Trial of sekhema is really bad

Im not sure GGG knows why their game is good.
Im not really being sarcastic here.

I get confused about their choices.

They seem to want a league based game.
They seem to want to encourage building multiple characters.
They seem to want to extend the time players spend playing per season.

Then do everything they can to make sure none of that happens.

I know EA
But there are many problems and the trials are only 2
I am not kidding at all when i say ascendancy

GIVE THEM AWAY!

Hi Alva what up ?
Not much here have all your points, done!

What exactly is the point of stopping a characters progression?
Why is the character gated in a game of random chance.
There is no skill to use, why is it being presented as a skill challenge ?

The trials the way they are guarantee game failure, period.
They are despised to the point people pay to not go near them.
Without being able to actually make characters... im gone.

I hate it

Everything from Trial 3 onward is udder BS with this trial.

Running a duo with my dad, we attempted a lvl 75 Barya tonight, both of us are level 85.
Everything is smooth sailing until we get to Trial 3, adding even more environmental hazards, as well as ranged enemies with high ground, a lot of honour loss feels unavoidable.
The terrain of the areas also gets tougher to navigate, adding in walls, etc. that you can easily get stuck between an enemy with, ending your run.
Last run I did, I got stuck in a corner and inevitably lost over half my honour (roughly 5k), we had zero afflictions.
I'm also convinced the ritual trials begin to spawn enemies faster as you progress, because I could one-shot everything being summoned, and then there's another mob straight out of the same portal instantly, making it borderline impossible to end the ritual, because it never targets the summoners, then once you do target the summoners, everything they're spending swarms you, and you either lose all your honour, or die outright.
We've loaded the altar with as many Honour Resist/Max Honour relics as we can.

They didnt delete those leagues from the game yet?

I said something very similar. I've got all but the last trial points, and i've attempted the final trial a grand total of Zero times so far, bc i hate the artifical difficulty, randomness, meta forcing, punishment-centric, etc... design.

I used to make many characters, it's the whole point of these types of games, but now i'm planning on making a single Standard League character and if i get bored of the game and and it doesn't last as long for me so be it. I have plenty of games in my library.

they not that bad
