Honor mechanic makes me hate path of exile 2 already.

Im doing the trials for the ascendancy or whatever, and it has the honor mechanic.

I died at the boss with my friend who managed to survive getting his ascendancy because my honor hit 0. This mechanic i avoided in path of exile 1 in sanctum, cause unless you are ranged, or monk, I can't justify doing melee with it.

Its just straight up a stupid mechanic im sorry, but if this is how path of exile 2 is going i want my money back, I don't support this decision, and quite frankly whoever kept pushing it to be in the game needs be let go or talked to.

What do you mean by honor? It sounds to me like those dumb as hell Relic gauntlets you're only allowed to take so many hits on. Please tell me that's not what you're talking about. That being a major fixture of the game will outright kill what little desire I have left of this game.

You don't need to do the Sanctum version for your ascendency. There's the Ultimatum version later in the game that you can do instead. It does mean that you'll be without your class for a while longer, though.

Just don't do it, there is an alternative assendency method ( ) next act. You don't have to do scantum 2.0 at all if you don't want to.

I see this actually as bad design too. Forcing the players into two different and more tedious ways, just because the build doesn't fit the more or less required content?! Not a good idea for such existential parts like ascendencies.

I hated Sanctum so avoided it at all cost in POE1. I have tried it a couple of times and I am level 26 sorc and it feels like trash.

I understand there is a secondary way to get your ascendancy but it is poor game development to make people do one of the POE1 mechanics that people didn't enjoy as the first way to get your ascendancy. I know there are some people that love the mechanic but a most people do not.

It just sucks that I have to wait for act 3 to do Ultimatum which I am guessing is going to suck also.

Just hit this point myself, thought it couldn't be as bad as people were making it out to be. First half of the run was fine, got the death crystals twice which are pretty easy to avoid hits and had to kill 2 rares which wasn't to bad but took some hits.

What killed me was getting locked in a small room with endlessly spawning adds that won't stop till you kill the summoners, I couldn't get to them through all the adds and good luck killing the adds.


Its not a bad system but its a horrible system to put as your first opportunity, telling half the playerbase to wait an entire act is wrong.

lol I haven't even got that far and I hate the game already, good to know it only gets worse.

I second this.
It's a stupid mechanic for all classes to go through, even though it heavily favors certain builds over others.
This was stupid in PoE1 Sanctum, and it's worse now as a (semi)required mechanic for ascension.

Even then it wouldn't be so bad - still bad but not as much - if the boss didn't spawn very long-lasting volcanoes and rock-falls all over the map, leaving you with little to no way to avoid hits.
You're not allowed to get hit, no matter how much you can tank the damage, and you get a small room with no way not to get hit.

That's exactly what it is. And to all the people saying "just do ultimatum later"...lol...that's even worse.
