From thread Labyrinth review for 3.0
I'm responding here rather in that thread to avoid potentially derailing that thread with a tangential topic post.

I was one of the people who liked the Labyrinth when it came out however, I'm beginning to understand why people hate the lab because I'm starting to hate it too and that is sad.


Here is my proposal:

Normal Lab: Delete

Cruel Lab: Reduce Area Level to 3.0's Expansion Act 3
Now you can get boot and glove enchantment in a relatively early state of the game which is good and can prepare you for act 4 and onwards.
One run of this Lab will give you 1 Ascendancy point up to a maximum of 2.

Merciless Lab: Can be found in Act 8
The Area level will probably be a little lower than current lab which will make it easier to get the points.
Since you have to reroll Enchantments anyway getting one Ascendancy point each run seems like a fair and better progression than getting 2 at once.
Merciless Lab will prepare you for Act 9 and Act 10.
One run of this Lab will give you 1 Ascendancy point up to a maximum of 6.

Uber Lab: No Ascendancy points and is optional content.
It is a hard engame dungeon with big rewards.

Why this change?
For most builds its important to get Ascendancy points as early as possible.
What is the point of getting Ascendancy nodes when your character is already finished or you are already 20-30 levels overleveled?

Players want to enjoy the Ascendancy classes so don't make them grief.


Problems with current Lab:

Uber Lab is annoying and unnecessary.
What is the point of getting two more Ascendancy points when you have to be level 90 and insane damage to even do Uber Izaro??
The trials are shit because the traps deal too much damage.
Also in the burning ground one you get physically blocked by the infinitly spawning skeletons.

Blade Sentries and Spinning Blades deal too much damage.

Make Traps deal the same damage to Life than to ES.
Life builds have no way of replenishing their HP after they are out of flasks while ES regenerates indefinitly.


Endless Sting bleed damage is too high while moving.
Sentinel Traps should be a hindrance and not a get rekt.
They are placed in safe zones inbetween Trap cluster.
Thats fucking bullshit!

Opened a chest in uber lab with silver key it dropped 3 rare items
Ineffective -> Waste of time.
Make the rewards worth your time.
Something like a guaranteed random unique item or a selection of various flasks.
If you don't have insane damage uber izaro is impossible without insta leech.

Uber Izaro needs cooldowns.
Its not fun if he uses 3 skills almost simoultaneously.
You are forced to evade them unable to attack yourself.
His basic attack is overkill and he kills you with it even when you are half a screen away.

There is no need to make the last phase of the fight harder since it is already harder when you go for the keys. Dying in the last phase makes people ragequit and give up trying.

I probably forgot some things.

MasterTBC, thank you for voicing your opinion and suggestion. I've added your name to the list now 748 voices long. As the list grows longer our voices grow stronger.

A spot check of posts seems to indicate a majority of posts in the Feedback and Suggestions forum and about 30 or 40 posts made prior to release of the labyrinth. The relevance of these two things is: the 40 posts being made prior to release of the labyrinth is good evidence that MasterTBC is not an alt account of mine which has been argued by a paranoid labyrinth supporter. The apparent majority of posts to Feedback and Suggestions seems to support my conclusion that GGG could perhaps take the total number of posters to the Feedback and Suggestions forum and divide that into the 748 for a rough guess at the floor for percentage of players that have a dislike of labyrinth.

Maybe you should send a message to each person on your list. Because some of them don't know they hate the lab:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1837985/page/4#p14219087
You're eager to add people to your list but people have to request removal. Maybe just make sure people want to be there before adding them?

Note that there are many problems with labyrinth and many people have argued on both sides of the argument. The purpose of this list is not meant to "tag" anyone into any particular camp. It is meant primarily to demonstrate that many people have things about labyrinth that they think can be improved upon. Unlike the false assertions by some that have argued against any need to fix this problem there are far more than the 5, 10, or 20 that they incorrectly asserted have posted in support of changes. This list blows those silly assertions out of the water.

How many of them know they are on the list? Hard to ask not to be when you didn't ask to be on it in the first place so have no idea your name shows up. Not talking about the latest people you've added. Talking about the ones that happened before you posted responses telling them you were adding them.

I have noticed that my name is on the list. If that list is solely people who object to the labyrinth I want my name off that list.

While I have made threads about how to improve the labyrinth. They are mainly to address people's issues with the labyrinth, to make it more enjoyable for everyone, so that it STAYS.

I like the labyrinth and want to find ways to make more people to like it, because I feel moving the game away from pure hack 'n slash to having to pay attention to your surroundings is a good thing.
