Everyone hates the trials of ascendancy.

I don't understand why people hate it? Because it's harder?

I kind of like them apart from the honor system, which I would also be fine with if the end boss didn't do increasing amounts of AOE chip damage, making it a DPS check above everything else.

First floor is relatively easy. Most of the monsters are slow and well telegraphed, their damage is low. The only dangerous monsters are nagas, but usually they can be ignored. Outside of chalice challenge with unlucky rare affixes should not be a problem for any build (the boss is a bit of dps check, but you can always overlevel it if it is too hard). And you can skip it altogether and unlock ascendancy in ultimatum, which is more on the tank-check side.

Other floors are completely different story, but you are not forced to do them.

its the only design choice i despise had enough of labyrinths traps and run over on one mistake, if i wanted that id play hc

I hate Sanctum.
And I'm not a fan of Ultimatum either.
But having these 2 things define whether you ascend or not is the dumbest decision they could have possibly made.

My only issue with them that honor meter doesn't include anything related to your recovery stats (life leech, regen). If you have lots of it to survive normally, that's essentially useless in trials.

If they incorporated some form of honor regen linked to your stats (not ticking up with time since it'll be abusable, but probably with dealing damage to mobs), that would be cool.

Why are you including me? Not everyone. I like it.

I love them, but if you are going to selectively ignore people who like the content then yes, I guess everyone does in fact hate them.

I did them on ranged chars and melee. And sanctum feels pretty fair on melee on ok gear even when under leveled. It does take a while getting used too, but any failure was my own.

The chaos trials are a bit more brutal imo, as they do require a stronger character, either defensively or maxxed offenses.

Honestly I am feeling the desire to give up and quit playing simply because i cannot get past the third ascendency. I am not having fun anymore and their too difficult to come by.

The game is beyond amazing, everything about it is top notch. The visuals, the sounds, music, story, gameplay it is STUNNING!

Trials of ascendancy was so surreal I was mesmerized, the atmosphere, combined with the story, man... I'm truly lacking words to describe how good it felt.

As soon as I finished my first trial of ascendancy, I couldn't wait to start the second one.

GGG did superb work. I can see myself playing this nonstop.
