Trials are the worst gameplay experience PoE2 has to offer!

And don’t expect any changes, minority “ultra-fan nerds” always defend that mechanism.
I personally tried to max honor resistance, avoid bad debuffs and learn all that tactics, rooms etc and you know what… it’s still feels like annoying rng forced dogs**t eating. But it’s necessary for progress, and that’s the worst part…

You can't explain it to em.
But they are contrarian. The trials are a funnel of hot diarrhea.
They are drinking it down and smiling at you with brown chunky teeth.
"It actually has a pleasant nutty bouquet" they say with breath that could clear a circus tent.

Never questioning that people are paying to not participate.
forever critical that you do not want a steaming cup of brown.

Exactly.

Remind me of Emperor new clothes…
Those ppl are naked…

in those many many hours you spend in each character in each league, you only do those trials twice,nobody is forcing you to grind them, you do one sekhemas around level 24, one chaos trial around level 40, another chaos trial around 75,which most people usually dont even bother with because you can do 3 floor sekhemas instead at an earlier level, and another last sekhemas around level 80 and above, it is supposed to be challenging you absolute talentless baboons, you do these trials only twice each in that 200 hours you play a league for, it takes %1 of your playtime in total,first sekhemas and first trial of chaos are a walk in the park, if you know how to read game already helps you navigate through the first one of each, you already have 4 ascendancy points in act 3 if you are not an illiterate monkey. Now anything else after that people usually pay for because they dont want to bother, NOT BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, because it is not like the usual boss or map grind, it has different mechanics, different rooms and waiting and weighing time between them, it takes TIME, and they dont want to bother.

people with videogame illiteracy shouldnt speak on game mechanics, you clearly dont invest the necessary time and effort required into a build for it to function, then you come here and complain about mechanics.

In Sekhema's trial the 4th floor is completely broken. You're taking tons of damage per second from the urns, 75++% honor resistance doesn't feel like it's working at all. The boss... It's not for me to tell you. The first 3 floors can be traversed by any character without loss of honor, the 4th floor is for a chosen few. In the Chaos trial there are so many bugs that there are already many posts about it on the forum.

I think people who defend this stupid mechanic forgot what kind of game we playing. Just a reminder - it is ACTION RPG. The type of game where gameplay is stand around character characteristics - offensive and defensive and core gameplay is about dealing damage trying to survive under CONSTANT INCOMING DAMAGE. This is the game we playing. And adding mechanic which absolutely restricts you to receive any kind of damage is a shame of gamedesign. Especially since those trials are standing in a way of progression.

Absolutely nobody would argue against trials if they will be as just alternative loot farming dungeons instead of mandatory thing locking behind ascendancies.

If you could think a bit, you can even find out that it's simply even sounds dumb that hero who gather a lot of defense and can withstand dozens of monsters before dying now need to spend hour+ crouching in splinter cell style to be able to fight default way after, just better with new ascendancy points.

It's just like to become a tractor driver you need to defend a dissertation on quantum physics.

agree, trial of sekhemas is pure garbage and a waste of time, not to mention the random DC's

I only had fun in trials this season bcs my character was able to delete enemies really fast this time

If it weren't for that i'd still think that trials are one of the worst pieces of content i've ever experienced in a videogame

Trials really do suck - absolute waste of time and zero fun.

I don't even factor in my 3rd or 4th ascendencies into any builds because most of the ascendencies kind of suck anyway and you can do all of the content without them. There's usually only one 4-point node needed to activate most builds; the rest are just added fluff.

Get honor resist
Stop risking bad afflictions

SSF I have never failed a trial past early days 0.1
