Drop rates to do 3rd ascendancy is very low
I am doing tier 4-5 maps, and only just now got my FIRST drop that will let me try the 3rd ascendancy. This is not good, because once you try, if you lose even once, that token is gone, and you have to go and grind again hoping for another coin to drop.
This is not "fun" at all. Neither are one shot mechanics in these trials. If you even nudge a trap, you lose so much honor, all it takes is 2-3 minor trap mishaps and your done. You fight 2 bosses at once, with one firing off massive AOE bursts with very small "windows" that you have to see and get in, all with 1 second, otherwise your done. I really thought the devs would have listened and learned from their player base, but its rather clear they feel one-shot mechanics are still a good thing, while making many boss mechanics near impossible for anyone that isn't looking up and running those "meta" builds. I play to have fun, and my build is working pretty well as I am doing tier 4-5 and slowly ramping up my gear along the way. Sorry if I do not run to the auction house setup and buy top gear. The game shouldn't be built around this, but it feels like it is. I feel like quitting again over these silly mechanics that punish you, especially with regards to how rare these trial tokens seem to be, let alone fighting the end boss duo that wrecks you along with the traps that knock down your honor in huge chunks. You aren't allowed to make mistakes, and the end boss duo is not a "challenge" by any means, it is lazy game mechanics meant to punish. Last bumped on Sep 7, 2025, 1:24:01 PM
