Just completed Trials of the sekhemas for the second time

LOL, game says "here go get gear and lvl up your char"
BTW to get your class points, here let me take all that away and use "honor" instead! OHHHH so fun... not. Now I will do my option and just play without my class points or move on to another game that is not frustrating for older players. |

" It doesn't take it away. It converts the defences and HP you got from gear and leveling up into honour so you're incorrect. More HP and ES you have (don't have experience with armour and evasion conversion so i won't die on that hill fighting) the higher the base for honour is.

Ascending in PoE2 is more difficult and less fun than PoE 1.
I feel confident that telemetry data will show GGG that far less people complete ascendancies in PoE 2 than in PoE 1, and I hope that they take note of that and make major adjustments, instead of listening to the vocal minority - which are actually the "it's a skill issue" sweatlords.

" I hope moderator don't remove my post again for being "too negative" but yeah... there are too many tourist coming in recently demanding the game to be "easier". I'm not saying I am pro with the game and can destroy everything with ease, no. Quite the opposite, I keep failing, dying... The challenges and frustration is what allows the game to be played much longer, there always thing to fix and improve upon. This isn't the only game we had such terrible demands recently, maybe some of you who played recently released Stalker 2 will see the exact problem - tourist coming into the Zone and realize the game isn't Call of Duty and want every element to be nerfed or removed to fit their taste... It's seriously annoying. While there are some objective issues that need to be fixed, there are things I hope Developers can stand firm on their ground rather than caving to tourist demands. If people want easier games there are tons of them out there already. Games don't need to cater to everyone, if they don't carve their own unique path, it will be forgotten. |

Hi, just to share my experience.
I've been quick to complain about Trials, because it's a real difficulty and you cannot moderate it. Ascendy points are the heart of your caracter so it can be really frustrating to struggle to get it. It's a hack and slash game not a survival horror ! The few first runs were not fun but mandatory to farm some relics. And at level 85 or something, I get back and earn my third ascendency points. With the right build and the right relic, it was not really hard. But the fourth ascendency is really difficult, too much difficult. I'm a player with 350h. I'm not very experienced with this game and I think I just never get it. Now, players buy runs for it 1 divine. It's really not a good thing in my opoinion. A lot of players around me say they don't want to bother with it and prefer to pay 1 divine they can get easily in some maps runs... I don't understand this choice of GGG. We, 95% of the players i thnk, already buy every piece of stuff, we need also to buy our ascendenscy points ? It's really a weard choice. Hopefully, fourth ascendency is not mandatory to play and farm T15. |

" So is it even more irritating than Labirynth in PoE1? They really have outdone themselves then. "War's over, soldier. You just don't know it yet. Everybody lost."

" Fourth ascendancy isn't really mandatory as long as you save your weakest ascendancy for your 4th run. I was dumb and saved my strongest for the 4th my first time around. Just stack honor res and bosses take more damage. Also do not take any of the smoke afflictions. They seems like a free pass. But they are the worst afflictions in the game because you can randomly stumble onto something that makes your char have no energy shield or something silly like that. So planning out your moves in advance is the second most important thing other then maxing out honor res. My level 82 warrior have 5200 honor. With max honor res I would take like 10 honor per melee hit most of the time until the final trial. Also the devs are making the 4th ascendancy not something everyone will be able to achieve. And that's a good thing. Do you want a game that hands out participation trophies? |
