SET FREE THE ASCENDANCY POINTS (or rework the lab) [New ascension methods/lab rework ideas]

Damn, Regulator took it to PMs...

You lab-dislikers really hitched your wagon to the wrong star here.

GGG should add a trap setup in that Dread Thicket with a random spawn large chest at the end. Then it will at least see some visitors again. Nobody spanks those monkeys anymore :(

...except me occasionally. I'm hoping Chris will notice and give me a large chest spawn out of pity :)

You didn't get one? Afer seeing Scroties latest response I assumed we all got one. lol
Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.
It seems it was a mistake indeed, Scrotie took the very personal way, disregarding out of pure spite anything that made sense and chose to respond once again vaguely when he was once again outsmarted.

Not responding to any of the other drivel
is his way of admiting he cant really say/rebutal anything cause he is blindfolded and what i said before was actually how things are. I didnt want ofcourse to derail the thread and thats why i pmed him, he chose the arrogant and ignorant path, that lead to his latest commend that unknowingly just supports exactly what we are saying. Lab is indeed so badly designed that besides the AC the average player does not want anything to do with it. And his theory of rewarding behaviors etc, is another proof why the lab sucks at its current state, even after so many extra goodies implemented for the runners there are still not enough people running it. And thus as was told in another thread directly comparable to pvp, numberwise. He ofcourse didnt have even the decency or smarts to at least give an answer to what i told him, instead he chose this, whatever people see it to be.

Aahahahahha, you dont believe i would actually fall so low to pm a dickhole? or his master goetjzam or anyone else lacking the basics in their group. I ofcourse reach out to people who seem to have a better grasp of the whole issue than those mentioned, and a better and functual brain, its only natural that i seek some more well though conversation from time to time dont you think?


P.S. I was playing the game long before they removed the large chest from thicket, and while i dont remember their names the two monkeys had one slow aura and one haste aura. Not that it matters or has anything to do with the thread.

P.S.S.

Lastly, you're not really trying to fix anything. This thread has always been about running from a problem rather than solving it. "I hate the Lab, so let's make it so the Lab is optional." Cowardice and passive-aggression. The proper approach is "I hate the Lab, so let's make it so I like the Lab.

Cowardice and shit? WTF are you talking about? Dont make it personal, i just helped you see another way. Were do you base that accusation? What kind of fiction is this? Are not the alternative ways/labyrinth rework suggestions in the OP a way to fix the issue? Unless we see different issues. What i suggest requires the minimal work from GGG to win back the players they lost from labyrinth. The majority of the playerbase care about the labyrinth only because of ascendancy points, period. You want GGG to put more effort and money and time remaking lab so that those players suddenly will start to like it? Isnt it much more effective (cost/time/effort) to just rework the only thing the majority really runs labyrinth for?

Remove the blindfolds Scrotie, what you claim to be the proper approach is the utopian one where everything in the game will be liked by anyone. Instead what i propose is the realistic suggestion were you and some others enjoy the labyrinth for what it is, me and some other enjoy Atziri for what it etc. Reallocating the Asc. wont matter to you since you still will enjoy the lab right? It will matter to me though and the others who cant stant the playstyle.

You want to follow your approach ? In order for me to enjoy the labyrinth i need anything that resembles arcade playstyle removed : everysingle trap. now i want more puzzles cause i like classical RPGs. Now the x random player likes first person shooters, lets implement a camera for him and some ak-47. The y random player likes strategy games, so lets implement building and micromanagement, army recruiting and let him conquer the labyrinth. You see why your approach is utopian and thus wrong in the current scenario?

Reallocation of the ascendancy points/different ways to ascend is a solution that requires the minimal amount of investment from GGG, while having zero negatives on the current system and players. I dont want to labyrinth removed, i want people to have options, even if i dont like them.

Regards and please refrain from personal insults.


Quite pitiful stance Scrotie.

Looks like I triggered him.

Well, Regulator, I can tell this thread is very important to you. More than things like thoroughly examining the issues and fairness in discussion. So if believing that I need to refute every little point you make in order for my arguments to have any validity is what makes you happy, then by all means
1. go right ahead, and
2. stop confusing me with goetzjam

I never promise I'm done with a thread anymore, but I do plan on it with this one. I'm man enough to admit I'm just a little triggered myself.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

I come from a family of mental health professionals, so god's honest truth, I say this with like 66% concerned empathy, 33% clinical detachment, and only 1% derisiveness, but after that last post Regulator is quite clearly a deranged person.

Srsly, after he reported my posts I was going to just dissect and eviscerate his OP and subsequent posts ITT bit by bit, but I actually refrained as I thought it would negatively impact him in a personal way. It is literally the first time in my life I actually thought winning an impersonal argument such as this might have that reaction.

p.s. There's no such thing as a true impersonal argument, a person's ideas are their 'babies' and 'children' even to a very slight degree, so I guess I mean in relative terms.

That is my point. This is making people madder than issues that probably are more substantial. After all the lab can be pay to win (with in game currency, a fact I dislike but that's a derail). They made non sharable loot because it was anther issue hurting the game.

ScrottieMcB the fact the argument is making you mad shows its a contentious issue. More than say "loot Levels" which are getting nerfed next patch and probably will hurt casual more than this (since they can pay thru this rather cheaply).

This is a Maps vs Frogger issue for the most part.

Be honest who here hasent done the labs on at least one character or payed a couple chaos to legally cheat?
Reading peoples comments is putting me to sleep with how generic these arguments against it are becoming.
Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

You think loot tension was a less contentious issue than this? If so, you really don't know your forum history.

Man, if loot tension was worse then that's pretty bad. Loot tension must involve tacking one's scrotum to a wooden chair or something?
