Ascendancy Trials in POE2 make the game completely unbearable and unfun.
|
These are my exact feelings. I've loved the game and this completely killed it for me. To lock core features, the advanced class in an rpg behind challenge run content that is different than anything else in the game is just mind blowing. Trying to get points 4-8 is just not worth it. Its completely killed my desire to keep playing and to make a new character. What's the point of making a new build when you can never finish it. It's unfortunate but until they change this I'm done with this game and I can't recommend it to anyone else.

New to POE, and the honor system sucks ass in the trials. Gauntlet maps are pathetic and the stupid flame balls completely end your run.
Takes too long as well. Oh well. Won't be getting tier 3 and tier 4 ascendencies I guess. |

Well a coworker just uninstalled after I gave him an EA key. He loves ARPG´s but after having to do the first 2 and hating it and then knowing he had to do it two more times and had to do it on each character he just did not see himself spending full work weeks worth of time farming and trying just to get the normal character progression that the ascendancies are balanced around.
Personally I like the campaign and I like mapping on HC SSF. But the trials is what is keeping me from making any alts so when my current character dies I am done with PoE2 until this changes. |

Yes, unfortunately I feel the same way: I can wipe out high-level level 12 cards with my character, but fail here.
I've tried it for several hours now, but I always die in the 3rd room, because I only have high-level stones. I played through Elden Ring as well as POE 1 characters at level 99. I could live with it if the 3rd trial had level 60 and 2 rooms, then you could play the character at level 70 and then do that. Unfortunately, I can't finish my character as it is right now and will soon look for an alternative if it stays that way. Unfortunately, I don't feel like POE 1 anymore after POE 2. |

Fix for Bara trials are easy: damage from monsters should not remove honor, period. Add some other room related challenges, remove honor if damage received from traps, whatever, but not because of damage from monsters.
To be honest, I don't understand how devs with so much experience and passion to make "a new best of all arpg" came to the conclusion that this design is a nice idea. |

" Its the Roguelite dungeon. The general idea is to make a League content that plays like Roguelite games. Honor systems point is to make it so that you can fail the Trial without actually dying and losing XP or HC characters. That makes the system safer than Ultimatum which just kills you. This isn't the first time GGG tried to have genre hybrids, Blight league in PoE 1 is like a Tower Defence League mechanic in the game. |
