Yeah, not like we support the game or anything.
https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.

Huh. My mace dude is now an actual cultist of Chayula. That's kinda wild.

Because we expected content fit to aRPG, not SuperMario 2016 Kiwi Edition.


The traps are ridiculously easy and you can just run through anything but spikes while mashing pots, hell, you can even leap and teleport over many. Map layouts are very simple and not really that different from normal act maps. The location plaques make backtracking very simple as well.

Yeah, fuck having fun, everyons should just grind their rewardless daily chore maps!

I absolutely enjoy spending hours of my life running maps and getting nothing out of it except some alteration and alchemy orbs, only to get oneshot by some bullshit and lose EXP from the past 3-4 maps, so exciting! Fuck this labyrinth bullshit where you actually always get rewarded and trying to play properly is benefitial!

personaly i like that they added content that is not gated behind a gearcheck, and to be honest it gave me a good lought all those people that are mad becouse their lv 9x char with bis gear cant just run trhow traps (arent those the same claiming game was to easy?).

that being said there are a 2 things that are quite anoying.

first is the lack of saving. people lag, desinc, get some magic death, etc.. and having to start all over again becomes a pain in the ass, make it so one can save the progress with special Waypoints, at the end of the day when lab changes make those WP disapear.

second is make it so doing merciless lab will grant all 6 points from other dificultys so those who dont enjoy this can only do it once.


those 2 things should ease the pain, specialy of all those who dont enjoy playing this type of content.

For me, they even can double Izaro HP and damage, and made traps 3 times as deadly if they do this optional and just give ascendancy points for finishing acts.

You will be happy doing your super mario runs, and I will be able to farm maps peacefully. Right?

Anticipation slowly dissipates...

Was there some hidden change that made maps undoable unless you ascend?

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.OMG.At least put some checkpoints or something.
Playing this game for a very long time fanaticly(domination was my first leaugue),but this is the most boring and antifun content ever.If someone told me 2 years ago that i will need to manually dodge some traps and buzsaws(which can kill me instantly,even if i overleveled zone by 30 levels) in poe like in Super Mario,i would lol at him.
Challenges that include tons of labyrinth runs?LMAO.
If i would ever wanted to dodge some shitty traps,i would play fucking Tomb Raider,not grinding arpg.
EDIT:not to mention if you leave shithole,you must do it all over again,and that mehanic is in ONLINE game,also game with huge server problems.



Totally disagree. Labyrinth is one of the best content ever made by GGG. it's one of my favorite things to do in game right now. It's well made, the boss fight is neat, the fact the it also bring up some old challenge league mechanic. The traps and puzzle are fun too and it surely kill the repetition and boredomness by adding something that is completly different from the rest of the game.

For your information, my Chieftain finished this piece of crap and his feet will never be put again in this shit.

I outleveled lab by 20 levels and oneshotted Izaro though those all stupid mimics, portals, lieutenants and other today's specialties. Is this what GGG wants?

Profile set to private. People dont listen to you guys
Pretty much do the normal labyrinth when you are level 53 and the cruel one when you are level 75(with all the 5 links, life gear, etc) and your only problem will be the random crashing.
I love the concept of the labyrinth, adds something fresh to the game, and has kind of an epic feel to it.

The execution needs work, though. Being locked into hour-long runs and no recourse in the case of DCs is bad. A checkpoint system of some sort is necessary.

All the hardcore players play on hardcore anyway, so dying in the labyrinth for them requires them to start over anyway. Us softcore players play softcore because losing progress is not appealing to us. Checkpoints let us both have what we want.
