Is it possible to make something to remove afk players from mob arena? They take up slots that could be used by other players who would participate. I've been told that the amount of mobs each wave is determined by the amount of players in the arena. I think a good solution to this would be to set a minimum kill requirement for certain waves one being wave 10 requiring 25 kills per person.

 

Support. The amount of afk players and alts I’ve had to kick is ridiculous.

 

Support!!!!

 

support i don't like how people just sit there in the center the whole time and do nothing and gett stuff for no help :dead

 

Good evening, Mr. Tiger.

This seems rather unbelievable: Players are actually able to survive in the Mob Arena completely AFK, without using cheats? Is this a common thing? We were already planning to revisit the monster list for each wave and edit/expand it; if players are able to simply AFK through the rounds it sounds like this needs to happen sooner than expected.

Kind regards,

Yes I've seen a few players afk, well not a few but ye many players afk'ing there. They either hide in the corners or if there are a huge amount of players playing they usually go in the middle as all players go in the middle after each wave to get healed by the healers.

So support.

 

What if someone gets to wave 35 and something important comes up?

 

Well, if they're alone, they would die.

 

Thanks genius.

 

they usually get their friends to protect them while theyre gone so they actually survive

 

I disagree with the kills, healers spend most of their time healing etc however I would maybe support hits instead of kills. Or maybe a timeout of no movement?

 

Support, recently was in a game with 7/8 AFK's. Got a screenshot if needed.

 

I have seen this before and it can be quite annoying. However, the kills seem a bit excessive and there may be other alternatives (such as the ones James has suggested). Nevertheless, support!

 

Yes, support!! If their not planning to fight and make an effort they shouldnt be in there! I think it be difficult to do though, players can just move their characters if they find out they'll be kicked if not moving for a certain amount of time, but for sure something to try and solve! maybe a combination of damage done and moving?

 

Support, if they're doing it only to be carried by the rest of the participants, they shouldn't get their reward at the end.

 

Yeah, I feel like they should not get rewards if they are not really participating and it takes up slots for other people that would wish to join the mob arena.

 

The recent update to Mob Arena should make it much harder to get away with going AFK in the arena, at least during boss rounds. Server Update - June 3 | Skyblock Forums

 

I like that the boss pulls you towards them, that has been a very good change!
