I will likely quit playing before i try to ascend again.

I do not enjoy Roguelite/roguelike games, and the is exactly what the trials are.

I work my butt off but make one mistake and get sent to the beginning. Fun for the masochists, not for me.

It's an ARPG, please make these trials optional or remove the rogue aspect from them.
come on guys, at this point you are just complaining to complain, you are bad at the game at very basic level, I did 3rd ascendancy with a warrior (before the nerf of the trials, which is supposed to be uber hard bla bla bla) and deadeye (obviously easier than), I didn't get the fourth cause i'm done with poe2, the one attempt per map is not for me, but I doubt the fourth one is much harder than the third.
3.23 was the best league of all time (an absolute banger)
Sounds like you don't have any input to this other than "git gud" so i will ignore you from here on out.
Casual player here. I love this game, its one of the best games I've played in a long time.

I can't understand how GGG can make such an outstanding game and then ruin it with the Trials.

It is like they are shooting themselves on the foot if they plan to cather to casual players.

Hopefully they will remove the trial mechanics before release. THEN it will be the best game I ever played. Until then, I will just avoid the torture of the trials.

Bump on Trials rework.

I did trials one day, I had no idea what was going on. I had to read someone's web page to even begin to understand what to do and I'm still not sure what I'll get out of completing it.

IMO players should not need external information for general game play.

Rework Trials or PoE2 is doomed.
Sanctum and Ultimatum are the worst two PoE mechanics for many players.
I don't really understand why they forced them in ascendancy, instead of making brand new friendly mechanics for ascendancy like the Labirynth was.
"
I cant believe how much i hate the trial of sekhimas and having no other option to ascend is such garbage. I dont belive gatekeeping such an important part of the game behind the trials is at all going to impove player retention,

I am level 75 and lost a level 66 trial after one shotting every boss and mob through all stages except the last final boss fight. the scorpion just hides underground and i never once got to practice or learn a boss mechanice i just died and lost all progress and will to play.

i am really dissapointed and feel my time was comepletly wasted and that i had absoulty no chance of a fun or engaging fight.

The trials are an absoulte chore and i dread having to run another 30 stages just to get two points that should be avalible on level up.

Thanks for hearing me complain and i pray to god someone with rank changes how bad the trials are.



Just pay someone 1 Divine to do the 4th ascendency and that's it.

The entire idiotic system is bypassed. The game allows you to buy anything. What is the point of playing something annoying? To annoy you... because it's challenging??


You know how I would make the Trials?

Beat 5 bosses in a row for example. Second, beat 10 in a row then 20!
This would have been 10x more fun and challenging in the same time.

You are not alone. No one is going to do these trash ascendancy 4x a year. Not anyone with a sane mind. Not a chance.
Path of Ascendancy 2
Level 94 Invoker in SSF, all 4 ascendencys unlocked.
I struggled at first on my 3rd and 4th ascendency, but a little time grinding, rearranging some gear and skills was enough to get it done.

If you cant get the 3rd trial done by yourself at all, you should see that as a sign that you need to improve both your build and your knowledge of the game. It is not that hard!!!

To be fair, i think both trials and chaos chambers are already overnerfed and to easy currently.
