Please add a timer similar to the lazybeard kick for the ferry of the damned.
It is not unusual to see a leech on galleons who is afk'ing on the ferry, just spinning in circles to get free loot (usually they have started an athena quest before going AFK)
There is no reason to be on the ferry longer than the normal lazybeard kick timer. Just add a warning to the ferry say 15s before it kicks telling you to get off the ferry or be kicked for lazybeard.
PLEAASSSEEE
@freaktmonline I noticed my character getting kicked off the wheel after being idle. I timed it and holding the wheel for three minutes while idle made me let go of it. I'm sure this wasn't like this before and must have been added in a recent update. I'm guessing that it's to keep people from holding the wheel or any other part of the ship while afk and driving the ship into an island while the rest of the crew just watches screaming for him to come back and turn the ship. This might be the first step in the right direction for kicking people that afk intentionally to reap rewards from their crew without actually playing.
I really don't feel like finding my list of reasons people may be on the Ferry of the Damned for longer than about 1 minute for from one of the other 6 dozen posts you could look up on this exact topic. The issue isn't people on the Ferry, the issue is people leeching by sticking a rubber band to a controller or a weight on a key or button and repeating one action endlessly to avoid Lazybeard.
Idle players that are in for free loot is a difficult problem.. I once heard a suggestion for “vote to kick”.. I have a funny story, that still makes me laugh, that explains why this is a terrible idea:
So I was sailing on a galleon doing an Athena run… We finely dug up the legendary chest and when we arrived at the outpost they bricked me.. After selling the chest they yelled: thnx for the 6k! I replied with, thnx U2! They followed with… you didn’t get any money hahaha… It’s a pirate game!!!
Imagine this happening with “vote to kick”, what has the same mechanic as “vote to the brick”.. I did all the work with them, only to get me kicked out the server because of the ***** that want to be funny…
So, like I said and what I read here, it’s a very difficult and frustrating problem!
However, this story still makes me laugh and I had a great time… I am so glad that there is stupidity on the seas
