Why gate the new gems behind lab?

Then make lab drop random gems instead of gem enchants, its a massive content filtering for 99.9% of the playerbase.

You either follow meta builds or waste your time making the worst build in the game.


Same as helmet enchant was. You make it much bigger deal than it realy is. That way you can farm lab to sell those gems, the same way you could sell helmets. That just kept another option to farm. Normal lab takes like 3 minutes to complete on any build, you can farm those if its to hard for you on the higher ones.

Edit: no its not bad update. I like it.

This is an objectively bad update.


I cannot comprehend this twisted logic so I will just stop here.

Except its completely different because helm is one item, gems are items that have to be corrupted to be good.

Yes it is objectively a bad update.

Edit: also if you're a meta chaser I'm sure you will enjoy it, however it is objectively bad for the game by reducing diversity of builds.

No you cannot refute the logic so instead you will bow out.

Ah yes, because gems are useless unless they get that +4% more DMG from corrupting lvl 21. Bruh, just stop, you are emberassing yourself.

Imagine unironically typing this after your last comment.
Won't you just buy them like every other thing that is gated behind something that you don't enjoy? It's not as if people were out here farming there own alt quality heist gems.
We tested it extensively

Who runs labs? like 3 people? so who will run off-meta build labs? like 0 people?

Like i said earlier if you randomized it would keep trade alive, but if you don't it's killing build diversity on an astronomical level.
