Trial of Ascendancy in this game FUCKING SUCK

Game is great and am having tons of fun! Please keep the ascendancy trials difficult!

I really don't mind the 1st 2 ascendancy points challenges. it introduces them to new players. It is still time consuming but not bad only going a portion of the mechanics.

Now since this is EA im assuming they added them to 3 and 4 just to be able to complete them. I think it will change at full release and have 2 other ways to get them. introducing other game stuff.

Thats my thought on it. -cheers-

I don't see many complaints about the 'difficulty', you're floating a strawman to appear superior .. the complaints are largely the GAMEPLAY with Sanctum having ZERO relevance to the progression process, at least Lab is very largely doing what you do in normal gameplay.

I finally got through 3rd trial today, max honor resist really is a big help, but also had some good luck with boons and afflictions. And I was running with a barya 20 levels lower than me that I had to go back into low-tier maps to get.

I don't really hate Trial of the Sekhemas conceptually, but it doesn't feel great in its current implementation. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to have a "just don't get hit" challenge in a game like this. Feels like somebody was dead-set on shoehorning a roguelike mode into a game that is decidedly not that. Maybe there's a way to make it work a little better; I kind of enjoy the aspect of planning ahead and trying to take the best options available to you, but sometimes you just get screwed with bad afflictions that you can't avoid. I feel like I just got lucky this time and never had to take one that was devastating. And I got Ornate Dagger which made the bosses so much easier.

Been a week since i put this down hoping it gets better. there is a fun base game here. i’ll continue to say the trials, one shot mechanics, and end game punishments are the most unfun aspects of this game. it’s a shame because i had a blast on the campaign.

So tell me please in which game are punishments fun.

Ass water
total
Ass water.


last time i got a tasty one shot right after the

You have no evasion curse.
Too bad i just wasted 40 minutes...

I actually am developing a hatred for the game.
I want to like it, i try so friggin hard to like it.

Im a character builder.
The gatekeeping in this game means i wont be building characters.
I doubt anyone will tbh.

Im already fixated on one character cause im not
going to do this crap with another that's for sure.

Which means the game is actually not for me.
I like fun
I like making characters
i like making builds

None of that is prioritized in this game.
Its a time wasting grinder for no glory.

I can leave it.

Honestly the whole honor system in ascendency trials purely SUCKS... the amount lost isn't fair, poison, traps, bosses, ffs a boss that force you to stand on poisonous slabs that'll drain your honor faster than a Thanos snap. I guess they are created with only ranged characters in mind cuz damn not getting hit with a melee guy is plain bullshit. They never though this mechanic through. It is BY FAR the worse feature of this otherwise fun game. I feel locked out of ascendency points by unforgiving worthless trials. basically copy pasted from one another again and again.

At least games like DS let you learn boss patterns and shit, this one is purely roguelike random reused shit. kills you and then ask you to start ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT TO FUCKING FARM 10H OR PAY YOUR ASS OFF TO TRY AGAIN. CUZ THE FKING KEY TO THE ACENDENCY IS A ONE TIME USE CURRENCY. THATS A MOBILE GAME GATCHA MECHANIC. there is no build to let you through this challenge. Unless you play a full meta character I guess. which is pure dogshit.

I swear if poe2 is poe 1 all over again with only 10 to 15 viable builds to follow online to exact precision I'll lose my shit. how can a game with so much customization possibilities limit player so much in their creativity.

This trial costed me 3 tries already, over 2 hours, and this is just attempting the trial, not even farming to complete it. I can accept the roguelike aspect to it, but the limited PAID entry just goes against roguelikes altogheter.

I was really missing playing PoE 2 so I went to install it again... but then I remembered how toxic it was to get your ascendancies. Yeah... not going to reinstall.

PLEASE GGG... get rid of this method of ascending! I really want to play this game... but I will not play this fail mechanic anymore.

GGG make Sekhema only 7 floor when you start second ascendancy you begin with only 7 floor after 1st boss, 3rd after 2nd boss and 4th after 3rd boss it will save time why do I need to rush all previous 21 rooms every time if I finished them earlier and beat 3 bosses to unlock last ascendancy points it is frustrating waste of time. Or let it start from last 7 rooms when player unlocked every 8 ascendancy points let me farm last boss starting from floor 21 to 28
