Sanctum for Ascendancy Discussion POE2

Honestly considering just quitting til they fix it. Being forced to do sanctum for my 3rd ascendancy makes the game completely unfun and more like a chore than a hobby

One thing I have noticed about the trials in poe2 is that they take a long time to complete. I think this might be the real issue with them because if you could try again and it only took like a couple minutes to complete I don't think people would complain as much when they fail it. I think the issue will get better as people get better at it but it still might be true that the time length of the trials might be a bit too long even after people get good at it. A way to fix this might be as simple as giving everyone the movespeed boon at the start of it that could cut down on the amount of time you have to spend on it. I do understand some people really don't like sanctum that includes me I personally don't like it because I have bad internets in my area and not taking chip resolve damage is harder with bad nets.

TLDR Make the trials faster might make people hate it less they kind of take a long time to complete.


Yes, the issue is the length full stop. I don't care if I have to fight a tough boss, or run through some challenge rooms, but don't make me run through challenges for 20 minutes and THEN face a boss with one life. It's sadistic and about as far from fun as I can imagine.


This is the thing for me as well.

I'll die 30 times on a boss. It's mildly annoying, but whatever. I can take breaks if I need to. But not with Trials. Nope it's all or nothing and it's usually nothing. Get DC'd? Start over. Have something come up? Start over.

Just bash your head against it until you win or uninstall. Or just pretend Ascendancies aren't in the game, which is what I've been doing.
Agreed. This is as bad idea as removing rolling mods from normal currency. Really a bad idea after another, the new patch 0.1.0e nerfs are absolutely horrible. They didn't even give us a week before they nerfed things to the ground again. What are we doing GGG? No really? I tough you know your players..

Fun story, I posted the concept for the exact system used for the sanctum map literally as a proposed solution to replace Lab, It was designed to give you more choice about how you navigated the difficult trials leading to your ascendancy similar to how lab already worked but a bit more depth to give you (more choice)

It didn't include honor or any of the affliction stuff but it's just kind of making me sad that the concept i had hoped would make the game better for everyone and spent all that time drawing concepts out for is causing so much strife in the community now.

It also takes me back to the HUGE effort by the community(Turtledove most notably the keeper of the masterthread) to have lab removed from the game which in large part was also added reason for my trying to push the concept in the first place it was meant to be the labyrinth expanded for a new age in a much more digestible format.

Honor is an absolutely awful mechanic, especially with the things that get thrown at you in higher floors. I wouldn't even mind the random whacky run-ending afflictions(no energy shield=gg) you get if the trials didn't go on for so long. 3 floors for points 5-6 is a little ridiculous.

just do a 75 ultimatum then, nobody forces you to step into the sanctum at all - I did my ascendancy completely in ultimatum cuz I hate sanctum with a passion back from sanctum league

How is sanctum worse than labyrinth?


Its not.

And its a great change. Sanctum is highly loved by the community and there is always the other option as well.

Pluss another one on the way. Cant wait.

Hope there are no carries as well

Sanctum is one of the most awful, boring and lazy mechanics of PoE 1 that almost nobody did, so gating ascendancies behind something like that is one of the stupidest things that GGG could've done.

I 100% expect this to be changed, absolutely no way shitty sanctum gating ascendancies can be the final decision.
