Why doesnt the game pause while you are in a menu?

Again hard laughing about the scary button that player could use to cheat on hardcore, very bad bad button or pause.
Did you know that lots of HC players are using logo off makro?
How should it help or cheat, if you get nearly killed but then fast hit pause in single player mde? If you would dare to end the pause, guess what, you are toast.
No the pausing like in D3 while in single player would not affect anything or cheat anywhere.
Did you Know GGG has no problem with logg off makro buttons?
Some dudes here should first think, then think again and maybe then post it.

No matter what reason you are given, you will think it's not good enough.

no need for a pause ; just incorporate the logout macro into the game officially as a keybind so everyone is on the same ground ;)

every streamer uses it so i guess its fine, but i dont want to install autohotkey or something from github just to logout like the streamers.. lol

either make it illegal or make it available for everyone ingame, imo.

Actually keep it in the game, because it makes me lol whenever I see highlights of these wanna be hard core players spamming the macro and they still end up dead.

i am not an idiot. i will take into consideration real reasons, not assumptions (like it will lag the game) or plain "made up" reasons like HC players will abuse it (since they already abuse the logout macro) or "this game is not for wimps" - like a pause will do anything to change the way the game is played or it takes the fun out of players who prefer a more hardcore experience - that hardcore experience is all choice on the player, so he can choose also not to use the pause if he so desires.

just try to give a real good reason and not made up ones.

i said several times the reason why i think it should exist in game, and that is IRL "surprises" where you actually need to leave your pc "right then" - and not lose a portal or other stuff.

No real reason for an instance not to pause when you're in single player mode, though. And actually some good reasons for it actually pause (economic, stop needlessly bleeding CPU). Strange that it's still like this after all these years, although obviously I'm used to portaling.

Thousands of people simultaneously pausing/unpausing their indivudal instances would absolutely wreck the servers lol. Tens of thousands of people just having multiple instances open already causes headaches on its own.

Wreck the servers? By pausing? As in reducing the servers work...? LOL! That would actually increase the overall server performance, or do you think that the server needs to store/load a savefile from a PS1 memory card slot on pause/unpause? Either way, you are wrong and have no clue what you are talking about or just inventing stuff to defend your cause.

Stop spreading nonsense like this please.

I give you one situation, when you would really love to have such pause function: when you are delving deep and the telephone rings and someone important is wanting you you to take the call. Or simplier, when you have to pee like hell and you mine wagon is again driving very strange ways that seem never to end.
As long you alone in the instance, who would it matter, if you pause your game and do your work.
As long we have no teleport when delving,it would be very nice to have

Online games do not pause, client has to keep up with the server.

It's called "sealioning". You can google it.
