free roam solo pause

[Castavaan]

Why can't you pause the game in solo mode in free roam missions?  It's not like there's an option to invite friends into your party until you're inside Fortuna or Cetus.

Reason: changing time of day in plains/Vallis.

Cause time advances for the enemies as a function of the time of day (so, vomvalysts will despawn at dawn, for instance). As time in poe/ov is the same for all players, enemies can't be paused, otherwise you could pause during a vomvalyst night session and then resume (and unpause the vomvalysts) during the day, resulting in a forbidden day vomvalyst.

If you want to ask why DE decided to set time in poe/ov as the same for all players, it's probably linked to the bounties - time of day dictates accessible bounties. It must be the same for everyone.

 

 

Is it frustrating? Sure, i died a couple of times because of that. I have learned to adapt.
