Suggesting rule change: make immediately unpausing after a player asked for a pause against the rules.
-
Also have it so the guy who pauses doesnt have the timer, since accidental pauses happen from time to time

@IndexLibrorum sounds good, but imo 30 seconds is A LOT. I would even say 10 seconds is A LOT and was more thinking like 5. But maybe have this configurable in the lobby settings?
I'll bring it up with the devs!

Yes, absolutely.

If the host pauses, no one but the host should be able to un-pause.
If the host refuses to pause when you need a minute, you can leave the game and join one that isn't hosted by a cunt. -

As a result, we will be reaching out to the development team to explore the feasibility of implementing such a cooldown period of 10 or 30 seconds. We believe that this should be sufficient to prevent immediate unpausing while still allowing the game to continue smoothly after a reasonable waiting period.
Update: Thanks to efforts by @Jip , the cooldown-after-pause feature will likely be part of the next patch. Any feedback on that feature is naturally welcome once it is released.
-
@Nuggets Oh well. Leave the game and join a different one.
-
After having "used" this new feature i find it to be bad, can this be configurable in lobby options? Have standard set to 5, but with the option to disable
-
Can you define what makes it bad in your experience?
-
@Jip Imo 2 things:
- missclicking on it (i was expecting this)
- if a guy needs to afk for 30s+ a player may still unpause after 10s, being annoying, and wasting a minimum of 2-3 timeouts or more
-
Unless it does not work, you should be able to unpause any pause you initiated immediately. If you miss clicked, you can correct it as usual.

Maybe I'm sleepy, but I don't get it? Wasn't this more of an issue before?
-
@Jip with limited timeouts (3 for each player iirc) if someone wants to be an ass he can unpause enough times within 30-70s to make your team run out of timeouts. It really depends on the situation, short pauses are a lot better, long pauses might have the same issues as before, missclicks are worse :S
-
Missclicks shouldn't be an issue at all, though? Like Jip said, you can immediatly unpause if you were the person to pause.
-
@IndexLibrorum i must have been mistaken then, was sure i got blocked from unpausing a few times. That's one problem less ig.
Before making a somewhat lenghty explanation as to what i think the problem is, i'd like to make sure i'm not starting from a wrong assumption: in ladder (and even custom unless people decide to change the setting) everyone has 3 pauses, right? If not, what's the current system like?
