How do I... get out of here?

[cLick1338]

Long story short - I died.

Nonetheless, this situation doesn't really abide by any principle of game design or even just plain solid programming.

If you cause a cave in in real life you can create spots you can get in but not out. Cave ins are a function of game design and work flawlessly as in you always have a chance without support to cause one. And as for programming it can refill any tile with stone wall. Sorry but this happens in HnH. Have your buddy make a beacon and spawn on it.

I agree that that could happen in real life, but this game goes by simpler rules, I would expect that I can get in through an entrance and just as well be able to exit back if conditions remain the same.

I mean - how many would have expected this? Does anybody fully support that such a situation is acceptable and predictable to the average player? Would you wholeheartedly tout this as an "intended feature"?

Thanks - been here a while. I know bugs other such wackery is on the agenda, but I really had to vent.
And this sort of lenience is part of the problem, too.
I'll stop now.

[Jacobian123]

What lenience? A cave-in is a cave-in.

[cLick1338]

A one-way cave-in is not a cave-in.

[Jacobian123]

mm, true.

Could probably shoot this at the devs and see what they think.

[MagicManICT]

The "simple rule" is that any tile can be covered no matter where. Anything beyond that is adding exceptions. Logically, no you're not likely to cause a cave in that lets you get in but not out (unless you consider scree from the cave in preventing a climb back up to the entrance).

Forwarding this to the devs to get a comment, or at least so they're aware of an issue.

You can shift + right click on cave to peek inside before go inside. Not solution, but maybe stop you from get into these position again.
