Ascending in POE2 is the most unfun [Removed by Support] in the game

I have multiple lv 100 characters in POE1 ive been playing path of exile since the original Beta

Ascending in POE2 is absolute TRASH

it feels as though its purely chance based, you can get bad layouts with tons of afflictions on trials, or pushed to ONE wrong room toward the end that possible deletes all of your energy shield and BAM start over.(just one example) Oh no its not 5 minutes gone. Its 30+ minutes GONE. The Chaos trials are faster however MUCH more chance based as far as negative modifiers goes.

The ascendancy design alone makes me want to turn the game off, absolute garbage.

I havent spoke to ONE PERSON, that has said, Man I really love how fun it is ascending in POE2.

I mean WTF is this shit that you have to spend 30m to an 1 hour to get your final ascendancy point, with the chance you have to do it multiple times, especially on your starter character. For people like me its just better to simple buy your 4th point with Exalts or a divine. I can run 10 t15s in the time it takes me one attempt. Why the fk would i spend my time doing something I hate, for one of the most important character features your ascendancy. ill just pay someone else.

Is this what you want GG to relegate a massive part of the player base to simply pay for ascendancy points rather than play the fucking game?

you wont see me on the forums, I never complain, especially in a beta setting. Sure broken builds, not enough balance, not enough endgame, etc, etc. all of that stuff is valid but its not a big deal, this is early access and those things will come. ASCENDING FEELS HORRIBLE

When they brought Ultimatum back in poe1, NOONE played it, they had to buff it, and then people still didnt play it. Now they are forcing down every players throat, well that or Sanctum, which is more popular, but also, something half the player base doesnt fucking touch in poe1.

ascending needs an entire rework IMO, it feels absolutely trash to be doing something mandatory, so unenjoyable, for so many people. FIX THIS CRAP. These parts of the game should be fun, and people that work and have families shouldnt feel that it makes more sense to just buy your 4th point rather than play the game. I mean im blasting t15s no issues with my 6 points. FEELS BAD MAN

I really think ascending in POE 2 is amazing. First time beating Trials of Sekhemas with titan was amazing. It's challenging and I like it. Once you understand the system you will see RNG factors in Sekhemas are minimal. Relics, Rooms, Rewards of rooms, aflitions, boons, merchant, seeing how many paths one room lead. You have a lot of control in your rooms.

I’m glad we found the one guy that loves it. I’m all for it being hard. This is tedious, LONG, and RGN based, you have controls to a degree, as in you get to pick your rooms, or go buy a bunch of relics, spend money to see 8 rooms ahead, again it goes back to why do that when 60exalt gets me the points? I know how to navigate the rooms. For instance today, I got forced into taking afflictions like “when you gain an affliction, gain another affliction” “cannot see afflictions” etc pretty early on, I make it to the second to last room before the 3rd boss, I’m gonna have 3 room options, and all them are affliction rooms. Take one and I get Monsters receive 50% increased life and it adds do 40% less damage. BRICKED. The other day one bricked right at the end with “no energy shield” This is just over two instance, but I don’t have time to run it again. The short time I have to play is now gone, and it was wasted doing something I hate, and bricked by RNG. I’m blasting T15s without it, why even bother. I’ll just pay someone in exalts so I don’t have the headache and I can continue to spend my limited time on something enjoyable.
