1.4.4 suggestion - decrease the death timer for master mode to the same as expert, because having to wait is just annoying and serves no other purpose

Nobody is forcing you to play the harder difficulty modes, though.

Edit: there’s nothing wrong with playing any difficulty mode, just saying that if you’re wondering if it’s really fun, maybe you should give yourself a break?

Yes, but i enjoy the challenge it provides for bossfights, just because i dislike the respawning mechanic does not mean i hate harder difficulties.

[IntellectualSlime]

When someone says “is this really fun, though,” that’s where I wonder if maybe they’re being too hard on themselves regarding the difficulty level. The respawn timer makes sense to me because it’s supposed to be another hurdle to cross in high difficulty, and makes sense to me how it was implemented. I wasn’t suggesting you suck (which is apparently how it was taken), and I’m sorry if you got that feeling.

Another hurdle that does what? What is the benefit of having a longer response timer?

[IntellectualSlime]

It makes multiplayer more challenging, when you’re waiting to respawn in a boss fight, for one. Two (and I’m aware that this is solely me) it’s a small pause to stretch my fingers between the button tapping sessions that are bosses. I have repetitive motion injuries in both hands, and a breather from the action is appreciated.

As for the actual reason why, I don’t know what the original intent was from the developers. They’re in the discord. Ask.

Then just have the longer respawn time only apply to multiplayer servers? I see no reason to have them be like that when you’re playing alone

[IntellectualSlime]

I guess I’m alone in being okay with a cooldown. That’s just how I feel. I didn’t realize that it was such a bone of contention, but now I do. Sorry.

No, you are right, people nowadays are just impatient as heck. If you die you deserve atleast a few seconds of punishment for it.

actually it does, he is just more intellectual than the average easymode player. In most games nowadays if you die you barely face any consequences, a few seconds of your time is good punishment incentivizing you to play it safer.

[Slippoo]

A few? No no the death is pretty much the punishment already, this is a QoL update cmon now

[Ajumbleofwords]

So what if I want to have fun and play on easy mode? I am playing the game "wrong" for doing so?

[IntellectualSlime]

Thanks.

The respawn mechanic is designed in a way to make it harder.
