Chaos Trials rewards - REWORK

Why do these ITEM rewards even exist?

at current state its just pointless bloat that gets filterd out

SUGGESTION
- make gear/weapon be 20%quality base or higher (elite base standard/sockets)
- let player corrupt the item base by choosing Modification rolls each stage of trial
- AS-IS version; remove corruption & make item base base Elite max socket' (since we farming soulcore socketables only makes sense)
- or baseline solution: JUST GIVE ME GOLD or a plain Vaal/Chaos orb ffs ANYTHING

Yes, just like they should give up with corrupted strongboxes or rogue exile corrupted gear...

I would run it more often if i would get more soul core. Remove other rewards and give me 2 soul cores per 4 rewards instead.

Or as you said, just a vaal orb is better at this point.

I dont enjoy much trial of chaos and prefere Sekhema by a lot. I could consider learning to enjoy it better IF there was more soul core rewards.

see - I PERSONALLY cannot stand 1 thought of running Sekhema Trials
(if i wanted to play Prince of Persia dodge obstacle course game-i wouldnt ARPG)

but
I love running Chaos when I watch movie on side screen
&
THE ONLY PLACE this game doesn't consume entire player attention/life to grind

cant say there is any other place in this game u can passivly do OTHER things as grind.

Guaranteed gonna be some 1 shot wonder out the blue somewhere,
as mentioned

a year into game early access- ONE WOULD THINK this would be addressed by now.

on that note,
The well of soul 6 unidentified desecrated mod corruption is AWSOME feature,
Therefore my suggestion for TRIAL Corrupted item is a LITTLE different.

IN perfect world U would take item from Trails & Finish it off at Temple Room mechanics instead dropping me pointless trash currency i dont even click TAKE
......because it opens my inventory and i have to manually close it lol
too much work for trash i dont pick up.

---- since its in the same Vaal 'theme' mechanic to tie in with Chaos trials
there is room for Improvement further

but thats too fancy of an idea for now

Lets AT LEAST fix baseline mechanic of reward here for now

We defenitly need more option to do something else than just maps all the time. And we need multiple options so everyone can find something at them taste.

I'm patient so i'm just hoping for later =)

Yeah that would be a nice idea really. Doesnt have to be full choice but like the well of soul with some options.
Corruption is useless unless you choose what you corrupt...

I got some extremely rare uniques i wanted from corrupted strongbox, let's say it left a salty taste in my mouth... (no sockets, no quality)

agree,

at current state the game ALWAYS requires players FULL ATTENTION as if people play games to invest 100% attention span for hours..

lol

IM sure they see their age demographics & have to realize people got LIFES,
and accommodate with VARIETY of ways to let player choose level of his "avilability" to enjoy the game
- over getting frustrated not knowing better missing 1millisecond dodge out of slam

there ya go,

in reality it makes entire mechanic useless lol
even if u win - u loose

However I started with Trial of Chaos rewards since it ties into the further discussion on auto-corrupted rewards otherwise might as well not exist
personally,

I've scored soooooo many GG rolls gambling on the 6desecrated well of soul unveils.

best of all now,
YOU can quality the item 20% and over ! if u REALLY want gamble
on a Item base YOU choose.
Makes investment of 6x potential Abyssal Echos THAT much more acceptable.

Love Well of Souls lol.

I always take my bad Anulmen items there after trying to erase a deadmod
since already quality up
& didn't sell on market for my bare minimum - one way to clear junk.

then if THAT wasnt enough corruption - DOUBLE SLAM lol

I swear Well of Souls > PoE2 lol

At very minimum offered by Trialmaster items should always have 20% quality and max sockets, then the corruption on them should be done as omen of corruption would be used.
