New ways to ascend gotta be the future.

Sekhema: A tireless and boring system forcing you to walk on egg shells for 15 minutes invalidating character investment via honor system. This especially becomes pronounced from your third ascendancy onward when you are scaling 2-3 floors



Trial of Chaos: This is also another one where it becomes really tiring and a slog to progress through. While the walking on egg shells via honor is not present. Stacking debuffs for 20 rooms makes it seem like you're clocking in for a job you hate.


They are doable, I just don't find the experience an enjoyable challenge more so a tedious stretch of a really annoying time sink.


I get Jonathan and Mark's perspective of them not wanting to make ascending free. Nor should it be, however I feel there could be a better approach to obtaining your class points than the systems that are currently implemented.

Have been having a lot of fun with the league otherwise though. GGG cookin with the shapeshifting forms and skills etc. The loot being bad prior I haven't felt cause i been in ssf.

Solution:



Trial of Sekhema: Remove honor system/relics. Scale monsters, traps and bosses to deal more damage/have more life etc whatever.



Trial of Chaos:


Debuffs only last 3 rooms. Some bosses reworked like the sky seer to be less egregious in the early game with stun locks.



To completely rebuild from the ground up would be a dis service to the developers so a more middling compromise perhaps in order?

I like current trials and I like that it pushes me to actually pay attention, even fail if I don't. Yeah, sometimes I can have a bad luck with mods or layout. I'm fine with it. I don't need to be served "perfect" scenario every time.

The reward of actually progressing my character is much better if I actually feel like I overcame a challenge.

I enjoy trials as they are and the fact that with some characters I feel I want to do Sekhemas to use the strength of that character.. and some of my builds are better at Chaos trial. In my opinion, well made!

Like i said, they are doable and i do complete them. I just don't feel like the experience is particularly enjoyable for me.

Agreed.
