SET FREE THE ASCENDANCY POINTS (or rework the lab) [New ascension methods/lab rework ideas]

at this point im just fucking tired of labyrinth i rarely ever log off when im playing for long sessions but this is hell, i never go on forum and complain but this is generally bullshit and unfair, 3000 plus hours on this game never complain and always tried to help ggg with giving them money for cool stuff and now im just butt hurt by these traps the whole zone its self is bullshit i think im gonna just give up on ascendancy cause people in game charging me chaos and shit just to help me cause no one wants to do it half my friend list not even ascended. i don't understand the people who enjoy this shit, like okay for example pvp right no one dose it, what if ascendancy was in pvp?? people would fucking rage cause pvp is bullshit but the pvp lovers would be like oh naw brah its all fucking good

Thx all for joining the cause.

Why should AC be removed from lab you say? Why shouldnt it? Character customization is mandatory in a min maxing game, gating it behind something optional and obviously totally different from the rest of the game makes no sense, causing many problems.

Read OP again and ask yourselves, whats the problem unlinking AC from lab? Obviously those who like it will continue running. Even people who have done the lab (many of my friendlist actually) all told me that they rather not do lab ever again, cause its boring/unfun/frustrating/weird/alienating.

So even you people who shallowd your pride, grided your teeth and did the lab only for the AC join the cause, because the future generation of Exiles deserve a better game.

Whats the point of during the trials and the lab if you can get ascendancy points outside it?

According to some people, the Lab is super fun and l337. So awesome, it's a reward by itself.

This will fall on a deaf ears, thankfully. Ascendancy classes are not mandatory at all, you can play the game the same way and "beat" it without them (you can still play the game 2.1 style, ignoring the entirety of the expansion) and if you want to acquire them, git gud. So might as well stop with the QQ.

and 10 free exalts as well?

you (and your 4 friends that will undoubtedly join this thread in a minute) just cannot understand that now it is how it is

the time youve spent here whining for free stuff youd have completed lab 50 times (literally). if you do not like that gameplay - fine - do it only as many times as many ascendancy points you need

if you really cannot stand it - move on. if you cannot beat it (or it takes too long) - get better.

this expansion most probably is a sign of poe's 'more hardcore' change. chicken logout is no longer possible and a build has to be a 'build' not 'dps + logout'. i bet for many it is 'too hardcore' as the 'build is all about dps isnt it?'

That is a bit of an odd argument if you can just overlevel the labyrinth quite easily... well Merciless might be a bit harder.

Then go overlevel the Labyrinth and get your points easily. Except Merciless; that might be a bit harder.

Go on.

What I want to see is all movement skills apart from flicker and cyclone disabled in the labyrinth.

They kind of trivialize it. :-/

Mandatory to beat content absolutely no, im already 80 at PHC without AC.

But dont forget that in a min-maxing ARPG like PoE something so big of a game changer like AC stops being optional even if GGG made you think that way. Its absolutely the only thing that this expansion has to offer, more ways to customize your characters. But there is a problem, they put a frustrating/alienating/boring/unfun/unexciting/full-of-bugs arcade simulator between you and the AC points.

Every other expansion gated items behind their new mechanics and content, this one gates something much much more. If i ignore it i lose part of the skill tree. And i dont need to get good or better to beat this, since its really simple and easy. I dont want to get better for something that does not appeal to me, having whats behind it is the only thing that matters. If you are into arcade games im not the one to deny you your fun, but why am i forced to complete something totally different from what PoE is all about?

Ive supported PoE cause i believed (and still do) that it is/will become the best ARPG of all time, not the best Indiana Jones/Tomb Rider clone.

You are a man of reason Scrotie (from what ive seen in the forums), im sure you can see what our real problem with that is. If not let me quote an exagerrated but nontheless valid and totally not impossible example, something it could be easily be implemented if we dont take action

If GGG can get away with rehashing 1980's era video game content, and passing it off as fresh and new with the labyrinth, why wouldn't they do it again? Why go to any trouble developing new RPG oriented content, when you can trick people into playing a battletoads simulator.

If they get away with gating character progression behind castlevania er excuse me, the labyrinth, I totally would not be surprised to see the players forced to play some kind of golden axe campfire gnome thief simulator every time you level up, where you lose random shit from your stash for every gnome you dont smash.
