^Lmao the classic delusional, "you just agreed with me because i can no longer argue against anything youve said" post.

"PoE and other aRPGs are all about killing monsters. Implementing obstacles like traps while doing that is perfectly ok! These traps are avoidable, but makes positioning harder. If you dodge an enemy attack, you might run into a trap if you are not careful. The difference is however, that in PoE there are sequences of traps that have nothing to do with killing stuff at all. Only traps, no monsters and even if there are monsters, it's mostly like 5 skeletons who randomly walked into a trap sequence. So the focus of the lab is shifted from killing monsters to dodging traps. It's a different genre, that has not much in common with your named aRPGs."

Good thing I wrote "and even if there are monsters, it's mostly like 5 skeletons who randomly walked into the trap sequence". So yes, I always said that this can happen. And if they happen to be cold spell casting skeletons, my example of being frozen in the trap sequence can indeed happen, like a meteor falling into your house. Damnit, no safe spaces in the lab! It really needs a rework. Thanks for pointing that out Tin_Foil_Hat. At first I thought you are against lab-haters, but now you provide strong arguments for our cause. I really appriciate your help.

Edit - Do you understand what INDEFINITE means ? Because that applies to safety hints why safety is never permanent.

You make no sense again. The definition clearly says that it needs to be SPACE (definite or not) that needs to be SAFE from any harm. It doesnt say ANYTHING about a time-limit you have mentioned before. Btw: You completely took the indefinite out of context. The definiotion talks about indefinite space and not indefinite safety...

But that's a separate complaint from hating the lab. If you hate the lab, it's not because the ascendency altar is at the end of it. You wouldn't suddenly like the lab if they moved the altar out of there.

The point you're missing is that not everyone has to like it if it's optional, and it's not optional as long as Ascendancy is behind it. Move Ascendancy and you leave Lab alone. That way people who do like it can have it. People who don't can ignore it like they do most other content they dislike. For example, I usually skip the hedge maze garden area of Act 3, because I don't care about those quest rewards and I don't like the map layout. It doesn't hurt anyone, and I'm sure some people love that area. That's what we're asking for with Lab.

It is a different genre, I've said this a million times before, a few traps here and there do not make it trap gameplay. It is still arpg gameplay with some traps in it. When you have screens full of traps then the gameplay is trap gameplay not arpg gameplay. This is a different genre, more like mario or frogger.

We are individuals and have every right to our opinion no matter what you say or think. When a game we love adds content that is horrible, tedious, irritating, and not fun then we have every right to come here to the Feedback and Suggestions forum and share our opinion no matter what you say or think.

Watch out people im clearly lying about everything even though you can go through Turtles post history, see that its full of complaints and you can even see in this one he directly disregards the games mentioned as "its a different genre".

Turtle, youre literally just trolling at this point. All you do is paradoxically argue and bring the entire argument full circle repeatedly with your comments. Literally goes no where when arguing with you, you intentionally bring the argument full circle, like a dog chasing its own tail.

PoE is an arpg. Labyrinth trap gameplay is a different genre. You do lie, you have lied continually.

Let's look at the rest of my statement, "You are lying when you say we have never played a platformer. I'm probably older than you and suspect that I have played more games than you have since, I'm 64 years old and have been gaming since before Pong. You really need to have more respect for the truth. Truth is reality and when one lies so much then it shows a weak grasp on reality. Please stop lying."

The statement that I've never played a platformer is a very stupid lie. You calling me a kid is an implicit lie. I'm 64 years old. You saying that I "literally complain for a living" is another baldfaced lie. You just can't seem to stop.

if you don't have an authoritive definition of what defines a genre and what invalidates it, then don't say things don't belong in the genre. Say you don't like something. but don't act like an authority on what belongs in somebody else's design. That's like telling Leonardo Da Vinci that his Mona Lisa painting should be changed because he painted it wrong.

If you lack the experience to understand what generally defines a genre, don't ask for a definition.

Soo youre 64 years old and you still havent played a platformer which is why you continually make the comparison.

No, its not a lie at all lmao.

"Labyrinth trap gameplay is a different genre!"

I literally mentioned torchlight 2 and diablo and you said theyre a different genre because i said they have traps in them. TRAPS MAKE ARPGS, ARPG, The fucking GOAT of ARPGS had them, why the fuck do you still insist that it "isnt the genre".

Do i have to fucking buy you a platformer soo you can actually understand the difference because the comparison is completely off when you compare any platformers to the labyrinth. ESPECIALLY FROGGER.

In that case, the argument is settled. It's a proven fact that there are traps in other games of this genre. Therefore traps are allowed in this genre. So nobody should say they don't belong or that only a certain amount of them are allowed.

And I already explained why traps in PoE are different from traps in D2 and T2. It's the way they are deployed. The focus shouldn't be on dodging traps, it should be on killing monsters, while the traps are scattered and only make bad positioning while fighting the monsters punishing. Furthermore, you should be able to completely go around traps if you wish so, which is not always possible in poe.

Sometimes small differences can change a genre completely. The moment the focus of the gameplay shifts it also changes the genre. The focus of the lab is clearly dodging traps and not killing monsters, so it is justified to say that the lab has it's own genre. That's not a bad thing, it just shouldn't be forced on the players.

You are lying when you say that I have not ever played a platformer. It is such a stupid lie that it is difficult to believe that you keep repeating it, yet there we go, you repeat the lie again. You just can't resist lying.

I said that having a few traps in an arpg is arpg gameplay with traps in it. I never said they were a different genre. You are just lying again! Then I went on to say that when you have screens full of traps, like in the labyrinth then you have trap gameplay which is no longer arpg gameplay but then becomes a different genre.

Lmao!

"Youre lying!" even though the post can be seen and directly referred to and i even directly quoted the post.

Literally all you can say is youre a liar because you have nothing better to say. Youre just trying to get a rise out of me at this point and i can tell you right now it isnt working.

literally 1/10, try harder.

Anyone who has played a platformer wouldnt make the comparison. I have tons of platformers and i still have plenty of original arcade games on cartridge and on disc. No experienced gamer would make the comparison.



The amount of traps dont dictate the genre, quit trying to put shitty fucking tags of what is and isnt something based on your personal opinion. Torchlight is an ARPG with traps, Diablo is the OG game with traps. Path of Exile innovated upon the idea and spiced it up, labyrinth is still arpg, deal with it.

If you want some shitty, unchanging, copy pasta ARPG then feel free to go back to older titles and quit your bitching on the forums.

And lying is literally your only response at this point, its hilarious.

I am an experienced gamer and I just made that comparison. That means that you have lied once again!
