"You have been playing for x hours, please take a break." - Is there any way to disable this extremely annoying feature? I don't know who got the rubbish idea for the game to send these messages in the first place. Even if you do take breaks once an hour, are you expected to log out every time?

Deleet · Dec 13, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

/agree....!

I'm sure it's some stupid American attempt to get rid of people who died of playing too much... You know, in USA you can sue people for just about everything..

maybe try and ignore it and this isnt the suggestion forum ^^

RTSFirebat · Dec 13, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

It shows up once an hour, does it really bother you that much?

I think its more of a situation that the truth hurts doesn't it?

You don't like the fact the game is reminding you to take a break, have a Kit-Kat and get some rest

This should be in the suggestion forum, but A.net will never remove it.

I like it, leave GW on for a long time and they say different things!

It's pointless, dunno why it was ever added though. *shrug*

I like it - helps me keep track of time! You know how it is after the first few hours, it all blends into one, long session........

Kalki · Dec 13, 2006, 02:12 PM // 14:12

People will complain about anything.

QFT... it's one of the only ways for me to keep track of the time I've been playing.

You should really drop that judgemental attitude and step down from that pedestal...

It's helping me in my 10-step program to rid myself of Guild Wars addiction. I'm down to a few hours a day. Thank you, Anet!

Dmc1281 · Dec 13, 2006, 02:42 PM // 14:42

TBH I really like the feature. Sometimes I get into playing and this gives me a sense of time as I am playing.

What I wish they would add is some type of AFK feature so if someone were to whisper you they would now you weren't there, and also that the time you have been playing would be tracked based on when you were not AFK.

I was afk for a bit and I cme back and it said I have been playing for 3 hours, when I have been playing for 30 mins of those 3 hours.

I'm taking a break for 2 weeks now, I'm waiting for it to say when I can play again. This is annoying.

darktyco · Dec 13, 2006, 02:58 PM // 14:58

I like the message, it really helps me out when I have been playing too long without realizing it. The only thing I don't like is when the game has been at the login screen all day long- when I start playing again it tells me I have already been playing for 8 hours

Darkobra · Dec 13, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

It's not really annoying. It's one line, once an hour. It's basically there so they hold as little responsibility as possible when people decide to play for 4 weeks straight with no food.

synthjeno · Dec 13, 2006, 03:03 PM // 15:03

I like it! After 3 hours it becomes like a temporary Title. Always fun to see it still whine after 9 hours or so. Make screenie of it and show it off to my guildies.

Tufty · Dec 13, 2006, 03:08 PM // 15:08

apparently its there for legal reasons. Just ignore it

That has to be the most annoying feature of GW. I know Europe has favor, do I need to reminded by it every 3 sodding minutes?!

/endsarcasm

oh...

/notsigned (the things people complain about these days)

BTW, you don't have to log out, just go and water the plants or something for 5 mins.

I truly laughed when I saw this. QFT.
A message showing up every 60 minutes can't be too annoying.. Can't you disable the chat window if the text hurts your eyes?

Milennin · Dec 13, 2006, 03:12 PM // 15:12

The Hall of Heroes thing message is more annoying than the Please take a break message...=s
