Get rid of honor mechanic for core aspect of the game

seriously this was the worst league mechanic they ever made now if you don't one shot bosses or make one miss step you lose so much honor you fail even though you wouldn't normally come close to dying.

I know some people loved the honor mechanic then make it optional not mandatory. This has been such an amazing game, so many good steps in the right direction and now I have to call it a day before the game even comes out... like jeeze guys.

Been stuck on my 4 ascension points for a week now slowly waiting to get a RNG ascension coin just to fail again for the 8th time in a row.

Yeah, trails are troll.

Worst ascendancy type experience I've ever had in a game. Nothing like basically playing a different game to get your ascendancy.

I've never encountered something so ridiculous, so crazy offbase- just in general thought process. Its incoherent.

Although chat says things like, you should played x gamemode in poe1. To which I think, what, worse??? NO WAY. I bet there is a way.


I can't imagine the process, where a team said, ok, what are we going to do for ascendancy? Somehow this honor thing not only escapes someones brain- but all the other brains agree and it makes it all the way to code.

No one thought, wait- we're throwing out health and mana... nearly completely? Like... you guys mean the ENTIRE rest of the games main mechanics- LIKE CORE MECHANICS, we're ignoring? Was there not a SINGLE dev in that room?!

If there wasn't a ton of people kicking and screaming about how shit this honor idea was- this game is just doomed. Just give up now, we tried.

The only saving grace is that the suckhemas trial is unique.

Chaos trial blows all the asses; but theres no honor- so its better. At least you're playing the same game with some super shitty couldn't-find-an-actual-way-to-make-this-fun mechanics.

Brought to you by the team that brought you honor, the Chaos trials! You can pick what shitty curse you have to play with from a short list of all shitty curses! They stack up! So you'll never want to even try to get your ascendancy ever again! You'll likely hate it so much, that you won't even want to go back to playing the normal game!

You'll hate it SO much, that you'll just be fine with not getting your last ascendancy points- cause it doesn't matter what those points do, its not worth it.

The most impressive piece of this to me, is that you have such a great game, like really good game... with insanely bad shit thrown into critical parts. Its crrraaaazzzzyyyy. Straight mental.

Those are some super silos. Theres no way this happens without some serious company-communication-shitting-the-bed action.

Yes, the developers obviously didn't go well with the ascendancy. Last league I took 7-8 points at the 80th level, in this one, damn it, at the 94th. It's not good. Please repair the completely broken 4-th floor in Sekhemas and fix all that you break in The Trial of Chaos. Make it all simpler, and people will reach out to you!

To me, the only way to consistently be able to complete either of them successfully and with bearable amounts of boredom and annoyment is to do them when being severely overlevelled and being decked out in above average gear at least. In that aspect, i'd even dare to compare them with the ASININE glyph levelling in D4, placed behind pit levels only the broken builds of the month can do. It somewhat comes down to the same thing and that's NOT a good thing. I surely wouldn't call them great content, nor well-received

Just study a little, buy honour resist and Max honour increase relics ( or farm them if ssf). I really like that all trials have different core mechanics, you actually need to think and plan a little to overcome the challenge. Usually changing a few points and gear are enough. They are all really really easy if you know what you are doing. Its better this way than ask for a mobile game ( let me Rush everything and achieve everything mindless)

They will be making more paths for ascension. I think one trial w/ the honour mechanic is fine. I would honestly like to see Sekhemas design space/endgame mechanics expanded.

Found what honor relics I could, still lose 1/3 to 40% honor from a half a screen AoE. Yes it can be dodge-able but when they are two bosses spamming AoE sometimes I roll in a corner then its GG. I have no idea how melee can even achieve this.

If I had more currency to retry more often rather than once every few days that might help. I have never found this mechanic easy and generally it needs to be exploited to do well and farm. I don't even care to farm this content, I just want to access my ascendancy points.

They should change it if your trying to increase your ascendancy points and you lose all your honor you just get no loot but still have a chance to keep going (death through HP should be what ends the trial) and get your points OR be able to progress your ascendancy through other trials, I'm completely fine doing chaos the whole way.
