God I can't beleive we are not done with this stuff yet.

Lab is fine for GGG, they seems happy with it state right now as proven by the fact that 2.4 patch notes contained ZERO mentions to the lab.

It's not gonna change, just get over it.

Perhaps you're right, but we're not gonna change, just get over it.

Don't trust random links on message boards. They can lead to malware.

The links are not identifiable since they go through a generic goo interface. They can easily point at malware as stated.

I think its a good poll, my thoughts are adding a point on length of lab, thats my main gripe with it.

1. Do you enjoy Lab itself in its current state (disregarding AC points being tied to it)

Yes

2. Do you enjoy how Ascendancy Points are Gained?

Yes

3. Would you enjoy lab more with less trap quantity?

No

4. Would you enjoy lab more if Ascendancy Class points were gained elsewhere?

No

5. Is Izaro too difficult?

No

Polls aside, it would be nice to get an update from GGG on Labyrinth statistics that are more recent than two weeks after it was released.

Firstly, we are interested in what types of play our players are enjoying. These statistics are from the last seven days. Not including time in Hideouts and Town, the breakdown looks like this:

Normal 40.3575%
Cruel 20.4968%
Merciless 20.4086%
Maps 12.6867%
Labyrinth 6.0503%

We'd expect the time spent in Maps to go up as the league goes on, and we imagine the time spent in the Labyrinth will also. We'll keep an eye on that!

I wonder if the time spent in the Labyrinth really went up the way GGG imagined it would. ;)

With the introduction of Uber lab, and how lucrative it is to farm, yes I would imagine that time spent in the labyrinth went up significantly.


As for the poll, while I am not a lab hater, I don't think that a strawpoll on the forum will ever get you any kind of accurate perspective on the majority of players, and how they feel about the lab. The only way to truly get this info would be a poll conducted in game. The majority of people who will even look at a thread like this are those who have nothing but vitriol towards the lab. There are of course exceptions in those forum regular whose opinion one way or the other is irrelevant to whether they would view the poll or not, as they will view most every thread on the forum, regardless of subject.

Oh and my answer? The lab, ascendancy points, traps, etc. are all fine the way they are. Adapt or die.

Depends on implementation

4. Would you enjoy lab more if Ascendancy Class points were gained elsewhere?

Yes (Because it would then be OPTIONAL content.)

5. Is Izaro too difficult?

No

identical for me

Apparently I write books.

Anyway, the questions are bad. 3 and 4 aren't feedback questions, they're suggestions questions, and I'll say right now that most people have no idea if they'd enjoy something they haven't tried, or not enjoy it.

I will say this though: no one will enjoy the Lab more if Ascendancy points were earned elsewhere (no other changes). The game, maybe, but the Lab, no. That's like saying people would enjoy beer more if they took the alcohol out. I get that some of you guys don't like the taste of beer and would rather get your alcohol from an alternate source, but you obviously do not enjoy a thing you never, ever consume.
