The game rocks but the Instance reset time irritates me

i agree with this.
reset times and waypoints are just stupid.

I totally agree... clearing a lvl 3 map like lunaris temple 3 just to die and see the previous map has been reloaded just kills time and doesn't do anything but annoy the player.

time to start using portal scrolls more often

Easy to say, I usually don't find a lot to begin with :)

I agree.
Reset timers really suck... please at least expand the reset time. 8 Minutes is a joke.

At the very least keep a path from town/nearest waypoint to the map your character is currently on. Its so frustrating to have to clear the same map 3-4 times during a boss attempt.

It really is a glaring issue. Please lose the timers.

Super agree with OP, I feel like I can't stop playing for anything or I'll lose all my progress. I understand that you can't have pause in group play, but having a pause for single player instances would make thelis game 100% more playable. As much as I'd like to, I can't ignore my girlfriend and surroundings while I play hours at a time.
D3 has a single player pause, theres no reason this game cant either.

There is plenty of reason.

Storing every instance requires server time and space, do you know how expensive their servers are? Neither

But we already have people bitching like you about the server instability, imagine if we made the servers only half as efficient because we doubled the instance timer, then we would have twice the crashes!

Its there for infrastructure reasons, it will stay there for infrastructure reasons, deal with it, its not a proble, you lose 0 progress unless you decide to stop mid game, and plenty of other online games are the same

Beyond infrastructure reasons, those timer make deaths more impactful, then you have to hurry up to get back to where you were ( I don't see anywhere where it's not easy once you know the game enough, 8 minutes is plenty of time when you have quicksilver flasks/moving abilities ).

It makes you being more careful not to face that situation if you don't think you can come back easily.

And if there is an IRL problem, then just get the habbit to afk inside your instance in a safe spot ( for example after vaal's death, there is noone to attack you there ).

I personnaly like the way it is atm, I really think that those timers are ideal at the moment, not too short, and not too long.

Wow, we've got a thread necromancer here. How did you even find this thing?
