General Discussion - Who else is not going to play PoE anymore because of the lab? - Forum

I liked playing Frogger at my first games console "Philips G7000" but POE Lab is a pain in the ass for me. I´m to old to play things that I dont like.... A chance that GGG change it? I dont think so. The older players could remember, we needed 1000 pages of discussions, that GGG give us the choise to chose now our loot allocation... Chris wanted some hc feeling in sc, fine, it is his game. But I dont like it anymore. +1	Posted by Kaleidi#5343 on Jun 5, 2016, 4:06:45 PM Quote this Post

Would it be right for an ARPG to gate vital character min-maxing content behind a fishing simulator? Not as good as rhoa racing but I wouldn't mind... Just like when you asked before in your thread.

I don't mind the lab but I think it shouldn't be the way to get ascendancy points. I really dislike these traps in hardcore. Maybe I just suck but Merc lab and end game lab seem a bit too tough for the average player, at least in HC. I think it should only be used for the treasure and enchantments, personally. I would like it to be like Atziri, totally optional content that doesn't affect your character. Lab feels mandatory when the ascendancy points are so crucial.

I'm done. I dreamed of the lab being removed (I'd actually like to play what PoE old school was, not this unavoidable fucking maze cancer simulator into a 1 shotting boss it has become), and they actually added another one. If someone can recommend any (real) arpg, I'd like to know.	Posted by dovrak1#6551 on Jun 7, 2016, 10:47:15 AM Quote this Post

This is what PoE has become: Navigating traps is a classic part of the dungeon-crawling genre. Cope and adapt, or continue making inane comparisons between frogger and a 3d video game. You may be surprised to discover that spacial navigation is one of the founding components of video game design.	Posted by Tykero#1712 on Jun 7, 2016, 11:50:33 AM Quote this Post

I recently learned a phrase "design flaw", and I really like it. It lets me easily shift focus from my preferences towards whatever object I currently perceive. With this superb tool we can further forge arpg genre into a well paced treadmill and move away from awful relics of the past like Tomb Raider and Frogger.
