I am really unhappy with the addition of the timer in Torghast, timed content is stressfull, anti social and annoying. I hate games where your trying to get a “highscore” on som earbitrary scoring system.
Timers ruined dungeons for me (m+) and now the’ve ruined Torghast for me too
Thank you for sharing you view on the Torghast changes.
Personally, I really enjoy the changes to Torghast…including the timers.
As a whole, the changes created the need to strategically plan your run and created goals. This is much better than the mindless slog that it was before.
The timer can be ignored. If you’re not willing to get bonus objectives instead of gogogo, I don’t know what to tell you. Blizz gave options (go fast or go steady and get bonuses) and you are only looking at “go fast” and saying it’s ruined without mentioning the other option they gave you.
You can play Torghast the same way you did before with zero changes and won’t be penalized. Hell, you can take breaks (as long as you’re not taking like… an hour or more per floor) and you’ll be 100% fine.
What really penalizes you is deaths, which has always been the case with Torghast.
For a lot of people, I think the existence of a timer compels a sense of urgency. Once that happens, the enjoyment that comes from a leisurely pace tends to evaporate.
