Why not add a “pause” button to M+ runs.
- It stops the timer.
- Need to be out of combat.
- Leader is the only one that can pause.
- It locks people where they are.
- It locks all CDs at their current time.
- It allows the leader to type/talk about the next group/boss coming up.
- It allows for real life issues that pop up, especially in the longer dungeons.
Not sure if this would work. It just seemed like a good way to help new people learn the dungeons. Especially upcoming pulls that have specific kicks that are needed, or boss mechanics. Thanks.

I would never pug into someone else’s key again.

Can you pause arena?
The answer is no because the pressure and lack of planning between pulls is part of the experience.
Like it sounds reasonable on paper, but it’d ruin the essence of timed content

i had an incident where the key host would refuse to die after a wipe & we were held hostage for over an hour. pause feature would be heavily abused.

A “pause” button would be abused like crazy in pugs.
Also, pausing M+ directly contradicts the spirit of M+, which is to get the dungeon completed within a limited amount of time, and make all the necessary decisions within that time as well. If people can pause M+, you might as well remove the timer.

Pause button in an mmo, these posts are getting better and better

This can be explained during pulls as you approach the boss. Also, no matter how much you “tell” someone about an encounter, seeing it / experiencing it is the best way they’re going to learn.
You don’t need to choreograph every boss encounter in a dungeon.

Eh, if they ever did such a thing, it should require all 5 to agree to pause and agree to pause for a specific amount of time.
Initiate vote to pause, select time needed, if all 5 agree it pauses. Then when the timer ends it will unpause, so even if someone is afk still, the rest can proceed.
Absolutely not…i can only imagine the amount of abuse this would have.
it would not, and cause literal riots.
Seems like a good way to get people to quit the game on the spot.
Lower keys are effectively free. if you don’t know that you need to kick X by the time you hit 14’s and up, you shouldn’t be doing 14’s and up.
too many will abuse the power to waste peoples time.
this can be done BEFORE the dungeon or between packs.
if you need to leave, leave. I am not going to stand in stasis for 20 minutes because someone needed to take a bathroom break.
This isn’t even a good idea…lmao. Not sure if troll post or the OP REALLY didn’t think this through AT ALL.

Terrible idea that would be easily abused, so no
I gotta tell you, I admire your dedication. I think after around 5 minutes I’d have bailed. I value my time far too much to wait around for a troll to stop trolling.
there was no way to exit the instance because he did something to never drop combat and stood there without saying a word.
Can’t you leave party and release?
Wipe the group, leave the group, leave the instance. I’d check with the other three hostages to make sure they’re okay with a wipe.
Or, run back to the start and run out of the instance?
just some possible solutions
