Comment by Bissowhat a HUGE let down. OF course they had to put this thing in. Instead of you know, putting those big cooldowns limited by 1 per floor or something like that. No, they had to put a timer.....Comment by NightHalo4Yes of course, bring back a universally disliked feature from Mythic dungeons, a timer. Great idea, this surely won't draw everyone away.

Also please stop defending all of this stuff with the argument of "It's just an Alpha/Beta, they'll remove it!" They won't if that's how you approach it. Call it out, let them know it's bad and shouldn't be added.Comment by mazejakerWhelp, so much for Torghast... Right to the crap heap.Comment by ForlornBlackbirdit won't be a speedrun as some people are saying, sure it's alpha, but the post does say that we will have safe zones at the beginning of each floor where nothing will happen, no soft timer, nothing, where you'll be able to afk etc.
And you can also just afk once you've cleared a floor, since the debuffs won't affect anything since nothing needs killing, you can just wait and take the portal when you're ready to go on.I wonder for how long people would actualy LOVE to play thorgast if there wouldnt be any mechanic like this.Comment by Ralph2449Not a bad idea but imo, they need to make the rest areas all around the level and while in those rest areas your Cooldown freeze so you can’t abuse itComment by HwenGuys, relax, 1% every minute is not gonna kill you if you play normally. This is just to prevent people from bloodlusting every pull, not to punish those taking their time. One floor is, what, 5 minutes? Maybe less? 6 floors is 30% until it resets? It's fine.

Plus, this is the alpha, going full "worst expansion ever" is a bit early, don't you think?Comment by Ralph2449I agree that this can ruin Torghast, what was fun for me was the difficulty of lvl 25, where things are deadly and you have to take your time to slowly pick off and kill targets.

People have been taking hours to clear those, these debuffs will make this impossible and it will be another rushfest RemovedComment by UnowhatGuys, relax, 1% every minute is not gonna kill you if you play normally.

The one saving grace with Torghast was it wasn't going to be timed, forcing you to go super fast and take huge pulls, letting you play the way you want to play. Now that's gone.

When they said they were going to add incentives not to wait on cooldowns for every pull, I can't imagine ANYONE anticipated a stacking debuff every 30 to 60 freaking seconds! C'mon.Comment by AzraelUltimaGuys, relax, 1% every minute is not gonna kill you if you play normally.

But pressuring people to finish the floor like this? I dunno if it's the right wat.Comment by highvoltage988I definitely think a soft timer is a good thing, prevent simply afking at each pack until lust and CDs are up, however I think a reward for hitting higher levels faster would be better than a ramping punishment as you spend time on a level. Shift to positive reinforcement instead of negative reinforcement.Comment by NexsaNo.. please no more timer stuff. By all means content that can be challenging, but I find timers too much.

The rush, rush, rush things needs to go.Comment by AzraelUltimaI definitely think a soft timer is a good thing, prevent simply afking at each pack until lust and CDs are up, however I think a reward for hitting higher levels faster would be better than a ramping punishment as you spend time on a level.

Bloody despise timed content...Comment by WillowwhispI don't want to be rushed. It's not even about the cooldowns. Wouldn't mind that, I HATE BEING RUSHED.Comment by PerrycoxI agree that this can ruin Torghast, what was fun for me was the difficulty of lvl 25, where things are deadly and you have to take your time to slowly pick off and kill targets.

People have been taking hours to clear those, these debuffs will make this impossible and it will be another rushfest where melee mongos will excelComment by Raist14Timers boo!
Hey if I want to take 12 hours to finish a floor let me do it if the good players want to finish it in 12 minutes that’s fine also.
