Labyrinth,the worst content ever made in POE?

Absolutely love both the concept and execution.
An area that rewards actual movement and provides a change for when I get bored by the rest of gameplay.
The disconnects and having to repeat it, not so much.
Though the former is clearly technical problems that I'm sure they'll fix rather sooner than later.
Would maps really be more fun if the realm crashed everytime you were in one? I reckon not really.

Now the balance, that might be problematic.
I haven't actually tried it on a difficulty where I could reasonably reach 10k hp.

I have 1.4 million DPS btw,...

as if that has anything to do with being good at the game.

löl (^-^)

For me personally this is the worst expansion so far, and it's mostly because I do not find fun in playing games like this where there are a lot of traps/platforming/simple puzzles and similar.

My opinion is that Labyrinth is the worst content ever made in POE.
When i think that i need to go through this shit 3 times with every char i make(and i play hc,so prolly many chars this leauge) it makes me cry...
And these traps,backtracking,like wtf?not to mention,when you dc,all over again.

You are right.

P.S. Today conception of labyrinth made for offline game....

Totally agree, lab content is way too alienating, doesnt fit PoE at all.

Dont also forget, people who build tanky also have no advantage (10k armour? traps dont give a shit, 10k HP? traps dont give a shit, and its so easy to missclick or miscalculate that its not even remotely fun), its 100% arcade in its principle and totally frustrating.

Ive said that before, if ascendancy classes where not gated behind labyrinth people would rarely run the damn thing. 99% of them would be no-lifers, hardcore-24/7 farmers and bots. Out of pure curiosity and hype people would try it but not for a long time.

That's not true at all. Your regen helps against traps. Your dodge, block, aand armour applies to some trap types.

No Sid, it doesn't irks me, what irks me is that in games I hate:

- arcade,
- platforms,
- traps,
- puzzles,
- prolongated levels with no possibility to save progress,
- prolongated boss fights when you seem to barely not doing anything to boss.

Labyrinth is all of those plus usual GGG bullshits and bugs.

And I play PoE because I like aPRGs. This content doesn't belong to aRPGs I want to play. I'm glad that you like it, but if GGG want to code platform games now, let issue new game and don't include that shit in PoE.

And it's not optional like Atizi is optional and I was always skipping Atziri because I also hate this addition. But I need to pass Labyrinth, the apotheosis of what I dislike from games, just to get my Ascendancy class. And what is a point in playing Ascendancy expansion wothout Ascendancy class?

I give them 2 weeks to sort this shit out. If not, taking break till 2.3. First time since 2012...

There are those of us who like it, not everyone hates it.

Perhaps there is,but 99% of ppl who i talked to about this think that labyrinth is bad design,all veteran players.

This time every single one of the players I used to talk with quitted poe after a few hours lab. I quitted too and I don't think that I will return until some serious changes that will most likely never happen.

there is nothing to be 'sorted out'. you are imagining things - the puzzles (big word) are all optional. the platform game.. jeez.. i've posted a lab run in the Feedback forum, 10 minutes of it. call it a puzzle game or platform or whatever but you are SO FAR OFF that it is not even funny..

Lab speed runs are a f.. blast - if you know what you are doing. i can understand people hating it when they minglessly wander for hours on end with no clue - but it is a 10 min adrenaline packed fun. what is there to be sorted out? maybe you should just adapt..

Add me to the list of "haters"

Unless this thing is massively changed...
- At least checkpoints - You entered a new area, that where your next attempt should start. Not restarting the entire thing again
- Traps are sh*t. TRAPS ARE SH*T. I'm ok with locking you in place, but removing all your life in 2 seconds when you can't Alt-F4 (because you lose all progress) or do ANYTHING about it is just plain horrible. Mistakes should hurt, but you should at least have a CHANCE. Right now there is no chance, one little mistake and BAM, new character. Srsly... ?
- Labyrinth... omg, really ? Wasn't imperial gardens enough twisted ? Now an entire act in which you have no clue where you're going ? And backtrack again through all those traps. At least give us an option to f*kin switch them off once passed through !

---
Conclusion: Time to play another game or simply do other things with my life until this thing is resolved.
Just not having fun anymore in PoE.

p.s. - Please note: Closed beta supporter, I was around since ever, seen all the evolution of the game from it's humble beginnings. Agree with OP: Worst content ever.

I have enjoyed labyrinth so far in the new league
