Pausing allowed online
« on: May 30, 2011, 07:55:16 AM »
The ability to pause while playing an online match may not appeal to all. It appeals to the player who wants to keep his kill to loss ratio at its peak. Ages of Empires 3 allows a player to pause up to 15 times in one match. The ability to turn pausing on and off would be an added feature much like the "No pop cap."

ABSOLUTELY NOT. What a ridiculous request.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

as far as I'm concerned, this only works when you're playing solo, and it is most likely hardcoded, so there's no chance anyone would want this nor would it be possible to implement.

This is a good idea,i was thinking to post it too :)
Example:a player pauses the game and other players have the choice to resume the game if they don't agree with this pause.And every player can pause the game max 2 times and the pause can last as much as you wan't,depending on the other players will they resume it or not.
I mean it can't hurt anyone if it is added it's just your own opinion will you wait 4 the other player
I think it's great :)
But i don't think this is possible to make  :-\

???  :-\  :-\  :-\  :)  :-\  :(  >:( No!

Why would you ever need to pause for anyway? If you need to go, go and pray when you come back that you haven't been wiped out thats all.

I was once playing a Scheldt with my two mates and one had to drive somewhere which took him 30 minutes. He came back and we were in the exact same position. He had accumulated a few thousand MP in that time and just spammed stuff until we won. Sometimes it's beneficial for someone to leave :P.

He was PE. Needless to say there were a few additional panthers rolling around.

this function is available on a few other rts games i've played, one player pauses, but the game isn't paused unless the other player also pauses.

it's not a big issue for sure but it would be nice.

Locking this since even *if* we wanted to add it, there's no way we can do it with our current set of tools.
