The pause system generates unacceptable toxic behavior.
Some players take the liberty of refusing a break when another player has politely asked to stop the game.
One shouldn’t be able to restart the game if he hasn’t stopped it himself.
On the other hand, it’s important to avoid abusing the pause to generate other toxic behaviors (e.g. pausing because you’re losing to annoy the opposing team).
I propose that the game should not be restarted by a third player (a player who has not stopped the game) during the first 5 minutes of the game.
In the vast majority of cases, a player needs a break at the start of the game when he or she becomes aware of a lag problem, graphics problem or a problem with keyboards, mouse controllers etc…
After 5 minutes, the system remains as it is today.
This is literally a non-issue. People who do not have time should not be playing online ranked games of Age of Empires 2. This is not a chill relax game where you just sit around for five minutes and do nothing and expect to win. Every second in the game matters particularly in the early game.
What you suppose is time wasting on others who have time. That’s unfair. I’m here to play a game not wait around to play a game. I don’t care if you’re busy or have bad Internet connection/bad PC. I want to play the game finish it. An afk player basically gives me an advantage over them. I am sometimes willing to wait about a minute before continuing the game.
The lag is usually caused by server, it is not people can fix.
Some people with potato PC/ internet can’t fix lag either.
The people deserve to get unpaused if they don’t know not to download stuffs while playing.
IMO, I don’t mind waiting in 1v1, but I will not let other 7 people wait me in TG.
Edit, the only issue I have ever had is unchecked mod, and it is not I can fix without resign.
This is a damn issue. You are the problem by not being able to show a minimum of fair play.
The funny thing is that the lower the ELO, the less fairplay players show. And above all, they use the argument of competitiveness to justify their lack of fair play.
Bruh is happy to win against a guy who’s run out of battery in his mouse, so he can climb from 1412 to 1428 ELO! This is damn sad. It’s a good thing we don’t see all this childish crap in every game.
Is it not better to wait in the hopes of actually getting a more enjoyable game than to unpause, and basically end the game there and then? Then you aren’t actually getting a balanced match like you could be, thus rendering it pointless as far as I’m concerned.
I already saw your message where you told that you are 900 elo. That confirms that you this is a typical behavior of noob. “Every second of the game counts” but still you are 900 elo.
Im talking of the first 5 min of the game (which are not even real minutes). And according to me, winning a game against someone not playing is also a waste of time. Be fair play guys, it’s a game.
