Trial of Sekhemas is just unfair and not fun at all

100%

did 2 floors with difficulty
and failed at 3rd floor 6 times and finally bought it

never tried or bought the 4th floor
and got to the endgame without problem running 15-16 maps
and i wont run it ever


trial of chaos is worst for me too so from few tries to map 6 and never beyond i wont touch it again

Yeah these trials are absolutely a giant waste of time and are so aggravating they are game quitting mechanics. Twice i got to the last part and got killed by a scorpion. After hours of careful play having to start over from scratch losing hours of progress feels absolutely horrible. One ultimatum set and ONE sanctuary per ascendancy upgrade PLEASE.

This is really atrocious mechanic in this game. You loose 30-40 min to get one shot by some hidden trap or other monster - not to even mention if you have e.g. spell build - whole screen is flashing and you can't see anything. Already lost few hours for this garbage.

Yeah.., I am really sorry to tell you guys, but my feedback on this one is that this kind of ruins the game for me. Trial of Sekhemas.. *sigh* should not be mandatory to achieve Ascendancy Points. And No.. I don't care or want to learn the dodge mechanics. I would rather just playing a different game then. Its just too boring and frustrating a f.

Please listen to the casual gamers, not the Tryhard-Gamers on this one.
Thanks.

wait till you get fked by the 4th floor boss with the fking hourglass mechanic. legit a waste of time and angering that i get him down to 1/4 life and get screwed by the placements of the objectives with 4k honor left. I failed 3rd floor many times, wasted many many hours, but the hourglass mechanic is horrible and extremely frustrating. I will not waste my time doing it or trying it again.... 2 hours of my time to feel cheated and unaccomplished no thanks.

I totally hate the trials in PoE 2, frustrating, angering, time consuming and make me not want to do the ascendancies, I was lucky to get the 2nd one and I've been trying to do the 3rd one since I've been level 70 (Im currently 76 on a sorc) and I still cant do them! After spending an hour doing the first 2 floors just to reach the 3rd one on Sekhemas I ended up getting my honor burned out (even with almost 50% res relics) by a rare.

Im honestly tired of trying and I dont want to pay to get it run either. I also refuse to run them in another character, I'm done with those trials.

Bring the labs from PoE 1 back! They were challenging, yes, at times frustrating, but still enjoyable! These ones, they are a torturing nightmare, not fun at all.

I completed the 4 floor trial on my warrior, which people say is bad and clunky, without any issue. I think I had like 70% of my honor bar left.

Anyone complaining about this trial just needs to get good honestly. This is not PoE 1, you need to dodge stuff

Guy above me is saying poe 1 lab is challenging? I can't believe the stuff I read sometimes. Some people man...

Just had an experience with that, feels really frustrating. I made it all the way to the end, just to get my run bricked because I didn't have fast movement speed or movement skill. This is so unfair and infuriating I had to stop and think if I should even continue playing. I can do everything else well, but this hourglass thing is just a spit in the face. At this point I rather just pay someone who min-maxed their build for this run and never actually do it myself ever again. Its not fun, its not challenging, its just long and frustrating. Players should not be penalized for their gear stats (if they are logical for their build), we have enough RNG nonsense leading up to 4th fight.

Trial of Sekhemas is terrible obnoxious content any way you cut it. Sure folks can say "get good" or "it was easy for me" - cool and good for you.


Bottom line is this: Trial of Sekhemas is content you would expect to find in a game by developers who have not played their game (or the content that was put into the game). Content like this and the people who defend it actively drive people away from the game. It's unfun. Nobody wants to do it. And it's forced content. It's content I'll probably only touch when I need to then never again and that's probably a fair statement for the vast majority of players. Why is it in the game?

I find the trials are THE BIG ISSUE with the game right now. The scorpion boss is just so frustrating. It's ok to have a challenge but it's way too punishing. I hate spending 30 minutes to get to him only to get obliterated and having to do it all again.
They should give us a few tries before ending the trial and having to do it all again.
It's not as if the levels to get to the bosses are fun. They are the least fun thing in the game. It's painful.

Having said that, the rest of the game is awesome. I'm having alot of fun.
Now, we wait for the "gEt GuD nOoB" and the "gO tO d4" comments.
