change this shit away please

no point

I agree, these are HORRIBLE league mechanics that never should've made it into the base game. It's like GGG learned NOTHING from POE1.

Because they took all the worst bits of POE1, & brought them over to POE2, but got rid of all the best bits ... leaving us older players going "wtf are you doing?" lol

I honestly have no idea how anyone at GGG thought these were a good idea for ascendency. It almost feels like whoever made POE2 never played POE1, which I know isn't true, so it leaves me quite baffled at how you can ignore a decade & a half of player data, detailing exactly what players enjoy & what they don't & then double down on the trash.

It's mind boggling =)

trials are the worst part of the game and i guarantee you that they are not going to change them because they are that stubborn

For the first, second, and third ascendancy, I will say that it is partially "you" problem because with enough gears, you can beat the trials with ease.

But that doesn't change the fact on how bad it is to ties ascendancy class with Sanctum / Ultimatum and soon ToTA without a sliver of considerations in changing on how they worked in conjunction with how combat works in PoE 2. There are no controls over which and where affliction / tribulations that going to spawn, the mechanics heavily favor spell caster and ranged build, and how they become PoE 1 difficulty level of content when you outgear them. These trials are basically if you are poor, and no gear, then you suffer. If you outgear them, no meaningful combat happen, burst everything without aiming.

Everything is conflicting with each other, the game wants you to be playing in more methodical combat approach but the content punishes you severely if you play like that. The trials become a joke when you outgear them but then what happen to the more methodical combat approach ? What happen to the "dodge things" when you can get over 5k of Energy Shield, over 7k of honour, and playing ranged build that requires no close combat approach or the braindead aim anywhere spark build ?

This is not just with ascendancy trials btw, the endgame is truly like this. If you don't play offscreen clearing build, no aim required spell build, not playing ranged build, not playing Deadeye with zoomy movement speed on top of Tailwind evasion on top of Winward 35% damage reduction on full stack of Tailwind on top of insanely broken lightning rod damage, and you playing in trade league, you just basically gimping yourself.

What happen on not making PoE 2 like PoE 1 ?

Im starting a meele character in SSF, aside from 4th ascendency im sure it will be easy, because I actually learned how to run sanctum instead of just crying about. All I need to do i run it a couple times to get some relics, get my armor values high enough to get 10k+ honor base and really after that its going to be pretty easy.

IDK why people are expecting to just run it raw, not read afflictions, not get any boons use the merchant, go in with piss gear with no defenses so starting honor is trash, not bother with relics, and play like shit and cry.

btw for 1 divine or probably even less now, you can just straight up buy the 4th ascendency from a runner in trade league. All you do is stand afk for 1 minute while he kills the last boss, you don't even need to run it with him. People bought lab runs all the time in PoE1 even 5+ years after it came out, so people still couldn't hack it in lab either or just wanted to pay to expedite the process.

What the hell is wrOng with you. Im gonna tell you something to you and every fucking guy who talks about gear and being prepare.
I played poe1 since came out.
I dont follow any guide like a stupid retard player who cant read stats in the passive tree.
I make my own builds for fun and make those builds to reach tier 7-10 maps
AND YOU KNOW WHAT!??
I USE LAB TO TEST THOSE BUILDS.
If my build cant stand every lab in the exact tier level that my character is, i discard the build and start again
I know when my build is doing right because i can run and kill Izaro in lab level 33 wheb my character is level 33, lab 55 when my character reach level 55 and so on.
I dont need to get good gear or every other shit you are talking about.
I know how to play a computer game.
This trials on Poe2 is just GIANT DOG SHIT with no sense of difficulty level or nothing.
It has to be remove and fast!

IDK i just beat 3 floors on my SSF warrior with 2.5k honor and virtually no relics and barely any resist just using a +3 1h and slotting my skill into a totem. In trade you would have 3x better gear and easily get +4 more gem levels on top of what I have.

I was 80 and the token was 65, but I mean is it really the end of the fucking world I had to wait 2 days from being level 65 to go knock it out?

Now i just have to wait till my build is strong enough to do either boss for 4th ascendency, probably be a week or so but i mean unless you just plan on playing a character for a couple days its not that bad.

People are blowing this shit way out of proportion

I've enjoyed the game until this, now I have almost 0 interest to continue. I don't want to repeat this boring part to continue in the progress.
BTW I kidna like it in POE 1 which means GGG made it much worse now :(

I love how people are saying they're too hard and in the same breath mentioning people are selling them. That only says that there are people that have a skill issue and some that don't.

You couldn't be more wrong.
RNG game says you don't get to play the skill card brah.
100% RNG = 100% NO SKILL

That was some super skills on that paper rock cisor.

Trials are garbagio..
One simple trick the dev's don't want you to know.
its all about one shot or resource starvation that you can't avoid.

Wonder why people will pay for a carry.
its dirty ass.

If there is a market for people to sell carry services for something, it means a substantial amount of people are unable to do it, which is bad since it's a core mechanic every character is expected to do, not some uber pinnacle boss.

If it wasn't many people with the issue there'd be no carry services as there wouldn't be any demand. Since there is sufficient demand for a one off per character service, it means a LOT of people are paying for the carry, which means an order of magnitude more aren't but are also struggling. I would argue the majority haven't done their third let alone fourth ascendancy.

Sanctum Honor system is stupid and automatically bricks half the classes/skills. Ultimatum is insanely over-tuned.

Yes


funny moment was when tried ES build going here, and random debuff just took off my ES xD No time to go again.

not gonna spend anymore time here, i can do okey with 2x ascendys

I kind of like the chaos trials in act 3/6. They remind me a bit of games like Hades. Granted I haven't been able to finish the fourth ascendency (died to the boss), and it was a bit of a bummer to learn I had to do the tens stages three times over again for another attempt at the boss.

Im so sure ppl swing credit card to skip this shit


PPL alrdy selling every trials for 2 divines (something went wrong GGG)


couple tries again and i gonna swipe my credit card

Once you hit level 26 you can whisper me @EzCurrency. If you have access to sekhema You can get all 4 ascendancy. You can wait outside boss room and only be there until death and ez mode for you. The nice thing that is implemented is you don't even have to enter the room to get credit. Its so good :(

Ill do it for 35 ex LOL
