Annoying - why can't I wait

[sim-h]

Minor Spoilers follow if you really do know nothing about the game at all...

 

So...I've got a severely weakened party in the Stronghold after going one level too far in the Endless Paths early on (I'm talking, like, Endless Paths Level 2... ). I ordered the Brighthollow Restoration first but still have 17 hours until it completes.

 

I've used both of my camping supplies (I'm on Hard). My only option seems to be to travel back to Gilded Vale, which takes one day. Or 7 hours longer than it would take for my resting place to finish building.

 

DEVS - PLEASE add the 'wait' option!!

 

If there's anything else I can do, that I've missed or don't know about, someone do enlighten me for future playthrough reference!

Turn on fast mode and go make a sandwich?

You can always use the console to move time forward.

Good call.

You can always use the console to move time forward.

What's the command for that?

 

And either way... there should still be an in-game wait command, really.

The internet tells me the cheat code is

 

AdvanceTimeByHours

 

So

 

AdvanceTimeByHours 2 would advance time by two hours

 

You may need to do the iroll20s unlock, and it may affect achievements (if that's your thing).

 

Does seem weird there isn't a wait button (hadn't noticed there wasn't one but so far hadn't encountered a need either...)

Amentep posted the correct command. And yeah, agreed, there should be a Wait button/command.

Wait, so all you needed to do was travel to the Vale and back (an action which takes 30 seconds), and Brighthollow would have been completed...?

 

I suspect Wait wasn't included so people couldn't just spam wait and finish all the stronghold stuff. But it should have been added anyway, even if it isn't a big deal.

The wait thing does seem intentionally not there and likely due to cheesing the stronghold.

 

It's really not the end of the world if you have to travel and use up a camping supply for just one run while waiting for Brighthollow.

 

Let's see.  You have to travel a little tiny bit for a few seconds and maybe use ~80c for one camping supply for the return trip tiredness, or devs add a new feature for what is usually not going to be an issue.  Hmmm.

 

Brighthollow doesn't "cure" everything either, since you still won't have a vendor to resupply your camping supplies (yet) and may have to travel to vale just for that.
