LAB is not fun

"
For once we got something that in most cases requires a bit of skill, or a very specific build if you're racing it. I like it.


Lab has NOTHING to do with skill.

laggy traps and darts are boring.

I'm not playing this season because of lab, but it's nothing to do with the "challenge." It's the repetition. Even professional streamers complain about the soul sucking monotony of lab, and they actually get paid to play the game, lol.

I'm just saying, if motivation to play the game is already thin for one reason or another, then lab is more than enough to completely put you off. You can say it's only fifteen minutes per difficulty, but that's X4, and for EVERY character. Overkill, IMO.

Uber lab is the only lab that should exist. All the rest need to go, and the first six acendancy points should be gained from just beating the difficulties. That's my feedback, anyway.

I enjoy lab but have found it frustrating as well. It really lets you know if your build is capable or not. This season is the first time I've used whirling blades as a skill and you can use it to shoot right past most of the traps, if you time things right.

Oh? Who? I've never seen a streamer express the hilarious bullshit that gets spewed in the lab-hate threads on this forum.

The best part is that I don't even enjoy the lab really. It isn't my cup of tea... but guess what? I learned the mechanics, and am more than happy to do it now, since it takes me 10 minutes, and the reward is insane. If your build can't do lab, it is a problem with your shitty build, not with the lab. If it takes you an hour to do lab, it is a problem with your build or your playing, not a problem with the lab. The fact that there are people that run the lab in a few minutes on dirt cheap builds alone negates a lot of the silly arguments made. Oh, and as for internet/latency/disconnects... so what? GGG has to design content around YOUR shitty internet connection? Give me a break...
U MAD?

I don't get this you only do it 3 times(4 times with uber) per character how is it repetitive.It's no more repetitive than any part of the game in fact less so.Masters require a lot more time investment yet they are very basic.

Acendancies are not a reward. They're just basic fundamental parts of a character.

And if you mean uber lab has the rewards, then I don't know why you quoted me. I said uber lab is fine. It's the other three I object to.

that is called an assumption. Assumptions are dumb. People have boring and hard mixed up. Lab is not hard it is BORING

What's more 'boring' then, doing the lab or playing without ascendancies?
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Nobody is saying change it they are too hard or whatever. If you find it fun that's great, enjoy! What some of are saying is they shouldn't be mandatory. If the rewards are such that without them you are seriously hampered then we disagree with the intent.
