run into one of those but using the same lever a second time open it again so no idea whats the big deal.

Because the lever was disabled after the first use.

Was it by chance a timed lever?

The door closed as soon as I pulled the lever. It didn't reactivate afterwards and I was in there searching for an escape for at least 5min. Nothing changed during this time.

That's hilarious, and I honestly hope they keep that in-game. It'll make people think twice before pulling levers willy-nilly.

I play ARPG because I love these games and for my taste the Labyrinth is not an ARPG anymore even if it's only a part from one.

Because dodging traps isn't "action?"

Because dodging or outmaneuvering boss mechanics is any different than dodging or out maneuvering trap mechanics?


It's still an ARPG. It's a slight chance of pace, and I welcome it.

Calling an apple an orange doesn't make it an orange. The labyrinth is not ARPG gameplay. It is Mario Brothers jump around puzzle gameplay. Calling it ARPG gameplay is like calling an apple an orange. It is action puzzle gameplay (or whatever the proper terminology is for that type of game) that has been awkwardly bolted on to an ARPG. Just because you serve a slice of apple with a bowl of oranges, it doesn't make it an orange, that's the case even if you insist calling it a bowl of oranges and ignore the fact that that oranges and apples are two different things.

If by "arpg" you mean "diablo clone" than sure....but arpg is generally a much much larger and encompasses a lot of "sub genres." Shooters., point and click, rpgs, etc etc.

So puzzles have always had an element in arpgs. The labarrynth isn't a Myst game....

I think they should also add a slight chance (like .1%) for every mob in game to instantly kill you! Because that'd be hilarious!

Nah. Personally, if I was going to that (and I wouldn't) there wouldn't be a second lever inside the room.

Good traps give you all the information you need to solve/disarm them before you spring them. That way when you do fall for them you get to kick yourself for not paying attention.

This is just a bug.

you should still make it happen.

Simon says make it happen. with the addition of justin beiber singing baby, baby, baby, oh in the background for additional torture

I disagree 100%. Landstalker is a great example of an ARPG.

Here is the RP (role playing):



And here is the A (action):



Action doesn't mean - combat only. Maybe if Path of Exile was a CORPG (Combat Only Role Playing Game) - but then that would be like calling an Apple a Banana.

Now whether you or I like or dislike certain aspects of action role playing games is a matter of personal preference. Opinions disliking those kinds of elements in Path of Exile are as valid as opinions that do like it.

I respect your opinion, but I don't accept your effort to redefine what ARPG means, as the term has a long and storied history.

should have printed a warning on the box:
