Trial of Sekhemas ruins the game

I was having fun in this game until I reached level 60 (actually 70), which in order to progress I need to complete 3 floors (30 levels) of the trial of sekhemas WITHOUT DYING, WITHOUT TAKING HITS, TAKING A DEBUFF IN EACH ROOM, FACE 3 BOSS WHICH I NEED TO LEARN THEIR MECHANICS AND OTHER THINGS.

I spent 1 hour doing 29 levels and died. Now I'm thinking of quiting this game. I changed my positive review on steam to negative.

Why do games can't just be fun? Why do you need to add these enraging mechanics that makes us want to quit the game? Doing 30 levels without taking hits or restart? and even lose the key making you have to buy more? I have a life. Can't I just play casually?

I wish that who ever had these ideas are obligated to deal with difficult real life trials like these. You took a fun game and ruined it.

Its really not that hard, so you either must be doing something wrong or... well..

How much honor resistance do you have? You can take quite the beating with the normal 75%. Saying "u cant be hit" must either be a wild overexaggeration or a joke

Sekhemas got nerfed so much its basically free now

I keep seeing so many hyperbolic posts about this since release.
On release, it could be really quite punishing, but now it's very reasonable.

the problem is not the mode itself but basic honor resistance and ammount
once u are using at least 50% on relic it gets 20x easier
u should lose 10x less at the start and relics should give less resistance
u can go from impossible to finish to super easy with 2 resistance relics its stupid

I dont even use honour resist on these things at all anymore.

They have made the entire thing silly easy. Zarokh is actually a joke now as well.

I have 2000 honors, on the 29th level I had 500, took 5 hits and was thrown out of the trial. So each hit takes 100 honor.

Outside of bosses, all the monsters are quite slow and telegraphed.

Only floor 4 can sometimes be troublesome for this when you have no relics because of narrow paths and projectile spam.

2000 for 3-floor trial is plenty even with 0% honor res.

Any way, why do I need to lose 1 hour of my life? Why can't I just continue from the checkpoint? This is ridiculous. You must be unnemployed to play this game?

Your exact argument works in the other direction, even for PoE1.

Why are you entitled to an ascendancy for free?

Player power being earned feeds into the challenge->reward pipeline for players. There are many players who like and engage with this mechanic. There are plenty of employed people who can finish the trial of Sekhemas, who will lose or fail in a video game and go again.

When you fell off the stage in SM64, does one say "Why do I have to start the stage over? Do only unemployed play this game?"

If you are not in SSF, just ask someone for a carry if you really can't be bothered to learn it. There are lots of nice folks who carry it for free all the time, and it basically takes you 0 time because they run the trial for you.

You also don't need to resort to personal attacks because you don't get what you want and someone doesn't agree with the notion you should "just because".

So you want everything to be a participation trophy? The trials are intended to be a challenge (they are not anymore) and the reward for the trials is a huge powerspike. If its given out for free, why have it exist at all
