PoE 2 Ascendancy Trials NEED to be reworked

i wasnt a fan of poe1 trials untill i played poe2

its just not fun - yawnfest - cringe

i did them with a freind and nearly lost the will to live.

- ultimatum -
too long - would have been ok with out the door at the end so you dont have to run it multiple times.
the trials are boring and too many timed 1:30 waiting around for a few mobs to spawn. and all the running - elevators to and from the trial just not needed at all.

the other one cant even remember the name as ive tried to forget is just painfull. boring room events, far far too long. and the clear unbalance between builds is just not fair. im running around with 12k honor my friend has 3.

The Trials are too easy to fail for how long they take, and worst of all, they gate the fun part of the game - the ascendancy points - so you end up running the Trials when you're 10 levels higher.

If you had a 99% chance of beating the Trials, it would be okay that you have to do so many levels. If they took 5 minutes to attempt, it would be okay dying to the tornado bird.

Of all the mechanics in the game, the Trials are the worst.

You would need to be pretty stupid to gate your character building game behind mario brothers , amiright?

Nothing wrong with the trials

they are subjectively boring as fuck

make them progressive like how its in poe

Trial of Chaos is okayish, the only bad part of it is the need of collecting 3 different pieces of key to unlock Trialmaster's tower - which makes ex. carrying friends a chore. Another poor experience there are lifts, and long passageways needed to get to the next room.

Trial of Sekhemas just sucks - both how long it takes to complete, and due to honor mechanics. Especially the latter is super annoying when carrying someone through it. On plus side though - it seems it can be postponed, and resumed later without usual 8-16 minutes timeout.

But all in all, I value good, old Eternal Labyrinth from PoE1 over these trials. Much simpler to start, restart, carry peoples through, and doesn't require a key to enter (well, except Uber Lab)

The only rework which trials needs is adding requiremet to complete whole trials in order to get acsendancy points imo.
