thats straight queer that you have to wait the cool down period to run away...
and no the door works but why should people have to wait to run away!
It's in the game mechanics, you can't do ANYTHING (attack, trash items, click the door, use comfrey, even switch weapons I believe) UNTIL the timer has been reached. It's only 1 second on normal weapons, 2 on heavy, and if you are casting I am not exactly sure what the "reduced rate" for AOE hits is, but it's probably similar to hitting with a heavy.
In short, PRACTICE it more and you will get used to knowing exactly when the door will work and wont work. I have only had it happen to me once, but it was directly after I had attacked so of course I had to wait ~1sec then it worked fine.
Yes, it's annoying, BUT I think the game would be far too easy if you could insta-return to town before death. I am very glad paul made this game HARDER... sorry, but I am, it was TOO EASY!
(still is pretty damn easy if you use scales, havn't even come close to death yet)
