All Networks You've Been Playing for Too Long!

[Eli]

I saw THIS thread and THIS and immediately thought playing for so long must definitely be a health hazard... many people have undergone serious health repercussions for playing videogames for a very extended period of time without consistent breaks. I believe it would be responsible for CubeCraft to encourage their users (especially their youngest ones!) to take breaks from the game every once in a while, for the sake of their good health.

@komododragon2002 mentioned this in a thread but it never really received a response and its been inactive for a while now. However I do think it could be a potentially life saving addition to both networks. Maybe a message like the one Nintendo uses "You've been playing for a while. Why don't you take a break?" every hour or two could definitely be benefitial!

Now some people might say a message is just an annoyance, and most players will likely not even pay attention to it... that's true! But it is the least that I imagine could be done to try and prevent people from playing for dangerous periods of time without a break. Any alternatives to a chat message might be too intrusive, not sure. Either way, the intention is what matters, after seriously long playing periods users might actually pay attention to the message, and take a very necessary break!

How Supercell implemented this measure, in their hit game "Clash of Clans"​

Tell that to me, I spent 8 hours playing Minecraft a few days ago.

Seriously, I think this may cause controversy. If this were to be added, it would be through Microsoft accessibility settings.

maybe add this whenever a new duels update comes out so people dont spend 30+ hours trying to stay on the leaderboard

I agree with your suggestion, however, it shouldn't disconnect you as clash of clans does, it should just send a reminder after a certain period of time.

Thank you for mentioning my thread, it will probably get forwarded now!


People first joked about it, but it would be genuinely a good idea

As you said, it should be there about every game. The message is rather important. It demotivates dangerous playing habits.

Don’t have much to add since I basically suggested this as well myself.

I think its a great idea and could help a bunch of players. I would honestly put it once every 2 or 3 hours to make them aware that they may need a break from videogames. Hope they see this and make this possible

Forcing people to leave the server would definitely cause controversy and would also reduce player count for the server. A reminder sounds alright but I doubt many people who know they have been playing for 10s hours would really care/pay attention to it.

 

[Velocidad]

the reminder would only make me feel bad for playing 12 hours a day :(

 

[PhilSwift76]

if theres a way to toggle it maybe, like somewhere in settings otherwise that could get pretty annoying. ALSO definitely do not display this during a game (probably already something you were thinking but just to mention it for sure)
