Want to play trials but the trials are a pain an not worth my time plus the Pure aggravation to even try anymore. The only way for me to play is to pay to get thru. An don't want to do that. But that is the only way for me to be ably to play. Love the game Hate the trials

You want to play trials, but you don't want to play trials?
The trials are a pain if you go in underleveled or unprepared. No question about that.

Besides that they are far more comfortable as maps and can also provide better loot as them for most. So it could be worth it more as just going through.

As much as I understand the pain of trying the trials of the Sekhmas for the first time, you need a different approach to it than just think you'll trivialize it in the first runs.

First off you should runs and get as far as possible just to get relics.

If I may paraphrase?

"The trial is deliberately put there as a time sink. Throw more time at it in order to eventually get through."

Wasn't POE2 meant to be a bit more deliberate and, and I quote very very loosely here, "skilful", than POE1 ?

The best way to complete Sekhemas is to pay someone else to do it for you.
After that, the best way to do it is to be so completely overlevelled for it that all the challenges are trivialised.
The third best way to do it is the common answer: just throw a load of time at it.

(Ironic, considering floor 4 is all about time).


I reckon: look at the Barya stone. If it says level 65, then the median average player should complete it at level 65. And NO, it shouldn't take an hour to run through 55 minutes of soul-less, trivially dull 1-minute-footspeed-challenges to play on the nerf-slot machine mechanic to finally pit you against a boss whose only real challenge is the result of that bagatelle you had to go through.

Dont think you understand.

Im NOT going to play this shit.
I find enough value in other things, i have a goal ill do it.
Then likely leave.

The Trials are dogshit.
A whole game inside a game, that doesnt use any of it's rules.

Would you buy the Tials of Sechema from the Steam store ?

Would you call up your buddy and say, hey login to the trials we playing today or what?
NEVER

I can tolerate it cause i dont interact with it.
I slam in the key and just start clicking....
pause for fire .. nope roll roll roll.. run run run ..
Its not worth one second of thought, if i fail I fail, whatever.
If this shit is in the game at launch , im not, isometric mario brothers.

Hey I didn't buy any MTX ...
The players money is theirs to lose, ya keep it in the game.
Fill it with Arch Nemesis mobs.
Make crafting a roulette wheel and make ascension a time waster mini game.

I had all the faith in the world in these guys.
it's fading fast.

There are many which actually would buy sekhemas from steam store as much as there are many who love to play Vampire Survivor games or these roguelike mobile games which are hyped like hell... which are the same mechanic.


"...that doesnt use any of it's rules."

Could you elaborate on that, cause to me it makes no sense, since it applies all rules you would also have outside of it?


"Would you call up your buddy and say, hey login to the trials we playing today or what? NEVER"

You mean like "Hades", "Dead Cells", "Enter the Gungeon", "Risk of Rain 2", "The Binding of Isaac", "Rogue Legacy 2" or "Neon Abyss". Yes many of these games would make me like to ask a friend to join me in it.


"I can tolerate it cause i dont interact with it.

That is most likely the reason why it is shit to you. If you never get to interact with it and learn about how to do it, it will not get better. That's like saying, I can tolerate dying, but I don't want to change anything to not dying, so I am pissed about it, cause I die all the time.

What do you want to say with that?

The median average player is supposed to deal with it with level 75 or more, except you talk about twinks, then we can talk about level 65. Experienced or Pro players can be assumed to deal with it before that on their first character, cause they know how to prepare for it and cause they have the skill for it.
