Why would the Ascension Quest game required a player wait 2400 hours to move on? confused

It may or may not require that; you need to look closer at what you see on the screen.

Been staring at that darn screen for a while now only thing I get is to turn back but I've done that twice only to be taken back to same challenge maybe I'll take a really long winter nap and see what spring brings.

Try turning back and then exploring any other options - you are clearly at a dead end, so there must be some other way out. Maybe you need to backtrack several steps?

Quoted from the game FAQ:

Quote:
What's with those 'go back' links?

The "Go back" links are meant as a way to leave a place whose challenge you currently cannot or do not want to complete, often to try an alternate path (which may be better or worse). Their effect can be anything from restarting a complete fight to actually advancing you past an obstacle that is meant not to be overcome, so pay close attention to any text in those links and the way you got to the point you are now at before using one.

I believe editors also replied to this when you posted it in the chatboards. Much of the text of the game foreshadowed the path you were taking.

blaster, are you thinking it's 2400 hours? It's actually 24 hours - a roadblock. There are several of them along the way of varying durations and we've all had to endure the waits but it's fine. You'll get through it.

I believe blaster is referring to a particular screen that offers the option to wait 100 days to clear a particular obstacle...hence 2400 hours (it does sound painfully long written that way..I am just glad it wasn't converted to seconds!)

Oh, I guess I missed that one completely. Sorry if I've confused things.

Note it's 100 days to try to clear that obstacle. No guarantees it will succeed... magical undergrowths are very resilient!

Well kyleisalive Yes I did post same question in chatboards but was told this question was asked and answer before so my post was never put up so that I'm aware of so I never saw the answer.

You'll notice that nobody is really giving you an answer here, and that's because a big part of the game is figuring out what to do, and how to do it.
