This needs to be FIXED IMMEDIATELY
|
First things first:
There are plenty of things that deserve higher priority than this—I get that. And yes, this mostly affects the Hardcore community. So if you're about to come in hot with a flamethrower, save the fuel—I already understand your point. ISSUE ——— For Hardcore players, being able to press pause the moment things get even mildly spicy and then respawn at checkpoint is... well, frankly, ridiculous. You just saved your character with one click, and the "penalty" is that monsters respawn on the map? Wow, what a brutal consequence—truly, Exile, may your flasks always be empty. 🙄 It completely undermines the spirit of Hardcore—where death is supposed to mean something. I know the pause/respawn system serves other functions, but please, if it only takes minimal resources and a few dev cycles: disable it in Hardcore (not the pause, jsut the respawn). Leave the safety nets in Softcore, where they belong with gold-bordered items and the dream of trading for a Mirror one day.

God forbid we are able to pause in a video game.

Will... never... happen.
The PoE hardcore community has defended this for years. "Nyo, I am actually a good hardcore player avoiding every non-one-shot danger with my logout marco!11!!!" [Removed by Support]

" I have absoutely no issue with pausing I actually like pause. Being able to exploit the respawn mechanic is the issue here, not pause. |

" It really saddens me if this is genuinely the case, however I believe there are many Hardcore enjoyers that would share this sentiment. |

" I mean, being able to pause a game is actually great for obvious "out-game" reasons, but believe me... the vast majority of the PoE HC community defends the "logout macro" for "in-game" reasons. The streamer "Mathil1" challenged the HC community a while ago to play a league without it, and the resulting rage was... priceless. They will die on that hill, while pretending they are the elite because they don't use the "6-portal defence" like soft-core players. Wanna check their stance on that matter yourself? Go to any HC streamers' chat and ask them about removing "logout macro", good luck. [Removed by Support]

" WOW!!!! Thanks for this I will investigate. Whats the point of playing HC then, unless you just want to be elitist *sigh*. Out of curiousity, what is teh 6 portal thing you talk about? |

I'm a hardcore player but not such a hardcore player that I don't want every additional layer available to save my damn character when I've made an error.
IDK what the logout macro is, are people mapping a macro to a mouse button to chicken-bot their character out of the game? that is a bit precious IMO, but as for being able to hit ESC to chicken out of a situation, that's been part of hardcore since D2, rather not have that taken away. I have always seen it as part of the hardcore experience, a tool at your disposal, a small amount of forgiveness because we all make mistakes sometimes, we get distracted by something, playing while sleep deprived, it's nice to have something for those situations so I don't have to limit my playtime to the 3 hours per day when I'm most focused and alert.
