So I keep dying. At first it was my fault because I was not paying attention to my health because I'm from the old days and I never got into the maze. These last two deaths I was mashing the leave button and I still die. I attempt to leave when I hit 1k life. Is there a delay I'm not aware of? Maybe I just suck. It's certainly possible.

Also can someone tell me if the map I spawned during yesterday's event (i.e. no trapdoors) still has that effect? Perhaps a better way to say it would be does the maze spawn with all chest/trapdoors etc or are they at random as you explore?

I ask because I have a map I'm about 60% done with and I'd like to finish it but I can MQ so I don't know if I want to spend the time to complete the maze or not. If there is the chance I drop I do not want to spend my time.

Thank you.

There’s a slight delay for you to stop attacking and then exiting catacombs via the door.
It’s also a possibility you had a stunning mob that was allowing you not to perform clicks or actions.

If the catacombs you spawned yesterday is still up, I would think that still should be observing no trapdoors? Unless each new square is randomly generated. I wouldn’t know I guess as I’ve never sat on a map through event reset. Someone else will have to answer this one!

If you’re already at MQ and the map is large with about 40% left, it will be a little slow to complete due to mob difficulty, but it can be do-able if you’re lucky. Your time would be better used on just MQing and starting over in my experience.

I'd edit this but I guess they reduced the edit timer here.

Thanks very much for that. I was really hoping to get a well but it didn't happen. It became too tedious as you pointed out. I'll just do it again on the next climb. I will say that it would appear the map is spawned and remains as it was as I did about 80% of the overall map and while I was teleported several times no trap doors.

At level50+ the maps is so mich big with the traps door its really hard to complete and i was like you but i learned to give up go mq and start some easy maps again..+ its not because you are on 50maps+ you will find interesting maps acroll..i found good one on low level too

It's not really that there is any delay to it, it's just a part of how the auto-attack mechanic works you can disable it in the settings and that will allow you to leave cata instantly if it is causing too many deaths. The way that it works is that your first click on the door basically just cancels the auto-attack feature. It then needs to complete any attack it started before you are able to leave the catacombs, so any click you do while it's performing the last attack won't do anything. It's all pretty straight forward once you get used to the timing of it, you generally want to start mashing the door 1-2 seconds before you need to be out of there to avoid any deaths from it.

Casting and Single handed weapons have a 1 sec delay.
Two Handed weapons (heavy) have a 1.8 sec delay.

You are correct that the click on the door acts as an Action (either 1 sec or 1.8 sec) timer, but you can easily change this by Healing yourself and then click the door, or use a healing action (auto attack) to safely leave the catacomb by clicking the door one or two times.

Using a healing action will help you survive instead of panic clicking the door.

That healing tip was helpful thank you.

I decided I should read the update list, wow some stuff changed... There WAS a hidden exp penalty!!! I knew it. People said I was crazy!

I was also unaware that you could be paralyzed which makes complete sense because I did notice sometimes I wouldn't attack and I understand why now. I have yet to figure out the mob graphics that appear but I assume it matters very little. I'm not going to stop swinging my sword in any event...

Thanks again to all that replied here. You have been helpful and I appreciate it.

Hell yes it does! Thank you so much! And thanks to whomever made that (if not you)
