The idea is that after the little supervised newly hired engineers had implemented labyrinth and showed off what they had done then the GGG experts looked at it and said, "Well it's a different game play, not PoE game play.

Really? How do you know all that? What if it was the "GGG experts" who wanted the Lab to be exactly like that and the "little supervised, newly hired engineers" made it so?

This thread = madness + specualtion + delusion. Stop torturing yourself and make your peace :)

I said it was tongue-in-cheek.

I was not trying to state a fact. At least not the whole thing as fact. We do know that GGG grew relatively quickly for an engineering organization. We also know that the whole labyrinth project was new hires. The rest is something that we could never know. At least if it is false we would never know. If it is true then we might have a chance of being pretty sure. When they move the ascendancy point challenge elsewhere then GGG may decide to cut back on the rewards. If they do then I would assert that it is likely very close to what happened.

Ok, then.

Free bump.

Honestly at this point I'd be happy with an alternate way to get ascendancy. Lab can stay as it is, just introduce another option to get ascendancy. Maybe in 3.0 they'll do this.

On the plus side, with the removal of cruel in the future that's one less time to do lab :P

But then, with so many complaining players, the alternate way will become the new lab...
And, you know, can't make everyone happy. As I've already said, I don't get all the hate for lab.
Imo, it's balanced enough. Like I actually like the reward for the difficulty. Ascendancy points, enchant, +all the other drops(possibly treasures too).

Indeed. Most people feel the same as you about the rewards.

How do you feel about the gameplay while you are playing it? Do you find it fun?

Yes I guess, the only things I dislike are the fact that you can only get to stash before each boss fight and after 3rd fight, which means I have to leave quite some items behind or backtrack, and the "puzzle"(if it can even be called that) where you need to stay near that thing to make it move. The monsters make it very laghy which means it's very easy to rip to the traps around it. Otherwise I like the labyrinth, mostly finding Mysterious Darkshrines and Intricate Lockers/any other hidden treasures.

this is an useless topic, nothing that was suggested here will happen tomorrow with 2.5 update

Because we used to love PoE until it was messed up by the horrible game play in the labyrinth. We would like to have our wonderful PoE with great game play throughout the whole game back (at least the non-optional areas). What are you doing here?

Wow, that is an extremely unflattering post. Just sayin'.

I've seen you post reasonably and intelligently elsewhere, so it took me by surprise.

Its like those people at a rock concert who love the band so much they are still waiting for an encore when the band is already at the hotel room asleep and could care less about its fans.

The lights are out and the original developers clearly do not care how much fun this game used to be. Move on and realize its a different game now and not designed anymore for you.
