Also good for if the enemy tries to counter..if there's a few friendly mines you can draw the enemy in to get the edge and ace the team so you can guarantee to tame the Kraken.

I wouldn't worry about it. If they keep doing it they'll get matched with other AFKs and abandonners. Yes it's annoying but as Karma goes up it 'll become less common. I don't get that many these days - a couple a week maybe.

Nothing wrong with them - I use them if the heat is on our Vain, but I don't sell my gear to buy them - only 50 gold so don't see any point in selling gear. It can be effective - I was in a game earlier and the enemy (skaarf) cunningly planted a series of goop and traps...it worked!

iPad mini 2. Does fit well - played with the other half's full size iPad but it's a bit more cumbersome.

I toggle between "not-bad" and "decent-isn" - haven't had many AFKs recently, but do get the occasional one now and then. More common is people that seem to be in a 2-way party who play together and ostracise the third player which inevitably is pretty detrimental..

Zaffre - many thanks. Helpful posts, rep given.

I tweeted SEMC and they are aware though the cleanup seems to be taking a while. :(

Hi All I'm not sure there's a need to another feature developed to handle this. AFKs are much less common I find now at a higher Karma level (I'm at 9). The recent changes of matching abandoned players with others seems to be working?

Hi Guys Really enjoying the game - Karma9 and generally play with Krul, though just starting to learn Petal as I fancy a range Hero for a change. I frequent VGF quite often and really find the Hero guides to be incredibly useful. However, I was wondering if there is a jargon buster online anywhere? I've searched but can't find one. Some of the terms I'm familiar with but others I'm unclear on and I'm sure newbies would benefit. Things like Critical Chance Critical Strike Crystal...
