showing a player is active/working
Posted: 01 March 2021, 08:04
Hello:
I was recently BOOTed from a game due to 'in'activity. IS there not a function in your system to show or acknowledge when a player is active / working on an option in the game? It would be REALLY helpful to all player to know that the other player (who's turn it is) is actually present and working on her/his turn. AS well, it would tell the website to 'not' time-out people while they are working on their turn. I was figuring out terraforming and what I wanted to do - when I was rudely booted from the entire game (not just my turn).
20 seconds is not enough time to make a decision in most games!! As well, I was active so I thought the game/website would realise that! EVidently I was wrong.
AS well I had chosen 'no fast playing' .... where I apparently was put in one.
Note: I hadn't been playing this particular game much (only the second time), and hadn't realised I needed to finalize my 'pass' action - the page timed out to -22seconds before I realised and found a function to choose and then the game moved on. I was a 1 hearth level and was playing with 250 and 291 player level folks in this game, btw.
