UBER LAB IS FUCKED

NO ONE SHALL CRITICIZE THE LABYRINTH!

Make sure you are wearing your:



Or else they'll get you for complaining about it.

It's not that bad if you don't do it :D

Lab is enjoyed by masochists, designed by sadists. Pretty much.

Just look at some of their names: "Trial of Lingering Pain". That will give you a clue.

Gotta admit the last time I complained was when a single trap killed me when it was first released, felt unjust going from 100-0 because 1 spike trap. I absolutely hate lab but I've done it numberous times, trust me people do lab even if they hate it and say nothing against it.

I'm confused if people are joking or not but it takes like 5 minutes to complete uber lab with a faster character and 10 minutes max with a slow(if your build doesn't take 20 minutes to kill a tier 6 boss)

NetherPrime, thank you for voicing your opinion on the labyrinth. I agree with your assessment of labyrinth. I'd say the large majority do not like it but, most just do it for the ascendancy points or the big pinata loot explosion at the end, depending on their tolerance for not fun game play. I've added your name to the list of people that believe labyrinth has problems or should be made truly optional at number 753. Over 300 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 750 posters in support

A note about times, the median for the normal legacy labyrinth ladder right now is 17 minutes 20 seconds.

For those paranoid people in the Looney Toons category that think there's only a handful of people that think that labyrinth has problems, study NetherPrime's summary profile and start on the path that will lead you to sanity by admitting to yourself that NetherPrime is not an alt account. Oh and if GGG is reading this, please fix it or make this content truly optional. It will significantly improve the game for many people.

Oops sorry QuiquePoE, I missed checking you earlier and checked just now, you weren't on the list. Thank you for voicing your opinion about the "sadistic" labyrinth. As the list grows longer our voice grows stronger.

Been almost a year since I've quit playing POE - the implementation of uber trials and lab was the last straw for me.
POE was and still is the game I've dedicated more time but that kind of gameplay ruined the game to me.
My appreciation to all those who had the will and care about the game to give feedback. Even if someone uses stronger words, that does not mean their feedback is invalid. The post I myself made before quitting could have some different writing, but I think its not hard to understand what leads that: frustration and disappointment.

I never knew that, I personally haven't found it difficult to complete it as such I expected others to be the same. Thank you for the information, kinda difficult to not think of myself as "average" sometimes.

I have absolutely no intention of passing the Uber Labyrinth. I'll give it a go (already cleared the Trials easily enough) but my build basically doesn't need the last two Ascendancy Points.

I made sure of that well before I got to this point.

I view it the same way I view anything else with the prefix "Uber" -- some ridiculously difficult challenge implemented purely for the so-called 1%. If you know that doesn't include you, don't plan to reap the rewards. Be realistic.

I do not currently view core Labyrinth as optional, merely something to be tackled in due time. Ascendancy was designed with six points total as a reward, not eight. The Uber Labyrinth was added later. Those last two truly are a bonus, and if you can't see it that way, if you feel you simply have to have them, if you believe you are in that 1% (it's probably smaller than that)...then I wish you luck and hope you are worthy.

Everyone else? Plan for six points. Not eight.

Charan makes an excellent point in this post. I suspect that his 1% "guess" is a good guess. I would guess that only a very small percentage (maybe around 1% ??) of the players in the player base ever even complete an uber lab for any of their characters. Now from the forums you'd guess that it would be way greater than that. I believe though that the elite players are generally the people that more typically post on this forum.

I know this is probably what everybody says, but I would suggest you take a daily look at poelab and check for easy Izaro mechanics (portals, lieutenants, fonts assuming you have anticurse flask, etc) and two handed mace. Then just take things slowly, disable all the Izaro mechanics in each stage - which is easy if you use a decoy totem and/or stone golem to distract him.

I will agree that having to go to such metagame extremes to get your last points is bloody ridiculous though. Really makes me think the ascendancy points are a bad fit for the labyrinth :D
