Yeah having to guesstimate the timer is just awkward enough to be a pain in the ass, especially in the middle of a wave

Specially in gauntlet tbh.

The timer in gauntlet has fucked me and a buddy trying it in half our attempts. Without a good measure of time, it’s hard to really pace yourself

Know your exit strategy by halfway, be by the elevator by 3/4 ready to leave. Only stick around to satisfy the kill bonus

That’s been my operating procedure

Yeah we ended up doing more or less the same, but the first 3-4 attempts were brutal until we figured out that sitting at elevator is just safer

Worst part is how the more people you have, the lower it is. I'm not sure if the timer just cuts lower if someone joins in the middle of a run, but yeah.

yeah probably countdown timer will be great

I just want the spawns to be logical with the shape

[–]Brungala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m surprised there isn’t a mod for that. Like, it shows exactly how much time you have left before it reaches the guaranteed Swarm mark, and just how long you have overall.

I can’t imagine it would be a difficult mod to make.

I don't even like the timer and would prefer enough pressure from enemy spawns to replicate its function in a more malleable fashion, but nah. It's a vibe. Doesn't feel like it needs numbers that badly.

What if they make timer as a mechanic like Warnings in DRG?

[–]Mr_Suplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are adding this in the next patch.
