No Saving? that sux!

i love being able to see when people joined these forums, its like a troll/noob filter, and it's almost fail proof

Games don't typically last for hours.  Usually only 30-60 minutes.  Also, there are TONS of features that would be much more beneficial to the community over saving.  Pretty sure that would be at the bottom of my list.

Agreed.  Bottom of the list.  I think the longest game I've ever had was about 1 hour and 15 minutes and the shortest about 18 min. 

Agreed, no saving, it's an online RPG/RTS battle arena, why would you want to save.
"sorry guys i can't finish the game, lets save and finish off later..."

Yea games only last ~30minutes, the longest games I had so far were ~50minutes.

I don't think this game needs a save function.

most of my games last ~15 minutes

8 minutes min/75 minutes max.

i don't see how a save option would make any sense,

how are you supposed to get the same players back together for a match that is already halfway trough.

If it was a close match you probably shouldn't have interrupted it in the first place

....and single player tournaments games even last shorter than any equal online games in comparison. So, a 4vs4 in SP tournament mode lasts maximal about 30 minutes. So why save ? 

You know what really 'sux' is when people use the word 'sux'.

You know, I think this is the first time anyone, and that includes the beta phase, has said the game needs a "save game" feature.

I thought in the beginning such a feature would be handy, but now I know how long games will last and just don't start a game unless I have 45ish minutes to spare, and if I need a food/coffie/pee break I just hit F10 and it'll pauze the game.

If by "Save game feature" you mean the ability to somehow save the game from being horrible after people leave, then sure, I'm all for it.

I just noticed that you CAN pause the game when in single player now. Did that get added recently? While playing I went to options to change th sound and it was like "Paused". My jaw dropped because I would hit the "pause" button on my keyboard before and nothign would happen. ... maybe it's just the pause button that doesn't work at all... dunno why it shouldn't work for single player.

Pause has been in since early betas. It even used to have its own dedicated hotkey (Pause) that didn't require you to open the menu.. but for some inexplicable reason they took it out and now you have to pause through the menu.

/shrug that doesn't bother me much. I do however wish that games would somehow be a bit more consistent with those things. F5 for quicksave and F9 for quickload seem sort of standard but some games just ignorantly change it, which doesn't make it easier for us.

For now, just hit F10 (opens menu) if you want to pause.

PAUSE is in the game! Even for multiplayer. It just needs to be enabled in the Game Functions when you create the game.

Probably not for skirmish or Pantheon though. But you got bigger problems if you're playing on those modes.

I don't think this game needs a save function, lol!
