Ultimatum is EXPONENTIALLY Too Difficult

+1 but I want to give my experience.
Warrior Titan near end of Act 3 (Level 40?) My first go-around I immediately died upon exiting the lift. I was immediately surrounded and killed and I just laughed and went again. Second try was much better, however the Ultimatum choices it gave me were mechanisms that shoot lighting and those can nearly one-shot me. The next choice I recall I had to take blood balls that spawn in the air and follow me. I get to that level with the big bird, and I just could not get an attack off. The whole time I was being chased by this massive turkey while blood balls were following me everywhere meanwhile a machine in the center of the arena kept shooting lighting arcs left right and center. Absolutely hilarious. Look at this screenshot, this was how much damage I was able to get in while doing nothing but dodging and staying alive. All for my second ascendancy points. LOL ![]() |

i agree its not well tuned to the campaign difficulty. basically the only thing that i got hard stuck on for some hours forcing me to redo my entire character more or less (respec, skill gems, gear). some of the modifiers are much harsher than others, i acutally think the phys circle one of the most bearable ones and then theres the fact that the tasks get particularly annoying with some of the debuffs (big circle, chasy ghost, lightning circle, floaty bubble lesser extent for the escort mission). like one time i tried to escort with chasy ghost and it took me 3 minutes to get through a tight spot.
so yeah they need some design work and core balance adjustments but i think conceptually and pacing wise its great were it is. its just in a lvl 40? zone but feels like a lvl 55 challenge. Last edited by Roquefort720xTreme#7938 on Dec 12, 2024, 2:23:49 PM

Long, very difficult, and actively un-fun. I'll take 2 of those, but please don't make me do all 3. I would prefer to have fun with my videogame though, you know, in a perfect world.

Just think about this quote from Arschnemesis:

I was struggling alot early on but I stuck around and managed to get somewhat comfortable. I thought I'd give ultimatum a go but after many tries and only managing to get to the last boss once who summoned a tornado upon the only safe spot that I can stand in (exapnding donut aoe), killing me instantly...
Then it was bullshit mods after bullshit mods....it sucked the fun out of the game for me. I saw no way of completing it in the foreseeable future. Trials of Chaos in general made me want to put the game down and not play it. Not fun at all. This kind of 'random bullshit go' content shouldn't gate your ascension in my opinion... |
