when the frick can you escape or not

SO why is exiting so BUGGY.

i know you can repel out, i know there are stairs that open up, i know there are portals.. Why the frick, cant i exit through the CLEARLY open STAIRWELL, i see other stairs that are VISIBLY OBSTRUCTED but the set i tried to go through had no exit animation or anything. I just sat in a pitch black doorway clearly leading out to something, but i wasnt able to extract.. so wtf

None of the exits are bugged (currently), the problem is that only goblin caves stairs makes it obvious when you can't use them. If the gates are open but the blue torches aren't lit, that means someone has beat you to that extract and you need to find a different one.

you can exit a dungeon? how do you do that?

The blue icons on your map are exits. They are on a timer, after the halfway point of the match they will randomly open. If the gate is still down on stairs then it will open if you are able to wait.

The exits were a bit unclear at the beginning for me as well. Maybe more loading screen tips about it?

Or maybe if different zones will have different exit types and ways of knowing if they are ready or have been used, could we have access to information on the zones and their unique properties in the lobby? Maybe some info on the mobs? It would help in creating your builds.

Escape Ropes: the rope is gone if someone has used it
Escape Stairs: marked with a Blue Staircase on the map, will be collapsed in Goblin Caves if someone has used it, on the other 2 Dungeons, the torches outside of it will be extinguished
Escape Portal: marked with a Blue Portal on the map, interact with the glowing blue stone pillar with the scroll on top of it.
Next Floor Staircase: marked with a Red Staircase on the map, randomly opens a few minutes before the first floor collapses.
Next Floor Portal: marked with a Red Portal on the map

why do I keep seeing questions like this from people with steam accounts older than 1 year?
some of you have almost 2 decades of gaming on steam alone...but you can't figure this out...

That's just not true. My brother and I were playing the other night and he walked straight up a set of cave stairs and out of the level successfully, I was right behind him and got stuck in the black emptyness of the doorway. I could walk back out but I couldn't get in. The animation didn't change, we were 2 seconds apart.

So while they may not be "bugged bugged", there's obviously a bug there.

It only accepts 1 person exit, it just doesn't have the cave in animation like the goblin caves. Less bugged, more not finished.

Bro it’s a game I have barely any hours in especially having not played extraction games before. There is no clear indication what stuff does or how things work. That’s why I ask my peers for tips, I mean I got that blue means EXIT. My question is why the game didint let me, now I know “the torch has to be lit” whereas other areas have a cave in on the door well. Subtle changes like this aren’t something I woulda figured right away for a “new” in dev game.

For non goblin caves, when the torches are lit blue on stairs- the exit is open, when they arent, its used. (If the gate is closed it will open eventually)

For gobo caves boulders will block it if its been used.

Most rope extracts go down around 3-5 mins, if they arent down then- they been used.

Boats-elevators go into the map periodically untill 1-2 mins left.

The elevator in ice caverns is 1 time use.

Portals are 1 time use and its clear when they been used.

Thx for the answers that helps.
@ Schmeckula: Well of course we went to that blue symbol on the map but there was nothing. And in most cases we dont even see a blue symbol, because everthing is full of mosnters an we cant even walk that far before dying.

19 years of gaming and you can't clear some mobs?

idk man this is my 1st extraction game and i figured it out, i'm not a particularly skilled gamer so i am not sure why others have so much difficulty
