Some QoL for unstable connections

Hello,

I use starlink and more often than not I get some connection instability. It's hardly an issue even in HC because I can press [ESC] and there's little world movement after the connection gets back. However, for some reason, I can't pause while in pinnacle boss. I don't understand why you guys disable that. It doesn't make any sense to me because pausing really helps with unstable connections as well as taking care of the kids while playing. I'd like to ask you guys from GGG to enable pausing to work in every single situation.

In addition, it would be great to be able to come back to chaos trials either if your connection drops or you leave for some reason. I think chaos trials needs some sekhemas treatment in that regard.

thanks

Qol? In a ggg game? You have high hopes

I think the theory was that people might pause the game to bypass difficult parts of the most challenging bosses.

I have to agree though that after actually playing that this is a bigger loss for enjoyability than it is a safeguard against making difficult fights easier.

I think they should turn the debuff off and then actually see if any players or streamers are legitimately abusing it as a feature.

and THEN if they can't figure out a way to fix that abuse maybe bring the debuff back.

Starlink doesn’t seem to be very good with Poe. When elon was streaming, he seemed to have intense connectivity issues as well

I too play on Starlink. Majority of the time its fine with lag spikes occasionally but thats to be expected.

What residential package are you on? Do you have lag spikes throughout the day? Are you on wifi?
