If Early Access were free, I wouldn't buy the game based on Trials alone

I'm done playing the game. If I had known how fucking dumb these trials were on cruel I wouldn't have even played the game in the first place.

Who seriously thought that it was a good idea to make the trials this ass, and then force you to farm an extremely rare item to get one attempt at them? I'm just not willing to farm for 20 hours to attempt a bull shit trial, fail, and do it again 5-6 times so I'm out.

Honestly, I should contact steam for a full refund, but I try not to abuse the refund privileges.

Some people allege that this is the "vocal" minority, but I see no proof of that.

100 people out of a million is quite a vocal minority. Other than basic maths, what proof is there needed.

Not saying they shouldn't make changes though.

Those same people have been calling every piece of criticism since this started the "vocal minority".

That whole team decided…..yep this is a good idea 👍

They surely haven't played the final version with the ceremonial sentinels,it's insane that you don't have a single way to regain honor along the way,because of randomness , and face melee those bosses.

There is a quite easy proof to this statement, GGG can just release the number of players who did ascendency the 3rd and 4th time...

I'm going to bet that probably around 10% of players actually did ascendancy, and maybe around 90% tried to do them - that means it's a broken mechanic if the majority of players can do ascendancy but are not able to finish them.
Of course, you need to check the number compared to range vs melee cause I'm gonna also bet that range characters have a much easier time with ascendancy compared to melee.

I hate the whole design.

1. You need a RNG dropped token to even start a trial

2. If you die 1 time, the whole trial resets and you have to go through all the previous trial rooms all over again.

So, you have no opportunity to keep practicing the boss battle. You have to go in blind and beat it on the first try, or you're punished to go back through the all mindless lead-up rooms. And if you leave the trial, you have to go find another RNG dropped token to get back in.

100% stupid and unfun design.

We're not all twitch streamers with unlimited time to play the game. Let us have fun.

You need to use relics to modify the trial and gain Honor resistance and max honor. It makes trials 100x easier. Before I knew about these relic modifiers, I tried 3rd ascendancy 5 or so time and failed. After popping max amount of relics I could fit with honor resistance, I got it first try no sweat

Here's the problem. The source of your claim is actually your ass. So, once again, no proof.

Have you ever considered there are more people dissatisfied with Trials that DON'T vocalize their discontent vs people who like trials?

You're trying to argue that people will always voice whether thy like something or not. In fact, it's mostly the case people say nothing in either situation. This means more complaints about a topic is actually representing far more individuals who agree rather than oppose their views.

I'd bet real money there was a lot dissention within the team about this topic. I guarantee it, because most of them play the game.

Including it anyway was pure stubborn hubris - one of GGG's few flaws. I hope they acknowledge they were wrong, and fix it.
