Years later, some people still trot out the same strawman.

"Stop lying; I know why you REALLY don't like this content. You don't like it because it is a challenge."

Hi guys. It's been ages! Is the labyrinth still garbage?

yes, the labyrinth is still garbage. Release 3.0 reduced the loathsome content significantly. (minimizing trials and shortening the first 2 labs)

Nice to hear from you. Forums are about the same. Chris Wilson did mention in a recent interview

"So, what we're going to do, in regard to revamping old content, is interleave it with the schedule. Obviously, we're going to target the most important stuff first, but there are so many things where we're working at the moment that are targeted to go alongside leagues, so the next league includes some revamping of old content. For example, we promised an Ascendancy rework. The Ascendancy rework done in the next league is extensive, far more so than we've promised. There's a lot of work there, and people are going to love it." https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7qc08a/chris_wilson_interview_with_zizaran_jan_13_2018/

So, it might be worth checking back in after release 3.2 comes out in March or April?

Lets hope they keep up the power creep. Uber is a pain but at least half the builds are trivial with it now thanks to shaper items and stupid powerful jewels.

I guess that's one way to make uber lab trivial. Maybe they can make more passives and let us level to 200 and leave uber lab alone :).

Today, seems to be the perfect opportunity to complete uber! See http://www.poelab.com/?p=11444

It's still incredibly easy and everyone with a little skill at the game spends less than an hour completing all stages, including searching for trials in 820.

I must say ... I hate the trap mechanics too, but it's an acceptable challenge that my character spends less than 1% of it's playtime with, so it's perfectly fine.

Actually I waited till I got all the trials myself I was on my second level 90 at level 70 when it popped. They need to make the trials a little less random. Like when you make a map always give YOU one you haven't done yet if a trial pops.

What's the point of the trials anyway? we have all done them so much they aren't hard zzzzz.

I think the map trials are designed to be something you can share with your guild or friend to get it completed faster or potentially sell as well.

It also prevents people from rushing the content as fast as possible and making a bunch of money off the uber lab really early and encourages regular mapping, at least initially.


I will admit there can be variance to high degree on getting that last one, but you can also find all the ones you need possibly solo quickly as well. Its all on the RNG.

Yeah lets hope they power creep the game to death, no problem with that.


Powerful jewels likely won't be there for you next league, so relying on them as a crutch now, would indicate to me the lack of build planning and foresight.

Furthermore, shaper\elder items on higher bases won't be available for you the first few days of the league, maybe longer, so relying on those items to brute force your build thru the uber lab is poor planning as well.


Uber lab isn't suppose to be trivial. I recommend you seek help with how to overcome the challenge, rather then relying on constant power creep to do the content.
