And there it is...remaking of content with Lab elements.

ITT : Preventable healing mechanics and positioning are now considered "traps" by the community.

Tune in next week when we see threads where we devolve into calling ground effects traps.

Peace,

It's like orphan tears pours out every time you're forced to move, think or act.

Not being able to stand still or face tank everything? LAB!!!

*gasps*

This whole thread is a trap!
And because of Labyrinth mechanics we can't even kill it!

Nooooooooooo

What if i told you that pro-lab (or white knights call them as you want) already used that "argument" to justify and explain that traps were already in game before the labyrinth? Yeah i know mind-blowing.


As for the OP, i can see your frustration, and feel for you completely. Read innervation's last post you will understand that this kind of mechanics are not in any way comperable to what traps in the labyrinth are. The same applies to Izaro 3rd stage and the Plaza boss, where traps in both instances as also showcased in the new crema boss are very smoothly intergrated into the gameplay and are not altering in such a huge way lab traps do.

But again i have to ask, since maps are literaly optional content and are other same tier maps without traps or similar mechanics, why this forces you to leave while the mandatory lab running and ascendancy gating doesnt? There are alternatives to the one and none to the other, so the latter is a much more solid reason to quit.

Anyway dont let white knights and the bully brigade demoralize you, wait a bit more and make your decision after the patch notes. So if you dont have problem with the current lab and ascendancy situation, you will probably be ok after this expansion hits live. And that advice is coming from the person who for 6months still tries to change how these things work.

Thats all, if you made completely your mind, then have fun elsewhere, i dont know you personally but by your badges its clear you have been an asset to GGG. Sadness and shame that anything lab related has THAT much effect and GGG still ignores the complaints. Take care man.

I thought the Butcher fight in Diablo 3 was nice. I wish we had more like it. At first it looked like Fire and Fury was heading in that direction, but they did something more tame.

we get a lot of new maps, bosses and they even reworked the old ones and you bitch about one bossroom mechanic??
O.o

I can't tell if OP is being satirical or not...he's leaving because they're adding mechanics to boss fights? It's not even cancerous mechanics just simple ones like flipping a switch to stop boss from regening.

Are you honestly mad you have to click on a lever for a boss fight that you probably won't even get to fight in the first place? Let's worry about getting to level 80 first mate.

We're finally getting something that isn't "AoEs everywhere lulz" and you're complaining? The arena is huge, and the fire pits aren't there to hurt YOU, they're there to heal the BOSS. It's a brilliant way to make battles more than just overwhelming spam and raw stats, the boss uses the environment to it's advantage and you get the opportunity to stop it.

Not to mention they also introduced that goatman boss with a very clear attack pattern and a vulnerability period!! I have never seen a boss in this game EVER stop spamming, this is god damn miraculous and exactly the kind of design I've been wanting to see. Make the player use timing and environmental gimmicks to win the fight, not rely on stacking BF traps and facetanking full-screen damage.
