Quick poll! AFK styles for PC tools

Post by AcadiusLost »

Which of these do you prefer for the toggle-able AFK notifier built into Heed's PC Tools, v0.91?

Please post preferences in reply, don't have permissions to make polls here.

What kinda community is this? Unanimous support for a single choice? I'm not sure I know you people anymore...

Yeah, looks like #1 will be it for now. Luckily it was the one I thought worked best anyway. :wink:

1 or 2 work for me. The others are visually confusing; they look like the PC is stealthed or under a spell effect.

Is this intended to be mere informative eye candy, or is there going to be some consequence to being AFK (e.g., invulnerable, unable to be pick-pocketed, not eligible for scripted xp, etc.)?

I think it would be nice if there was an autoboot after X minutes of AFK.

Certainly do-able, and would help with those who fall asleep at the keyboard (I know a few). Sounds like I need polling rights in here so I can see if we have another miraculous consensus for what "X" should be.
