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

I don't really like the lab myself although I have done it a number of times. I can make it through the traps and kill the boss although I do have high lvl characters with pretty decent gear on standard.

However, the problem as I see it is that poe is a very complicated game now, far more so than when I started at beginning of open beta. As a new player I would feel like a need a poe degree before starting this game.

I don't know what the answer is sadly but I can imagine how the lab could be the final straw for a lot of new players especially when compounded by unstable servers/connections.

My only advice is to persevere, its not a race, unless you are racing of course.

I have mixed opinions on this.

On the one hand if someone is complaining because trap damage is proportionate and someone can't faceroll traps because of how durable their build is, then I have limited sympathy.

However I will admit that perhaps adjusting Izario could be done because he can be an incredible pain for people who aren't incredibly great players. I managed to beat him on normal and cruel after a few attempts, but he does seem a bit harsh to have that ability that sends your character to the middle of a trap on the 3rd fight if you're a melee, but uses that heavy damage charge attack if you're too far away from him, and limited room to evade between his snare ability and traps on the 3rd fight.

I would say leave the traps as they are as I do enjoy that element of keeping players on their toes regardless of their build, but I can see making Izario more manageable for players that are decent to good players, but not elite players who farm Aziri for boredom on a regular basis and / or people who lucked out and stumbled upon some great gear to make the fights more managable.

I am far from elite player and I managed with shitty gears.

After one of updates, I cant do lab anyway, because I`ll dc anyway. Made a topic about it, but ofcourse it was ignored.

Thanks God I managed to make my Ascendency before that op update, that made me pretty much non lab player.

So yeah, lab is not hard, its the game that makes it hard.

I wish all those tryhards that complain that the game is too eay would try labyrinth with a CI or low-life char.

Did it with Low-Life, worst case scenario (Guardian with high amounts of Life, so I've been taking ~50% more damage than regular character) Guardian. Wasn't that hard, too.

Also, GGG already said they will do something about it.

People who find the labyrinth too hard and can not get ascendancy classes should consider playing D3 instead. Like seriously, you learn the mechanics once and after that you are good to go. Seeing people crying for nerfs because content is too hard (hint: it is not) is simply infuriating.

Learn to play. /thread

My opinion:

Lab experience for everyone is affected by a bunch of factors(hardware related, build problems, unstable server etc - you list your reason).

In my case it was decent. I like the labyrinth itself. I just didn't enjoy the trials since I had to search for them all over the acts in 3 difficulties. The labyrinth itself is challenging and I find it fun(and painful and tedious at times) but once you learn the mechanics it becomes less confusing.

Compromise that I can think of in support of players that hate Lab:
-Maybe GGG can take the ascendancy points out of the main Lab and just grant the ascendancy points in each difficulty if the player has completed the 6 trials on said difficulty. I think everyone deserves access to the ascendancy classes :P.

Why are only super elite players allowed to have Ascendancy classes?

Players with normal playing skills (not uber/elite players) can't complete the Labyrinth (kill 3rd boss) as it is currently designed.

Please fix this asap.

not sure if serious.

Did you ignore the trials or start doing this at a high level ? Aside from the one in the catabombs, the other trials are all in places where you're questing making it easy to do a long the way.

The ''super elite'' players still gets me every fucking time.
