u could have just posted a new message or something changing the words  
both the suggestions mean the same thing :- changing time for the quest

i feel that it shud stay as ppl (including pe) are completing it and as @Hudson.Dog59 says it is meant to be a challenge ( i didnt want to @ mention him )

Frankly speaking, i like the time limit. I am as good at parkour whether I’m on a phone or a pc. The thing that actually is difficult for pe players is trying to **hit** the objects. If it was as though if you walk through them, you collect them. The time limit is fine.

In the last two objects where there is actual parkour, _mobile_ players find it hard to change where they look (move) and hit something at the same time. I speak from experience.

Also lets try to keep things civil here.

For me I like doing everything fast and trying to get the “speedrun brain” so I did it in my 2nd try. The first try I was like maybe 0.23 seconds off

From which try you did your Sad Snowman quest. Because I am not gonna lie, I did it from the second try.

</div>

I did it second try because I failed the parkour before.  
But as I said it can be tricky for mobile players and don’t assume everyone is good at parkour/speedrunning  
There were only a few seconds left.

it would be hard for touch players though, even a couple attempts.

thanks! finally someone who understands me for just a casual touch player who may not have any experience speedrunning. usually people on this website knows and finds it LESS tricky because they’re over the place, the server, the suggestions page, and they probably know more and practiced more then others. thanks for your vote 😃

I play on mobile and I did it in four tries, @CommanderCreamy was on keyboard and he finished after me. I’m still pretty proud of that.

Omega did it and messed up and still finished it on mobile?

I mean for like kids this may be hard, but I would just recommend practicing to get it.

We have awhile till it goes away.

First of all Welcome to the forums! Hope you make an introduction about yourself in #off-topic:introduce-yourself!

Please note that this is an LTM and mostly will go away in less than month or something.

It is completely possible to do this on mobile. Double tap forward, and keep pressing jump. It’s not that hard 👍

Nvm you just deleted that post 👍

ok here is my improved reason why the time should be increased:

since i am playing on mobile, i need to literally run and punch the item at the same time which is kind of hard as i will sometimes i will tend to miss a few parts . Also, i have tried 28 times and i still failed to finish it. and then when i am about to obtain the last item, times up already. Also the problem is when on mobile sprinting, my fps will sometimes drop which will delay me, also i am really struggling with this quest since is the only one that i didnt manage to finish it despite many attempts, it will be great if they can change the time to be 45 seconds instead then that will really help me alot

Also, since the route is like so long like you have to start from the snowman and sprint all the way to the tree, and that will take about 40 to 50 seconds, and since for mobile players, is very hard as sprint jumping cant be done on mobile and sometimes we need to slow down just to punch the item to obtain it which will delay us and in the end, times up already

35 seconds is really not enough, we need like at least 45 seconds to complete it as i dont really speedrun as i dont have the experience

Its meant to be a challenge. Not meant to be a free costume that takes 2 seconds to get. Practice will make perfect-I completed it on a crappy phone that drops to 15fps sometimes. It isn’t hard to punch the air, use another finger.

How about this. Instead of increasing the time limit from the beginning. Players that fail to complete it in X (perhaps like 10) consecutive tries gets a 3-5 second “headstart” (or extra time)

But like honestly, the time was frustrating at first but, I eventually optimized it to 3 seconds to spare. Idk if it should be increased
