ascendancy in poe 2 WTF

GGG seems to have forgotten the golden rule of good game design: "Don't balance your game around the top 5% of your playerbase, unless you want the remaining 95% to have a bad experience."

Right now this game feels like it was made for the hardcore min-maxers, because only they get access to all of the content. The 4th Ascendancy is literally impossible to complete without a cookie-cutter, meta build.

Making Ascendacy is very easy, if you take the time to learn instead of just complaining. And even more so since Sanctum today has drops that are almost better than spending hours farming maps.


Tip.. learn how farm Ascendancy to famr and become a rich

4th Ascendancy in Sanctum is for sure more easy than farm Atlas

Last boss give no real damage or honor damage if you farm honor resist relic's for some time before
The "honor" system sucks. I give up.
I really wish they didn't add any PoE1 league mechanics to PoE2.

Supposed to be a different game; do something different that actually works with the gameplay style of PoE2 that was promised.

If you take all the PoE1 content and port it over to PoE2, of course it's just going to be played like PoE1.

+1 for getting rid of this terrible system. Some of us are average gamers with average amounts of time who don't want our character development gated behind something this frustrating.

the way i see it. poe2 has so much potential for people wanting to make their own builds but the over performers out perform everything else by a huge margin.

[Removed by Support]
All it is is just gating content around mechanics 90% of players hate. Its sorry and has no purpose except to run ppl off.

Just so happens this does not generate revenue ^^
