Leaving the game in the Shroud = free teleport? (bug?)

[Snowy Joe]

First off... this game NEEDs a pause option for Singleplayer. PLEASE!
Second, you can't fast travel back to your base, but if you just exit your game while in the Shroud when you log back in you're back at your base with all your stuff.
Is this intended or is it a bug?

[SaberToothDeathMouse]

I don't think it's intended... but not a "bug" either, LOL! I think the Devs just didn't even think that we WOULD do that. I'm guilty of it; I'll admit it. When that timer runs down to only a few seconds left, and it's taken me an hour just to get to where I am.... yep, I log. It's "cheating" and I would imagine at some point the Devs will probably address it (maybe?)... but for now, I'll do it when I have to. I usually do everything in my power to make sure I use the Elixir BEFORE entering the Shroud for the extra two minutes, and I'm up to about 9 minutes before I die in it (with the elixir), so I try very hard not to surpass that.

first point of order, YES please add a proper pause option for single player.
several times i've gone AFK in my town (in menu) to go grab a drink or whatever and returned to being dead lol and i didn't wanna close the game to main menu because it resets the chunks in the world.

as for the shroud thing, its more of an exploit than a bug, but tbh if that is how people want to play then let them rather than nerf it.
I personally would rather die but i'm a stubborn SOB lmao

I'm sure the devs realized this could be used and just wanted people to play the way they want; if you want to escape the shroud by cheesing it - who cares? If it makes the game better for you, then do it.

In Valheim you can't teleport with metal ore back to your base. But you can log into another world, drop the ore in chests, go back to your main world's base (tele), then logout and in again to grab the ore and be back at your main world base with it. Cheese tactic, but after lugging ore back to your base normally 20+ times, it is a nice 'feature'. So is what you describe.

[shadowzero]

there are alot of mechanics you can exploit already cropping up which make this easy game even easier. lots of things need to be rethought because they are game breaking and emmersion breaking.

I agree we need pause in SP... I only logged out once while in the shroud, only cos i was lost and my shroud time was running out. It felt pretty cheasy

A pause would be great, and I hope they find a way to do it in SP at some point. But I have to ask... how the heck are you getting killed at your base?? No mobs come anywhere near my base - but even if they did, just jump on the roof while you're AFK? I'm surprised you hadn't thought to maybe... oh I don't know, go inside and shut the door after being killed "several times in your town". You can also do "this" pretty much anywhere in the map.... if you have to go AFK, just jump up on something nearby where mobs can't reach you. I do it all the time and have **never, not once** ever died while AFK.

i'm so glad they let you do this because I hate the shroud. It's all annoyance and no fun as far as i'm concerned.
Cool game, annoying mechanic

[Lightning]

yeah i didn't even realize it before i used to die in the shroud when i got low didn't notice you can leave the game and start at the last flame oddly lol

[Milim Argento]

I think its kinda annoying sometimes, when I want to take a break from the game and login again i have to walk all the way back again were I logged out

Or.... wait for it....

build a flame altar.

Now... that requires a ton of resources. A whopping FIVE whole units of stone.

Place the flame altar down. Even if you appear back at your base, you can teleport directly to this new altar. You can then extinguish the flame of that altar, if you want the altar slot back. I carry a pre-built flame altar, a pre-built workbench, and a stack of stone all the time now.

The only thing you can't easily exploit in this game is material farming.

[xitooner]

Will always want a pause button; its just a very simple/nice QOL thing.

That being said... seems to me that one immutable rule in the game is that you always start off a session (ie start/restart) at a flame altar; the last one you had visted. That is true all the time, even if you had been in the shroud. If you had died you could have had a cache to go pickup/retrieve.....but you didnt.

....Ergo, this is intended behavior by the devs, not a bug. Do it all you want.

If you want a pause then vote for it on dev suggestions page here https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/suggestions/524595/pause-game-single-player-multiplayer

Why are so many Here passive aggressive xD.

I would Like a Pause Button. I realised the hard way, that going into settings to Change Things, does indeed NOT Pause the Game. Which is nuts.

I dislike the Shroud. Poor visibility is an automatic no for me. And the timer makes it a hard no. Thankfully there is already a mod to disable the Shroud Timer, and yes, once it gets dark and I have no idea where the exit is, I log. I have less than zero interest running around when I can't see anything. The important thing is I enjoy the game I paid for. And I do, except for the Shroud. Whatever I need to do to minimize the drag is what I will do, and as soon as I can mod the Shroud to my liking, (1/10 the fog, easy exit, and no timer) maybe I'll like it. Great concept, but it needs a TON of work.
