How do you check a player is inactive? (on the consoles)

PinoZino

It's mostly an issue for Guild Masters. Many of them kick members from the guild because they were inactive for a sudden time.

I know that some just check if a member listed something in the Guild Store.
But that's IMHO too harsh. A Guild, even a Trading Guild, is more than trading.

So what's left?

If i needed to clean house, i would first on edit note function put a * on there note regardless if they have a note or not on who is on for a week, then go through the others that i dont have a note on and send them a in game mail to ask if they are active. The ones that dont respond and dont have a * must not be active

That's not that bad. Thx.

However, a lot sweat and hard labour is involved.

I'm not that sure if all players know they have a note and how they can change it. And you can bet that many would not ask.

Ok, you still can catch the active ones with the check mail.

We'll see if there are even better solutions. Thx, @Syncronized

if you are the guild master, or a officer of some sort, You would place and * in there note.. not them doing it. And it wouldnt take long if you start and when once and a while check who is online and scroll down and see if they have a * in there note.

The basic way (on Xbox one) is to open their gamertag profile and see the last time they played game.
It gives specific days.

Send a message on the console, not game mail asking if they plan on returning prior to removing them.

*I don't consider guild specific activity as this level of management seems to fall under micro managing players.
Whatever works for you...but my thoughts are to keep it simple.
If you need to remove someone due to overall space....rethink how adding players to the guild is handled as 500 ppl is a lot but based on the time of the OP post, it sounds like there are other issues if you're having groups of ppl in question of removing and don't know if they are active or inactive.

Ok, I misunderstood you. My mistake. lol

Still a lot of work, certainly in a guild with 400 or 500 members.

Dear @ZOS, please provide a column in the Guild Roster with the date last time online.

On the PS4 you do have such a profile too, but as a user you can prevent that all people can watch it.
Seems this would not work for me.

For me personal, the issue isn't an issue yet. My guild is rather young, most members are still active. But it can be an issue when we reach the 500 members cap and we would have many members who stopped playing.

I want to see if there’s a nice solution before it’s an issue.

It can change very fast as well. I know already guilds on the console with 100 or 200 zombie members. These Guilds are only 3 or 4 months old. In a way it’s creepy. lol

Constantly says I'm offline no matter what I do on Ps4 sine IC update came out. Without a way to fix it it tmakes one wonder how many are getting kicked as inactives by mistske.

Does the PS4 friends list within ESO not also list the exact last time each person played ESO?
(You would need to add them which may be an issue for PS4 as Xbox one just requires that you follow them. They don't need to follow you back)

If this isn't available on PS4 ....IDK, maybe there are other ps4 specific ways to better determine a players game activities

I don't know.

I have to check that one. And I do have to look about the possible negative impacts as well.
