Ascendancy Trials in POE2 make the game completely unbearable and unfun.

BUT I JUST DID THAT 3 TIMES AND JUST WANT TO GET MY 4th Ascendency. Idk who just tought that forcing me to do this 4th time is going to be amazing idea.

coulda done that the third time and not having to do it 4x

I'm completely out off this game after doing my first trial. I'm a new player and this mechanic is not fun whatsoever. Literally stacking a stupid amount of odds and punishment against you. Not being able to die would be hard enough. The honour system is just awful. I failed the boss due to honour, not being killed, as I didn't get a single path to restore it.
Why not at least checkpoint the boss?
I'm done with the game. Not interested in continuing knowing that more are required.
Shame I wasted so much on early access supporter packs for this

it's simple for me, if they keep ascendancy skill point lock behind those 2 mechanics (sanctum and ultimatum), i'm fking out of poe2, I don't enjoy these 2 leagues and i wont waste my time or money in this game since player progression to max ascendancy is key to every build.

agreed.

whoever came up with it needs to be fired.

any news about ggg nerfing the absurd honor system? im well over 80 and i hit wall mapping since im missing 4 ascendency points!!!

ggg plz release the statistics on how many ppl pass the trials solo (not pay to pass it by some decked out dudes) and not through bugs like my first haracter skipping 3rd trial and passing 4th so the quest was finished but 0 ascendency points (and fu_cks) was given

Don't ever take random afflictions. You avoid them, because they can brick your run.

You probably should have stopped right here and asked yourself, "why it is even possible to brick a run, if it is supposed to be a challenge that can be overcome by skill and knowledge?"

I have had multiple attempts where I was forced to take bad affliction combinations. Because if I didn't take those, the other options were ones that would effectively brick my character outright. The entire design should be thrown out in the garbage, it is objectively anti-fun.

100% correct. Just awful.

100% same here... played as witch /caster srs builds and ranger and everything was "okay" but now as a melee its unplayable...
it's no longer fun as a game and feels like work that is poorly rewarded.. I'm going to pause Poe 2 until there are major changes.. I'm still having a lot more fun in Poe 1

Yes I don't like trials. It's also quite confusing and buggy with the ascendancy skill points.
