An awesome fix for pause abuse would be to blank screen on pause. No one can see anything. No once can queue up stuff no one can get intel.

faf, the game for manly men

You still have to convince me that we need to spend dev time time for fringe 1-in-a-hundred system that disadvantages everyone equally in the hopes that one abuser cannot take a chance at a block, deselect, timer, reason, anything

Just report the dude, dude.

Really? if you need to go for a piss and can't wait ten seconds for the pause to kick in, you deserve to wet yourself.

But sometimes the games last ~1 hour and by then you will be breakdancing if you cannot pause. I think pause should be kept as is.

There are other, far better ways of killing people that will barely be affected by pause - such as a flood of units, an air snipe, an exp rush, tech rush, gun rush, double teaming, triple teaming, etc.

If ya can't hold a pee for ten seconds then you should be at bingo evening instead of playing online games.

Why can't i just type in "Building a shield to block TML"

And you would reply "I would report you and get you a nice ban"
But then i would say "So why won't that happen in the first place"

A better option if you really feel the need to have an anti pause abuse system is to just disable any ingame actions besides talking in chat, maybe just wipe any building that was currently sselected so when the game unpauses you have to reselect the building and place it again..

It's that easy

You mean whatever you are pausing for can't wait 1 or 2 second longer you need to type in "phone' for example?

Alternatively there could be a 3 second delay on when the pause goes active.

That actually sounds fairly easy to implement actually. Unless i'm missing/forgetting something important.
If we just make you unable to have anything selected while paused and you get everything you selected previously back as selected.

This doesn't avoid people pausing to warn others though, since with that you would just need to pause sooner and he could just get ready to insta queue whatever he would have previously queued during the pause. So doesn't really solve much.

I have an idea; require the pause function to fill in a reason in a textbox. This way you cannot insta pause. Don't know if possible though.

My heartfelt regret over this dastardly threadomancy.....

no...not really.

anyway. Ten second delay until pause. so you click pause and every player gets Pause in 10...9...8 etc message.

The ten seconds of course just being a rough guesstimate... a suitable delay that is just long enough to prevent general shield blocking abuse given the travel time of a TM at max range.

don't know if this is even possible....
