Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - SET FREE THE ASCENDANCY POINTS (or rework the lab) [New ascension methods/lab rework ideas] - Forum

Lab is amazing, I fucking hate doing it, but that's the point. You're not sure you can do it, but you come out as a winner. "Gated content".... yes, just like shaper, red maps, specific uniques, everything else in the game. How is it gated content when 2/3 of the people pay someone else to do it? You mean like shaper, red 8mod maps, paying for uniques? everything else? It's a skillgate, or "willing to play the game" gate	Posted by h3h3sucks#6260 on Feb 27, 2018, 3:38:57 AM Quote this Post

I agree with you that complaining about all the dislike / hate / derision that keeps being directed at lab is quite the dead horse by now. PS: Lab still isn't a fun part of the game for a lot of players and lore for lab doesn't make sense. This thread does a great job of pointing out a variety of options for making the game better. But it's not dead. It's still a very big issue in the game for a lot of people. Most trap mechanics are so broken that people make builds just to bypass them. How crazy is that? For something most players won't go back and do again until the next league starts. I think most people would be okay with the lab if you could walk in, fight Izzy, get your points and leave. Then, let those who want to run the remainder of the Lab for keys and enchants or maybe some powerful bonus to go for it. It would probably be an embarrassment to GGG to see just exactly how many people would not finish the run for keys and enchants, which is why it will never happen. That said, let the trolls attack. You might be right about the embarrassment angle. GGG took the worst associations of the word "trial" and turned trials a boring set of repetitive platform mini-game "challenges" before doing each form of lab and the worst association for the phrase "Ya gotta earn it" and made lab feel like work. That must not be easy to swallow. Now that prestige classes will finally leave lab in 4.0, will GGG get it right this time or will they find new ways to repeat old mistakes?

I support OP's opinion 100%. Ascendacies should be awarded while leveling.	Posted by manituan#2188 on Feb 27, 2018, 5:36:02 AM Quote this Post

I would like that option much more than the current method but would personally like some of the other other options listed in the OP a bit more. I have added your name to the list of people that support a fix for this and similar sentiments voiced in the forum, now at 980 account names long. Over 370 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 970 posters in support Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!	Posted by Turtledove#4014 on Feb 27, 2018, 9:33:00 AM Quote this Post
Why is this thread still alive anyway? No way at this point is GGG going to cave to this demand. Nor should they. Why should someone get points for content they refuse to do or can't do for whatever reason? Equivalent to me demanding they give away free uniques because I played so many hours in a league. Not going to happen. Should NOT happen. Where would the thrill be if they just gave you stuff? Free points? Free currency? Where would it end? Love the lab, hate it, or all points in between (that would be me) it is here to stay. Censored.	Posted by kolyaboo#7295 on Feb 27, 2018, 1:41:41 PM Quote this Post

This is an important thread. Keep it alive guys! Did you already had the point that it maybe a good idea to shift one ascendency point to kill shaper. Right now there is not really something like a quest reward for killing him.	Posted by Wp_blitzi#6053 on Feb 27, 2018, 3:19:56 PM Quote this Post
What do you mean no reward for shaper? Never seen the sword? The flask? Censored.	Posted by kolyaboo#7295 on Feb 28, 2018, 12:35:16 AM Quote this Post

By a billion miles. Like the rest of the simple-minded people that are pro lab. I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready. Last edited by Pyrokar#6587 on Feb 28, 2018, 5:23:17 AM	Posted by Pyrokar#6587 on Feb 28, 2018, 5:22:28 AM Quote this Post
