i think that the 1hr disconnect of crits shouldnt happen if you have your crit afk or dnd bc say your thief pking dont find any1 for an hr an then all your crits d/c cept your leader crit an you have to go through all the work of logging em back on and repartying them



opinions?

maybe up it to hour 30, or something. because otherwise its gonna be annoying and lag the server if we have all these people who are logged on and not actually there.

[Swamp_Thing]

I agree solely with Tony cause having all the troubles of loggin em back on would get kinda frustrating after awhile, and hour and 30 minutes would still be pointless, besides he said if you were to go pking on thieves and not find anyone for an hour then they get d/c, which would mean that he's on them and not away from computer. But you do got a point for those who are logged on and not at there computer would cause tons lag.

Good thinking Tony

hmm am i so smart to just look around on a crit ocne in a while or am i say'n something stupid? it won't uncover your thief and it will reset the 1 hour dc thing.
i'd even like to see to have it dc you after 30 minutes.

[Cule]

no, because if someone dies (irl) when he/she plays nm he/she causes lag for all eternity

Huh? The game disconnects you after 1 hour of inactivity, not one hour of being AFK/DND. So you can move around and it won't boot you, but if you go idle and don't press any keys for an hour, it will disconnect you.

[jurian]

that's what i thought but isn't it that when your in a party your crits don't sent data except for the party leader and not sending data = inactive?

[deadman]

my point is that if you are afk or dnd that you shouldnt get d/c from the server after an hr of inactivity if ur running around pking an an alt doesnt get action for an hr gets d/c its pointless to have to log it back on again if its on an afk or dnd it should stay on saves ppl the trouble


and the extra lag wont matter bc the person will jus log it right back on anyways so mine well jus make it that if ur afk or dnd you dont get disconnected for hr of inactivity

i thought it was only if you werent afk or dnd an went 5min inac for an hr you got d/c but guess not it should be like that anyways

[jurian]

not really cuz someone could do /afk with a message and thens tay on the entire night without getting dc. just look around on your thieves once an hour

[Angelus]

Wouldn't JLH already add that if you're active on one crit, the others won't disconnect...

[Squee]

I remember that thread, too. I'll see if I can't find it.

Edit: Here is the link to the other thread. JLH never commented on it and no clear conclusion was drawn.

I agree with the 'If one alt is active they stay on'... but Tony... if one of your thieves doesn't get any action for an hour... you should log it anyway.

Anyway... Supported.

[Squee]

I really don't see the point. If you haven't been able to snag a PK in an hour, maybe it's time to hang up your daggers and call it a night.

[dognapot]

for me it's not hard to press the 'enter' key once every hour if i'm already active on one crit.

[herbacious]

I think the idea is okay but it would cause some problems and NM already has enough problems as it is

[sayadin]

actually there is no problems for Nightmist, its just people have promblems for nightmist... in other words nightmist doesn't create promblems, people create promblems for nightmist
