    I'd like to have the Autokick disabled in the Safehouse (NOT the starting location!), because I like to browse on the internet while waiting for the farmers and it's annoying that you have to do something all the time.

    The nonchalance of this post amuses me. Why don't you report the farmers instead of browsing the Internet so you don't have to wait for the farmers...?

    I guess it was megaupload ;p

    Edit: No but seriously, there is no point of having the autokick feature disabled when that is needed. What if you take 5+ mins to get back in the game? Personally, I would much rather you getting kicked than having to bail you out of trouble when you get pounced/jockeyed/charged etc. I think it's an effective system but I am 90% sure that it will not be removed but overall my opinion has no wieght in the matter because I have been away for quite some time so don't listen to me, but thanks for your time in posting this and please post other ideas :)

  9. We like to do something fun, and reporting players isn't fun. It's boring and a wsste of our precious time. :D

    I mean that, when he's on the Internet waiting for the 'farmers' to come into the saferoom what if he misses the fact that they came in and the campaign progresses onto the next map? Then while he's still browsing the Internet the survivors run out and leave him behind. The autokicker is therefore useful in that situation.

    If he's at the end saferoom then it makes matters worse because he could be kicking the farmers. Or recording them. So you see, disabling the autokick is a bad idea. I think we've already had this debate on the forums.

    If he's browsing the internet on the steam browser he can know when it progresses, window mode same thing. He only said in the END saferoom, not at the beginning, so then you will still get kicked if you afk at the start of the saferoom.

    Discussed it.

    It's a good idea. What I was having trouble with was the fact that it's too user orientated; the user has to perform the action of closing the steam UI whereas all the other people load in at one time. But in hindsight I think it does get a bit annoying waiting for the farmers and I still think that the player who's browsing should spend that time reporting it instead of browsing, listening to Daft Punk :P
