Am I the only one to skip trials?

6 months ago these f'n mazes GGG calls labyrinths turned me right the f off the game.

So I come back thinking yay new expansions new drops new mechanism new fun. I was right. Had some fun right up until i thought to try these f'n mazes GGG calls labs. So f'n frustrating.

I'll be the first to admit I am terrible at puzzles and friggin' seeriously dislike mazes. But f'n hell. I friggin' gave up again after an hour of f'n around in a normal friggin' lab.

I was trying to follow the daily lab reddit report but found a room with three exits and none led forward. Three exits are indicated on reddit with no secret passages. I was probably longer than a friggin' hour trying to stumble my clothie way through this f'n thing.

I just want my Necromancer and I will never again set foot in this friggin' thing again.

gah

ya i'm bad and ya i need to l2p and i probably need to suck it up and try again but f i feel a strong, strong, strong dislike of mazes. And the thing is, true 'labyrinths' are the complete opposite of these lessons in perseverance. Walking a proper 'labyrinth' is a journey in self-discovery. You find yourself in a labyrinth and lose yourself in a maze.

I suppose I will find a Necromancer in this maze but bloody friggin' hell.

It's the real problem: To put a barrier of kwnownledge a bit before the act 4 in normal. It makes no sense at all.

1st off, how is that a barrier when it is not mandatory in order to continue to act 4? I never do the lab when I'm in the current act 3. If you want to do it you can, but no one is forcing you to do it immediately.

Also, labyrinth is not HARD. it's ultra easy when you know what you do, geared or not, over leveled or not. But when you are "ignorant", it can be extremely difficult, even undoable.

Aren't you noticing that this is true for almost all of the content in the game? Why would labyrinth be a pushover when you need the same prerequisites for merciless, for maps, for atziri, for shaper? It is the essence of the game to research and inform yourself about the encounters if you want to do them flawlessly.

My cousin who seems to enjoy the game would never get into maps if I don't force some knowledge on him, let alone do Izaro. He already died 2-3 times in the lab on his own and will probably need my help in order to finish it, but why is that a problem? He is having fun discovering new things in the game, so that time is not "wasted". No time is wasted as long as you are having fun. And frankly, if the game is no longer fun for you you might need to find a new one, not bitch about it all day long.

A constructive criticism post would be good enough, but this constant yapping about how people hate lab is really disturbing. Even if they decide to change the current situation it won't be because you keep playing the game and are feeling bad every time you go though lab. They will do it if you provide some feedback on their game and if you stop playing it (which will be beneficial for you if you instead have fun with other games).

Problem solved. Well this seems like true journey for self discovery in your case. You seem like you never player anything more difficult then sims when this is hard. So use this to discover other side one that craves challenge.

the vocal minority thinks that the labyrinth is fine. Be disturbed if you want, nothing will change, ppls will complain because of this or that. They can do it, listen if you want or move away.

And i'm fine with the other parts of the game, i love PoE and i want it to improve. not to regress with bad things like the labyrinth.
