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

It's not like we have never seen post of people liking the lab, or anything right ?

I would ask you to use some common sense, but I think that it's pointless at this point honestly.

GGG doesn't have a clue as to how many people like or dislike the labyrinth and/or trials.

They haven't asked. The reason they haven't asked is because they don't want to have an official truth out there. They know what the answer will be.

Of course people go into that mess, because it is FORCED upon them.

This is my best guess as well as to why they haven't officially asked and have danced around and avoided the issue (even in interviews) for so long.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: That is EXACTLY what I would do if I were in their shoes. And I would also implement a fix as quietly as possible, to minimize press exposure and bad PR. (Which is also precisely what they are doing, if they are implementing a fix at all.)

Some people getting too late to the party in this forums today and the way they are trying to explain the abc of life after 370+ pages does not help at all.

Really sad that they didnt change anything with the lab this league. Its still the worst part for me

And you will have to wait even longer, because 2.6 will be another challenge league with 3 difficulties.

Chances are they won't change much, aside from allocation of how many points people get per lab in 3.0


Honestly though, if the worst part of teh game is the lab, a task that can be done in an hour or less (for all points) per character, that is not a significant amount of time to be doing something you don't like.

. The fact that they haven't publicly released any statistics since right after ascendancy (when they hoped, optimistically, that time spent in the lab would go up) does suggest that the statistics might not look good.

I think your last sentence is a very important point. Regulator likes to point out that GGG did initially include some information on amount of labyrinth play and seemed to indicate that they would continue providing the same information in the future but that they never did.

Also, you can't forget that initially there was a command to see how many players are currently online. Now that command is gone and they haven't provided this information. Guess game is dying?

Edit: Also, about the seemed to indicate part - where did they indicate it?

In fact, I'll say that you're the ONLY ONE doing it that way and be just as correct as you are.

And I'll say that I am sometimes doing it that way too. Now, unlike Fruz, you are completely incorrect.

Such a shame.

Doesnt matter how fast some other payers can do it, I am slow and I need minimum around 2h to 3h for all the trials (6 per dif + for uber) and 4 labs per character (if I do not die or crash, disconect) and that is a lot of time of terrible gameplay for any game.

I hope that with 3.0 they will remove the points from the lab and put them behind some other "normal" type of content, so people like me are not forced to do this boring and horrible part of game with every character.

There wont be a fix since there is no problem. You just dislike said content and thats fine by me and GGG. No one is aiming to please everyone here. The game would be trash if GGG tried to make every individual happy.
