4 hour timer for upgrading buildings to lvl 3?

[SOTFL]

to the devs, Why would you add this absurd timer, feels like a mobile game..
please remove it, it adds nothing to the game, just makes it tedious

It's there to stretch to short gameplay and keep you busy.

i mean. theres plenty to do. i have 23,4 hours and counting, still have not beat the gauntlet boss or upgraded the merchants as much as i can. i also keep finding new loot and enemies that i have not seen before and my character is still evolving, but i could do without the timers, they're just bad

It seems like an awful lot of design decisions in this game are disrespectful of players time. Durability punishments on death, something like 10 seconds to harvest a resource node, tiny inventory, 4 hour timers to upgrade buildings... it all adds up man. Can only hope the devs are willing to make significant changes during EA.

It is very strange mechanic for a single player game, but so is the way how character and realms are separated. Like you can take your already levelled character into a new realm and farm everything there.

My guess is there will eventually be a big multiplayer component to this.

I mean Palworld, ark has a 24 hour hatch time for an egg to simulate hatching time. This game is part survival game so its fine, as long as they dont ask real miney to speed it up.

People nowadays are very impatient,. I guess devs nowadays should realy add a baby mode to cater to a lot of people that wants everything handed to them. Because any mechanic that makes them wait or make them do something extra , they will complain.

So cause other games have dumb/tedious systems that means all should.

Logic has left to room if that's your argument.

It's their game mechanic vision to visualize time, I mean they could add more detail to this by visually seeing the building get built by the workers as you pass them by. Hopefully they can add this in the future.

In Palworld as in my example, it also simulates time and exitement to hatch them eggs and see the result. A lot of people are also impatient and removed those timers with a .ini command.

I guess people can just use cheat engines, or maybe devs can add a toggle to remove this feature, same with durability if they want to cater to such people.

If the point is to simulate time requirements of labour, why not just add a sleep or rest system,to pass time? Could also you use it to respawn resources and enemies. I mean am i crazy for thinking that was a painfully obvious solution?

You also conveniently forgot to mention that you can set it to be 1-5 min if you want in Palworld. And yes, it's so exciting to literally sit there and wait for 5 hours or whatever for a building to finish. I may as well watch paint dry in that case, lol.

does the timer only countdown when you're in game?

this games saving grace is early access so it can be a game people actually like to play without this bizarre punishment fetish some gamers are into lately.

Never bring that game up unless your point it to say your impressed that it works.

That game legit killed Bioware due to dumb fans having 0 standards.

Thank god no, it's real time timer even if you do not play.
Still a bad design though
