This also gives them another tuning knob to tweak by adjusting how quickly things get tougher.
I honestly wonder how many players complaining ever played a rogue like game as staying in one place too long tends to be fatal. I would argue this change is a less random way to be killed than a couple of powerful mobs spawning right on top of you.
People who donât like being forced to do all these on a basis of GOGOGO arenât going to start liking timers no matter how much you whine about them playing the game wrong.
Devs love GOGOGO. The whole game is built around it now.
Itâs not really a hard timer though, so Iâm not worried. Itâs just to keep people from sitting on their butts waiting for their big CDs to refresh.
These donât kick in until floor 10 at present. In the last interview with Morgan Day, he says he expects the regular portion of Torghast to be ~30 minutes, which lines up right around floors 10-12. So youâre looking at this not really kicking in until you get to people who are pushing Torghast just to push Torghast.
Have you actually looked at the buffs btw? The harshest ones are +1% phys dmg stacking every minute; unles youâre spending 30 or 40 minutes per floor, youâre not going to run into any problems. (And half the debuffs just spawn mobs that chase you every 30-45 seconds youâre not in combat).
So, the 30-minute expectation (around floor 10) is anticipated to be done once per week and is how youâll attain the resources to craft legendary items.
Theyâre looking to do an alternative, freeform challenge mode like Mage Tower with cosmetic rewards; these debuffs are obviously for that.
However, at the start of each floor, you now get a small safe area where you can change talents and prevents the soft timer from activating. In this area, you get a buff called, which lasts until you leave the safe area, loot something or enter combat. This allows you to AFK or take a break during a run
And then once you leave the safe area its âGOGOGOGOâ.
When people say we dont want timers, we dont just mean weâd like to be able to afk every 10 minutes to go to the bathroom with timers forced on us in between.
Not from what Morgan said in his interview with Preach. I really recommend watching it; it has lots of useful insight on Torghast, raids, dungeons, their philosophy, etc etc. I donât agree with everything, but most this concern about Torghast is just ignorance of the system.
