I did it without a problem. 76% honor resist, 3k honor. Ez working my way up to do 4th. But i see how RNG can f other players (maybe im next?) and, imo, shit happens.

No, its not "shit happens". At least it isn't for me and a lot of others. I have same stats as you, but I can't finish my 3rd ascendancy because I'm an armour/life warrior titan. My attacks are extremely slow, I can't make them faster, so I am guaranteed to get hit when I attack. So on top of having a build incapable of working around the stupid honor mechanic, every single attempt I have made has ended up with me having multiple run ending affliction combinations. My last attempt I made last night, I had 14 afflictions by the time I made it to the 3rd floor. It made the entire experience unbearable, and I have zero motivation to keep trying and failing due to bad RNG.

+1 Absolute freakin cabbage!

There is an affliction that gives another minor affliction every time you drink a shrine or do something, that by far is the worst thing if you get it on 1st or 2nd floor, by the end you will have all the possible afflictions ingame, making you move with a speed of a snail. And that will make you fail the last boss where you need fast movement speed to enable the time spheres.

The last floor before the boss had get a random affliction. I got the no evasion affliction 10 times on the final boss of TOC so tho what you are saying is true I haven't had the same rng as you did

I see what ur saying. Well, at least the drops aren’t bad while running the trials - especially if you can pick off 2 to 3 rares in the hourglass room. I’ve got some decent relics that could help you out. Their urs if you want em.

Trials are horrible, they're not fun even if you can use relics, it's just not. Chaos trials also sucks, complete rng if you can survive them or not, and maps are just mindlessly boring as of now, and the fact you get soft locked because nothing dropped a tier map you need, or any map for that matter.

The campaign was great, the end game is the worst I have seen of any recent arpg.

Ok let's vent that out again .

The trials are fixed when it comes to let us claim the 1st & 2nd ascendency , the difficulty is OK enough imo .
But when it comes to claiming the 3rd and 4th Ascendency , the difficulty is back turned at 11 again with mechanics tied to the trials which are so unfair and RNG based that managing to succeed is more about "pray the God of Luck or come with a busted build you copypasted elsewhere" . FUCK THAT .

You failed ? Oh that's too bad , you can come back to try again with those 2 or 3 relics as consolation prize but before that you have to eventually loot a Trial Token that may or may not allows you to claim an additionnal ascedency and may or may not involve going through even more bosses and tougher mobs . FUCK THAT x2 .

Those trials are so frustrating there is NO WAY anyone is coming back to them to loot stuff . Going through that once you got your Ascendency ? HELL NO . That such a big chunk of a Hack & Slash game is about ramming your ass with a metal dildo "come get your shiny ascendency , oh look honour system with massive RNG debuff system" and got no value for replayability whatsoever is just BAD DESIGN .

It takes like 30-45 mins if not longer to get to the end boss then you die because you can’t practice this fight with your build. I can watch other people do it on videos but I still have to do it myself. Having to do that all again to get a shot at the boss is a terrible system of “one and done”. I assume that payment of carries will always be there since some builds and classes suit better for this. However after getting your ascension points there is no point in this anymore.

There is - the final boss drops unique relics that will alter your next run and give you a chance at him dropping uniques if you can beat him. One of the relics is basically a flawless run (you only have one honour point the whole run). I wonder if anyone out there has been able to do it.
