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

It is a nice feature to have. Spent a few hundred hours playing grim dawn this past year and it is nice to be able to pause the instance to go take a piss or rub one out or grab a coffee or read something. Does it make the game easier? I suppose if you are so caught up in the intensity of the moment that a pause is an advantage to you than sure. But for 99% of players it is a basic QOL feature that you would never feel the need to exploit and if someone does exploit it than they are so far behind the curve it does not matter anyway.

It is a feature only good for solo play like pausing a map. There is no good argument not to have it made in this thread and none that I can think of my personal experience using such a feature. Even add an auto-save feature maybe. You get a server side crash or power failure or PC failure. Come back on and restore your map instance exactly where it was left at the cost of a portal. Might even be a way to safeguard against losing gains when the entire instance crashes like is seems to have been occurring early this league where the map and all your loot from it is zero'd.

I do like this feature in GD, however, I also like that the portal is instant cast and doesn't require a scroll, nor does it time out.

Online game that doesnt pause. SHOCK!

Oh man, can you imagine?
What would everyone else do while you pause the entire game to pee?

He was talking about single player obviously. Many game already have this feature to be able to pause whilst playing solo.

Another thing that is annoying is doing a shaper map and shaper shooting at you while you are in the betrayal screen lol. I almost died to that.

This game doe snot have a single player. All servers are linked and everyone is on them at the same time. there are only separate instances of zones created. That is not the same thing as single player. The more you know.

There is no single player, obviously. WTF

Playing solo. Is it really that complicated to understand. Even starcraft 1 had a pause button.. in multiplayer.

But around here everything is impossible. Cannot be done. Nope no way.

Yeah, I'm gonna head to Lioneye's Watch and pause the game.
Let me know how that works out for everyone else in that area.
