they needed to give PR a week to write them an answer
If 5 seconds is a permanent thing, at least update the visual so it takes 5 seconds. Right now the character waves hands for about 2.5 seconds and then stands there for 2.5 seconds without moving. Looks weird.
there is not a single answer that they can give that will come out positive.
To make you play longer and increase time played metrics obviously.
They already did answer that on the last campfire. After a lot of bs and incoherent wording, Joe S said they increased it because they added the reset dungeon button. They say they are not slowing down the game, but that is exactly what they are doing. There is no reason what so ever to increase the leave dungeon timer.To top it off, its faster to tp to town, reset and tp back to dungeon
I feel kind of bad for PezRadar in all this. He's so good on camera and has a great, personable energy, but in the last stream he was just sitting there for most of it looking pained while the Joes squirmed and rambled. They had their community face man out there basically babysitting the directors and doing what he could to smooth out the situation and bail them out if they went too far off the rails.At one point around 1:30:30 Joe Shely was just staring off into space and said "uh, it's something we do care about, uh.....that sounded dismissive...uh..." and the other Joe bails him out by saying "well we care about a lot of things", and the whole time PezRadar is just looking over like "bruh".
They needed 1 week to think. kek
It is weird to me considerin teleporting to town is still fast...
At least fix the animation for "leave dungeon"
Maybe it’s because I can’t play 10 hours a day (still level 37) but, given I’m curious about the reason behind anyways, the 3 to 5 seconds port thingie does not seem THAT issue to me compared to other annoyances.
It's simple.By adding an artificial delay, they make the 'loading screen' where they advertise your MTX and group members MTX seem not as long.It's a common tactic used in many games with predatory monetization. I was hired to add this feature to at least 3 different games I've worked on.There shouldn't even be a loading screen. In Diablo 3 there is no loading screen from dungeon or rifts to Town.
There is no need to address anything, just revert it.
There has been a tab in a game for teleport skins. It was made to sell skins. Nobody cares about +2 seconds player game time and other tin foil hat theories
in my first few nughtmare dungeons i forgot to upgrade a glyph and was already porting out. i can only imagine that this change gives you another 2 seconds to realize that so you can cancel.
