What's your opinion about trials?

So you think trials should be guaranteed to succeed?

[Drifter]

I have no issue completing them, but they are not fun.

[Dentin]

Eh, they're okay. Is some BS for sure, but I don't think it's excessive after the PTSD D4 has given me with its end game and stuff like the first version of the pits.

Remember these key points:
- Don't bother fighting everything first off, like the light the beacons one? F everything, just dodge roll through and hit them all, only time I died was cos still had a skill set to that button on my controller(A on xbox), so I couldnt use the beacon before the timer ran out cos too many enemies lingering around.
Second try, just dropped that skill so could always hit A on them as running by, ez.

- Manage your honour. Plan out your route better dude. Theres shinres to help refill it along the way. Again, ez.

Trials arent that hard, neither is the game, but can certainly make them a lot harder by rushing through either.

They just flatout suck.

[Dr. Rockso]

They are less fun than a pillow fight.

Maybe equip some culling skill/spel so you can execute bosses.

I think the trials are unfun. the trial of sekhemas didn't give most of my characters any trouble but if you fail you just wasted so much time. The trial of chaos is unbearable. it can be easy or the most frustrating trial ever.

[Fraktal]

I haven’t tried them since the update.

For Sanctum one needs to prioritize looting chests for relics. Get max honor and honor resistance.

Ultimatum just sucks in general. The debuffs are wildly overtuned.

Hmm, I'm thinking the same. Hopefully GGG will fix the whole thing to make the game more balanced.

They shouldn't be related to your ascension. Keep them in the game as an end-game activity, but let us get our ascension some other way please.

[The Blacksmith]

I've been blazing through the Atlas with no problems despite not having the remaining four ascendancy points.

I've gotta believe the game designers wanted the Ascendancy Trials to be frustratingly hard on purpose. Maybe so they can focus on balancing everything else before worrying about Ascendancy Traits.

GGG aren't the type of folks to take your [early access] money and run. I'm sure they'll make the Trials easier in 4 or 5 y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ months down the road.

However, I hear there's a market where you can pay some immensely overpowered players to carry you through the Trials.

When on earth did he say that? Do you see the title of posts and just assume what the OP is saying? Do you look at a book cover and say you've read the book?
