If I may ask, is there a general rule of thumb for this? Ex: block hp should be no higher than X to reach a container, otherwise we should log a bug for it?

I don't know if you guys build against some kind of POI guidelines, or if it's just up to the POI designer (meaning you would need to consult with them every time if something might be a bug?)

this issue usually is a result from block changes and slipped in under their radar.. that is why we are all testing and reporting like this.

 

as for rule, the difficulty is based on what tier it is... obviously. some puzzles/paths require decisions to be made (take the easy way and miss something maybe that was hidden or run off the path to get that bone in trash) or it could be handful of ammo or food.

 

when i smack into any thing with high hp.. i simply walk away for easier stuff.

 

but yes to we make the tickets and or contact them via discord to see if that was purposely done or an oversight. we always check because the designers may have a reason for doing something and thats why we ask them.

 

keep on truckin

 

A general rule of thumb we use is reward vs effort.  For example, lower tier hidden loot is usually hidden behind easily breakable blocks, while higher tier loot such as hidden stash crates will require more effort to get to (e.g. longer path, higher HP obstacles, etc.)
