Duncan McOkiner Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I do apologize if this has been suggested and denied/accepted already. I could not find any prior topics regarding this, however, I'm unfamiliar with any more advanced way to search for them than the search bar. This is an incredibly basic suggestion, so I'd be surprised if there isn't a prior suggestion. Colored text = TL;DR. What do you want to see?: An AFK Job [or multiple, similiar to PoliceRP]. These jobs, as you guessed, would be designed specifically for players to AFK. While there could be a single job for this, there could also be tiers, similar to how PoliceRP currently does it. This could be based on a level requirement, similiar to PRP, or it could be unique and do it based on VIP tier. These jobs tend to offer increased salary for AFKing on them. It's worth mentioning that these jobs would have to function differently from the PoliceRP AFK jobs. As we know, a majority of players tend to AFK on Stormtrooper - great! This would work exactly like normal. On ImperialRP, however, there exists AFK Meditation. This means either the job would need to have an AFK/Training lightsaber that does 0 damage and grants access to meditation, or somehow grants increased playtime experience. Why should we add it?: I wholeheartedly believe that the "norm" of AFKing on the Stormtrooper job is part of what makes the ST battalion seem so underwhelming. This spams the scoreboard with Stormtroopers, potentially tricking newer players into believing that their battalion is just used for AFK players. This is the first step into allowing ST to grow into a unique battalion, as opposed to just being used for AFK players. Of course, this change would also allow Inquisitors and Royal Guard to no longer be forced to AFK on their respective jobs if they desire the extra experience from meditation. Finally, this would give Staff and Gamemasters the ability to have an accurate count of how many players are AFK when preparing for an event. Staff, assuming they are of high enough rank, would also be able to force this job upon players who are AFK on their RP Job. What are the advantages of having this?: - Allows ST to begin an era of reform, as well as RG and INQ to no longer be used for AFK Meditation.- Gives Staff/GMs the ability to have an accurate headcount of active players.- Gives players the ability to AFK without being on a job that should be used exclusively for roleplay.- Gives high-level players an excuse to AFK for the increased salary, given that experience is useless to them at a certain point. Who is it mainly for?: Anyone who AFKs, Staff/GMs that would like accurate headcount for an event, Command members that want an accurate headcount of non-afk players.

ZeferGaming Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 + support -This would save STs I can't stand looking through the menu and seeing who active and who not just to see a sea of STs. It's confusing for Medical tryouts to judge how many potential STs could join it. - on top of that a job that would grant AFK bounces would be loads better then going AFK and basically being dead weight. - the only problem I have with it is IQ and RG would no longer need there Meditatie and channel hate abillty - but it would in the end bring some more loyal and more active members to those Regiments as you would no longer have ether be going AFK on the job or have people buy those pacific jobs just to us them as EXP gaining SCP/Medical Senior-Command/Manager/Head of Field Work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
