Portal 2 Container ride skip survey

I think it's OK to use the above post as an official voting survey. Please share with any portal 2 runners you can: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5KWRS56

We should allow at least 1 Week for people to respond, not everyone is online all the time and I don't want anyone to feel their voice isn't heard.

I realize the boxes are kind of small so feel free to write your responses somewhere else and copy paste them into the survey before submitting.

Thanks

Hmm actually noticed the wording on the question is kind of wrong, we are proposing to skip the container ride, not the vault. Maybe it should specify where the save is proposed to be: right before the container opens up and the crosshairs reappear.

Wait, don't your actions in the container have an effect on progression? It's not just a cutscene, right? But a level zero, so to speak.

You are correct - It is not just a cutscene, you do have actions to progress

are seriously advocating use of cheats during a run?

Yeah, that's crazy. There's no way that that could be considered a valid run.

which isn't 2/3s majority anyway... but more than half, so it's significant. Can you make the survey results public at the end of the week? We all need to review the comments and who is a runner and all that before we can make the decision.

it doesn't matter that portal can theoretically lose time, the difference is that portal 1 does not require any input until after the save point, where portal 2 does require input

New Jersey, USA

well, voting will still be open even after results are shown, right?
