Trial of Sekhemas and honour

It's an intentional system to prevent carries - else one maxed player could easily do all the bosses while the party waits outside the arena.

All they really need to do is force all the players into the arena and not share the honor at all.

It's easy for me to avoid honor loss. It's harder for an ES player but their pool is huge.

With honor damage shared, we get the worst of both builds...

I dont know who wants to do that in a group. I've tried with an invoker friend and I couldnt see any effects... from the mobs. Should be next to impossible to do with more people. The screen clutter is unreal

We did first three grouped and it was fine, but trying to get the 4th set in a group is just not viable.

Everyone has to play perfectly or the player with the lowest honor gets screwed.


Honor system really just needs to go..

Yeah I'm not opposed to the concept of a trial. And I honestly enjoy the maps that are a break from fighting - for example, the one where you run through and light all the crystals. Using strategy to avoid the mobs and get through the path as quickly as possible was an enjoyable challenge.

It's the asinine "honor" system that breaks it for me. It's just confounding that my ES doesn't go down, and my HP doesn't go down, but my honor bar goes down? Makes no sense. The fact that you must do this Trial of Sekhemet in order to progress really leaves a bitter taste.

Last night I logged off and haven't logged back in. I think I need at least a week off.

This is one of my least favorite mechanics in the whole game and now I'm forced to play it to get my ascendancy. I'm sad face, I may just not play and see if that changes.
I want to play, I like the direction you guys have taken POE 2 so far and I hope you stick to your guns in regards to the slowing down of the game play which really improves the impact of the game mechanics.

Honor hurts my feelings because it disregards whole aspects of my character that I built in to help compensate for my inability to dodge everything.

GGG I hope you are listening and take into consideration the amount of people that are unhappy with the new form of ascending. Once you get to level 3 the honor is shredded by the enemies and usually from things i cant even see due to visual effects from skills. There is no honor returning fountains in T3 at least not in the ones i tried and it feels extremely unentertaining for no reason. its not even challenging its just dumb and not fun.
