AFK activity in game ? (ex: fishing)
-
Some mmo have afk activity like fishing where you can get fish, but also some item or material. Exemple : BDO fishing.
Would you like something similare in Fractured, if the game mechanics allow it ?
-
@zwiterion I think it is unlikely to be, as the developers do not want to make a game with grind
-
I am against any AFK activity.
Players then feel forced to leave PCs turned on, and leave character AFK to do this activity to not "miss out".
-
If farming and the like are possible and fishing will do as a profession and still add buff for fishing
P. S. Purely my opinion and desire
-
I think it would be cool to add some afk features for those who want it!
-
I agree with @Gothix The only afk activity that I can see being a good one is a trade stall or something along those lines.
-
I doubt it, since it would end up being only used by people on Arboreus. You can be killed on Syndesia and Tartaros, and people who are afk and obviously can't fight back would be the best victims. There could be fishing in some form, but I doubt it would be an AFK activity.
-
@nelchael Yeah it's true that people of syndesia and tartaros would have a hard time Afking (expecially if there isnt any safe zone). Also maybe it could discourage people to go evil since they would be easier to pk.

I hate the recent changes to games where followers of my character will do quest/missions and get a reward.

I like the idea but no game so far did it very well

-
I messed up and I would totally not mind there being trading or shop setup as an AFK material. I wouldn't mind if you could leave your character logged in at a shop window for others to browse your items that you log for sale and have them buy them. It bring back that dope old school korean MMO feel.
-
Basically, you set up your character to do an activity (for example in fishing, you make him sit down in front of a lake and pull out a fishing rod), then you just ignore the game for a while and go watch a movie or something for a few hours while the game plays itself. People sometimes spend entire days doing that instead of actually playing the game.
-
@nelchael Oh well thanks for your explanation. I totally disagree something like this :P.
-
@finland Afk activity could be fun for exemple when you are at school or working, but BDO had his entire crafting system set like that and it was to much in my opinion. If there is afk activity it should not be the focus of the game but just some little side stuff.
-
Problem is people feeling forced to leave characters online and AFK with such activity. Otherwise they will feel like missing out.
It creates psychological pressure and unhappiness with the game.
Also rises your electric bills.

how is an AFK activity fun when you aren't there playing the game? that's no different than using a bot.
-
Really, I don't care about this, but I have curiosity about what will they do
-
@Jetah Personnaly I just like the fact that my character is doing something even when I’m not there, but if this game doesn’t have a system like that, I won’t be disappointed either xD it’s not something I consider a must in a mmorpg
-
a developer should never encourage afk play in an open world pvp loot game. do you know the amount of support tickets CS would get if people could afk to acquire stuff yet come back to a corpse.
this is an active game, if you want something you should have to be active.
