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

The ascendancy trials are challenging, but the ones in cruel difficulty have left me with no desire to continue playing the game.

Here is my experience with the Trial of Sekehema:

1.) D/ced during my first run and lost all progress. This means I had to farm for 10 hours before getting another entry item.

2.) On my second run I ran into something I've never seen before and some bad RNG so I ended up losing all my honor on the second to last floor. This sent me back to farming for another 6 hours.

3.) Third try I fought the two Golems for the first time, got hit by one attack I wasn't prepared for them to do since I had never seen the content before, lost 800 honor, and now I must go farm for another 10 hours.

Frankly, I'm just not going to do it. I also suspect, that most people who are employed and have a life won't do it either. The gauntlets are too long, the debuffs are too obnoxious, and you get punished way too hard if you've never seen something before.

You either need to tone down honor loss by about 50% in these trials, or give us unlimited entry items. I'm not going to grind 20 some hours worth of entry items to grind my way through learning these trials.

So until this is patched I'm done with the game. I have other things in my life that demand my attention more than mindlessly grinding entry items.

Uninstalled this game until they redesign this elitist try hard farmer game. I am done supporting this company until they understand that the MAJORITY of us don't enjoy ruthless or sanctum. Not even Elden ring punishes the way this game does.

I completely hated Lab's in poe1 because they were so long and boring.

Today i was about to start playing poe2 but first googled poe2 melee state (as i've always played melee since poe beta) and well... stumbled across this thread.

They really decided a mode in which you cant be hit (so if you're melee you're basicaly done) is a great way for ascendancy?

What the hell?
