trial of chaos "escort the statue" is garbage, terrible game design, F

why does this statue move so fucking slow? this is the most boring shit ever. it makes me want to not play this game. who the fuck thought this was a good idea. fire this dipshit, please!

you know what everyone loves? escort quests where the escort is super fucking slow. gg

Eh. I don't have a problem with it. I prefer the escort to the 'finding the soul stones' trial.

its there to keep people (like me) from speed running the trials.

its one of 2 setups that actually slow me down. I would be running them so damn fast without it. It's annoying but necessary imo

Why is this a problem though, really? I'm not saying they should be instant, but if it could speed up some when I'm ahead of it or just not stop as long as I'm not behind it that would feel better to me.

It's just an assumption but I can do the entire run in about 10-12 minutes. If you removed the escort OR the timed one it would be so fast the market would flood with soul cores/trial master shield. Can't be entirely sure but a lot of times things like this are put in not to bore you but to keep something in check.

"I personally don't like it" != "garbage, terrible game design"

i kill all of the monsters in seconds, then just sit there waiting for the statue for minutes. this isn't a matter of opinion, it is objectively shit game design.

i am not interested in grinding chaos runs. I just want to complete it one time to get the ascendency. i trivially went through all of the levels, then of course get killed by a boss that somehow prevents me from using any flasks. so now i have to start over, and sit there waiting for this slow AF statue again.

What is fun about that?
Answer: nothing.

Lazy game design tbh, people that said they love it are just glazer, stop glazing ggg

Pretty much all the "missions" in ToC are garbage.

- The escort statue is too effing slow as mentioned already. It's such a pain because the radius where you can be is so small. Get in front of it to fight some mobs? BAM! Get behind it or to the side of it to dodge blood balls or pick up some loot? BAM!

- The soul core collection is a drag, too. Sometimes they're in some remote position and it takes forever to go and get them. Also, why do they have to damage the player?

- The "Defeat all the Monsters" also takes forever, because the mobs don't just spawn after you killed the previous ones, but only after a certain time. It's ridiculous.

- The "Sacrifice Monsters to the Altar" is the same. The mobs take a long time to respawn and you even have to repeat the process three times.

- The "Uxmal, The Beastlord" fight is also a drag, because if you don't manage to kill it in one go, you have to chase it around that large arena.

- Don't get me started with that "tornado bird". It's no problem if you can more or less insta-kill it, but especially for lower level players it's still way overtuned.
