When Chris says that lab haters are a minority, how right is he?

Don't hate the lab... but it did make me switch from HC to SC. I've never enjoyed SC. It's getting harder and harder to justify clicking on PoE.

Same here. That's what I dislike most about the lab. It functions in a fundamentally different way from the rest of the game. The defenses I build into my character end up being completely negated in the lab and by trials. Izaro can one shot characters that would be able to avoid one shots in maps by skipping the scariest bosses.

I just can't justify playing HC anymore, since throwing away characters to the lab and trials in maps feels absolutely horrible. I tried HC this league, but stopped when I realized how much skipping every map trial due to the absurd risk level was ruining the game for me.

I used to love HC, but I don't think I'll bother playing it again.

This is still going huh? The Uber-lab did not help the lab haters case. It turned a lot more opinions positive.

Best of luck on your next 60 pages.

Only because they had to bribe people with loot better than any map did it change peoples minds... Its so such a naked bribe people are building builds that can only do lab lol https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1689240


At the end of the day it it wasnt a loot pinata people would never bother but to ascend.

I don't get the loot issue... of course people like getting loot. That's what drives this game for me anyway. Remove the loot aspect from the game and how many people would be playing it?

If you find bribes hard to digest, I can only suggest more practice.

Nothing wrong with it until its so much more than anyplace else in an area that much derided. Obvious bribe to protect egos. "See Chris ppl love our lab idea" Well doh? give 1-2ex per 5-10min run most ppl do "love" free shit not the lab,.

They would not even run it if it gave map loot like before.

It's good to see that you purchased the pack funding development of Lab: level 2 :D

I'm not funding lab. Just because I dont like X aspects I dont throw baby out with bath water.

More good than bad about this game so I have no problem paying for the entertainment I get.

Where is your pack hommie?
