EPTIf someone gives a good reason for pausing though I'll wait. But if someone goes brb need to help parents with groceries, I'm not going to sit around. Usually they'll unpause out of no where also and expect me to be ready conveniently for them.

I don't understand how some1 could use the feature as a way of grieving...aren't they just ruining their own experience too? The only time I unpause instantly is when I'm clearly about to win, in which case yes they're doing it to be annoying. If its like the beginning of a game its pretty bm to unpause for some1. Just screams "desperate for ladder wins" to me, pretty pathetic. actually I've had someone use pause specifically to mess up my micro. I was zerg vs a toss and he moved into position with a large stalker/void/sentry/colossus army. As I was setting my units and getting a flank ready, he a-moves and immediately pauses it. I say '?' and wait for him to unpause, but he doesn't respond. After a few seconds I go to unpause, but while the menu is up, he unpauses! I quickly try to escape the menu and micro my units but I had already lost a lot of corruptor. Then, he does it again! I lost the battle, and then the game. This was pre-patch, pausing/unpausing works differently now (no menu, just a button press). | ||

If you want to pause in the middle of a game I will agree to waiting a minute or two at most before I will either leave the game or unpause depending on how I feel about it. | ||

I let people pause and pause myself rarely. I totally understand that they may lose their warmed up fingerspeed or they might forget their game plans during pause. so dont be a bm and call unpausers bm. | ||

Just 45 secs or something. I've seen this idea suggested several times, and it really boggles me. Have you never played against those people who pause the game then leave so that the score screen doesn't come up for you (patched now I believe) or the terrans who lift off and float to a corner just to waste your time? Imagine that but with all races. I think you get 3 pauses, so with that rule, any sore loser can waste 2:15 minutes of your time every game. Do you really want to allow that? Regarding the pause/unpause issue, I agree with Kiante and Excalibur. I'll be manner and give you a chance to tell me why it's paused. However, I'm completely fine with people who unpause immediately since they have no obligation to wait for you. | ||

If you pause the game, I immediately respond with "?", and you had better type in the reason for the pause within 5 seconds or I'm unpausing it. Even if it's just a bridge like "sec" to precede the reason, just type in something so I know you're not just being a jerk. If it's a legitimate reason I'll wait about a minute or so. That's how i do it, if someone pauses and doesn't state a reason why he pauses then i'm gonna unpause that shit right away. Tons of people abuse the Pause-button, it have happened that people pause in critical moments like when i'm harassing their mineral line or in battles to buy themselves time to react. | ||

Should have just added a timer like 3mins before the other player can Unpause. So your opponent can force you to wait 9 minutes arbitrarily? That's ridiculous. Pausing when you don't know the other player shouldn't be a default right. Your opponent should have to agree, and I think it's fine they can unpause. | ||

Lost all respect for you Hot_Bid. lol okay If you read what I said, I didn't say that I personally wouldn't do it. Of course I would wait. I said I understand when someone would not want to wait even 30 seconds for me to run my errand. I even said it would be a jerk thing to do. If someone who understands a viewpoint that they don't agree with makes you lose respect for someone, you must have no respect for just about any intelligent person. Because most people who are open minded can personally disagree with something but still understand it. By pausing you are asking for a favor. You are saying "my time is more important than yours at this moment" and while that might be true, they are still within their rights to refuse the favor. If what you have to do for 3 minutes is so important, quit the game. I don't see why someone should be forced to wait for your errand. | ||

Feel like trolling while laddering? Butthurt because you lost a game? No problem! The built-in "annoy-your-opponent-to-no-end" feature enables you to force to him wait for 9 minutes until the game can be continued. The Pause feature is absolutely fine as it is, as Hot_Bid explained quite nicely. And if you absolutely have to go afk during a game where you believe that your opponent will unpause and don't want to quit for some reason, just don't pause. Go afk without saying anything and return as quickly as possible, so that your opponent doesn't know that you're gone. If you tell him, he will surely attack straight away...

I find it pretty retarded you can't even sum up the respect to not make your opponent wait 3 minutes, just because you can't organize your time well enough to play a game without pausing. | ||

Pretty much my feelings here tell me a reason i'll give you 1-3 minutues as long as its not during some stupid time like an engagement or during harass (lol). Even if they don't let you just ignore the door its not as important as SC2 anyways. | ||
