Dear GGG, I do not like Sanctum. Keep it away from necessary gameplay like Ascending.

Please and thank you. This was option, and should always remain optional. I hate it. Make it go away. Thanks.

you know trials of the sekhemas is completely optional right?


you dont have to do it to get your ascension points. . .

do explain, because from my knowledge you must do Sanctum at 20ish, then Ultimatum at 38ish, then either Sanctum or Ultimatum @ 58ish to get 3rd, 4th, etc.

This isn't quite right. Any time you do an (appropriately scaled) ascendancy trial of any type you will get two ascendancy points.

What this means is that for your first ascendancy points you may do a 1 floor Sekhema Trial. You can also hold off and do an ultimatum instead.

For your second set you will need to do a 2 floor Sekhema Trial or a 4 round Ultimatum.

For your third set you will need to do a 3 floor Sekhema Trial or a 7 round Ultimatum.

And so on. You can do four Sekhema Trials or four Ultimatums or any combination thereof. When the Karui trial is added later on it will be similar.

However, people have been reporting that the 7 round Ultimatum is bugged and not always allowing players to ascend.

Overlevel, overgear, do it on easy mod. Just a friendly advice.
Besides some bugs those are perfectly fine, and once done, you can forget about them.

I agree with op. Bugs i ofcourse can handle as it is Early access. However i despised Sanctum in POE asl well. I really detest that it now is more or less mandatory for every single character i will create. That kinda gameplay where i can play for 45 mins only to get unlucky and run out of honour right before end of 3rd floor and have to restart is just insanely lame and not something i ever want to play. In POE i was completely fine with it and just left it alone. I do want it to be in game so that ppl who enjoy it may play it, but it should not be part of neccessary stuff, just optional please.

How can people relate to Vegeta and at the same time act like kittens when vs a challenge.

You can ascend, when you're worthy of it!

Serious talk though, the honor system I don't think is completely fine, I think it should alternate conditions instead of just trying to avoid hits so that it not only brings diverse challenges but balances it vs more defensive tailored characters or melee.

+1 Honor system sucks, Even with one shot off screen build I would still hate do do a honor system mechanic.
