Changes to the Labyrinth
" ChristinaAnn, thank you for voicing your opinion on the labyrinth. That is that PoE could be improved further in future release by making labyrinth truly optional. I've added your name to players voicing similar opinions to the list now at 912 names long. That includes 116 or 117 names from just this thread alone! As the list grows longer our voice grows stronger. Over 330 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 910 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!

" Since these are the only coherent portions I could discern, you prove my point with the first portion, someone needed a service you provided it, someone offered rewards. Regardless of if you take them or didn't take them, people still felt as though YOU PROVIDED a lab running service. The 4x content you are mentioning, not the same... If I ram my head against that content no matter how long it takes, how often I have to do it, I am never told ever... to restart the content in it's entirety if I do so much as disconnect, run into lag, servers crash, gaming server reboot while I am on my run... none of that occurs. It is a distinctly hardcore element within a game I haven't chose to play hardcore elements in for years now, glad you like it hooray. I don't. And Idc if it's removed I stated that already, I care that it is not impeding my enjoyment of the game. GG, GGG! I can finally be the flamethrowing psycho Marauder I've always dreamt to be! Wish they had a hockey mask MTX & a gore scorching ray skill gem MTX mmmm one can hope!

My issue with the labyrinth is the instability. More than half of my failures in the lab were due to random disconnects, lags or game crashing. This machine and internet connection have been driving many other online titles without any continuous hiccups of this sort, so at this point I am fairly confident that technical problems on my side are not to blame.
That said, I understand why people feel that ascendancy points should not be gated behind the Labyrinth runs and whereas I like challenging content, I don't think that Lab is even fair in its current state - where you just get booted from it due to no fault of your own. The only change I'd consider (other than eliminating flaws of technical nature) is to let people continue their lab run after dying, with limited attempts like in regular maps and without the rewards that normally come with it (the enchants, treasure chests and whatnot). This way, people still have to earn their ascendancy points and can't just throw their bodies mindlessly at the enemies, but won't be pushed to ragequit because they disconnected before the 3rd Izaro fight after spending 30 minutes clearing the place. There is no path.

The survey given to beta players for lab is problematic in its construction. Essentially, it doesn't deal with critical issues that the following sample questions do:
Q1: Rate labyrinth on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 = Not enjoyable at all and 5 = Very enjoyable. Q2: For what reasons do you go through labyrinth? Please type "yes" next to all that apply. 1. To ascend 2. To enchant gear 3. To level up 4. Because I enjoy the time I spend in labyrinth Q3: Roughly how many times do you run labyrinth, on a per character basis? Please type "yes" next to the best response (approximate guess is fine). 1-4 times 5-10 times 11-15 times 16-20 times more than 20 times There are plenty of other questions that might be helpful to inquire about. If you're squeamish about asking question 1 above, which you might be because you can safely anticipate a metric ton of low scores for lab, then you can use questions 2 and 3 as pretty good proxies for the extent to which lab is disliked and hated by players. Getting that feedback might not be fun, but at least you'll be in a better position for internal discussions about what to do in the future, concerning lab. 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?

" When you die in a regular map, the game allows you to portal back in, either starting from the beginning or close to where you died (this, of course, has limited attempts). The mobs you've killed remain dead (do not respawn), thus your progress is saved in this manner, until the instance resets. To clarify, the reason I objected is because you misquoted. I appreciate your efforts regardless. There is no path.
