    This might of been suggested before, but I would like to be able to pause when playing a "you VS A.I." game.

    Look a few threads down from you.

    It's been confirmed(As far as I know), it just isn't in the game yet.

    Cool! I usually play against AI since I'm still a n00b... and sometimes have long, 2 hour games, and need to pause occasionally.

    Yes. Also, I am sometimes like; I need about 10 minutes to think of a clever strategy in order to win...

    Just remember that you are playing on Uber's servers.

    When you're playing on there by yourself, that's one server that other backers cannot play on.

    Please be considerate of others.

    I'm pretty sure the servers can handle more than one game per server.

    Nobody should be limited on whether or not they can play, backer or no.

    If you have the game right now you paid for it. You have the right to play.

    I think human VS A.I. should be happening on a computer (this could be optional)

    When the game is released that will be the case. Right now, your computer cannot run the server (because you don't have it).

    Do a search before posting.

    This has been talked about before, is in the confirmed features list in the sticky post, and is even a few threads below you.

    This is also confirmed. When the game is released, an internet connection will not be required for AI play.

    Ok, I read the features list when it came out, about 4-5 months ago. I'm not surprised I forgot it was there.

    The word 'pause' isn't in the confirmed features list, how is this happening!?

    ...

    Silliness aside, I was pleasantly surprised at how rarely Dota 2's pause function was abused. It worked well, and even opposing teams usually respected someone needing to pause the game. I'd presume that LoL has something similar. That would suggest good things for having such a feature in PA, not just for AI battles, but for multiplayer as well.

    I think this the feature is so obvious that it doesn't really needs to be mentioned.

    EDIT: Sorry, I didn't notices you where joking.:oops:
