TRIALS ARE Really borring, unfair and punishing for nothing !

[Zadyk]

OK there is a serious issue with trial especialy when combined with the fact of being melée.


I tried different trials, unless you have a broken build where you follow stupid youtubers that kill the godamn game making every fun build being nerfed.

The affixes of the rooms are SO unfair

for exemple i tried the aoe that pop periodicaly under your feets, expands and makes almost a one shot one every char that are lvl 33 on normal mode. Nothig is fine about it especially since it takes 100% of the room space WHILE fighting a boss

I'm not even counting that we had to choose between 2 other Affixes ... so basically whatever the combinations you choose you can't deal damage.

when you play Distance unless you are a Minion dumb boy since the elems had been savagely nerfed ( well even if it's for the good of the game it's still unfair.

a good game design is maybe about the difficulty i agree but not when you don't give the tools to your player to manage ... especialy when you have to fire like a goat to respec.

ascendency i WAY to much punishing especialy for those players who don't like the content and just want the skill points

the ascendency should be reworked in my opinion please is there any solutions or issue you find with this ?


On my side i think at least maybe we should have at least 2 or 3 lifes to try especially since we have to deal with debuffs/affixes + new boss mechanics + New gameplay mechanics it's a little bit too hard to enjoy imo

At this point I actually recommend new players not to even attempt Trial of Chaos, as there is a 0% chance of success and will only lead to them resenting the game further. It's bad content and I don't know how to convince myself that the devs don't hate their players.

It's amazing how punishing it is.

I strongly suspect that the devs wanted to make the game as difficult as possible as the starting point so that when they roll back the difficulty and power creep starts setting in the game still has some challenge left.

Basically, I think everyone paid to try out the game at the highest difficulty the studio dared release to the public.

[Zadyk]

it's sad since key skill points are hiden behind this dificult ascendency i feel they should give the point after a fair fist trial for players who just want the ascendency and up the dificulty of the farm maps maybe so the progression is still in the middle nothing more frustrating than beein stoped in the progression in a hack & slash

[Fibulator]

Option 1: Do 30% less damage
Option 2: HALF all defenses and energy shield
Option 3: HALF all regenerations

All 3 options result in guaranteed failure.

And we're supposed to win with 10+ Catastrophic punishments?

And "starting out on the hardest" when ppl are paying for it... will destroy any and all goodwiil.

[Rorschach]

I agree. I honestly love the game and i like how punishing it can be - even after some ragequits - i love it! But i agree, too. Both trials are complete, frustrating garbage. Game feels like the meta-quest is beeing overleveled to have any chance at all...

how you ppls struggle with this? You know you can do trials any time you want right?
It's suppose to be challenge and it's a change of pace, compared to just mindless map clearing that's end game for now.

I mean if you play this game for x amount of months you would wanna do trials for a change of pace a bit then just running around nuking the map.

You ppls relize it's content for prolonged game not something that you should be doing on day 1 ?

I agree since i think game design should be maybe hard not unfair.

I m trying to be a game designer since 3 years in a modern country where you pay a lot of money to think you are a good game maker.

No cheat here making a game is apassion if you want to make a game it might be a game that you wish to play yourself because you love it's not to fill the market with your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ career just trying to be popular in the front of people who love to play gameeboy mario in 2024

Game should be fair that's the point devs & customers are passionate but people in this world the devs needs more than pasta & tomato to eat thzy need to live live the dream to make a dream we didn't thought about.

Well what im trying to say is.. no poe2 will maybe not be the game of the year but since the community is not ok and trying to give there free criticism of the game....they are supporting since it an unfinished game unless its not an early acces!?

Thanks for the last patch and thank for listening the criticism of us player who love what you make even we dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about how hard it can be some of us give surgery, some of us deal with cancer, some of us don't care... a lot of us are wrong about how to make a game but the difference between a star and a superstar is just the one who ear and listen
