Feature request: Auto-pause when idle

[kujeger]

Basically what it says on the tin -- I'd love to be able to set the game to automatically pause when one of my characters is is

dle, as that is never a good thing.

I use 'pause on ability end' and 'pause on enemy killed', which becomes roughly 'pause on idle', although I'm sure there's some edgecase exception.

I asked for this back in PoE1 and I would still like it now. PoE's iteration of RTwP already looks a lot like an ATB system, and this would allow it to basically function as such.

 

Really, the only reason I can think of not to have it is that the game might have a hard time detecting idleness. Which might be the case, mind - I'd love to hear a dev/modder/etc answer if it is.

Off the top of my head, it would help a lot with in-combat movement, effects that remove your character's target, the expiration of conditions that prevent your characters from taking actions. It would also, hopefully, solve the somewhat awkward timing of the "pause on ability end" option.

I think the game already kind of tracks this, as idle characters get the [...] icon above them.

I would like to have an auto pause when critically hit, at the moment there's only on hit.
