Trial of Sekhemas is just unfair and not fun at all

Same experience here. Agree with the author of the thread.
This function Really doesn't respect my time, at all!
Why should I be forced to watch build guides, boss mechanics, tips and tricks or choose specific range-chars, when all I want is to play the game and have fun??
(And no, i'm not doing it without good relics or being to lowlvl).

Im thinking of quitting unless this gets fixed, reworked or gets easier.
Played for weeks on different chars.

It's unfair that I am forced to trade with the website to get the Djinn's Barya to unlock the Ascendancies, because I couldn't find any.

I have 2 full tabs and I stopped picking it up

--Making the trials hard does not mean they are fun.

--Personally i dont have any problem with their difficulty level. It is just
annoying and frustrating to start over again even after a fail of
one dodge roll

--I just failed 3 times on scorpion boss after almost an hour sweaty effort and
that killed all my will play this game again.

Please at least don't reset the progress we made and let us keep our will to
play your amazing game

I one-shot the Scorpion. Just know that the fourth boss has (at least) 100 times the HP that the Scorpion has. Fun, right? And the worst thing here, you will die to it if you don't have the 40% movement boon or one of the two movement skill that the game offers you.

Stupid fight is stupid.

Warrior here, didn’t get the movement boon and have 25 ms boots. Got through it fine

Good for you! You used Shield Charged or Leap Slam?

I have 35 MS and several MS nodes on the tree and have failed several tries. And this isn't a "get good" situation, because "skill" only forces you to take the shortest path, which A LOT of people are doing and still failing.

It is possible to get lucky with the orb placements, and it's possible to get unlucky. Bragging about getting lucky isn't a good look.

Leap slam would probably make it slower/fail

Just moving around and dodge roll


You can get horrific RnG with the orbs but still get though it


No on shield charge either

Just have to be quick

I've died 3x in a row to the 4th floor time boss and his stupid as hell one shot insta lose mechanic. Had over 15k honor all 3 runs trivial with some of the best boons. For those that don't know, there is a 4th floor. The scorpion everyone is bitching about is pretty easy. That's a build mistake or not bringing enough honor resistance or max honor on your relics. After I got those all floors are easy except the time boss. I get him down to roughly 25%health every time and then he spawns these hourglasses and makes your movement speed zero.... Then if you don't collect all 6? 8? Idk hourglasses within 5s you insta lose keeping in mind I have 30% move speed boots and extra move speed relics and a movement skill. It's entirely RNG where he places them and all 3 times he's done them in opposite corners for me which makes it impossible to beat.

Nerf the stupid hourglasses and just change the penalty for not getting them a chunk of honor damage not just insta lose after hours of work. It is just a waste of my time and I won't do trials again until it's fixed. I actually got so good at them from failing that I understand the get good people and the frustration of everyone else. I also got stuck at scorpion boy or even before him because I did not understand that I had to cap honor resistance and max honor. After that it was easy town until shit time boss.

I never thought I'd be doing it, let alone suggesting it, but here we are:

Pay for a 4th point carry.

You. Reading this, frustrated with this bullshit, pushing level 80 with 2 Ascendancy points, running through maps and killing bosses easy as pie. Yes, you.

Pay for a carry. Ask really nicely in global if anyone can help you out if you don't have 40 exalts.

Pay for a carry for the 4th Ascendancy. Skip right over the 3rd. Takes about a minute, while you stand there.

No more frustration. You can continue the game. Absolutely ridiculous that this is the most build friendly option for Ascendency, but again, here we are.

THere are so many broken things in this game right now...


EXP penalties (in a PVE game... ), ascendancies that are lazy one-size-fits-all content filler, Mapping is boring, no travel powers or mounts, respecs cost gold, there's no armory, you have to play the entire campaign every single time you create a character, etc. etc. etc.

It needs a LOT of work.
