Vault Traps explanation

PC General Discussion

Ok so situation is this:

Blizzard tried to mimic Labyrinths from PoE, as a lot of people admire PoE.

And now all Diablo-Casuals are crying, beacuse they are forced to THINK instead of run like a monkey.

That’s it.

What I heared from streamers and the chat of those streamers is, that the Lab is the worst part of PoE. Why not copy a good part?

Except that surviving the traps is completely trivial in d4 and getting hit by them just waste your time / remove your rewards. It is horribly designed. Like, I couldn’t have designed a less interesting mechanic for a season if I specifically tried… not to mention the Lab is the single most hated mechanic in POE.

Sir or madam, are you implying that monkeys can’t dodge traps? Expect an angry letter from the DEHTA.

Lab used to just be something, to get your “acendency”, it was just something you had to do, but this season it carries a purpose and i personally liked it alot. I will agree before i would never really think of lab as anything fun or nice, but this season it changed.
So i think they probably tried to mimic PoE’s seasonal theme, but PoE has depth, itemization, complexity and 100’s of builds. Meanwhile diablo has 0 of that.
So yeah their seasonal team really screwed up, putting rocks into a robot seems like something a child would come up with, instead of fixing the core game, itemization, depth, complexity, build diversity.

Did you just assume his criminal justice system? Be prepared for a caning.

You think these traps are hard to avoid? Avoiding them isn’t the problem, the problem is they slow you down and stop progress.

Doesn’t require thought. It’s just bad game design. ARPGs are not meant to be tedious or played slowly. They are fun because they are fast paced and chaotic. These traps are lame. Running like a monkey is more fun dude.

I had to look up a vid of a monkey running to refresh my memory but I just tried it and I can confirm. It’s more fun than all these tedious traps.
