NO POINT in trials if I can buy my way for 1 div

I absolutely hate trial of suckmyass as melee.

However, if I'm guessing correctly, the problem is made massively worse by not having any other option.

It's likely we will have 3, maybe 4 trials to choose from going forward and the ability to completely one or two if our build cannot do them. If that's how it's planed to be, it should be fine. More content and more options is always the way to go.

If not, it would be better to remove suckmyass from being a requirement for ascendency points.

Trial of Chaos is actually way easier as melee imo. Trialmaster is probably one of the fairest boss fights in the whole game.

Indeed, but if I'm not mistaken, the (i)level requirement is higher for Chaos. Then again, having to be massively overleveled for suckmyass makes it relatively similar I guess.

For intermediate ascendancy points, perhaps. Final floor requires a level 75 token for either Sekhemas/Chaos. The flipside is that the final floor in chaos needs multiple high-level Ultimatums for the 3 keys, whereas if you get lucky enough with Relic drops/gear, one can clear all of Sekhemas with a single Barya.

Yeah, if u don't want to buy the 3 Keys for Ultimatum u're unfortunately bound by drop RNG. The first two times I got it pretty fast, but for my Titan it took me several hours to get all 3 keys. Still worth it if u're already having a good farm char.

U still have to run 1 full Ultimatum with ur to-be-ascended character to put the pieces in tho.

Being carried is like cheating during exam. Just pathetic.

But people no longer care about journey. They only want fast results.

It has always been that way since D2. Carrying services for bad players is common in this genre.

What most of you ppl don't seems to understand is the awfull time investment those trials need.
First you need to farm the key, which may take some time when you start maping.
Then you they are fairly long, especially for sekhemas, and if you fail at some point, you have to do the whole thing again from the start.
No checkpoint, only one atempt, if you fuck up on a boss mechanic you have to redo the whole awfully boring thing all over again, worst, you have to find an other key, so unlike a soul in which you can just try the boss instantly after you died to learn his patern, you'll have to deal with 30 minutes to 1h of unrelated bs to atempt it again, which is straight up frustrating.
I don't mind failing, but I DO mind having to be forced to deal with incredibly boring and tedious content before being able to atempt the content I actually care about, which can be said for all of the endgame mechanics honestly.
There's a good reason why From Sof decided to put effigy of Marika in front of every boss arena in Elden Ring, walking/farming your way back to a boss isn't skill related, it's a frustrating borefest.
That and the fucked up RNG system the game throws at you during those trials make them especially unfair at time.

It's so bad peoples are rage quiting over it, as I did in poe 1 when I had to deal with my last lab.
It's a shame, I had a blast during the campaign, even as a warrior, but most mechanics in the endgame feels just broken, to the point that most builds focus on one shoting everything before having to deal with any of them.

Why should the best jewels in the game be easy casual drops for everyone?

If content like trials(really miss you Izaro)can only be done solo then why have MP at all?

30 ex should be enough

Ye, dude got ripped off. My nephew paid 40 just yesterday.

Anyways, I'm not a fan either. Don't care to learn the mechanics, so I bought a carry and moved on to the things I find fun.

Your nephew paid $40 to be tested?

This must be bannable thing, to boost/escort carry.

This and party MF play has to be deleted from the game ASAP.

Turning it all into a cookie clicker for RMT single dads, who come to play for 15 minutes and want dopamine rush by swiping mastercard.
