Cool stuff. I guess I'll come across the Trialmaster some time randomly in the next 2-3 leagues when his encounter chance has been rethought and reworked. These kinds of unreachable and streamer oriented gameplay/investment needs to change.

You have completed 26 maps. How many end game bosses were you expecting to find at this stage?

Another league where HH is a must have in higher lvl content...
That's terrible design wise.

pss..

Fix Conversion TRAP

I've seen the trial master 4 times in the 9 days I played prior to retiring from the league. First time I engaged him and killed him. The other 3 times the reward didn't match what was being risked (winged scarab that was eh). I've been seeing him since T12 maps and onward and engaged in almost every ultimatum I've seen. Maybe others arent getting as "lucky" all though I don't view the lack of reward for engaging a trial master as "lucky". Could I have engaged him the other 3 times? Sure the fight is....ok it's not bad its just ok in my eyes. But hope you guys get your chance to engage. This is just my thoughts and experience from the first 9 days of the league. Don't intend to continue unless some more changes happen mid league which I don't expect major tweaks mid season from GGG unless it pertains to a "bug" or other issue.

I'm halfway through level 99 and I've fought him once.

INCREASE THE SPAWN RATE OF HIM !!!

HE IS WAY TO RARE !!!

Can't even try Conditionallys cause he is so rare :(

PLS increase the Spawn rate...

Got him once in like 300 ish ulti's ran to the end(also why am i not allowed to run every ulti to the max?), like can we not.
I legit don't even have any clue wtf his last challenges are supposed to be, got the first 2 tho.
Way way way to rare and why isn't this a drop? Like make his encounter a subscribed ultimatum so i can at least trade for it and ppl who can't do the boss at least get some currency from making it to the final round just like you know every other boss ever in poe.

GGG: We need new content...
Devs: Lets take old shit and make it LOOK different but say it's new...
GGG: OK as long as it's another 'click a thing and make monsters spawn...and sometimes... a BOSS!'
Devs: GENIUS!

100% this! why not make chance WAAAAAAAY higher? why? just nerf loot but increase chance for boss!

The juxtaposition between the consistent, incredible talent shown by GGG's voice actors and art, writing, and modeling teams; versus the sheer pants-on-head stupidity (or else, what, unrestrained viciousness?) of GGG's game design and balance team is enough to give me conniptions.

I'd love to experience more of this character, but I've managed to fight him once, early in the league before fight guides came out (how, exactly, was I supposed to practice against a boss that's affected by map mods, and that is rarer than my Exalt drops in terms of encounters/hour?), and died to him instantly. Great game design. Funny how you didn't learn from Oshabi, after acknowledging and fixing the problems with Oshabi.

And don't throw Delve bosses at me, GGG simps: those are rare as hen's teeth, but once found, I can practice and repeat the encounter to my heart's content, up until I complete it. That's a great way to balance rare boss encounters! Why that hasn't stayed for later rare bosses, I don't know.
