Just today I wnet against a hades player by the name of BTHORSKULLXFIRE and I was playing as Kronos. He kept pausing and unpausing the game because he was losing. As someone who doesn’t have a pause/break button on my HP ENVY x360 gaming PC I just had to sit there for hours as he kept throwing taunts and profanities in the ingame chat in spanish to ensure I’d quit and so he get free ELO. Eventually he gave up and forfieted but there seriously needs to be a time limt between each pause or ban it completly as how does someone like me counteract this?
Cant you set the pause to a different button?
Most games that has a pause option limits it to three uses. I think that would be fine for AoM. If you need more than three pauses you probably should not had played in the first place.
There is a limit of 15 pauses per player.
This can be too much for rated games, but the target audience of this game is 30+, mostly with kids, so vs AI or unranked games 15 is just right.
Then they should probably differentiate between ranked games and single player.
Theres no “cooldown” or “forced time” you have to respect the pause for, so you can unpause just as fast as you pause, so 15 pauses isnt delaying you much if you are keen on not waiting on any of them.

I had no idea it was 15 times. But you have to admit that unpausing 15 times make you question if there is a limit at all.
the limit is clearly stated each time a game is paused. The game has many issues but this isn’t one of them
Kinda. If you already unpaused for like 5 consecutive times chances are your opponent got the idea that you are not waiting. Most stop after some time or type sth to explain the situation to you
Even if wants to use them all to just troll you, pressing a key 15 times isnt really raxing you too much tbh.
Is it anoying? Sure, does it lead to anything meaningful? IMO, no
It took me 2 hours to figure out how to unpause the game lol
We all have had those derp moments. Good thing is you can change hotkeys mid game and theres a search bar to look for so the option is there at least.
Dunno how would you come to explain in detail in game to make players aware of this dynamic. Seems one of those things you gotta look for yourself.
Each person should only have one pause right, and once used, the other party should not be able to restart it. Only the person who paused can resume it. But it must be limited to a duration of only 2 minutes.
