World ??? Lab N

During my (somewhat) recent run-through of Lab N, one of the people I was going through with was experiencing a less-than-stellar connection speed.

After getting through the multi-colored button rooms, we all stood on the 4-button thing to unlock the door to the next room (The 4-person game of flow, the one where jumping resets the board). Our laggy party member didn't make it through the door before it closed behind the rest of us, so we had to wait over an hour for a moderator to teleport him to us in the next room. Perhaps changing the door closing to keep the door open until either the next puzzle starts, or until there are no longer 4 players detected in the area?

 

Or maybe just a button on the other side to open the dolor.

 

If this were the case, you could carry groups of 10+ people through Lab N.

??? is meant to be a teamwork quest, if a door stays open until the next puzzle starts, this will lead to big groups of people being carried through the quests, which would negate the teamwork function that the quest tries to present.

 

You're not wrong, but this elaboration was kinda unnecessary. I was suggesting a way to keep the quest from seizing up, not open a loophole. Nevertheless, the only way to get to Lab N is through the meteor teleport, or by using the mysterious feather (which requires a previous visit to the lab, meaning completion of the quest steps to that point).

Did you perhaps have a better solution or alternative?

 

I can't think of any solution/ alternative that doesn't somehow find a way to abuse the system to carry players through lab N.

 

How about just extending the length of time the door stays open so that (hopefully) party members can notice someone isn't moving, and then have a few moments to run back to the previous room to open the door again?
