3rd Trial Demotivated me Completely

Just adding my voice to the chorus of others who don't enjoy the trials at all and never will. Honestly I just want a baby version or something for my 3rd ascendancy. I want to enjoy my build and do the content I actually like doing, pretty simple.
I'm a huge fan of GGG overall and I'm not trying to be cynical in anyway. I want the game to improve, so I just want to express when content is this unfun and time consuming and also locked behind a drop I quickly come to the realization that I have other games I can play and spend my free time on that don't make me feel like absolute garbage when I fail.
I know I'm not adding anything new to the conversation, but I went from enjoying the game to instantly being over it. I'll obviously be back for 0.4, but ya this experience has gotten me to just drop the game until then. Up until today I was having a good time.

Well you could spend your first div drop in a full ascendancy carry and be done with it


Or go with second ascendancy until you're like level 80 and breeze through the third trial.
This, Absolutely this. Why is progression locked behind a mini-game? wth is with honor? Core progression just stopped with random ass rule changes at points is beyond frustrating. I shouldn't have to respec/regear/whatever when I'm bulldozing all the other content. it's just stupid. Get rid of this ass feature. I'm done till it's gone.
get a carry

Trials do not need anything further done to them

That is so unbelievably lame. Why have them then at all? Why so much longer and tedious than Izaro?
If you play SSF like I play HCSSF, a carry isn't on the menu.

Honestly, Trial of Chaos replicates the core game and is an ascendancy method. It simulates random map modifiers, mobs and bosses.

I understand your criticism toward Trial of Sekhemas though. That, is definitely a different game mode.

I would add however that most frustration comes from GGG not explaining or providing a tutorial on Honour. Get 75% Honour Resistance and Max Honour relics and every run is trivial.

If you play a restrictive game mode you get restricted results games not balanced around those modes. Don’t like it? Don’t choose them.



You do not need 75 honour resist to make them trivial.
And max honour as well? Lol that’s beyond overkill



At end game you don’t even use honour resist relics to farm sekhemas just fyi
