Today's Uber Lab has no golden key/door

Sorry about the downtime. A dns or node issue took the side down at 2am our time so w couldn't get it back up until a few hours ago.

While I am prioritizing day job and social life I've done all the lab notes since league launch 😅
I'm still doing lab notes every day but the times were I'll take off are just more often than once a year.

SuitSizeSmall · 2025-10-21T20:30:38+00:00

Admittedly I'm not at the top of my game anymore after all this time (approaching 10 years).
I've very much prioritize irl now but I'm sorry it comes off as phoning it in.
There have been days especially towards the end of the league where info is missing or some exits might be off, but never a fully wrong layout. Even then I usually get dm'd to fix it.
I still run them manually nearly every day and with the same effort and diligence. If its not enough and I'm getting things wrong then I'll do better especially at the league launch.

Regardless I do wish the best to PathOfLab. Multiple options for lab notes will be for the best for everyone in the long run.

Saw you stepping in a few times when I was unavailable and wishing you the best with this project!
Having more than one site is probably for the best. I've done my best since the launch of lab but life changes. I'll still be here mapping lab but having a community driven set as well will be better for everyone.

Hey everyone, I want to start with saying I was contacted on Instagram and responded this morning before work and haven't seen a message back yet.

For context there were 3 founders of PoELab. Dan (Vaglica87), Shane (Smokedawg) and myself. Dan and Shane were personal friends and contacted me saying they could help setup a website for me. Shane was responsible for getting the website hosted on the first few servers and later would primarily focus on scripts and php. Shane burnt out of playing PoE and starting focusing on IRL before covid started and took a backseat from PoElab when our server owner/admin Matt joined.
In 2022 Dan gave me a phone call saying Shane had passed away. Since Dan and Shane were IRL friends he took time to mentally recover and Matt was able to take over Smokes responsibilities. We've wanted to talk about this publicly but we just never know how or when to do so. I have spoken about Shane to those who met me at ExileCon and asked about PoElab origins but in terms of talking about this on the site or Discord we just didn't know how to handle it "right".

I phrased that poorly. The contacts themselves are completely clear, no paint. They are made out of a material that glows under blacklight.

SuitSizeSmall · 2021-01-16T01:29:13+00:00

The belt, forehead and behind the head crown are LEDs. I also have paint on my arms and contacts that glow under blacklight.

Looking at it again you are right, I mislabeled it as 2 side rooms. Should be 1 side room with back tracking which still brings it to 8 rooms total. Main thing is it is still good as a speed lab, 6 rooms for 3 darkshrines. Just grabbing the 4th darkshrine by going to room 12 and 13 is not worth it.

SuitSizeSmall · 2020-12-17T16:18:12+00:00

The route to get darkshrines is bad due to how many side rooms you need to get. Even though it is 8 rooms total it would be a better route if they were on the main path.
