Ascendancy points 5-8

I hate to be another complaining voice, but this does need to be addressed.

I understand these points are supposed to be acquired in the campaign and endgame on release, however they are currently a nightmare.
I'm not complaining about the mechanics of them mind you, I like the challenge, but the attainability of the item drops to do them.
The first trial of the Sekhemas I did at level 24 and it was a breeze for me personally. Minions trivialize the honor system.
The second one for points 5+6? got stuck on a trap. That's fine and dandy it happens. But lo and behold no Barya drop ever since.

Trial of Chaos I had to redo about 7 or 8 times back at level 39, I leveled 3-5 times just retrying it. Again the challenge was great for me.
The second one? A lag spike disconnected me on trial 6. I was thinking well, that's fine. The game pauses after all, And I'm tanky enough to take a bit of punishment.
Ah yeah, got kicked out of the trial on log in. The game was ceremonially paused outside the door with it shut in my face.
Will I retry the trials if the items ever do drop again?
The Ultimatum I will. It doesn't take too long and the lag spike was an issue on my end most likely. also points 5+6 are actually important for my build.
The Sanctum? honestly it's more of a chore than a challenge. 3 levels deep Sanctum to get 2 ascendancy points... is a joke.

Now that the rant is over, I suggest making those two drops green for the early access. Blocking 4 ascendancy points, a core mechanic of classes, something that should be getting playtested in the very beta stage of the game, behind RNG drops is counter productive.
