What are you comparing lab to when you say it takes too long? It's a full expansion, comparable to an act. It is definitely short compared to any of them and it's 100% optional. You should not get that for free just for leveling. That's ridiculous.

Please show me a build in all the build lists that has ascendancy as optional. Anyone who says this is full of it regardless of your feelings if it should be mandatory for points or not.

Pretty much any build prior to Ascendary's existence. Remember that the passive tree as it is now was first designed to take you to endgame content with each of the characters getting a much needed class revamp around the time Scion was coming out to help further define their roles, and the Ascendaries were later thrown on top of that.

Which leads me to what I consider one of the Ascension class concept's biggest failings: poor presentation and communication on who it's for. On the surface, it looks like a key part of everyone's builds that pretty much everyone plans around these days and an easy way for newer players to find direction for their character, but based on playing it feels much more like it was intended only for good builds to become better and it only frustrates anyone else that assumed that choosing an Ascendancy was a good start to planning a build.

Actually, Ascendancies are helping differentiate those end game viable builds, and they have the merit of making those non-meta builds feel worthwhile, shortening the gap between the worst and the best. Everyone sees them only as power creep, but they actually made a lot more builds viable to reach at least yellow tier maps, so that the funkiness and the unoptiomal choice feel feasible a lot more than before...

More people than ever should be able to experience the higher end content, and get more invested while playing against the environment, as PvP still feel lacking due to imbalancing....

The only real problem i see is that if u die/dc u need to start over.

Most players arent speedrunners, have jobs etc. Just let us finish the lab, and if someone really wants, spam it.

Seriously, we dont play non hardcore leagues for a reason.

Fryderyknicze, thank you for voicing your opinion on the boring and unfun Labyrinth flawed by not having portals. I've added you to the list at number 741. Over 290 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 740 posters in support As the list gets longer our voices grow stronger.

Fryderyknicze joined well before the horrible labyrinth, and has posted about a third of his posts prior to the labyrinth release. I will assert that fryderyknicze is not an alt account at the risk of enraging some people that wish to believe in silly conspiracy theories involving alt accounts being the vast majority of people on the list.

Not having portals in the horrible labyrinth makes the labyrinth even more frustrating and horrible. Trades? phone rings? dog has to go outside? time for dinner? desynch killed you again? need to urinate?
If one is in the Labyrinth then these are very frustrating occurrences. GGG please fix this problem.

• Have your dinner
• Take your piss
• Take your dog out
• Do anything else necessary to free up 30 mins of time
• set "/autoreply running laby, if you're willing to wait I'll let you know when I'm done"
• Let calls go to voicemail or get to a safe spot and answer
• profit

That's just a dumb troll reply.

You cannot foresee a lot of RL events that can occur at any time. Not to mention the frequent " Client unexpectedly disconnected" errors, client crashes, network issues etc etc.

Is it really? Do you guys truly expect the devs to re-write everything because you don't know how to manage your own time?

Don't have 30 mins to dedicate to laby? Don't play the laby until you do.

Can't dedicate 30 mins to a game? You probably shouldn't be playing videogames then.
