Yeah, the Trials were the one thing about PoE2 that I was nervous about. Sanctum, Ultimatum, and (presumably, since Karui) Ancestors were all leagues that didn't immediately go core in PoE1 for good reasons, and none of them were anywhere close to being my favourites. It looks like there were good reasons to be trepidatious.
Solid feedback, OP, and some excellent suggestions about an approach which might address things. Happy to bump this one. The artist formerly known as Waitubold. Taking the Lord's name in vain since birth, basically. Last edited by NicknamesOfGod#1810 on Dec 13, 2024, 6:32:08 AM

yep, the honour system needs to be removed

agreed 100%

If it were me I wouldn't remove the honor system entirely, I'd just make it not a failure condition if it hits zero. Then at the end of the trial give some bonus keys or some such based on how much honor you have remaining, so it's still something players are going to want to engage with for better rewards but it's not required to suddenly play entirely differently to succeed at all.

I think literally everyone is in agreement with this.
I would add that trials 3 and 4 are not very well explained ever in the game, you kind of have to guess when to try for the 5-6 and 7-8 points, arbitrary level of the tokens? They added some text saying you will get points, I do the trial, and I do not get points, sometimes every token says it will give points sometimes none of them. Enough said about the mechanics themselves especially sanctum style honor system which is especially annoying with blood mage as your extra life pool has no visual at getting decreased and it counts towards damage taken so it makes it even more confusing to why I have suddenly failed even though my hp globe has not moved. |

Fortunately now that people have cracked how to beat 3rd consistently, you can get carries for as little as 4ex. No shame in that, especially since we will be seeing a different ascendancy system in next major update. And if not, well ok, 4ex again no worries lol. |
