In it's current state, the game will be junked by the console audience. Only a tiny vocal minority actually enjoy being in that place once, never mind multiple times.

I'm fairly optimistic about that one, console games have a greater tendency to mix and match genres than PC games. Minigames are also somewhat of a console thing, you'd get fishing, racing, slot machines, card games and whatnot in perfectly respectable RPGs with serious plotlines and atmosphere. PoE should fit right in, I mean, we have fishing too, just need to find how to do it first.

Also, it's different for us who are here for a long time, but exclusive console players never knew PoE without the lab, that's a big factor too.


Im 100% on agreement with raics on this one. Its not coincidental

why GGG insists on the laby, when like 80% of the players really dont like it? I really can't understad this...

That number is made up. You're hurting your argument and those of people you agree with by posting things like that.

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

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.

Sure, buddy.

Spoiler
Too bad youre lying and your previous accounts post history shows it. Detective work is already done, all you can do is sit here and keep lying even when all the facts are stacked up against you. Shame youd rather sit here and keep pretending than just admit youre blowing smoke out of your ass. Youre just a low grade troll at this point.

Lab is kinda irrelevant for console success, I think, PoE has plenty of things that will offend a console player quite enough. We can probably assume some of those will be resolved before release, it's a separate game so they can get creative with no fear of messing something up. However, some are even what makes PoE a good PC game, we'll see how much are they in touch with console player demands, they won't be able even to see it's a problem otherwise.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

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.

They should make them optional like you can skip tutorials in some games. And if I get rekt in laby then I should blame myself.

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.

Yeah this or what XibalbaL suggests.

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

But unlike other games similar or in this genre there is a purpose to leveling, including but not limited to choices made along the way.

Exactly, some games do it, but I'd personally be much happier if they kept well away from it :)
