The Trial of the Sekhemas and Trial of Chaos are completely unbalanced in both rewards and gameplay.

In Trial of the Sekhemas, players can exploit the system by forming teams outside the boss room and charging fees ranging from 1D to 50E per teammate to help clients defeat the boss. These teammates don’t even need to go through any of the trial stages themselves and can still gain Ascendancy effortlessly. Where is the fun or challenge in this process?

When new players need to obtain Ascendancy, they are driven to spend real money to purchase in-game currency, creating an unfair advantage.

The rewards in Trial of the Sekhemas are excessively high, with treasure-filled chests, Jewels, Unique Jewels, and the Against the Darkness Time-Lost Diamond.

In contrast, Trial of Chaos feels like garbage in terms of rewards, offering only corrupted equipment and no Jewels or Unique Jewels. However, the trial process in Trial of Chaos is at least fair, requiring all teammates to start from the first stage and face the challenges to earn their rewards.

I have to question whether your development team has actually played the game themselves. This kind of imbalance severely undermines the fairness and enjoyment of the game.

The Immortan Unique Body Armour has been renamed to The Road Warrior. It no longer provides 50-100% increased Armour, and now provides 15-30% to Fire Resistance and Lightning Resistance (both previously 15-25%). It also now provides 10-15 Life Regenerated per Second, and +10-15 to all Attributes.

"Skills socketed in a Meta Gem's sockets can no longer gain energy." - If I'm reading that correctly, basically all skill gems socketed part of another Meta gym can no longer generate energy to trigger that socket skill power. Boy, this is going to kill a lot of builds. I mean isn't that "cast on" built in-game for that? Hence, now your taking cast on skil gem out of the game entirely. You might as well just delete it from the skill options for uncut s
pirit gems.
