Well it isn't uncommon for people to dislike something but don't feel too strong about it and honestly the competition isn't perfect either. Choosing your ARPG is like your countries election (if you hold any) you won't get a perfect candidate or party more often then not you just have to go for the option which sucks the least. And even though PoE likely isn't as bad as some countries election choices you might end up in a similar situation. In our head we might have a vision of this perfect game we would like to play, however in reality this game doesn't exist and we have to settle with one that is close to it.


PoE isn't as bad as Trump, you say? ;)

You're right, though. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders what would be different in PoE if decent competition existed for it.

As for supporting something one "dislikes," I also think it's important to note that supporter packs are not donations in the sense that they would be if GGG had gone with its original plan only to sell non-functional MTXs (aesthetic ones). Many people buy supporter packs and spend those points on stash tabs, because... well, because they want more stash tabs. I know I'm guilty of that.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I believe stash tabs are GGG's biggest money-maker, which tells you something right there. So supporter tags are only useful for gauging player satisfaction to the extent that they indicate players are still actively playing, not to indicate that they are happy enough with GGG to donate money to them, like they would donate to a charity.

I for one dislike the hardcore nature of the lab that gates sometimes build enabling points.

My routing to GGG servers can be quite sketchy to say the least some times, to the point where the game freezes in either lockstep or predictive (latency wise not FPS wise), and usually that is enough to get hit by a massive degen trap (if CI you have no hope to survive it while frozen from any action) or to get hit by one of Izaro's one shots, get stunned, be hit by added mechanics, get teleported onto traps by Goddess and only after RIP unfreeze. (atleast I presume that's how i teleport to the left and die when I used a movement skill to the right before the freeze).

So yeah... gating the points in a Hardcore nature LONG gauntlet (try doing the lab 3 times in a row and breeze through traps and just get a game freeze on Izaro every single time, I have been there and acknowledge the pain of it).

The enchantments and treasures I can live without if you unlock the ascendancy points to some other method (who knows, like kill Malachai and then UberLab for the last 2), atleast then people that are forced to play Softcore will not get in lack of better terms, slammed by technical issues and lose 30 minutes of progress.

Before you whine that I just started the game, I have been playing since Beta and NEVER have I found such a glaring issue in my progression. I can accept losing maps to technical issues (usually last 5 minutes tops), but something that takes around 30 if unlucky with all the snares/traps/freezes for something that is needed to progress in maps with most builds, is slightly ajar.

from thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1609216/page/379 I'm responding here in order to not derail that thread.

Porungda, thank you for sharing your opinion and feedback. Many people share your feelings. You're number 702 on the list. As the list grows longer our voices grow stronger.

There are people that want to believe that you're my alt account because they don't want to believe that people dislike things about labyrinth. Here's information from Porungda's profile.

Note that if Porungda were my alt account or belonged to anyone else the account would have been created prior to my account or most other people's account. Also, 6 of his 20 posts were made prior to release of the horrible Labyrinth that is a festering oozing sore that won't heal in the game I used to love.

Really? Haven't seen anyone make that claim at all. Who's the paranoid one now?

I fail to see what any of that proves. Just more rhetoric.
Just a lowly standard player. May RNGesus be with you.

Actually it's a fairly common assertion. Like Lagwin's statement which the list was probably made up by a handful of people and then you stating that I was the one likely doing it all and not a conspiracy.

It shows that it's highly unlikely that Porungda is an alt account and when multiplied by hundreds in the list with similar profiles proves that assertions that only a handful of people are represented by the list of 702 account names is a false assertion.

Yeah, go back and read what I said cause that is not what I was implying. :)

For every 50 threads bashing the lab, there is 1 praising it

You think your funny?


And your are :)
I will never play poe as long as the stupid trap "gameplay" exists. Its 100% the opposite of what I want to do when I'm playing poe. Thanks but no thanks.

Not only that but any chance I get to shittalk the decision to put stupid platformer/trap gameplay into an arpg to anyone I will take. Because its that stupid and takes poe from being miles better than any other option in the genre to being.... tied with D3 for "you only play this because lots of people do" levels of shite.

Brutal bosses or increased difficulty through not being able to tp in and out? Fine by me if that's the direction. At least that's in keeping with the core game that I've enjoyed on and off for however many years.

Move, stop, move, stop, jokeass platforming in my arpg? Snap uninstalled and never ever coming back while that is part of the game, I don't care how cool the next league sounds/is.
