Drop chance for Ascendency-enabled Trials of Sekhemas and Chaos is WAY TOO LOW

Just stopping by to once again mention that the current method of getting your third and forth ascendancy points are absolutely god awful at current state. The lack of enjoyment is entirely tied to the RNG mechanics around trials of chaos and sekhemas. They are simply not fun, and the fact that you are drop-gating the currency needed to run this content simply does not make sense other than intentionally trying to frustrate the player.

I have been bashing my head in for weeks trying to get my third set of ascendancy points. I have been having an extremely difficult time even being able to access the trials of sekhemas because the vast majority of Djinn Baryas that drop in maps do not grant ascendancy points. Tonight, I lost 1 out of the 4 djinn baryas I've had due to ping, where I was dropped off the server and lost my place in Sekhemas. The other two times I was one-shotted by a rare boss with RNG mods on the second floor of the trial.

I could not have fathomed in POE1 gathering currency to do Labs, having an already ABYSMALLY low drop rate for keys, and just imagine if 3 out of 4 of those keys would not even provide you with a pathway to ascendancy points when you run the content.

I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME understand why it is considered good game design to have a rare currency drop to access trials of Sekhemas and Trials of Chaos, and have maybe 10% (!?!?!?!) of those currency drops actually give you a pathway towards getting your ascendancy points.

I'm currently stuck with a Stash tab that probably has 30 Djinn Baryas, of which, only about 3 of which will actually grant ascendancy points. I DON'T CARE about these Djinns that don't grant ascendancy points. They are NOT USEFUL for my needs.

I am hesitant to even attempt to run Sekhemas for my third ascendency due to the fear of once again getting 3/4ths of the way through the trial and losing one of the few djinn baryas I have left.

I have also been running a huge number of juiced maps with 280% map drop chance, which will MAYBE drop a djinn barya 1 out of every 10 maps, and there is probably a 95% chance it will not grant ascendency points.

At this point, I have literally ZERO interest in running this content unless I can get ascendancy points. I do not want to use worthless Djinn Baryas because I "like" the content while I am still pushing for my third set of ascendency points. I would much rather just run maps.

The trials and ascendancy process is still by far the WORST part of the game in current state. Djinn Baryas and Inscribed Ultimatums that actually grant ascendency points simply do not drop in enough quantity. And I'm just over here trying to get my THIRD ASCENDANCY

The miniscule drop rate of these items that are ascendancy providing needs to be significantly increased. If a player has not earned their third or fourth ascendency points yet, please prioritize Djinn Baryas and Inscribed Ultimatums that actually grant Ascendancy points dropping. I have no interest in having a stash full of Djinn Baryas and Inscribed Ultimatums that do not grant ascendancy points.

I get maps being single use, but Sekhemas take a long time to get through and it's extra painful when you lose one of these as it will take HOURS to farm more to get another attempt at ascendancy.

THE ASCENDANCY PROCESS CURRENTLY SUCKS. I HATE IT SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S WALLED BEHIND CURRENCY THAT DOES NOT DROP AND THE CONTENT IS NOT ENJOYABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE BURNING AN EXTREMELY RARE CURRENCY ON EACH ATTEMPT AND LOSE CONNECTION OR GET ONE SHOTTED 85% OF THE WAY THROUGH.

PLEASE FIX THIS MESS ON AN OTHERWISE GREAT GAME. Ascendancy point acquisition SUCKS due to the rarity of the currency drop and getting cheesed by RNG garbage.

He's right, it's shit. Chance drop to get something all characters should have the fkn right to get at a specific level? Most ridiculous thing in a game. Just another thing done really badly.

The acendancies are all just boss fights.
put them in the towers.

Hide them in the atlas , find em , kill the boss ascend.

Get rid of the trash mini game.
get rid of the trash honor system
get rid of the garbage obstacle course .. i didnt sign up for Donkey Kong.

What I don't get is why Djinn drops in Chaos Temple and Ultimatum drops in Sekhemas.

But honestly, at least for me, by the time I was ready to get my 3rd asc I had a couple dozen tokens.

Got it done on my second try and gave away over a dozen of them to other players and trashed the rest.

Same with my 4th asc, took two tries and ran two dozen lvl 80 tokens just for profit.
