Who else is not going to play PoE anymore because of the lab?

I quitted because the currency exchange rate is dumb af. The drop rate is low af
not playing poe coz of the lab? lol.. as mentioned by many ppl before, the lab is absolutely not needed, if you skip it your char will just be as it was before the ascendancy update.. but well, running the lab once to get the ascendancy points is absolutely fine, but what i cba is to farm the lab hundreds of times for the enchantments.
i could also life with that but when i farm the lab to get a helmet enchant for my ranger and from 5 runs i get 4 times the SRS buff.. then its just a waste of time and i stop doing it.
so imo only the enchantment part needs to get tweaked a bit and maybe they cud look into a solution about disconnects and losing the lab, thats annoying too.

i dunno how someone can die to traps anyways, they are so easy to avoid if u dont just run around like a headless chicken.

I think the more lab haters that leave the game the better, so we don't have to listen to the whining anymore.

Btw, only bad players whine about lab, and the real concern is that you lose progress if you DC, that's bad. But again it's the internet, technical problems may appear.


No. I'm not a bad player, but I hate the lab. They are easy to the point of being faceroll, but they are just plain boring to run. Time gates don't work in hack n slash, and that's all the lab really is. There has never been a point where I completed a lab run, threw my arms up in the air, started celebrating, and thought that I was some mad skillz pro gamer. It's more like "holy shit, glad that turd's outta the way. Now I can get back to grinding".

There are many things boring in PoE, it's your opinion, that doesn't make it bad or anything.

Well if player don't like lab , it is easy : don't do it .
For ascendancy point wait lvl 80 and do it with regen life , flask against bleeding, it is a little challenge , and for Hardcore : train you in standard.

It has only few pattern of the room , you can also have help with web site Poelab ( thanks for this good site )

Ascendancy is link to lab , if you dislike labyrinth don't play with Ascendancy class and you retrieve Poe before Ascendancy ...
It's a completely optional bit of content, other than the 30 mins or so it takes to get your points (maybe an hour or two for the final 2 points this time) but the actual grind part is completely optional. It's less content/time invested than a single act, for a much greater reward.

Plenty of people enjoy it, but they are too busy enjoying playing the game (what 90% of the playerbase does) than spending time on game forums. *That* (forum users) is more of a niche playerbase. Anything posted on forums, positive or negative can be taken with a grain of salt since it doesnt represent the playerbase directly. You can say 6, and i roll a dice and it lands on 6, but that doesnt mean you saying it repesents what i'm going to roll.

That said, the people that dont like it do the min required (asc points) then stop. The people who do like it continue playing in the labs. They are the majority. no question, hard fact.

Good one, made my day! ^^

No wait... you really believe that, don't you...? Say that in the face of 6 ascendant points...

===

BTT: +1 for "lab is cr*p"

(man... to think Brodiro gets removed but we keep that [skipped becauso nothing nicely would fit]...)

The worst is imho that this class thing is so toally "un-PoE-ish" in general. That's why I only really played Scion/Ascendant so far, as that at least in itself somewhat keeps that.

Uh, so you don't like ascendancy classes, yet you complain it's being gated? And that it's not optional?
