Yes it's true, they are considering to implement that feature in the future for heroic elites.

Apart from being great in-game trolling tool... It's not such a bad idea. For soloing at least. Got indulgence of the mad queen and a phone call at the same time? Pause.

So they've gone from copying MOBAs to copying KotOR...

I guess, if its implemented, everyone can unpause, not just someone that turned it on.

This of course means people will start mashin pause/unpause button 24/7.

First huge laugh for the morning.

Awww Meli, you know better than that

Ya'll suck at griefing.  Wait till everything is finished, quest complete and folks are OTW to the chest.

Pause, bitches.

Queue righteous anger.

In all seriousness, they should put a timer on it of 60 seconds that recharges as it isn't being used.  Counts down when paused, counts up slowly when not paused.

Now you blew it.
This is why we can't have nice things.

I wouldnt say bitter and twisted. Just amazed / disappointed / dejected at the lost opportunity. Devs never really took it seriously, when it should have been an absolute priority. The earlier they reveal their ideas the better - because it means the real stinkers can be quickly and even cheaply fixed.

Any time there was a delay they would skip the planning, which would lead to disasters further down the track. They never learned from this. So I can only assume they were perfectly comfortable with releasing garbage figuring they would fix some of the stuff at some point, and completely ignore some of the stuff forever (while pretending that they care).

Yeah it very much felt like this. They would gauge our rage and then come back with some changes. Often very quickly which had me thinking it was pre-planned.

Then it would go to Lamania and they would gauge the reaction from the much larger audience. Changes there would  sometimes take much longer because they had some real work to do.

So it was a case of trying to ram through what they had always planned by giving us things we hate and then having us think we made a difference by paring it back a little.

Its one of those Column A, Column B things.

I thought it was clever, though I really do hope people were just playing along.

That said, the outrage is from the types most likely to spam "PM me exploit plz" type posts over and over thinking that someone will actually pay attention and help.

Vault is not here to help.

I'm waiting for the next thread on live to have it as a suggestion for real.

It was like my thread where I said sorcs were OP and they needed to do keyboard combinations to cast their spells, it was funny seeing the rage but there were people who honestly thought it was a brilliant idea and they were going to start asking for it.

So...

The next suggestion would be that monks are too weak, they should be able to get trap skills and the ability to change form into dragons (centered, of course) at higher levels. Dragons would have 2x the attack damage of Treeform, 5x the AoE (as large as an enlarged haste), yet retain the attack speed, run speed, and martial arts of monks. There should be a downside though, for game balance. The dragons can only be of the colour yellow.
