Get Rid and Do Away The Trials of Sekhemas and Chaos

The upgrade from Sanctum in PoE1 to PoE2 is a prime example of how much the developers have refined their skills and vision over the years. I understand that some players may not enjoy it or prefer to avoid it, but that shouldn’t take away from the level of polish and immersive experience it offers.

I'm sorry but what?

What have they refined with Sancrum?

It's the same old try not to brick your run with random afflictions you often have no way avoiding, sure the visuals are nicer now but beyond that..

First, this type of gameplay benefits significantly from action canceling mechanics, making movement and dodging feel more responsive. Second, room variations are far more distinct, adding meaningful variety to each run. Third, progression through each floor feels exponentially more rewarding compared to its predecessor.

That said, if you don’t have the right Relics, Sanctum can absolutely feel terrible—which is a fair criticism.

If you're talking about separating ascendancy points from this content, then I completely agree with you. Players shouldn't be forced to do difficult content they don't like to get their ascendancies.

We need something easier like the Labyrinth from POE1 to ascend.

Sorry, but I can't ignore this. The lab is both harder and more annoying than sekhema or chaos.
Just the fact that poelab exists should tell you something.

They should remove them, as well as all PoE1 league mechanics.

Supposed to be a different game. If you port over all the same content, you can't be surprised when you end up with all the same gameplay.

Nothing about these mechanics screams "slow, thoughtful, and methodical combat" to me.

If you’re looking for slow, thoughtful, methodical gameplay then look no further than HCSSF. I’m in Act 2 rn and it’s got everything you’re looking for - well worth the time spent.

Trial of the Sekhemas is my favorite content in the game and I like that unlocking the ascendancies is "difficult".

I also like that ascendancies aren't respecable. When I check the leaderboards it's nice to know a level 97 Chronomancer actually played the game as such and didn't respec recently for fun.

I have a hard time understanding why some people want their progression handed to them on a silver platter instead of earning it - but I guess that's why I play HC SSF. I suppose some people want challenge while others want to just feel powerful.
It's definitely the correct decision to make the game challenging however as that doesn't exclude the ability to feel powerful. Meanwhile making it easier to attain power would alienate those who are seeking challenge.

Is it difficult though?

In my experience, it's not so much difficult than it is just.. random, in good or bad.. more often the latter which gives it the illusion of difficulty.

Ascendancy points or build defining upgrades in general should not be gated behind rng mechanics, be it the trials or whatever else as that's just bad design, imo.. not everyone is l33t pr0 hardcore gamer, some folks would rather just play and have fun.

Sekhema still need some rng tinkering to not to overwhelm player with debuffs but overall it got a lot better.

First 4 points is easy to get. So no actual ascendancy road block, and if your gear is not enought to clear first run no ascendancy wil fix that anyway.

After you need to run them for good relics couple of times and with hight enough resistance you are pretty much charged for the final challenge.

The real culprit is endgame gearing, you'll be slapped time after time if you go in with below average items, while majority of drops are unusable trash and market is in a desperate state.

You said why they are garbagio

YOU NEED TO WASTE YOUR TIME

SKill is not the solution.
Waste time ...
Accumulate items to help with only that zone .
With Health mechanics that apply only to that zone.
Or go buy the win or a carry... wonder why bots are an issue?
No shortage of people willing to pay to win or pay not to play.

It isnt PoE its a failed mini game that wouldn't sell for 20 cents on steam.

I despise it...
I won't do it
I stopped playing because of it ..
TBH even in the recent race event, i was so sour on the game, i just quit the first time i died. I was already angry just remembering how much of my time was wasted on that crap .. I just looged off.

Game cancer.
I kinda want them to keep it.

Keep the 1 portal .
Keep the no crafting
Keep the trials
Keep the One Shots from off screen mobs or invisible land mines.
Keep the ArchNemesis mobs, those are winners for sure!!

I have not seen a good train wreck in awhile.

Is this some early April fools ?
Don't you guys have phones ?

Where is red T-Shirt guy?

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1
+1 !YOU NEED TO WASTE YOUR TIME! +1
+1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

Its my number 1 core issue with "The Vision"
Not during the campaign, campaign is close to perfect.
(Still HATE Trials during the campaign)

But everything in the endgame is designed to frustrate and annoy.
1 portal, XP loss, boss keys, and trading.
Perfect storm of I don't want to play this shit.
