idle time needs to be increased

literally gone for a minute giving my dog water and i get removed D:

Why didn’t you just wait until the end of game to give some water to your dog.

Mommy said “now”

No. The idle time is fine. To you, it’s just a “minute.” But that could be the difference between a win and a loss if you become free kills for the other team. I always try to make sure I have the proper time before starting a match. I understand that things happen, but I also understand that I’ll get booted if I’m idle too long. That’s just the choice you have to make.

because my dog didn’t have water and she was being distracting

besides who waits for a 10 minute game to end to give their dog water? 1 minute shouldnt be THAT big of a deal

Ten minutes to give your dog water shouldn’t be THAT big of a deal.

Alternatively you could have been a responsible pet owner and filled your dog’s dish before you sat down to play halo.

Dogs are more important than video games. If I had a dog and saw that it needed water, I would have done the exact same thing as the OP.

If OP let’s his dog get to the point where 10 minutes without water is detrimental to its health, then OP has WAY bigger problems than idle time in Halo.

You dont know my dog she needs a constant source of fresh water as she’s recovering from a surgery. So again 10 minutes is not something I want to mess with, when my dog’s care is more important but to be kicked in a warzone assualt game for idling for about a minute is ridiculous. It needs to be altered.

ps: Im being generous with my minute time as my kitchen is right next to my living room. So maybe about 40 seconds to be exact.

Then again either 1) make sure your dog’s needs are taken care of before starting a game or 2) don’t complain when you get the boot for idling. I’ve idled for 40 seconds before and NEVER been booted.

You do realize, dogs drink water, I had filled her water bowl, she drank all the water it isn’t going to last forever. and to number 2 they decreased the idle time with this newest update.

Could have flipped the toilet seat up if you was that worried about getting booted. Put fresh water down afterwards, dogs really are not that picky.

Hahaha, my husband yells at her for doing that. Tbh I dont care if I was booted, what I care about is it counts against me and if I lose connection or something Im more likely to be banned

So your dog had water before the game, drank it all, and it was then imperative that you fill her water back up, lest the dog suffer health consequences? Dogs are more important than games. But if the game really isn’t that important to you, then why are you complaining about being booted?

Counts towards my allegibility to being banned, I filled her water up about 10 minutes before I started playing, she just went through surgery she needs plenty of fluids, Im sure a majority of that water she drank ended up all over the floor since the way she drinks is messy. But I just want the idle time adjusted, I feel like it’s too quick. Especially since I had a couple of and had been playing for half the game. There needs to be some kind of formula to determine whose idling or who just went away for a hot moment.

You should consider a second dish. I had a dog who recently passed away who was diabetic and I kept three water dishes filled for him.

Look, I really didn’t mean to come off as implying your dog isn’t important. Pets are obviously MUCH more important than a game. I’m just saying that when you leave a game idle, you take the chance of being booted. If the idle time has indeed been lowered to an incredibly small time frame, I wasn’t aware. I’m going only on the timer I’ve known. If 40 seconds did lead to you being booted, that does suck. But it’s the price we pay.

But I just want the idle time adjusted, I feel like it’s too quick. Especially since I had a couple of and had been playing for half the game. There needs to be some kind of formula to determine whose idling or who just went away for a hot moment.

I’m just saying that when you leave a game idle, you take the chance of being booted. If the idle time has indeed been lowered to an incredibly small time frame, I wasn’t aware. I’m going only on the timer I’ve known. If 40 seconds did lead to you being booted, that does suck. But it’s the price we pay.

True, just wish 343 would take this criticism as trying to figure out if the person is just idling to not play and stat reqs and xp or if they are legitimately playing
