Yeah just like how he bought a $1000 supporter pack during perandus league. LUL

Spoiler

Shame they didnt exist during perandus when he joined.

You two fools aren't nearly as smart as you think you are.

My original account is from 2012. Now, run along and do some better detective work.

Just watched the 3.0 video teaser and saw this at the end: "Six new acts. A single playthrough.".
But they choose to keep :
- 4 X (useless) trials
- 4 X Labyrinth

Isn't the "single playthrough" thing there to avoid repetitive content ?

My point of view:
- completely remove all trials
- remove normal, cruel and merciless Labyrinth
- keep uber Labyrinth as something that unlocks ascendency class (and maybe a few points)
- dispatch ascendency points as rewards from the new bosses or from specific map bosses

4 x trials + 4 x lab just doesn't make sense (at least for me) in a single playthrough configuration. This is so 2.x version of the game.

You've done the trials before yes, but not everyone has. Its funny as much as new player argument gets used, the trials are there to introduce people into the mechanics that will be in the lab. Thats why you do them once per league, so you can get refreshed as well.

You are purposing moving the ability to get AC from early\mid\late game to ultra late game only, from there they go fetch the remaining points?

I don't think too many people would agree with that. It would help offset the massive power creep, but I doubt that causes less complaints. At least with the way it is now you can get AC points before you go do the end of act 4, which significantly helps.

The only thing that urgently needs to be addressed with the lab is the fact that you must do it 4 times a character.

Make it so if I skip normal and cruel labs, but complete merci lab, I get all the points up to that lab.

No need to make me go in an area 50 levels lower than mine, especially if I've already done it in a higher level version.

It doesn't make getting ascendency easier, it is just less boring. If I do merciless lab I can do it in normal with no problem. So why people wouldn't be ok with that except for the sake of saying no to anything related to a laby change?

Oof, stop it right there. What you're saying makes sense but that's a slippery slope, once you start going there it's only a matter of time before there's an option to skip everything and go straight into endgame.

Well, of course - there are many players who would love such an option :P
