Ascendancy Trials in POE2 make the game completely unbearable and unfun.

Both ascendency trials are FAR OVERTUNED and NO FUN. They take way yoo long to keep doing over and over and over. They seem needed to progress your character as the points need to be spent to do the damage and defense needed for end game if we can make it there. THis isn't the uber end game boss so why should it be so overtuned it takes hours and hours to try and it is nothing but frustrating
There are simply too many weak-minded whiners and complainers in this game.

Too many weaklings, too many crybabies and too many useless and lazy incompetent and incapable lousy people who cannot face up to challenges and difficulties.

They are always complaining about the game is too difficult, the game is too long, the game is too annoying, the game is too much of slog fest, the game is too slow, the game is too clunky, the trials are too long, trials are too time wasting and too time consuming and too inconvenient, the campaign is too long. They complain it's too troublesome and too inconvenient to level up again a character from level one in the campaign.

They complain about the honor system. They complain they get one-shot and die. They complain about the rng of the trial.

They don't bother to learn about the game. They don't bother to learn the mechanics, and they don't bother to learn to play the game. They don't bother to read up on guides on youtube and websites.

They want hello kitty online. They want easy shit. They don't want to work hard and they don't want to put in effort and they want things to drop down from the sky. They want free, cheap, convenient, low effort, easy and just press one button and get everything handed to them on a silver platter.

agreed that the honour system is not fun and feels really bad to fail without dying. to repeat the same cycle over and over and just fail at the very end because of honour is not fun at all, it's a total waste of time. This doesn't respect players time at all. Also, the game have optimization issue on both console and pc, it's adding another layer of difficulty that a lot of time i die/failed at boss fight simply because of lagging/glitching. It's ok to be challenging, but at the same time the game needs to be smooth to make the challenge fair
trials suck and make the game un fun i agree

You just don't wanna learn and blame other things.

There's no lagging or glitching it's like you stood in a slam and you're like THAT'S A BUG!

The trials are horrible and it sucks that things are locked behind them. Every character I make I have to run temple of chaos 10-20 times for chaos resistance socketables. I hate it and I hate the mechanics, they are simply not fun. If they add TotA and force you to do it to get tattoos idk if I'll want to keep playing. There is not a single good thing about any of the trials at all.

Same as both seasons that ive played before the game is full of content and hype until i hit like 70ish maybe a little before and i'm forced to do the trials to get my ascendancy points and progress with my character build.
Worst part of the game by far and seems that no progress was made on making it at least bareable. Say tht this is unfun is actually a complement, its absolutely outrageous to have to deal with that honour management for three floors which each floor has like 7-10 rooms. i mean wtf?? i get that a lot of people do this and don't seem to be bored but why this has to be so annoying?
I agree but guys, this is like the 100th thread I am seeing on trials. Literally no one likes it.

Getting the first and second ascendency is fairly simple. For the third one, I failed chaos 3 times so thats almost an hour down the drain and decided to do sekemas. I spent like 20 minutes and failed at the end of the second floor due to bad mods.

I instantly alt-f4 because I was so pissed I spent 1.5 hours trying to do trials for my 3rd ascendency and got ZERO REWARDS. In fact I LOST EXPERIENCE. All the while it was the most unfun thing and I was gritting my teeth through it. I am getting worked up just thinking about it, might be a few days before I login again.

I've never seen such disrespect and hostility towards players. It's a freaking single player game with a chatbox I dont understand why they make it so tedious.
Can't resist reading those threads. Waiting for the 3.27 league start in October. Copium

I am not the best sanctum player. I remember that my first build was also a homebrew and i tried and tried until i got the vendor 1 room before the boss, so i bought the option that you can't take damage the next room.
With a meta build and some relics it should be very doable though. Remember with spark it was ez. When i last palyed the relics were cheap and minimum lvl 60ish tokens also cost nothing. To high level of the burito is also unnessecary difficulty.

Did 4 maps of trials the 3steps one. I hate it so much. Whoever designed this in product team seems to not ever play the game. Its super unfun mechanic it tilts me in a pve rpg game… . I am casual tourist player i cant play 10hours per day. I wanna chill and relax but this mechanic made me hate the game so much and its toxic
