Speaking of which, anyone else thinking this whole act 5 theme is a message from devs? If I had to try my hand at making sense of it the message would probably go - 'Who told you this was democracy?'

Well, until you fight Innocence, God Emperor of Eternity, you are a member of Antifa fashing the bash and even some that are not fash.

After that you have to deal with SJWs in the form of slaves serving Kitava.

I think GGG is saying us we should be South Park Neutral.

If the game as a whole has any theme, I'd say it was more like don't follow gods like fanatics. They're stupid and they're not immortal. Go kill them and take their power and go kill everything else while you're at it. (and a side theme of: humans are monsters)

I'm not too keen on the overall game's message in that regard, though I have nothing against destroying things that are perceived to be gods, or are called gods, but are not.

In this respect, they're telling us that as the devs of the game, they're not all-knowing all-powerful game creators that know best, and we should not fanatically follow them; in fact, we should rise up in revolt against the horrible labyrinth!


Yeah, I don't think that's their message either, but it's fun to make these comparisons.

The labyrinth is the beast, this thread is the work of the thaumaturgists and GGG is Sin then (?).

I bet you guys look for the meaning of life in the stains on your bedroom ceiling at night.

Putting Ascendancy points behind the Lab is total garbage game design. Name one other game where the entire play style changes for 1% of the game content and it's required if you wanted to max out something in this case a character? Zero trap or platform sections in the entire campaign or any of 100+ maps but it's thrown into a section to get enchants and Ascendancy points. Ridiculous.

BenN1ce, thank you for voicing your opinion on the total garbage design labyrinth. I've added your name to the list of people that have voiced a similar opinion here in the Feedback and Suggestions forum, now at 931 names.

Or they've been telling us to follow only one god and kill everyone else. Dunno about you, but after completing the storyline I felt an inexplicable sudden urge to venture on the vast messageboards and bash other games. Subliminal messages much? :)

I would say after 726 pages, feedback has been provided, consumed, digested, regurgitated, devoured again, broken down to molecular level, split on atomic level and dispersed to each corner the universe.

Please make your peace and move on. It's better for all of us.

You don't have to like what other say, you don't have to agree, but you have no right to tell people to move on, & you don't speak for all of us.

I'm speaking for myself. I'm giving you feedback and suggestions. Isn't that what this forum is for?

Xavathos, I'm definitely with KiadawP on this one.

Labyrinth is loathsome not fun crap content that besmirches and insults GGG's good name. I speak for myself, for the good of PoE and therefore for all of us. :-)

I know you are, TD. I know what you think of the Lab. While unfortunate, I just can't agree that it's that bad. Something about water and wine, I believe...

More like skunky beer that only gets praised because it reminds you of time that aged badly.
