Correct action to take?

[GBantaR]

So I'm in The Snitch. Midway through one of my part members goes AFK with no notification. Obviously, the entire group is unable to progress on the quest because we can't assemble near whatsisface, the Halfling. We've already spent 40 minutes on the quest and now I have to wait for a half hour for this guy to DC.

What's the correction action to take? Is there a report for something like this? This guy has wasted a lot of our time and ruined an otherwise good quest run.

I'd give them 10 mins. 15 max. Real life comes first. But theres a limit to how long you keep 5-11 other people waiting on you.

And then recall/reform and do it without them.


For a longer quest i'd wait. Then try to get a gm.. But still most likely end up recall/reform and do it again.

Yes I too would give them 5-10 mins, and then if they still hadn't zoned in/moved after that, I'd recall/reform without them.

The guy could have been DC'ed. I know I've DC'ed to where it literally took 3-4 minutes to reboot my machine, relog, etc.

In the end we waited a full 20 minutes, half hour or whatever it is until he auto-DCed from inactivity. Sooo annoying.

It is a risk you take when you play this game.

It can also happen to you, so don't be too judgemental...no one plays in a vacuum.

In that time you could have reformed and completed Snitch. I'd give the guy about 5 min. If after that time he's still afk, reform and reenter the quest. If he comes back and sends you a tell then he can catch up if you're feeling generous or complete without him.

Turn him into a soul stone.

Turn him into a soul stone.

Create undead is fun and profitable.

Depends on what happened prior to him going perma-afk. If she/he'd been displaying a hostile attitude, he/she is likely completion greifing you - report to a GM and /squelch. If they'd been nice then it could just be RL issues (although why they didn't alt+F4 if it was a true emergency I dont know). Either wait them out, or recall/reform depending on time already invested.

Would that solve ur problem???

things like this happen, its part of the game, think good ideas already have been exhausted by others...

[Lorz]

Turn to stone (soul)....and then carry if it was a real issue and he comes back great no damage but a rez...if not continue on and complete.

It really is that easy.

Kill them. Take their soul stone over to where they need to be. Problem solved. And make sure to leave the soul stone very far away from any shrines.
