Trials of ascendency are now worse POE2

Replayability is one of the best features of PoE. Making a game mechanic that harms this, and one that is completely based on luck, mandatory in the game, is GGG's way of shooting itself in the foot.
I must have done something wrong because I had to of the ascendency coins before I went. I used both coins and didn't finish on either. Now what? I have to go back and grind for more coins? I see some people saying you get multiple tries on the first ascendency, but that didn't happen for me. Bug?

Also, doing this on melee is stupid; they want you to play melee as ranged or lose your honor...
Yeah they should remove honour, it's not really fair for all builds.

trials need to go. its the worst part of the game
As a melee class this is by far the worst. This entire weekend has been a repeat of try and and give up on ascendency. It's gotten to a point I give up half way through it.

It just sucks the entire enjoyment of the game to a point I am not even in the mood to play it anymore.
I'm not excited by the prospect of doing the absolute worst mechanic they have ever made (for me).

I thought they were gonna make something completely new.... they just removed the novel lab, which was actually signficantly better with a MUCH worse interpretation of an uninspired and pushed league mechanic.


Reused league mechanic is the worst reused asset i've ever seen in a video game to date.

I expected the new lab to be something new, not just shoved onto some hit or miss RNG bullshit mechanic from yesteryear and yestergeneration.

I'm here for NEW ggg, where is the NEW lab? (Something NEW)

I can't understand how people are okay with RNG based ascendancy. OOPS, bad RNG, gotta go again!... what kind of masochist enjoys that? If I die or lose whatever, if the path bricks my build based of pure 'fuck you in particular' then it's just disgustingly lazy uninspired design.
I've tried twice, died twice, on the first acendancy and I hated sanctum in POE1 so for heavens sake could not believe they put it here. I never did that mechanic because frankly it wasn't all that fun and I barely ever made it to the end. While I wasn't a big fan of the POE1 Acendancy, a least you can sort of work through that and it didn't seem as long and there was plenty of ways to recover. Can't imagine trying to do this without any life regen. :(

I guess I will have to pay for a ride as I can't seem to do thing myself which defeats the purpose of playing this game.
i just got a carry for it. merc lab carry is only 5 exalt on TFt. save yourself the frustration and get a carry. GGG is the most stubborn company ever, they will not change trials no matter how much people hate them
