Prime-Ares Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Was there any particular reason DE took out the ability to "Pause" the game while solo? This is one of the main reasons I even play solo in kuva, sorties, high-level missions, etc. especially whilst multi-tasking or studying and just need to come back later. Really hoping this is just an overlooked bug, otherwise, it takes away a vital element of WF for me. Edited August 25, 2018 by Prime-Ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of reasons "pause" has probably been removed especially with upcoming changes/challenges for higher level players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Vauban Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I might be missing something here, but pausing works perfectly fine for me, maybe it's a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-Shadowblade Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 No idea what you are talking about. Solo still pauses everything around me. Are you sure you aren't in friends only or invite only mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Gibberish-Jack Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Solo play should allow pausing. Im pretty sure ive been pausing when playing solo. I have a 5yr old boy, so ignoring him because i cant pause doesnt really work well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzelda123 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I think you're thinking of pausing in POE? I think due to the day and night cycle they can't allow POE to be paused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That1Cactus Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Pausing still works as intended unless your in the Plains which I am assuming you were in at the moment? *Or maybe you accidentally set it to Friends/Invite Only which also doesn't pause missions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Juger. Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Pausing wasn't working for me either but I restarted and all fine. So, there's must be a bug that's causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonseang Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) as far as i know. you cant solo pause in PoE. Edited August 25, 2018 by simonseang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Zero_029 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You in POE or set to Invite/Friends only? From what I read from patch notes the pause feature was not removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazel412 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It most likely is a bug. I had it as well when I was running solo sortie spy today, and the bug went away after closing and reopening the game. The patch notes made no mention of removing the pause in solo mode, either. I know DE does have undocumented changes, but considering I was able to pause again in solo mode outside of PoE this doesn't appear to be one of them. Only thing is, I have no idea how to replicate the bug. "It started happening after the Revenant update" could mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of reasons "pause" has probably been removed especially with upcoming changes/challenges for higher level players Because a video game shouldn't dictate when I have to schedule my alternative time around it to do a full-on mission without the ability to stop and come back to it later on? Would also love to know these "reasons" it would have been removed. Cause such an integral feature fo solo players is a big deal breaker for me. 6 minutes ago, (PS4)Zero_029 said: You in POE or set to Invite/Friends only?

Omega-Shadowblade Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Well send in a bug report then. No need to get snarky about it. I've verified that for me it still functions as it normally does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find anything in the patch notes about removing that functionality, Something that big would be noted, and less than 10 minutes ago from this post I went into a few random missions and didn't experience anything unusual. Everything pauses to standstill as per usual. Best to send in your logs so they can take a look.

Talinthis Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It is just bugged or I would think they would have said it was removed. Question is if they will ever fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 judging by responses, it seems to be a bug, possibly a rare-ish one, but there nonetheless. DE usually pick up on things like this though, so it should get fixed soon. removing Pausing outright would be nothing but a hindrance to solo players, so I can't see them ever doing that deliberately.

aswitz87 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Will do some thorough testing so I can submit a bug report later (to figure out what exactly triggers it). A side note: that railgun moa had the worst aim I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
