The lab and trials are stupid and generally causes me to stop playing sooner when I encounter them or after doing them to progress my character.

Thank you for voicing your feedback to GGG on the labyrinth. I've added you to the list. You're number 683 on the list. This is the list of people that have voiced an opinion that the labyrinth needs to be improved or made optional. I'm hoping that it will be resolved by GGG in the 3.0 release coming up early next year. As the list grows longer our voices grow stronger. Over 280 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 680 posters in support

Please note that the Median for the fastest times to get through the labyrinth are currently around 20 minutes for the normal difficulty. These are the FASTEST times for the character on the list for that day. That means that when the labyrinth is done multiple times then it is the fastest time. There are Internet Trolls running around telling lies that one should be expected to complete a run through the labyrinth in 15 minutes, 10 minutes or even less. This is a ridiculous lie that the same deceitful trolls keep repeating. Chris Wilson stated prior to the labyrinth release that it was expected that a run through the labyrinth would take 45 minutes to an hour. This was based on characters not designed for running labyrinth and players that run labyrinth very little. It was not based on characters designed for running labyrinth and based on players that are making multiple labyrinth runs per day. It is best IMHO to ignore these trolls.

Here is the time of someone who doesn't run the laby often, on a char not designed for laby running, only for the ascendancy points.


The layout was good that day and because of that I ran it probably a dozen or more times trying for an enchant. The longest time it took was roughly 10 minutes on merciless (not uber).

It's amazing what you can do if you take the time to learn the mechanics and apply yourself to getting thru as fast as possible. Which seems to be what you guys would do if you hate the laby.

i know that it is wrong and bad karma but it makes me somewhat happy to see some people literally wasting weeks of their own life fighting for something noone else cares about

go listen interview with jonathan - lab is here to stay. it is different on purpose. an alternative to mindless click-click. you do it - you get candy. you do not like it? tough luck

and do not tell me about game loosing players - you are still here (and several guys with their alts as they are too proud to admit their 'quiting' was just drama)

So in reality, that day it took you around 100 minutes plus to do the lab. how many more minutes were spent on the external site getting the layout? Add that to the total as well.

O shit man dont forget the min it takes to look at the layout at poelab or checkout the reddit thread, i mean that shit takes FOREVER
