I tried 3rd ascendancy 10 times as titan lvl 76.

I have like 3,5k honour.

I reached the scorpion one time only and died after 4 hits. That run somehow i got some unbelieveable rng with boons and hammer.

The rest of the 9 runs were horrible. On Each floor 90% of rooms offered somekind of affixes, no matter what route you picked. You needed to choice from very bad to very bad * 3.

What the biggest joke is, if you are lucky and before the floor boss there is a merchant, and if you even more lucky, and by chance has enough water, you can buy immunity to the next room. For real? If rng favors you, you can yoloswag bosses.

Some on chat claims and other forums claim they do that way and selling themself as skilled players lols.

To sum up, trials are a joke in this form, you are at the mercy of the rng, no matter how good you are, if rng not favors you for 3 floors then you lost.

I was loving this game until I hit this point. Was hyping it to all my friends, bought a $150 controller just to no life it on PS5, I really thought I found a game I'd sink hours and hours in for years to come. I've wanted a true successor to D2 for yeaaaars!

Then I decided to try getting my Ascendacy class at lvl 30 on Warrior and hit a wall like no other. 15+ attempts now and I only manage to get from room 3 to room 7. With boss fights that are difficult I see myself improving with each new attempt...with these trials it just feels like no matter the strategy I use im not ever even close.

I've looked at guides, watched videos on how to do it, and nothing helps. It's not just that it's insanely difficult though...it's not fun at all. Who wants to play "don't get hit" when for 30 lvls that's been the gameloop? I truly don't understand this design choice. Then when you fail having to start the entire thing over is just rage inducing.

I read that they were making changes to it this patch + buffing my warriors shield/mace, so I waited to speak about it until I tried it after the patch, but it made no difference. In fact, my worst runs were after the patch. It feels like it got worse. I lost half my honor in the first room.

The difficulty of the game is one thing I truly enjoy...so I'm truly not saying to make it easy for casuals...however I think considering alternative ways players can ascend might be worth looking into. Because I know for a fact I'm never completing this damn thing...which means I'm never ascending...which means I'll just stop playing because what's the point?

Thanks for the 80hrs I've spent so far, Definitely worth my $30 already. I just think maybe I was wrong and this games not for me after all.
