Coliseum Timer not Pause

So what is the logic of the Coliseum Timer not Pause when player pause the game.

Players gain no in game advantage in pausing the game.

However what is does do it making an already grindy game mode experience even more so, cause players have to commit to 7 mins window at a time. Which is actually a lot for a mobile game.

So a player can do well in their run, get a phone call, door bell ring and run over, have to restart.

Coliseum have to potential to be a good addition to MCoC that are just plague with lots of little illogical design decision.

Baffling 🤷‍♂️

That is how timed content works.

While I agreed with you that is how MCoC timer have been worked, however all of those previous circumstances are involved other players, Incursion, AQ, AW, BG, ect. Where pause would have a massive impact to the results and other involved.

However you would agreed that does not apply here in Coliseum. So it should have be considered, review and implement better when design the content. Or are we assuming the coding Timer in MCoC is so complicated that is not possible 🤣.

These small and significant details make a massive to the game mode and the players experience and should never have been overlooked.

It is also something that can be amended in future Coliseum iteration.

Incursions does not involve any other players and this is a form of AQ that absolutely does involve other players. There are ranked rewards for alliances and there will soon be a solo version of the game mode. A timer makes as much sense here as anywhere else in the game.

Incursion started as 2 players mode only,AQ shared the same map, where one players can block another player paths if stay paused.

However Coliseum is an individual fight PvE, yes a timer is need, but letting players Pause should be the logical process.

If you disagreed with this please do your perspective further cause right now I can't see your logic.
