3rd trial of ascendancy - awful experience (again)

3rd was super easy. That being said instead of writing these silly posts just pay for a carry and move along lad

hahaha I am doing t10 maps and only got 4 ascendancy points so far, dreading revisiting the trials again I suck at rolling and dodging tough stuff!

I have to agree with OP. The trials are not fun. I wouldn't consider it challenging either, because challenges tend to bring out my competitive side that WILL win at any cost. I would consider trials as a tedious slog-fest. They feel awful and poorly designed.

I am also in the hate trials camp. Honor is simply one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of.

This game is made hard just for the sake of being hard, not to make it better.
The xp loss after 70 is garbage IMO, we are punished enough. Also, I don't relax and play games to be brutally punished. I have a job during the day already, thank you.

This is a one-shot game, not much else happens; you one shot until you are one shot. Boring. But to add ridiculous trials and death penalties in a game known for BS deaths just boggles.

Honor..OMFG man. Just OMFG.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I never found the trials to be THAT hard. Yes it took several tries for each one but to me it was hardly the big deal that I see people make it out to be and I felt super accomplished once completed. Got all 4 sets on my own. Being overleveled definitely helps.

There was a boss in last epoch (Lagon), who halted everybody's progress. He was quite difficult, but all of his attacks were well televised. Most people spent hours memorizing the attack rotations and their visual markers. Some people altered their gear to better survive. This was all possible because when you died you started back right before the encounter. It was a challenging encounter, and when it was over you felt a sense of pride. The boss encounter actually made you a better player.

Trials are not like that. You choke it down like nasty medicine and when you finish it you are just relieved that it is finally over. It's not the same at all.

They are not even planing to remove this garbage from the game. It's here to stay. People should just go back to PoE1 or D4, whatever they were playing before this.

You are really going to enjoy the 4th trial SOOO much fun!!!

This is bad game design. I just accept that there are only 4 points, anything more is just a terrible awful way to spend time. I'd rather do yard work than the trials.

Terrible, terrible design in a game that deserves better.

While I hate the trails for ascendancy I gotta call BS on the OP. If you actually have 75% honour resist unless you run face first into everything you can easily do the 3rd ascendancy even with an okay build and okay damage. Okay, maybe the 3rd boss can be an issue if you don't kill it fast enough.

Again, I'm not defending the trials themselves as ascendancy mechanics. Its garbage. But the 3rd is more than doable by a half way competent player.
