Besides the whole online matchmaking issue, there's also the fact that mid combat pausing would allow for some ridiculous mid-fight gear swapping that probably breaks the flow of combat and is something they wanted to avoid.

Like, imagine if you could pause the moment you realized you weren't going to be able to dodge a boss attack and just equip the fattest armour that you have to mitigate damage, then as soon as you're hit, pause and swap back to a lighter gear set. Or switching weapons mid-swing after the hit connects as a form of animation canceling. Or firing multiple arrows at an enemy before the first one connects by bow swapping. Combat would be completely broken.
