Reddit news - 2.4.0 is all about the end-game

labyrinth and now uberlab are the new good content but sadly only catering to a limited few "i dont give a damn if i take dmg" builds.

it doesn´t help that 8 asscandy points can turn certain classes into monsters while others barely benefit from 2 more points after 6.

prophecies are 90% junk and involve you to go back to off-maps into acts to finish them and get new prophecies.

at first i liked the fresh start and all that but i´ve barely any motivation left to play this league thinking of something new to try out on standart instead where i can throw money around and not be limited by RNGesus.

You guys still holding on to things they said they wanted to do 4 years ago while the game was still a beta and they were a staff of 7? You have to let it go.

That's exactly what people are doing - letting go. Everytime they say "new way of playing the game" "focusing on new end game". It's nearly the opposite.

New league is probably going to suck and be lackluster

There is nothing good about the lab. My builds laugh at that place and basically one shot izaro I still dont go there. What for?

boss too easy totally uninteresting fight
monster all get one shot
cant pause/trade with portals like real maps
astronomical odds on crafts so its not worth my time
no exp basically

its just not entertaining. But yeah if you're a glass cannon its even less entertaining because one wrong move and you're dead. All time wasted.

I think ive ascended 7 toons (2 to lvl 8) and been in lab less than 30x. The two last ladder i ascend went in exactly 4 times, 3 for the 1st and once merc for second guy, no more than necessary. Doesnt interest me AT ALL.

E: Last comment was unnecessarily harsh. Let me reword that. I don't have very much faith in their "promises" anymore. Wait n see what they come up with before any hype from me.

1200 Core malachai kills with 17 mods maps :D

Im hoping for parts in the new content that are not RNG or currency gated basically something you can enter with increasing difficulty maybe in combination with a ladder who got to the deepest level of that dungeon.

What really is missing in this game from a standard players standpoint are some areas/bosses which are freely accessible but harder than anything else in the game. Id be fine with no loot/xp drops there - just something to show off how far you can get.

I want some endgame challenges that require a long time preparation and understanding of the game. Even if it require a dedicated character to achieve it.

Is this end game focused towards standard? I don't play leagues.

Diablo 3 is inferior to PoE in every aspect, except how (end)game difficulty & reward can be tuned. Endless progression + scalable difficulty, instead of pay-to-play static difficulty maps in PoE, where you have to faceroll 10 hours of low content, to be able to play 1 hour of difficult high content.

For me, the Labyrinth turned out to be a nice change in design philosphy and I hope GGG will continue in this direction: challenging content you can always jump into.
