TRIALS...

Yeah we tried it coop, got to the boss and failed. Tried a few more times and then decided to just move on and skip trials for now.

The honor system is the worst thing I have seen in poe. Genuinly the one mechanic I actually hated in poe 1. And now they decide to make it part of such a fundamental aspect of poe 2. It doesnt help that enemies in general are more spongy and you have to chip away at their health. Labyrinth was also horrible but this is on another level. The average and below average players are the ones that need the extra help from ascendencies. Thats why I think it should be more accessible.

This point I am agree with, if they are too weak to get ascendencies, playing without them could be not what they need. Not sure how to solve it though without removing fun (for many players) challenge. Maybe GGG will come up with some cool ideas.
Actually, there is no really a problem, because it will be much more accessible after third trial will be released. All people will get 6 points without hitting a dead barrier, and there will be 3 options to get remaining 2 points.

If you think the 3rd trial will be better you are dreaming.

On my first impression I thought sanctum was bad, and I'd be happy with Ultimatum......boy was I wrong, never thought I'd say Sanctum is better than anything. I dread to think how insanely unfair the 3rd will be
Easiest way to say it..


They
Are
Fucking
Trash
The devs forgot that in PoE1 we had massive power creep, pantheon, 100% spell suppression and what not and still, some builds could not do the pinnacle Sanctum or Ultimatum content. And here, we have those as "part of your mid character progression."

Let's just admit that it was a mistake and untie the ascendancy from this content that should be optional. I am waiting any moment now to see the announcement from GGG.
The fact GGG was delusional/clueless enough to take one of the most disliked/unpopular mechanics in PoE1 (Sanctum) and made it a core part of PoE2 gives me very little hope about the future direction of this game.
Yeah, i feel bad complaining about the lab now, if i had one complaint about poe2, its ascending

Still making up my mind about most the game. Only 2 things I intensely dislike so far.

1: They said we'd get enough craft mats to craft during campaign. I have not found this to be true but they are already addressing it (YAY!)

2: Trials. No... there is nothing I like about them and I think they need to be tuned way the heck down since we need this to progress. As much as I am enjoying the rest of the game or still making up my mind about some things... my feelers in regards to the trials are pretty clear. Currently hard stuck on the second one even though I'm about 10 levels above the suggested level.
totally agree this trails are so unfun. bad gamedessign/decison as ranged its ok but beware to do it as a mele char
