I know this has been suggested a million times before, but hear me out as to why this idea is different.

Many people say, if it was just a button on the side, people would abuse it in shooting games. Well what if, you had to input a time? If someone was shooting at you, they wouldv'e killed you alredly. AND it would only last for minutes. The minimum time would be one minute. It would pretty much freeze your screen, with it would turn an opaque white, and a counter in the corner would say how much time is left. You would also be moved to a spawn point.

To other players, it would show your name and an AFK symbol next to it. Your charecter would also have an old style FF on it, to identify you were AFK.

Support, but a minute is a little bit harsh, what if you just have to go and open the door for somone or something quick like that?

I like the idea, but instead of being blind, I'd suggest removing tools in your backpack and have a walkspeed of 0 with force field until you return.

Your'e not blind. You know how in Windows when something stops working it gets like that white cover? it would be like that.

Also, it has to be a minute so it's not abusable.

Spamer Samer has a point, it shouldn't be white. It should be a darker color.

Due to all the supriority of the color white due to the fact that all the wavelentghs are added together INCLUDING purple, what UV radation is makes it bad. It should be some type of grey.

Support,but i think a better way for people not to abuse it is instead of a one minute time limit,it would just be automatic so it would prove the person isnt using it as an advantage.Then again,i dont think that would work

We really need an AFK feature, it's one of those things that players have been asking for since the beginning.

Meh, I have to say that it should be a transparent black to match with the theme that ROBLOX is going with now, and that you can de-activate it at any time. It takes five seconds however, and in that time, your FF is removed, and you are open to damage until the five seconds are up.

You didn't read the whole post. You HAVE to set a time, and it's not instantaneous.

By the time you have set the time, you're most likely dead.

How about this...?
1. Say "AFK"
2. Hide into lighting
3. Removes tools
4. Say "UNAFK"
5. Teleport to spawn with no WOs lost

@LUE
But they can still kill you if they want to, or safechatters won't see it, and they kill them anyways.

Oh and LUE...
If they put that it would have to be in the safechat menu for Guests/SafeChatters to use and people who can chat would just go there.
