When will Labyrinth be nerfed for non-elite players to get Ascendancy classes?

One word to "Lab"

Boring as Hell

I had problems getting through the lab ONLY because of the fact I'm using satellite internet with ping ranging between 700-900ms range. What I had to do was wait on an easy lab layout to be able to get through it. I still managed to get all my ascendancy perks. Someone with better internet than me has no excuse.
Way too long? takes me about 10 minutes for pure walking, even with bad layout. I don't sidetrack for those bonuses though.

Boss too tough? Using traps (not ice trap!) takes me ~15 second to take him down, longer if I need to kill off his mechanisms first. A shield double strike takes at most one minute of non stop attack.

Boss hitting too hard? switch to armor, they help against some traps too.

You are really crappy at it? find someone to do it for you, you don't even need to enter boss fight.

There is no reason you can't get all six points. The best record I ran with my friend are two lv 66s. One melee one spell. No help and did not need super gear.

You want to grind enchantments? make a shield melee, and enchant the items for your other rooms.
Just a side note here - lore wise, completing the Lab meant you became a fucking EMPEROR. It other words, it is not for wimps (LORE WISE). :v

So guys, it kinda makes sense that only ELITE (heh, heh, I still can't get used to my new title. Shiny. I didn't want it, but I don't mind. Who'd mind? This bracket is getting out of control, its time to stop... ,---,) players will able to finish it. Amarito?

Honestly I hate the entire concept of the trials/lab. That said I have watched a ton of videos on it and went for it for the first time today. It sucked every bit as bad as I though it would. It's simply not fun to me. I didn't download the game to dodge endless traps running around mazes. It takes WAY to long and you can't save your progress. I gave up when I got server booted for the third time today. Until GGG gets there shit together and has servers that don't kick people out they really need to look at the concept they have here. If I die, I die I expect that can happen. When I waste literally hours of real time because I get most of the way through and get kicked out to server boot that's a different story. I don't know about a "nerf" (I honestly think it needs it, but my opinion is based on the fact it's a horrible concept to start) but it needs some way to reenter it if the servers go to crap.

I know it won't matter to me, because I'll never mess with the crap again. To the people that love it, more power to you and I hope you continue to have fun with it. If they think this is going to draw NEW players, I don't think it's the way to do it but I don't get paid to make video games and they do so I'll submit to their knowledge on that. For me, I know the same thing that keeps me from playing HC (servers are horrible at lag/booting people) will keep me from doing lab again.


Pretty much exactly this.

I do not enjoy lab. I have done normal and cruel. It wasnt fun at all. It isnt about being too hard or whatever. I dont want to play a trap dodging game. I want to kill shit.

That said, having been server disconnected several times nearing the end is just infuriating.
Lab is okay, traps are boring.

You just need to learn Izaro's various mechanics and it's fine. PoE Wiki is your friend.

Harvest sucks! But look at my decked out gear two weeks in!

Seriously if after like 2 or 3 runs of lab and you still die to traps then you deserve it. Izaro himself is so slow you can easily avoid his attacks. Unless you play a max block tank character that doesn't care then by all means but otherwise get out of the way.

The only one thing that is worth complaining about lab is you get kicked out because of internet outage that you cannot control.
