you dumb down your game, you get playes who can only play dumbed down content, just look on reddit how that turns out eventually.

But you still can do those Trials before going to the Lab. They're not removed. It's just optional to do them.

the question is why would you do them? will the offerings you get be worth it? does cadiro spawn in uber lab content to make it worthwhile?

nope.

Not complaining, but my understanding is getting wierd.

- " we want to reduce de global speed in the game ".

- from 8 region to 4 (to get to end game faster).
- people will do all labs "day 1".

So overall, the game is getting more easier to do it all and they kinda remove end game goal of min/max from people because either theses expanssives builds dosnt exist anymore and the concept of legacy item/stats seems to not be part of the game anymore with their "temporary skill tree called clusters" and changes of stats like from mana resrved--> reservation of skills--> reservation efficiency.

I'm really surprised how many people have issues with understanding what GGG explained in excruciating detail already: They want to make the gameplay slower (aka: not being able to clear maps in 45 seconds), but want to make the progression faster (aka: less regions).

It becomes easier - as in faster progressing - to see all content in the game, but doing the content will take longer.

And just as an aside: For probably 99% of the players min-maxing is absolutely available and for most of them even unreachable. The min-maxing you talk about, min-maxing worth several mirros, was never something the average player did or cared about. You literally complain that the 1% lost some tools, even though they certainly won't need them to still succeed.

ouch,

can't say i loved the trials but even playing alone i never had problems finding the trials in the first 2 weeks.

is this to cater for the ssf crowd? or for the unskilled part of the community which wants all challenging content removed?

the argument, that players were facing more difficult content where they needed the lab points before they solved all trials is moot. if a player is unable to conclude from failing at difficult content that he needs to improve his char he is in the wrong game genre anyway.
what's next? teaching players on how to hold their mouse?

since when are you so careful to not have players fail on content?

in the worst case solution you could have certain maps (or map types) have certain trials fixed like you did with workbench recipes already.

i would have rather expected that you made all lab completions mandatory for ingame process to kill bots. it's a trial after all.
