Title: Opening a forced encounter faster.
Post by: Floodnik on May 03, 2013, 03:08:54 pm

Just some small quality of life feature.
We've already got an ability to disband an encounter or accept it in some cases, higher outdoorsman buffs this ability. Accepting/disbanding opens/abandons the encounter instantly.
My suggestion applies to the other case, where we are forced into an encounter. We then have to wait a few seconds before it opens. What if there was a countdown and during this time we could instatly open the map without waiting? Seems like nothing but on a larger scale it could surely speed things up.

Could even work without the turn-based/real-time choice, since we have ~combatmode for that. Just "Accept" or something like that.

That totally defeats the purpose of "Forced Encounters". Otherwise they'd be called "Choice Encounters". Forget it, they will never change it.

Please, read my suggestion again, both of you. Maybe you should ignore the pic this time.

The map loading part is the important part.
How it works now: We get a forced encounter. We wait 3, 4 seconds and then the map loads.
How it works after my suggestion is implemented: We get a forced encounter. We also get a button: Accept. If we click the button, the map loads instantly. If we don't, it loads after 3, 4 seconds.

The turn-based/real-time choice is optional.

Are you being sarcastic?
The suggestion doesn't affect what you mean at all.

If you still don't understand the suggestion, because it seems so:
it just lets us skip the part where the red lightning flashes(see pic).

Hmm yes after rereading I've realised my mistake,welp sorry for that confusion.
But yeah I see your point,IMO the suggestion is still good,practical,chocolate,etc.

PS if this message appears twice
its due to my connection bugging out

The red flashing lightning is canon.
