"Pause" function will be a big problem.
|
It automaticaly makes multiplayer way worse bcs it gives single player a huge advantage.
Plus it trivializes boss fights, because you can pause the game every second to dodge boss mechanics without the need to learn them. The Maven "simon says" mechanik f.e. would be a complete joke if this would be a thing in POE1....same for almost all other boss mechanics. It's avery abusive function + it kills multiplayer completely. Having a protection for crashes is nice but being able to abuse this feature by ourself without having any game crash is very bad for the game. Hope this feature isn't going live in 2 days, just give it more time to refine. ;) Last edited by CroDanZ#1818 on Dec 4, 2024, 10:29:25 AM Last bumped on Dec 5, 2024, 9:45:11 PM

It's somewhat trivially solvable by burying the pause button under a couple menus that don't stop the game, other games already do that. This way you are still able to find a safe corner to pause the game if you really need to, without letting you use it as a reactive crutch.

It will never stop making me laugh when I see someone suddenly having an opinion minutes after a streamer has the same opinion. You should at least credit Raxx if you're going to plagiarize his work, OP.
Anyway, I'll tell you the same thing I told him: it doesn't actually matter because the only times that boss kills mean anything are for races and gauntlet-type events, where this will feature will certainly be disallowed, if not disabled completely for the duration of the event. People can pause-spam if they really want to avoid learning boss mechanics, but in the end all it does is prevent them from learning those boss mechanics. It's like cheating on your homework in school; you're just setting yourself up to fail the test. |

" Chronomancer has no dmg or defence boost from Ascendancy, so it doesn't matter. |

" Uhh... Chronomancer has both, but we aren't talking about that at all. This is about the Escape menu "pause" feature available to all classes in PoE2, and its purported ability to ruin ultra-sweaty boss racing. Last edited by ARealLifeCaribbeanPirate#2605 on Dec 4, 2024, 1:12:22 PM

" Lol what?....Didn't know that but at least I'm not alone with my oppinion. This "feature" just catched my eye 2 days ago while searching reddit for a task related to my work and the first thread that appeared was the "pause function" in POE2. That's my pers. oppinion but nice if Rexx has the same...his video will surely reacht the attiontion of GGG earlier than a small post of a mortal like me in the official forums. ;) Take my energy Raxx, hope they hear you and all cudos to u. :) " It matters a lot.....It's practicaly THE Chronomancer skill for all classes. Plus as mentioned it makes Multiplayer way worse than playing Solo, because this is a huge feature for Solo Player. But we'll see how it turns out and as somone here already mentioned that's the purpose of EA/Beta. Last edited by CroDanZ#1818 on Dec 4, 2024, 1:39:05 PM

That will literally destroy Hardcore.
It's worse than logout-macro, and it means players will ONLY die to sudden one-shot mechanics that they didn't see coming; whic means , GGG will put even more sudden one-shot mechanics.and in ENdgame? Lets Pause and call a friend for help , lets pause and reorganize, lets pause and reset the boss so i dont die , and in dont have to search the boss again. And sorry for my bad English , not my main language |
