Wth lol, seriously.

It's completely irrelevant here, at best fallacious.
Somebody that has less time will reroll less, and if that person keeps playing the game, it will take many more days to reach higher levels, that's it.
Time loss is basically the same, if it's a 10 min thing ( which I don't think it is, I would more go for 20 mins or 25 ), well if it's a technical problem it sucks and should be fixed, if it's the player's fault .... well, nothing to add there.

When you loose a high maps because of a server crash, that really sucks too, but that's how life is : sometimes it happens, deal with it.

( Not saying that GGG should not improve the stability obviously, lab crashes suck ).

The view being taken here is that someone with a "life and full time job" might only be able to spend only 30 or 45 minutes in a single gaming session. Labyrinth doesn't fit well into that kind of play style because you need a big block of that time for just one run. If there's a disconnect then the whole day of gaming seems lost and leaves an extra bad "taste in one's mouth" for the day of gaming. As opposed to someone playing 3 or 4 hours a day and losing 30 or 45 minutes of play time would have a smaller impact on the general bad impression left after a disconnect in the labyrinth.

Your argument about high level maps fails, IMHO, because maps have six portals and labyrinth has zero portals.

I would also love to remove the Ascendancy points from the Labyrinth. IMO, they would be a nice reward for killing the last boss in each difficulty, which means Malachai right now (since there's no quest reward for that, which is rather odd), and for killing the Shaper later on.

The lab could still exist as a way for players to enchant their items and to get the treasure chests. But the Ascendancy mechanic is IMO too important to be tied to something so unlike the "real" game as the labyrinth.

That has been suggested before, but isn't good idea, currently there is a reward to killing the last boss of the difficulty, except in merciless, because you progress to the next act. That is all finished act bosses have ever given in terms of rewards is progression.


Shaper is an endgame niche boss, not something that should be required for AC points.


AC classes are a set of different rewards, as such it is only logical for them to be behind a different challenge.
