It's a real lemon, without a doubt. :)

Ever played Pocket Tanks? :)
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

In my family, there were 2 very differing views:
My dad always said "Live with it." It was almost his motto. We had a hard life growing up, very little money, and he worked hard to get it. (Had 3 brothers) My mom, on the other hand, was always finding ways to make things work. She had to. We needed to live, so we needed food. She actively did things to make the situation better, not satisfied with "Live with it." because if we just "lived with it", we'd have been living in horrible conditions. So, in my life, I've always striven to make things better, to reach out for my own goals, not set by anyone else who might just want to "live with it", how life throws things at you. I'll never just "go with the flow" if I can see a way things could be made better. It has served me well thus far. |

Well, I wasn't suggesting to just swallow those lemons whole, you know.

"Live with it" can be taken multiple ways in different contexts. The Lab is a challenge, a hurdle, if you will.
Sure, you can find a way to comfortably walk around it, or not participate in athletics at all, but that hurdle is there to teach you something, to make you stronger, better. That hurdle ascends you to new levels of physical prowess. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.
Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave. |

I agree that there are things that can be learned about life from gaming. I'm still a bit surprised some are trying to turn Lab into a self help seminar.
I find that life itself offers plenty of chances to learn about life. I don't feel the need to add to the pool of learning opportunities about life by making a leisure time activity into another character building exercise. When gaming, if what I'm doing really isn't fun, then I find another way to have fun. For example, I pushed through normal and cruel lab when 3.0 hit to see if the experience was better after the changes than before 3.0 dropped. And, I found that abandoning lab runs featuring gameplay I find particularly annoying brought the experience within the realm of "I can tolerate this in small doses sometimes, maybe". I reached the Ossuary in A10, looked at the darts flying down corridors you apparently have to traverse, said "I'll play an ARPG instead, fuck this fucking platform shit", and haven't bothered with any Merc lab trial since. As alien as I find the approach to be, I wouldn't say it's wrong for those who want to persevere through gaming experiences they find disappointing or annoying. To each their own. I would say it's not very humble to suggest to others that's how they should approach gaming, if that's what's being done here. PS: Perhaps GGG should arrange for Tony Robbins seminars in lab, if teaching us about life is one of their goals. Tony is a pretty famous guy and lab does sometimes feature walking over hot surfaces, so it might be a good match. Now that prestige classes will finally leave lab in 4.0, will GGG get it right this time or will they find new ways to repeat old mistakes?

" And that's your view, which is entirely valid, for you. Now the Lab was created from a different view. One that others agree with. It is up to you, life lesson or not, to adapt or not. And by not adapting, I don't mean writing endlessly long posts regarding your discontent, I mean you just "live with it" and move on. Not everything in life was created for you and not everything has to adapt to your wishes. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done.

" I can live with a broken radiator in the winter, but I still want the radicator fixed. Does that answer your question. You know you can live with somethng, but we can at same time comment, critizsed, & ask if it be improve right? |

"What you're doing here is over the line. It's not your place to tell others how they should spend their time. Plus, what KiadawP said. Now that prestige classes will finally leave lab in 4.0, will GGG get it right this time or will they find new ways to repeat old mistakes?
