The Long-Awaited Path Of Exile 3.26 Finally Adds A Pause Function!
The pause function of Path of Exile is what most players have been looking forward to for a long time. It will be officially released on June 13 with the important expansion pack Secrets of Atlas. It introduces a new end-game progression system, which is highly anticipated by players.
Path of Exile 3.26 retains the currency mechanism of Settlers of Kalguur and adds a pause function for the game. This update shows that Path of Exile has made another breakthrough.
As we all know, the pause function of Path of Exile is used in the game for the first time. Many players will definitely be curious why this function has only been integrated into the game by game developers now.
From an interview with POE game director Mark Roberts, we can see that the new pause function was also added because of the feedback received from many players.
And due to the previous version instance and architecture, the pause function cannot be used well, but using the pause function in the updated Secrets of Atlas can avoid this limitation.
However, the use of this pause system has both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages
On the one hand, it tries its best to ensure the fairness of the game and significantly improves the player's gaming experience. Due to the nature of Path of Exile game, the game has a strict penalty mechanism for character death, which causes some players to die in the game due to uncontrollable network problems such as frame drops and disconnections.
The emergence of the pause system is a good way to avoid this problem. When the player's network is stuck, he only needs to quickly press Esc key to pause the game, avoiding the permanent death of the game character. And when other players in the game use the pause function, it does not affect your game progress, which brings a better gaming experience to all players.
It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent players from being unable to control the game and pausing when there is high latency or disconnection, Path of Exile 3.26 also sets a fault protection mechanism.
When the player's network failure or short line is detected, this fault protection mechanism will help the player pause the game at the first time. For powerful players, this will greatly reduce the character's mortality rate.
In addition, some players said that the launch of the pause function allowed him to view ritual loot, check skills or character cards, or check passive skill trees during the game. It also gave him the opportunity to deal with emergencies in real life.
It can be concluded that the use of the pause function allows players to stay in the best condition to farm Path Of Exile Currency and control characters to successfully pass the level.
Disadvantages
On the other hand, the pause function of Path Of Exile 3.26 also has certain disadvantages.
For players, some sharp players pointed out that this function will lead to some unwelcome game behaviors. Players can manually pause the game multiple times to see the boss's next move and defeat the boss.
As for bosses, not all bosses are exempt from pause.
However, in order to prevent players from cheating with the system, the game developers disabled this function in the peak boss battle of Path Of Exile to maintain the fairness of the game.
In short, Path Of Exile 3.26 is still worth looking forward to. The pause function allows players to farm Path Of Exile Currency more conveniently and better control their game progress.
