Silence is the best approach when you know your wrong, but a developer with a hard on for Frogger is head of the development group.

I bet you think you're so clever with your Frogger reference, as every single post you write contains this word.

I still don't get it. Must be because I play Path of Exile instead.

Frogger isn't even an accurate representation of the challenge the lab has, because frogger is 1 hit k\o and the lab takes severe misplay in order to die to the traps. If anything the coolest part of the lab is the multi stage boss fight that you can sort of determine the difficult of.

Yes, and even the worst build, being the ES meta pretty much, that can't regen or flask up after a misplay, can run a bow with Soulstrike to make it literally trivial dealing with trap with that regen and blink arrow.

If it's trivial, then why even have it in there at all? At that point it's only pure annoyance for the sake of annoyance without any challenge.

Terrible game design.

Annoyance is an excellent description.

Some Annoying/Frustrating/Irritating things in PoE
Labyrinth Traps
No checkpoints in Labyrinth
Death Penalty
Maintaining high level map supply
One-shot deaths
Quality issues like
-disconnect/desynch's/client crashes
-Projectiles ignoring chest armour from 2.2 release to 2.5 release

Major Strengths of PoE
Build diversity
Depth of skill system
Depth of passive tree


Look GGG, the OP of this thread has suggestions that would eliminate a third of the things on the Annoying/Frustrating/Irritating list! Or at least makes them optional which arguably essentially removes them from the list.

I'm sure they saved the annoyance list somewhere, ready for use whenever they decide to go full teletubby.

Seeing "Death Penalty" and "Maintaining high level map supply" in that list tells a lot.

Yes and seeing the little man saying nitpicking insulting little things says a lot about you.

Sorry if you are seeing as insults, it isn't really.
It would just appear that you just want things easier and that's it, judging by that list of yours, wanting the death penalty removed is the most obvious example of it.

It isn't anything like nitpicking, you seem triggered tho.

And lol @"the little man", antagonizing a tad, arent't you ?

Thats the point its a different game play.

I bought the equipment to make the Frogg err platform game known the LAB trivial but I like a diffrent form of gameplay than the Lab and even leveling a lab friendly build sucks for me.

Hell a legacy Kaoms chest is in my inventory because I got bored leveling the char way way back at the beginning.

The point is you have 2 completely different game play styles kills diversity because you get a narrow build set that works for both.

If anyone finds 1 of the 2 boring they stop playing because the whole idea is of forcing people to play 2 desperate games is dumb.

Have 2 games.

Path of err Platforms?

Path of Exile

You could make a really good game that is a series of Lab platform levels, it would be a good game just not one I want to play. Others would probably play both or just it. Its called choice.

i accept that i'd have to restart if i die. that's alright to me and makes the lab unique. sort of like hardcore mode. but a way to continue roughly where i was if i crash or disconnect is needed. the rest of it is pretty good.
