Add ability to skip lab and buy points
They will probably remove normal and cruel labs with 3.0 (thank god). Because normal and cruel will also be gone.

" Considering the supporter tags, or lack thereof, next to your name and the tags next to mine, don't tell me to go play wow. Without people like me, you wouldn't be playing this or wow. " Apparently reading comprehension is not your strong suit. No one said anything about farming lab or bad design. We're talking about it being tedious, and repetitious. Nothing in what I said would prevent you from doing that and farming it makes it worth the time investment. We don't have to do the trials over again. Do you have a problem with that too? This is my downtime, my entertainment. It's not my job or my profession. Progression should not be artificially gated behind a time sink. You like doing lab, then do it. Nothing in what I have said will stop you or impede you in any way. " The traps are not harder, they just require patience and taking your time. Something that is frustrating when you don't see them as a challenge but as a timesink and just want to get past them. " The only one complaining about it being hard is you. I said it was a time sink, and it is. Doing it once is fun and fine. Doing it every time is a pain in ass. As for power creep, seriously, who gives a shit on second and third characters. Remember, that's what we're talking about. Enjoy your game, don't worry about how I enjoy mine. |

Yes please. As someone with 200ms latency, I need the lab to go away. Or GGG can add a server in SA.

" Or they won't because they want people to be able to get the points at similar levels to where they can now. IIRC they were making normal a bit shorter and uber a bit longer, but you still would run the lab 4 times, with trials spread out accordingly to the new act system. https://youtu.be/T9kygXtkh10?t=285

Remove damage traps and add actual puzzles.

The complaint is that lab is a time sink? The whole game is a time sink. There's no way that can be your actual problem with it, and it's like 10-15 minutes if you're moderately efficient about it. If 15 minutes is too much for you, then you're probably playing the wrong game. If it's taking longer than 15 minutes and you're unhappy about it, get better.

" Well, if you picked everything up and identified it, it will take longer than 15 minutes, heck I just ascendend another character and I fully cleared everything, as I played each version up to Merciless at a proper level, and it was as boring as you could have a content named "Labyrinth" - Izaro fights are worthwhile, but the gauntlets of traps that span for screens are there to just slow you down... Oh, and I always use common sense instead of just jumping on Google and have the layout drawn before me, so by taking my time and playing Labyrinth for up to an hour at time seems far better than just being rushed by a carry that doesn't give a damn if you actually pass the trap gauntlets (especially during Uber)... If more monsters were using traps as means to put you in difficult possitions, or if you could at least use more of the time traps to your advantage, and kill more difficult enemies, "Labyrinth" would be a whole lot better. The game is a time sink, but by feeling that you have to waste your time either by navigating trap gauntlets or by fighting monsters, they over simplified a content that should felt like the pinacle of tactical approaches, instead of the plain "speed clearing meta"... Having a ladder for the players that RUSH through the "Labyrinth" without fully clearing it is so sad and they wasted so much potential it's not even funny - heck at least they should have added fully buffed Izaro as a requirement too. And not making "Labyrinth" a mandatory solo experience is at least "fixed" for those that play SSF, but I would prefer to have it "fixed" for all of us instead... PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"... Good to know "free speech" doesn't apply in any form or manner on the forums these days... Last edited by sofocle10000#6408 on Mar 17, 2017, 2:18:50 PM

Thank you to the following three long time PoE players for voicing your opinion on the boring and not fun labyrinth. I've added your three account names to the list at Over 290 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 730 posters in support. As the list gets longer our voices grow stronger. There are now 735 account names in the list.

" Thank god you are back, how ever will GGG know how few people really care enough to voice their concerns about the lab. https://youtu.be/T9kygXtkh10?t=285
