AFK timer feedback

What's with the extremely shirt amount of AFK time? I have been cut off for "AFK" a massive amounts of time when I am simply just going to take a leak. I seriously don't want to have to break out a s.bucket. Can you PLEASE increase the tim to be AFK?

    Thank you so much! Also, sorry for the typos earlier. I didn't have my glasses on, and I didn't proofread because I was in a hurry to go pee.

    Also, I have a friend that plays who is in a wheelchair. Just to be able to do anything between lives is impossible with this AFK timer. He can't even grab a Clifbar.

    Hey everyone,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback about the afk/inactivity timer.

    I merged a couple of similar threads here and passed this sentiment on to our teams. 

    I appreciate your patience with this.

    Hey EA, 

    The AKF (away from keyboard) is too quick. There was nothing wrong with it before. It was fine as it was. I have timed it and it looks like it only 1:40 seconds before you get booted. 

    They doesnt give me any time to grab my coffee that I left in the kitchen. Answer a knock at the front door. Lets me go take a wee - without me losing my current 20+ mins of game play. Common EA - This is real life. People need to do a few other things sometimes that takes more than 1 minute 40 seconds.

    Why on earth do you keep changing stuff that doesn’t need changing. You need to start asking for VOTES from the gamers to justify some of the changes your are making.  Its messing up the game play.

    Kind Regards,

    Kenny Balharry.

    Yeah, the AFK timer is way too short.

    The game warns that being AFK negatively affects the match, but forcing players who actually intend to come back out of the game probably has an even worse impact.

    If you take out your knife, you urinate faster. 

  • That's right.

    It's a problem if it takes too long to be marked as AFK, but the current setting is too short.

    People with colds, for example, might not even have time to wash their hands.
