Am I the only one to skip trials?

I skip them sometimes when I have good mapping flow going on.

lab is the only really challenging aspect of this game, because it punishes failure. this is the only reason why people argue about it.

People that don't like lab are either bad at actually controlling their character... or spoiled by playing OP builds to the point that they find it extremely irritating not to be able to whirling blade though everything. Some of the lab things take a very methodical approach if you want to do them without risk and there will be people that find this annoying. To each their own.

People usually enjoy difficult stuff and like to be challenged, it's not because some lab stuff succeeds at being tedious that they are interesting or fun in any way (to most players anyway), if it's your thing good for you.

Also, if I wanted to play a platformer I would stick to Super Meat Boy, it's a better platformer than the lab.

It's even to "each of their own".

Lab utterly fails at having traps since it's nearly impossible to actually run through to the traps and not get hit by anything. They designed specifically overlap many traps as possible (why does uber lab have ton of circles doing bad stuff to me while I"m going through it constantly?). So the best way to go through them isn't "getting gud". It's teleporting through them as fast as possible so you take little damage as possible.

Only difficult parts is the bosses themselves, and the lab itself isn't amazingly designed like an actual platformer where you have fun playing through it. GGG forte isn't designing those type of games so I don't know why they overloaded on the trap part of it so much.

There is literally nothing challenging in the lab, except avoiding to get 1 shot by fully charged Uber Izaro.

Hurrdurr my 1 shot mechanics, such interesting gameplay, many hardcore.

Idk why people die to traps, because they fall asleep ? they lag ? have no regen ? It doesn't matter, I'm sure they wanted to play an Action RPG, not a cheap ass platformer.

Which is this basically, dark souls have traps/platformer sections to it but it adds to the gameplay and level design of the game.

Random ass gauntlet of traps isn't interesting, it's arbitrary. Final fight with boss + traps is interesting, moving the pillar + fighting monsters and avoiding traps = interesting.

They could had done a variety of things to add to the ARPG from the game, but instead they add this extremely disconnected + feeble attempt for some competitive speedrunning BS.

Ok I'm new to poe and I havent experianced everything but to me lab is awesome because you cant teleport out like a bitch. It doesnt matter if its not perfect but damn i crave more of dungeons like it.

Every time i change difficulty lab is only thing i look forward. Everything else is time waste since teleport makes everything too easy even when it shouldnt be.

I actually like lab, it has different refreshing playstyle.
And Uber trials give you Offrering, which is basically 3c - no point in skipping

Great another "i dont like this part of the game" thread...

Labrinth is amazingly awesome. Just because you suck at it doesnt make it bad.

yes your the only one...a lonely minority.. are u happy now? feel special?

Lol, what are you talking about? Suck at doing lab? Come on even my grandma could do this shit and the guy you are attacking is a great theorycrafter that has prooven his knowledge/skills about the game many times. There is a big difference between not liking something and sucking at something. I'm able to do the lab while watching movies but I still hate it with all of my hearth.

early league i skip trial with my crap gear, but quickly i like run my trial. Add some fun between spam spell on mob. And with hight ES or life regen very easy.

Still mapping and waiting to find the last 2 uber trials.

i collected about 12 offerings and now i skip every trial...
Perhaps sometimes i play and try to get the 2 points but with my build (whispering ice) the advantage of the 2 points is not high, so i skip...
