http://fafafaf.bitbucket.org/#2817003
here is an example

it happens somewhere around 1:45 - 1:55
while game was paused i issued around 1100 reclaim commands
My FA even lags there when i watch replay
i also found some kind of problem, that i could not queue more commands at some point, so yea... i could do even more commands, but there was a limit for commands per engy

shortly after that Joly desided that playing without mouse was a bad idea and quit, so we had to end game
look at my APM and there is also graph that shows how many reclaim commands i did (1285)

if some one attempts to say that if we add area reclaim commands then manual reclaim will not have advantage i will answer that i am not just clicking on rocks, i also can use build range efficiently, and i do not think we have some kind of script that can do it, i also can see what rocks worth reclaim and what are not, on canis there are different type of rocks, one gives 5 or 10 mass, another 40-50... and it may make sence to even skip reclaiming small ones to get all big ones faster...

well... what else can i do with that free time... i play fullscreen and my PC can't even handle me having other stuff running while i play FA xD

I think if you pause the game, I can setup manual reclaim, my next bases, etc while I have to wait.

Would be great to know who keeps unpausing, cant ban people without it (with lobby manager). Those guys need to be known.

That's not ture, there is maybe not much use in competitive games, but less competitive people that play with friends or vs AI might want to pause exactly for the purpose to give orders without time pressure. You could make it a game lobby option, but it's not really a problem that you can give orders.

Thread suggestion is good though.

Yeah, there's literally no good reason for this feature.

Thanks! Sorry about the wrong thread - will post in the suggestions section next time. =)

One common thing that happens when pausing is: One player says "Pls pause the game" - 4 People press pause and the result is: Pause, unpause, pause, unpause and the game goes on. So it doesn't have to be a rude player on purpose (though this is often the case). In the end there is always confusion and frustration.

Again, thanks for looking into this issue.

+1 for this Idea to display who paused/unpaused the game!

abuse of pause funtion

2015-04-10T13:46:12+02:00

When having a team game it happens that one player pauses for a moment (door bell, phone call etc) which is perfectly fine. However, chances are that there is at least one rude player who doesn't care and unpauses even though the other player isn't back yet. As you can pause only a couple of times but you can unpause as often as you like the guy who wants to ruin the game always wins. I understand that it's safer to allow everyone to unpause. However, is it possible to display who unpaused the game as it would make things so much easier?
