The forced alt-tab notification to "Maybe you should take a break" from Gateway every hour, starting at 2 hours of gameplay, is crippling to a game like Dragon Saga that's so action-oriented. With no auto-attack feature, during the window switch we're left defenseless and this almost certainly means death if we were in the middle of fighting.

Gateway currently does not seem to have an option to turn this "feature" off. Meaning that most people turn off Gateway as soon as they start the Dragon Saga loader.

This is counter-intuitive and meaningless. If Gateway didn't force window-switch every hour, I would not turn off Gateway. As it is, with the already prevalent lag and disconnects, having another uncontrollable event that results in character death, exp loss, and item/buff loss is highly frustrating.

Please include an option in Gateway to turn off the hourly "Maybe you should take a break" notices.

Thank you.

(If the option is present, please direct me to it and ignore the above post.)

You can exit out of the Gateway Client after you click for the Dragon Saga Launcher. Problem solved.

Oh, you're a genius. He was completely unaware of that.

I agree. This really should if anything, be moved into the client (such as how maplestory handles it)

A forced alt tab in this game can easily cripple anyone. You can't say that we should just not play so much either, because right now people will just turn gateway off.

Oh, you're a genius. He was completely unaware of that.

I assumed he was and sarcastically stated that he knew it, since there's really no reason to even keep the gateway launcher up. Unless, you know, a person used the messenger/never heard of AIM or MSN or Skype or Ventrillo or can't use the chat function in game or... You get the idea. Basically, game hosts/makers/etc don't do anything that's not necessary. Which makes sense, since every little feature costs money and time to make. If it's not needed, don't bother. It makes sense, right? A person can exit out of the gateway launcher if they don't like the auto+alt+tab. Problem solved. Or in other words, a solution to this problem ALREADY EXISTS in another form - that's good enough for them, even if it isn't for a FEW players. So I suppose I am a genius for being the only one to notice that, thanks. :3c

To reiterate how to solve the issue:
Close Gateway
Get another messenger or use your browser to go on their website for whatever reason

To reiterate the reiteration:
Close Gateway
Get another messenger or use your browser to go on their website for whatever reason

Its not the disability actually
I get it if you forget it open and when you are at boss and it steals your window focus etc but thats not it
Its more like stupid, "You have been playing for 2 hours", You force me to play for 2 hours because of this Water Temple dungeon (example)
oh and don't play for 2 hours, I go eat, talk with parents, do stuff, watch tv while game is open
And game is trying to tidy our life or something ?
- Im going to grind all day
- You've been playing for 2 hours (and these aren't the droids you are looking for)
- OH NO! WHAT AM I DOING I SHOULD GO GET A LIFE

I laughed this day more than usual
