the time is calculated between the player stats and the mob stats.
will look into it if I can update the formula a bit.
also remember that once unlocked u can freely move to that place easily with the world-map.
I need to consider all aspect of the game, u dont need to "walk" map by map, instead I require the player to "own" the map
more time a map require it means your level is not good enough to own the map yet. so the time is increased.
but as I wrote I can look again if I can change something.
It makes sense that the player has to conquer the areas to progress, i assume the player will have some stat checks eventually, and simply saying "go back and grind" isn't cool either, so the time you spend unlocking areas gives you enough progress to pass stat checks, that's cool, however, this time spent in combat is too long and unnecessary, the main aspect of the game is doing quests, interacting with npcs and exploring the world, but when you need 10+ minutes just to progress between interest points the mood gets killed pretty fast.
The time i spent on maps was consistently 2.5 minutes, i did all the quests in the early areas and leveled up accordingly with the games tips, it wasn't a challenge to kill mobs, all of them died within 1 or 3 hits, and still i had to spend a lot of time just waiting, not even being able to alt tab to do another activity while doing it, i'm sorry to say that but this system feels really bad.
