Good God!

I apparently spent too much time crafting a new character, and just as I go to hit the final "accept" command on the PS4, I get disconnected for INACTIVITY!

Damnit, Zeni! Increase your inactivity cutoff by 5 minutes, please!

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and good night!

    Does your character have to be beautiful and perfect? ;)

    Heh. Well, since I have to look at it for hundreds of hours to come, I'd prefer at least near-perfection. <3

    Alas, she lived but 20 minutes or so. :'(

    Next time, I'm definitely making use of the "lock" options. :s

    I feel your pain op, I have had that happen to me a couple times. I would get through it all making all those options perfect and when I was thinking of what my name would be boom music starts.

    By forge and fire we prep for war
    With war in our eyes we're ready to die
    With death in hand we bear our blades
    By Stendarr's blade we will settle the score

    Here's the irony: I went back in a re-created the character. I played her up to level 4, at which point I deleted her.

    Why? Because it turns out Altmer really do have golden skin — and my toon's skin was so golden, it was like playing with an Oscar statuette. Too distracting. Back to Coldharbour she went!

    That Afk kick during character creation is so dumb .

    Eventually you will memorize the number of clicks from the left for each option.

    ...that awkward moment, when you click "agree" on a post, and the count goes down. D'oh.

    But, yeah, character creation shouldn't be considered AFK.

    Weird, because I've spent 20+ minutes in character creator and never been kicked for inactivity. Did you remain on one screen the entire time or for a long period of time? I tend to move back and forth between screens. I just don't get why would it be 'inactivity' if you're actively making selections? I could see if someone went AFK or something.

    IIRC, it's a console only issue. Which is probably why I've never encountered this first hand.
