Ascendancy Trials Feedback: Understanding Player Concerns

+1 COMPLETE TRASH SYSTEM

+ 1

Truer words were never spoken.

Only thing worse than the single life per map is ascendancy trials being completely broken and not at all fun

+1 bump thank you for this

I feel betrayed when I read no lab in poe2 and then buy the supporter packs...
This is what I get I guess when still buying into early access and not just waiting. Lab was the quitting point from the first game and will be from this game too if this torture mechanic is what keeps players from getting to explore late game.

yeah, not being able to get more ascendancy points because i'm at the mercy of RNG is the first time i've thought "okay, i might not actually keep playing this game."

i've been loving it so far because i trusted that other things would see tweaks to ease up some of the pain points (like the checkpoint change). but i'm really not going to want to make new characters and try new builds if i have to go through all of that for ascendancy every time. getting screwed over by RNG when you just want to unlock a fundamental part of your character is not fun.

Zarohk in T4 Sekhema is way too much for fourth ascendancy. I just lost on honour with him at <5% health after he made an easily avoidable attack unavoidable, after spending an hour getting to him.

He overlaid the large moving circle attack immediately followed by the circle that teleports you into the center, teleporting me ontop of a time mine. It shredded about 3k of my honour while I was utterly helpless to do anything about it. This feels like boss mechanics that can be overlaid in an entirely RNG way to just end the run that makes it absolutely unfair.

I'm level 90. I'm running MoM with CI, 3.8k mana, capped res (honour as well). The trial was level 75. I have 35k sheet DPS on spark, which is much more in practice since I also have a +20% qual level 20 archmage gem with that 3.8k mana. Should I be struggling to do this content? Is this what the vision is for fourth ascendancy?

I can farm T16 10mod level 82 zones, but I am absolutely struggling to get my fourth ascendancy.

I feel forced to do Sekhema's as well since the past four Ultimatums I've completed have rewarded the same Fate. I guess I'll just have to drop a div or so on my missing Fate and then hope Ultimatum RNG doesn't shaft me during the ten floors, because some mods make certain bosses undoable unless you can kill them in <3 seconds.

I thought this was POE, not Slay the Spire or Balatro. Playing POE the ONLY thing I feel should be purely RNG is the loot. Not my core character progression. It was never RNG to progress your character and should not be.

This system is horrible.

+1 from me too

Or you could have watched the presentation.
