To be fair, with relation to the difficulty, the puzzle you're speaking of is completely optional. It's supposed to be of a higher difficulty level than the rest of the level. You know you need to fall down that central pit (at least, you're supposed to have known that by this point...theoretically that's why you're searching around this area in the first place...to find a way to get into that pit), so it's not a stretch to expect you'd be checking to see if the button in the room is what allows you to do so.Delta66 wrote:In lvl 4, once I understood that the secret button in "Trails of Thought" raised the traps that lead to another button in the central room. The time it tooks to quickly reach that button and move back to safety, I haven't the time to turn around to notice that this second button turn off the portal for a short time. Note also that this puzzle require a rather long sequence of actions, much more than 5-6.
Personally I also vote for more leeway on timing puzzles. I could understand that some players might want extra hardcore difficult challenges, but here an option on timing issue, like the one for monster strength could be useful.
Regarding the timing, we're never going to know unless we see some video from various machines, but if the people above that posted with very fast machines are also having a legit timing problem that could indicate that there is significant timer issue that should be looked at by the devs (in their case, it would be the timer ramping up too fast beyond the screen updates...resulting in the same loss of "input time" as the slow machines, but on the other end of the spectrum).
Obviously, it shouldn't behave this way. The "heartbeat" should be consistent regardless of your computer speed (assuming you meet a certain minimum floor).
