3rd and 4th ascensions are not fun, frustrating and too hard

i do ssf most time, just selling stuff that is good enough to make other people happy. but the first devine i earn or find always gets ind trial 3 and 4, because its really boring content. sekhema 3 and 4 is to long to have fun. my 2 cents

I'd at least like 1-3 to not require any drops to attempt, like in PoE1. Also the chaos trial gated to lvl 75+ for the 3rd doesn't make sense, let us choose between chaos or sekhemas freely.

I swear they made it 65 for both in 0.2.0e or f.

I couldn't get my 4th ascendancy this league on supposed "OP" lightning spear build. Even doing the lvl 75 stones with lvl 91 character getting one shotted by flappy bird and such nonsense. This is ridiculous. At such lvl difference everything should just melt.

I don't get where Ascendancies are supposed to fall in the difficulty tier list. Imho 4th should be something you can do when you start mapping and that enables you to push higher in map tiers. Instead it's balanced for the very end of already finished build only matched by high tier pinnacle bosses.

Posting my agreement with the succiently expressed subject. I have played for 420 hours and leveled 5 characters to the end game. I have never completed the 3rd ascension. I have tried it a few times on one character unsuccessfully. It is too long and difficult. It is extremely frustrating to go through the long process and then fail at the end. I do not like the honor mechanic at all. It still is very hard for melee after the distance based adjustment.

Yea there were a lot of flaws for me but the final straw was Trials. After failing my 3rd trial in 0.1, I came back to 0.2 & they didn't do anything in terms of Trials and how tedious it is. Safe to say, after failing twice in 0.2 as well, I just decided to quit/take a break.

Felt genuinely awful being locked out of class power.

Yeah I thought so too but only the 75+ ones work for chaos. Maybe if they newly drop at 65+, but the old ones that dropped previously don't.

I agree. 3rd and 4th points are unattainable by non-meta or cookie-cutter builds, especially those that need to be in melee range. Why did they take Sanctum, which wasn't a popular mechanic in PoE 1 and add it to PoE 2. I have no idea on this thought process. Bringing back Izaro would have been so much better. It also fits the theme of soul-like/slow battle against a big boss. But instead we get this anti-fun don't-get-hit mechanic. And then the Ultimatum trial boss is so overtuned that it doesn't make any sense.

I think they just have to make easier versions of the trials, and make harder trials for people who want a challenge and make it more rewarding. Having choices in the game makes it more fun for all players.

LVL 80 Tactian, didnt even try
