The pause menu wait #4714

Closed Tanza3D closed 5 years ago

Tanza3D commented 5 years ago

When im playing osu!, im usually around people. So in osu stable i can easily pause the game and take off my headphones to chat to them and then continue, but with osu!lazer i cant do this because i need to wait, and while waiting for the pause menu to show up i miss a bunch of circles and sometimes die.

Please remove the wait and maybe add some sort of penalty for pausing too much? like in osu!stable when theres like a 5 second wait before pausing again, i think that would be good.

please, it's so annoying to have to wait in order for the pause screen to show up.

My concern with this is abusing pause, especially for other gamemodes. The cooldown before re-pausing is already in there, though it's only 1 second, but I don't think that's sufficient of a penalty when people are able to pause mid-gameplay in mania.

flashwave commented 5 years ago

only enable it for mania or other concerned gamemodes then

peppy commented 5 years ago

It concerns every ruleset.

I personally fail to see a major issue with being able to pause. The only real post I was able to find about this was https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/comments/9ugys6/pausing_is_cheating/. What this video basically states, is that pausing allows a player to get a break to breathe / regain stamina at parts in the map where that would normally not be possible (or at least not to that extent). Having to wait a second for the pause menu to show up fixes basically nothing about that. I see it as an inconvenience if anything, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people would agree. I also doubt that pausing is used / exploited competitively in any way, but I'd love to get proven wrong at that if it's the case.

flashwave commented 5 years ago

perhaps a compromise could be to drop the pause timeout during break time?

Tanza3D commented 5 years ago

Maybe if you pause more than 3 times in 20 seconds your score gets unranked?

The current implementation doesn't really stop pausing mid-song either. You could still map ESC to a footpedal or something and continue playing while the hold-to-pause is going on.

peppy commented 5 years ago

That's fine. The point is it discourages it more.

Tanza3D commented 5 years ago

@HoLLy-HaCKeR Good point, but most people dont have a footpedal,

i think i have a rock band drumset with one somewhere
