In Response To: NO more loops! (ukimalefu)

: I stopped playing eternal when I got trapped in a loop for the 3rd or 4th
: time. Fail and succes story branches are ok, but I hated the "keep
: trying until you do it right thing". Any plans to change that?

There's something I don't get about this - only G3 is timed. All the other levels, success or failure is just a matter of doing the right thing or finding the right exit. You *know*, immediately, whether or not you've taken the right turn or the wrong turn in all of these levels. So how is it that people can manage to get stuck in a loop over and over again? If you go through the loop once and get sent back, *don't do the same thing again*. Try something different. Keep looking until you find a different exit - don't just go "oh I hope this time doing the same thing will make something different happen".

The one slight exception to this, I suppose, is Dread Not, where the exit terminals are identical. But still, just going back to it and doing the same thing without doing anything differently... it just doesn't make sense to me how someone can get stuck like this.

The other weirdness I see is people who for some reason think the exit is on the failure dream level, not the level you are sent back to. I don't even see where that confusion comes from.
