Trial of Sekhemas made me quit

Yeah the system sucks, you have to grind it several times to get relics, just for something im doing only once, it feels like a humongous waste of time.


It. does. not. feel. good.
To all the people complaining about the Trial: Relics (and specifically honor resistance on relics) are basically mandatory. Get relics, use honor resistance. The trials will feel SO much better. You NEED honor resistance the same way you NEED elemental resistances outside of the trials.
I'll admit, I haven't gotten to the higher tier Trials yet, but... I honestly found the first 2 trials to be fun, and very rewarding. So much so that I've run multiple that didn't give me Ascendancy points at all.

Yeah wait till you get to the 4th one and you have to beat uber maven...No this is not an exxageration.
At this point after the patch if you can’t do trial, especially on melee (hi warrior here) the. You just need to do chaos

It’s so brain dead easy that even the worst RNG on boons you’ll still clear it

Literally had 0sacred water for both floor 3 and 4. Not able to even get anything from the merchant for 2 floors and beat it

Honor is a bad mechanic that is also unfair to melee classes.
Yeah, this is trash game design and together with the awful fps in some rooms its just some of the jankiest shit I've played in my whole life. Unironically reminds me of those shitty "hard" NES games like Dragon's Lair

Good news is that this will get revamped for sure because if this makes it into the release version people will just quit the game and never come back. It's that bad and just feels like complete waste of time rn
Ninja.
You are not alone. I waited for the patch in the hope they really did something and tried to get my 3rd ascendancy. 5 times failed and decided to leave the game. Last time I was one shot by a white mob from 3300 HP...
The dumbest decision ever to put mandatory leveling behind full RNG and build dependent mechanics. The one who decided to pick the 2 most hated mechanics for that must have an IQ less than 60.

Don't worry, the last ascendancy boss has a mechanic that, if you got fucked for movement speed, you just fail on.

the patch didn't help. the honor system is still awful.


This.

I Just did the Trial of Sekhemas for the first time on Act 2 Cruel a little while ago. Made it to final boss of the 2nd trial, had maybe around 60% of my honour bar left going into the fight, lost it all and failed because I was unfamiliar with the bosses and got hit a couple of times, and I do mean a couple of times. I got hit by a slam that took off like at least 25% of the honour bar.

It's a terrible mechanic and they need to go back to the drawing board with it.

I tried the second assencion last night (the one that gives you hte 5th and 6th point).
The mechanic is boring as f... so i rushed it and killed the boss on first try.

""Unfortunatelly"",couple seconds after the final boss was dead, i was looking to the messages that the game told me the trial was complete, etc...
some random stuff did damage to me and my honor was depleted. I lost my run.

Yes, i lost the run after i completed it. I alt+f4 instantly, that is so bullshit.
