Trial of Sekhemas is so stupid

The ascendancies for POE2 are just not fun. Not for casual gamers, not for most streamers it seems, so who are they made for?

I was just running my third ascendancy in Sekhemas. I had the boon that when you lost all honour, restore it with 50% less max honour. This boon got eaten AFTER I killed the second floor boss, because I got hit by an ice attack that did not even START until I killed both the twin golems. Why the FUCK is there a mechanic like that? Why does Honour even fucking exist? Both Sekhemas and Chaos are crap fucking gameplay. Chaos is slightly worse, as it is not ACTUALLY chaos, it is just "how can we screw the player over". Actual chaos would give the option for BOONS as well as penalties, but all we get are penalties. In Sekhemas, some shrines give boons (hooray), but they are not all over the place, oh and some shrines will give curses too, but you do not know WHAT curse will get applied so you might lose your only defensive layer (WHY IS THIS A MINOR AFFLICTION?!?!)

GGG, I get it. You want players to feel "friction" for some reason known only to Jonathan. He wants EVERY SINGLE THING TO BE KISS/CURSE. Someone, for the love of the game, PLEASE TELL HIM TO STOP. His "vision" will destroy this game, because it is inherently at odds with what an ARPG SHOULD be.

I think they want us players to feel the "grind". So u sign that when u entered the game.

Look at this from a different pov.

Be better, learn from mistakes and fight your way up.

edit: i died at that stuff to ...
edit1: so happy i am not the only one who got trapped ...

its an RNG mess.

Wish it was learn from your mistakes, the death is fair and so on, that would make it fun, but thats exactly what its not. The whole game is full of predatory RNG thats not there for the quality of the player expariance.

The more you know about PoE 2 the less RNG it is for you.

learn the game

its too easy.

GGG, second sekhema trial is too hard. Second floor bosses for decent melee builds are "honour exhausting". Is the third one still needed to ascend?

Yeah, learn that if you want to ascend you must be overpowered.

You tell me, what do I need to learn so that the game is not a RNG mess?

If make an OP build so you dont have to relate to bad game mechanics at all or play trade to get OP gear so you dont have to relate to bad game mechanics
I would say thats not about learning the game, its about shoosing to make the game trivial and shallow or not.

Its still filled with RNG that players find a way to play around.

Yes as Darosius said, that’s easy. Learn the game.

Not easy in the sense you can enter Sekhema naked without skills and brain to suceed. Easy in the way that with minimum knowledge, preparation and correct equipment it’s almost impossible to fail. I have done it dozens of times with all classes in hardcore mode almost eyes closed except maybe the 2/3 first times.

Stop complaining all the time. A good game needs to have minimum challenge. And Sekhema is not a huge one. .
