PoE 2 - I hate trial of the sekhemeas so much

I havent come as close to chunking a controller out of the window as when I tried to ascend on my 3 & 4th trial......so effing annoying. either they need to up the honor or make it so you dont lose honor on the boss fight.

Looks like they are going to address some of the issues on the next patch, but I doubt it will really be enough. I hate the honor system, and I hate that it's stopping my class progression. I am done with POE2 until it's either removed or reworked.

Okay 3rd Ascension is absolutely ridiculous. I hate this shit so much.
You have to go through 30 rooms and fight 3 bosses all with the same honor an Afflictions. Last zones the mobs are way fuckin crazier than before. I had full fucking honor and lost literally more than Half to a fucking tea pot that shat out some smoke AND I WAS ROLLING!!!

Please make the Trials optional… I hate that game mechanic!!!

I am glad they tweaked some stuff, buffed melees, fixed issue but I sincerely believe that the trial of the Sekhemeas presents multiple major issues within PoE 2. For one thing, its design doesn't lead itself to be as accessible for one build as it is for another. Anywhere else in the game, I can take it chill, let my life regen do some work to palliate for distraction I might have, but not here. Speaking of life regen, this stat is arguably worthless, yea your life pool still benefit from it but it doesn't directly help you achieve what is essentially a fundamental aspect of your character progression. I think Sanctum was very liked by a lot of players for good reasons but at this point, I would prefer they make it a stand alone game and bring back Labs. I feel bad for thinking that way having a vague idea of the work that went into this but man...

Worst mechanic i've ever seen. 1-2 random hits offscreen and you fail dat ****

Yeah I have to agree here. Sanctum feels not fun whatsoever and now it's required even makes a near amazing game with PoE2 just make me not want to play. Honour is an awful mechanic, far too many afflictions that can brick your run, it takes too long as well, and it's just not fun.

Why remove lab which was a very unique experience to replace it with old league mechanics most people didn't like? You couldn't expand Lab or come up with something else unique to ascend our characters? I have gone through 8 trial keys all failures with capped honor res due to various rng shenanigans.

+1

Get rid of this garbage and replace it with a series of quests to complete your ascendancies.

This sanctum bullshit made me quit for now, spending hours in third ascendency sactum trials just to get completely trashed by some white/blue mobs in the third floor and having to start over again. Absolutely hated sanctum in POE 1, still hate it and after 5 failed attemps I'll just accept POE 2 with this shit might just not be the game for me.

Back to POE 1 or another game for me.
