Time Turner in Fortress to reset time

I play solo 90+% of the time, and I am only soloing 100% right now. One of the issue of being a solo player is the Fortresses. I'm currently made it to the Forest level 4 & 5 and at level 34 regardless of how many potions I use, time just runs out. I was thinking if somewhere there was the opportunity to add in a Time-Turner to be used for only one time per Tower level attempt... and then maybe not reset the time all the way back, but maybe add say 2-3 minutes so the challenge is still there. What do you think? Is this something that would help all the solo player out there progress in the Fortresses?

In principle, I’d love to see this. Great idea! @ZoGarth
I tried to solo Dark V with a L4 Runestone the other day, spent around 25 potions only to run out of time. Another minute would have made all the difference!
How difficult this would be to implement practically? I don’t know. There are much more intelligent and knowledgeable forum members here that could possibly help us with this?
Oh, and welcome to the forum!
To me, the time-restriction is the most important part of the challenge. It represents the incentive/motivation to try harder, to use more potions, to team up with other players and to invest more into my talents.
So overall I'm against the idea.
I see your point @Lucoire the higher levels should be a serious challenge. And please don’t take the following as my being obtuse or whining, I’m just stating my point of view.
I’m a maxed out professor who recently drove 300+ miles to try and meet up with other players as there’s no-one even remotely close to me that plays. I wish I could find others to team up with, believe me, I have tried!
I threw the kitchen sink at that challenge, potent exstimulos galore. I got my ‘behind’ served to me on a plate, big time.
Maybe a one-time potion like a time turner would balance things out for solo players? I hear about teams being able to batter Dark V L5 with ease. I can only dream about that as things currently stand.
I tend to agree with@Lucoire that the time limit is the whole challenge, so I wouldn't add anything that changes that balance.
Having said that, I must also admit that I am privileged to have a local group of players. With one of each profession at high enough levels, Dark 5 is no trouble. As a result, I've never bothered trying to solo a dark chamber. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I were in your shoes @Dewin99.
It’s all good @MtPollux The next time I see an Elite Fierce Dark Wizard, I’m running away!
I hear your point of view, @Dewin99. Soloing the dark levels is crazy tough. Even with just two people they’re very difficult. My wife and I backed out of a Dark IV battle recently because we realized there was no way for us to win and we’d be wasting a ton of potions, so we just gave up the runestone and whatever we’d already spent. In a group with at least one of each profession, it’s a different story.
So yes, I think it would be nice, especially for solo players, to be able to use the time turner concept. All the time? Not at all. Limit the frequency of use. Make a cost involved. Otherwise there’s no challenge at all.
I am a magizoo and have successfully solo’d dark 3. It took a ****ton of potions and spell energy but I did it and I think I was sweating through the whole thing. I am supporting you @Magpie31 with starring my own words!! Team spirit!!👊👊
I agree a tome Turner would be cool. I solo 100% of the time. To battle high levels I make sure my energy is over 1500, I use a level 1 or 2 runestone only, I use potent esmatildo potion with wit sharpening and then add the invigoration and health potions as needed. This helps.
I'm still voting for it still. A Time-Turner with a low drop rate that is gained randomly in Fortress battles from Chamber 4+. It could be a one time use (per battle) to give... say another minute or two with the hope that it will give the needed edge to complete a Chamber battle. 🕥️
