trials of chaos/sekhma are too hard and I'm not going to even bother

They just suck all the fun out of the game. I've tried getting my 4th ascendary 13 times. I think the mechanics of the runs are fine but some of the debuffs are just too strong and ruin the run if u get them. I also don't think coins and trial tokens should be consumed on use, or at the very least if you beat a boss then die in the next rooms it will count as a checkpoint on that boss so if you consume a coin you start at the last defeated boss.

I hate rogue like rpgs, I avoid them at all costs. The fact that POE is trying so hard to be like elden ring is just simp behavior (parry mechanics, really?), when not even Elden Ring has true rogue-like mechanics. Died on Malenia, well you have to do all of haligtree again. (lol)

In POE 1 labs was easy, not only could you look up the maps if you were having trouble, you could also hunt for boons, and there were no debuffs for the run.

I think the current ascendancy system is terrible. That said, do you massively overlevel? Like run when you are 10 or 15 levels above the barya? I've found it's less boring when you can melt most of the monsters.

I hope they make it better in the future as well. Apparently there will be 1 or 2 more ways to do them in the future.

My two characters I have for this league - whenever I would go and do the runs, I could feel my blood starting to boil as soon as I enter the first room/area.

The fact that in Suckhema that when you get to Zarkoh, if your hourglass layout is bad and you have 30% or less movespeed, you just get one-tapped, is infuriating on a good day. If you get a good hourglass layout, then its trivial at best. It's also completely contradictory to what GGG wants in the game. "We want slower combat and an overall slower game pace," and yet, this mechanic is one where you need to MAX every bit of MS you get AND use whatever mobility skills you have. You HAVE to blast this guy down FAST. It's totally contradictory to GGG's "vision." Oh, and Pathfinder can just ignore the slow in his phase as well.

Chaos is also crap in its own way. The rewards 99.98% of the time are crap and some of the stuff is so rippy, it makes you wonder if they even played it from a regular person's perspective.

Then improve yourself because I promise you this.

They won't change it.

I usually lean toward "get better at the game." But I'll bet you a dollar that they change this. It really sucks right now.

I agree with Coco, once I started farming sakhemas I started to play better. Chaos is a bit of lottery and the rewards need to be improved/made less boring there.

It sucks because ''yourself'' and others can't do it that's your core point.

BS. I beat 4th ascendency and after that just paid a div for completion on other characters because it's pure tedium. I've talked to several others in game who do the same. There's a legitimate reason why carrying ascendency is a good way to farm divs, most people hate trials after 2nd or 3rd

Getting better aside, you should first get the appropriate defenses and/or make sure to pick options, which are not too much against the build you play.

The game is in early access, of course they're going to change some things about the trials. In fact they already did that, like nerfing some monsters and some afflictions.

Stop acting like you know everything that is going to happen, you're already wrong when you say that "I promise they won't change it".
