Honor system is a fundamentaly annoying and anti-fun idea
|
What is a challenge? Well, I can tell you what is not a challenge. It's not a challenge to play a sloggy game where every step feels like you're walking on eggshells, desperately trying to dodge every attack perfectly. It's not a challenge when you have flashy skills, but you can't even see half of the things that could hit you, making it more about memorizing the pattern than responding to the gameplay.
You have to maintain a high level of focus for long stretches, hunting for any way to increase your honor. But the moment you encounter a boss, it might one-shot you for more than 1000 honor, using an ability that you’ve never seen before. And then, after failing, you're forced to do it all over again. The worst part? You don't even feel a sense of achievement when you finally succeed. All you feel is relief. You’re not happy; you're just glad it's over and you don’t have to do it again. This is not fun. This isn't a challenge, it’s an exercise in frustration. Last bumped on Dec 18, 2024, 7:15:27 PM

+1, Sanctum is cancer

Super easy now so if you cant do it then do the chaos trial.
Though if you have trouble with the current sanctum youll probably not pass the chaos trial |

Maybe i wasn't clear enough:
It's not about how "hard" or "easy" it is. My argument is that is annoying and anti-fun and takes too long Last edited by Bartimejus#0798 on Dec 18, 2024, 4:44:53 PM

+1 I want other ascendancy options or I fear my PoE days will be pretty numbered. This is just not fun, at all.

" Its not easy when you don't have any relics equiped or random shitty ones, its not easy when you have no defenses on your gear and have no honor because of that. Its not easy when you don't want to read afflictions, use the merchant, plan your route. People just want to smash through it like lab, and are mad they cant. Do a couple runs, even if you fail, go in with the mindset to find honor res/max relics, it will take you like an hour, and you are set for 6+ months of sanctum runs. Maybe don't try your 3rd ascendency with gear that wont even sell for 1ex on the market, try to upgrade, get some armor, or evasion, or ES so your honor pool isn't 3k instead of 10k. now you have 10k honor, you take 25% of the honor damage from getting hit, and oh wow sanctum is suddenly 12x easier. But no its time to bitch on the forums it is too hard If you cant manage the 3rd ascendency, you are just going to die in maps over and over again and quit there, so save yourself the trouble.

REMOVE THIS SHIT omg, NOT FUN,
ASCENDENCY IS A KEY POINT FOR THE BUILDS, JESUS, WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT MECHANIC, 3 floors at the 3rd ascendency... Who was the moron that thought about his... |

" Oh yeah 100%, from what I can see its people expecting Izaro level difficulty. Which isnt difficult or challenging at all. Its just people wanting POE1 but for POE2. For the people that hate this mechanic they have chaos trial though. So maybe for them do that. Though with how easy and silly the sanctum now is I dont know why youd choose the chaos trial lol. Like for me im SSF and they arent hard, I didnt have to purchase any power or what not, so for people actively trading they really have no excuse. I ran one yesterday to see the changes and wow. Its a joke of itself now. |

I'm on HOWA, melting things with 20+ runs of relics backing me
3rd floor boss still 1 shots with 70% HR / 2000+ Honor remaining Or maybe it's the vases you get stuck on that bolt shots don't clear Or maybe it's a proximity bubble dude with a CROSS SCREEN FLAME SHOT Or maybe it's 'minor' afflictions like no ES / Armour / EVA Or maybe it's just not fucking fun. Bootlickers. |
