose to work.

    My statement could be taken both ways, you took it the other way. I'm always playing PWI at home, but I get calls from work telling me upcoming jobs I have available, or attorneys calling to order transcripts, etc at my home phone. Keep in mind I don't work at home, but I receive business calls during my time off.

    And it seems like going afk for 1-2 mins is "wasting everybody's time." That still represents impatience. I understand if someone goes afk for 15-20 mins is a different story, but for 1-2? I'm just glad I've never been in a squad full of people so impatient like that.

    The problem is not the 1-2 minutes, its all the time people go AFK, seriously in every squad there's always minimum one person going AFK 2 minutes, so at the end of the day if you calculate all AFK of 1-2 minutes that become more than 1-2 minutes. Why should i waste in my day 30 minutes for waiting cause of people who can't do something without go AFK?

    Yes people people can have emergency, but the point is can't someone wait to finish the bh before go smoke? Can't the person wait 5 minutes to go pee or go before the bh while the squad is forming? Do someone gonna die if she don't have coffee for 10 minutes? Is it impossible for people to have a phone close to the computer or use a phone without cable?

    I don't remember if its in that thread or a other i said that, but often for bh warsong, the 15 minutes we wait the bh to be ready, some people will talk in squad chat all the 15 minutes and when we got the pop up when its ready, they say ''brb fast ill go pee or make coffee'', sorry but its frustrating, the person had 15 minutes to do w/e she want why wait when its ready to go AFK?

    The first three are all of them more important than video gaming, so probably not --- phone calls during those activities will go to voicemail, which is promptly responded to after said activity and before I go back to video gaming. The only mother I spank is yours, so you can call and ask her if I pick up at that time.



    Cell phones don't typically have either, but it wouldn't matter if they did; I still can't keep up an intelligible phone conversation, take notes, AND diagnose a server problem over an SSH connection while running an instance in PWI. So the video game gets dropped.

    Glad you're not on my server because you're fail fail fail. You are rude to those you game with, self centered, and a donkey hole.

    1-2 min can translate into an hour. You're in a squad with 5 other RL people. That is 5x you! Somehow you feel that you are far more important. - I hate ignorant people like this. If we could go 1-2 minutes w/o you: we didn't need you at all.

    What's with the middle school insults? It's not that I'm offended, it just makes you look uncreative and unread. Go study some Chaucer or Shakespeare, learn how to really rip somebody apart. And FWIW, I do in fact play on Heaven's Tear, as even my core connect profile shows. That's where you've got your 103 veno, isn't it? We've never shared a squad, and we never will, if I have anything to say about it.

    A cellphone without speaker? Are we talking about some early 2000s models here? The oldest cellphone I have at my disposal at the moment is a Nokia from 2006 and it's got speaker calls, whereas my older phones before that did not have the option.

    Fact is, if you have to do anything at all to go afk, the squad has reason to boot you. And you really can't blame them for that. Heck, I see a lot of squads being very tolerant of afk people, exactly for the reason that most things in the game can be done with less than 6 people.

    And yes, it does suck majorly when a key player in your squad, like the cleric or barb or bm happens to go afk. Especially the barb in a situation where a barb is very useful, because for some reason barbs are stupidly rare.
    I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.
    If you see b:cute be sure to take a second, calm look at anything I said.

    lol? Of course my WORK is more important than a GAME. Who hasn't had moments where they had to afk a couple minutes and do something in an instance? I bet everybody has. Does that justify people getting kicked from squad? I don't think so. It just shows how impatient you are. I feel like I'm getting trolled here.

    I agree with this statement. I think there are certain moments where going afk is unnecessary, but regarding a couple minutes to wait during the middle of an instance is tolerable, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just more patient than a few people and realize this is just a game.

    Your work is more important than the game, its normal.
    MY time is more important than your work.
    So if you want put your time on work its fine, but its selfish to say that your work is more important than people time.
