Everyone hates the trials of ascendancy.

Lab was thematically awesome. It's only real sin is that it overstayed it's welcome as something you had to do.

These trails are not awesome, while being bundled with some of the most disliked league mechanics.
These new ones make me miss lab, i'm not asking for a lot i just want a neutral trial that doesn't force ultimatum or sanctum on me....

locking progression behind content that some people actively dislike just seems silly, for the ones who say "but i like it" i'm very glad for you, i really am, but what would you lose by them having something more neutral that is more akin to the lab of poe1? at the end of the day they need to make a fair spread that everyone can enjoy, and with that they need a broad coverage of ways to unlock ascendancy's...
i still have faith that they will add it in the future though so people have more freedom to choose, hell make it x amount of maps(areas that are like maps) needing to be cleared, it can take longer to do those compared to the others, that's fine, but just give people the option of it at least.
I wouldn't mind Sanctum if it paused honour loss on the boss fights.

On the boss fights it's just so much more punishing for melee, especially slow and/or tanky melee because it ignores defenses and you even lose honour through block.


For Ultimatum, some of the modifiers are instant run killers or completely exclude certain builds (stun immunity is not a thing that should exist when a stun build is one of the immediately obvious builds presented to warrior. Resistance yes, immunity no).
what "infinite" coins? LOL this should not need coins imo.
lvl 47 I had 2 djinn complete the first acensdency )
and 1 chaos ( which i died to 15 mobs ganking me )
Chiming in to say I like the new trials. I like that they're challenging, I can still over level for them if need be,and I like that they encourage different builds. The fact that I'm considering a different loadout to do Sanctum vs Ultimatum is awesome and unique to this game.

When a third trial drops, that'll only make the whole ascendancy system even better. I don't understand the complaints I'm seeing about this system, everything seems to center around how hard they are and that's just tweaking balance. Once there's more ways to ascend you won't be locked in to any of them, and quite frankly I couldn't imagine a more vanilla system than Ultimatum where you're literally doing what you would normally do (killing monsters) with extra mods to consider (the things that give infinite replayability).

I hope devs don't lose sight of the vision, because what we've got now is good.

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


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.


I've never did Sanctum in PoE1 because i do not enjoy it

But, as a labyrinth for ascending - it's good, because it filters everyone who cannot do it and i enjoy realizing that i can do what others cannot

You can't do it because its hard for you?
I don't care how hard 3rd trial is or needs to be, I just want unlimited tries like with 1 and 2. The fourth can be gated behind a key like the blessing of the goddess. Please GGG! I'm already 70 and it's getting way too expensive to respec at this point and for builds that need re-speccing as you unlock ascendancy points it just feels so bad.
seeing too many bugs about not getting rewards

its fun to do
but if something happens (d/c or portal bug) there needs to be a failsafe to restore the hours of lost time
I literally won't ascend because I said i'd never do another sanctum lololol

If you're a high energy shield character, the no energy shield affliction will insta fail you because the removal counts as damage for some reason which drains your honor bar. The worst part is you can get that affliction randomly. I used a well that was supposed to restore some of my honor, and instead it instantly drained my honor when the random affliction it gave me was no energy shield.

I definitely hate that about the Trials.
