PoTD (and HoH) are not just for weapon capped speed demons

[Tempest222]

I haven’t done a whole ton of POTD, but I luckily haven’t had any horrible issues in the runs I have done. I have noticed people temd to be really in a rush though and a few times I just had to go along with the group to tho the next floor leaving part of the map unexplored and potentially leaving a weapon/armor upgrade chest behind. I haven’t had any group refuse to go into a skipable area that had already been revealed to contain a silver chest at least.

I don’t really understand being in that much of a rush that you can’t be bothered to spend an extra 30 seconds helping a non capped person grab a chest. I’ve seen people say thru can’t be bothered to spend an extra couple of minutes here and there because the time adds up and if they had to spend that extra time every day for say a week then they’ll have wasted an extra 15 minutes of their life. And to that sort of attitude I scratch my head and say really? Who optimizes their time that frugally in their day to day lives that they literally try to shave seconds of any activity they can to “save time”, especially in a game. Plus everyone has to start at square one and those people who are in such a rush that they will kick someone over 30 seconds getting a chest were at some point in the same position trying to grab all the chests and relying on the kindness of strangers. I just honestly don’t get people.

It is what it is though and it seems many groups just like to plow through content and through anyone that might make their run seconds longer, so unfortunately it’s best to just grab the chests when you can and let some rooms go unexplored if the group seems like they all want to move to the next floor right away.
