GGG, When will you change Lab Jewel Rewards?

Posted: 17 Feb 2021 08:47 AM PST

I love your game GGG, but every league I wonder to myself, what's going on with the Lab Jewel Rewards (Emperor's Mastery, and the others).

These jewels are rewarded to the #1 Fastest Lab run of the day. The problem?

It's been the same person winning everyday for years. He even got banned multiple times but this is a free game, so banning him is no help.
It's fine if they want to gate an item behind the best performance from a player. But when you are at a disadvantage because you don't have PoE on a Ram Disk and you're not playing on texas server for optimal loading times, it becomes pretty ridiculous.
Attribute stacking builds are becoming more meta, and if they want to access this jewel, the system needs to change, considering there are only ~90 of them in a whole league.

The Solution?

Just make the lab jewels drop in lab chests, like the Izaro's Turmoil unique and Death's Door.

Make them rare, I don't care, but the current system is horrible.

PSA / Bug: Gorgon-petrified isn't the same as Replica Rumi's petrified and it affects the challenge.

Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:08 AM PST

tl;dr at bottom.

I tried doing the Kill-Gorgon-While-Petrified challenge and something weird happened: Although I killed the Gorgon while being petrified (and I was alone in the map) I didn't get the challenge. Multiple times.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJvd9G4faOw

I'm doing the following in the video:

Equip Southbound and get rid of any cold damage and DoT.
Bring Gorgon down to 1 HP.
Cast Storm Brand on the boss
Press Replica Rumi's Flask (with 90% inc duration from Harvest)
De-equip Southbound

As expected the boss dies when Southbound is de-equipped, but I didn't get the challenge, although I'm clearly petrified, can't move and have the petrified-buff-icon in the top bar.

Wait, buff icon? Shouldn't it be a debuff? You're correct.

When the Gorgon petrifies you, it appears to be a stacking debuff, which is displayed in the debuff-bar, below the buff bar. The challenge requires you to be afflicted with the Petrified debuff which cannot come from the Replica Rumi's flask, but only from the Gorgon itself.

How to do the challenge then? It was already posted on reddit before. Just use Kaom's Roots, look at the Gorgon while it's doing its petrifiction skill, then kill it normally while the debuff is active (about 5 seconds). You have to look at the Gorgon to get the debuff. It you turn your back to it, you won't get debuffed, at least I didn't.

So, GGG: If "petrified" has two different sources, meanings and consequences, they shouldn't be named the same. The challenge needs to be reworded to include "petrified by the Gorgon", because using Rumi's Petrification to petrify doesn't work.

tl;dr: Replica Rumi's petrification and Gorgon's petrification are different. One is a buff, the other is a debuff and only the latter counts for the Gorgon challenge.
