CHAOS TRIALS ....

Let's talk chaos trial.

I've been attempting to get my fourth ascendancy. First, I tried it with the sactums or whatever they were called. I got to the last boss TWICE and then died when the time thing started, and you have to run around to pick up the things, and if you don't get them all, you die... but enough about those, this is about the chaos trials.

So after failing to get what I needed there, I switched to the chaos trials. I misunderstood the concept the first time and thought I had to run through 10 rooms, fight something at the end, and you'd be good... No.

Apparently, you run through the 10 rooms, fight the last boss, and HOPE it drops 1 of 3 pieces needed to open the door for the trialmaster fight.

So now I'm thinking, "That's fine. I have 1 piece. I'll do 2 more of these 10-room things to get the other 2 pieces, then run the 10-room thing again to actually get to the room, insert the pieces, and fight the boss" .... Again, NO.

Apparently, these are random drops, and you're not even guaranteed to get the pieces you need. After using up my trial attempts, I still did not have all the pieces I needed. I bought some trial attempts from the trade shop. Guess what, still didn't get that third piece.

I finally broke down and bought the third piece. And then promptly got one shotted by the trialmaster. Mind you; I have a pretty beefy tank with 6K health, about 1600( at the time) energy shield, and good life regen ...

So now I'm back having to get those three pieces again! I bought more trials off the trade store cause man!! if I waited for these to drop, I'd NEVER get them! And now, after running through a few of them, I keep getting the same piece over and over and over again! What the h.... ! And no, I won't be visiting the trade shop again. The idea that the only reasonable way to get what you need is to visit trade is a dumb idea.

Now ... who thought this concept was a good idea!? It's one thing creating challenging fights where you need to learn the mechanics to overcome it. THIS is literally tossing road block and bananas, and things to intentionally drip people up.

I don't even think one can claim skill overcomes this cause it's all about hoping you get the right drops and then hoping you don't get one shotted.

All fun has fled and all that is left is frustration. I'm on the verge of forgetting about that fourth ascendency. What's the point? Frankly, I'm on the verge of forgetting about this game. So much frustration is created over bad design choices that just destroy any fun one can have.....

That's my story...

I have made one sekhemas and one chaos trial.

I have now tried second sekhemas to get some more ascendancy points but..yök. It took ages to get past Rattlecage and to keep that honor high enough to even have a fleeting chance for those points.

I pushed 5 rooms more and then stopped playing and went to sleep. This is just stupid. Dodge rolling for 45minutes. Still there was 3 more rooms to come and a boss that mostly will one shot you.

Trials are like D4.

We either talk about both trials being complete garbage, or I respond to this with "SKILL ISSUE".

What it will be?

I agree lol both are garbage. I only got to the last boss on the sykema or whatever it's called because my honor was pushing 10K but if you only have 1 or 2K good luck lol. My focus was chaos cause that was the straw for me but totally agree, both are garbage.

try sekhemas with thorns :)

You don't need to beat the Trialmaster to get your last ascendency points. You might have missed it multiple times after the 10th trial :)
