Beating a dead horse, but trials are awful

trials are an absolute snoozefest, farming them in ssf because of wanting Adorned or specific soul cores to shore up resists or spectrum jewels is easily one of the most dreaded and boring tasks imaginable. They're fine the first few times but as a repeatable content where you're trying to get the exclusive rewards they fail fantastically at providing any kind of entertainment.

temple of chaos is like the token "netflix on the 2nd monitor" activity, and not in a good way.

Agreed. They're not very entertaining or fun, which is unfortunate because it's actually pretty cool content as far as art & design, lore, concept, etc. goes.

I think Chaos trials are in a decent place length-wise, but the enemies provide little to no challenge whatsoever. In the timed "blood" trials we're spending more time waiting for enemies to spawn than we do actually fighting them.

However, many of the trial modifiers are just... dumb. People aren't making decisions based on what they do - they just choose the ones that do virtually nothing. Which kind of defeats the point.



if anyone's having trouble completing their trials just gimme a hollar.

wish we had a proper way to advertse free carrys for this stuff, not like poe1 where i could make a party in the labyrinth zone and everyone could find it easily.

I've done the 4-floor ToS for the first time in this league and I must say, that it's much more enjoyable than any 10-room ToC runs I did in 0.1. It's a nice change of pace compared to regular mapping.
In total it's certainly not longer than 3+ 10-room ToCs and with a decent amount of relics it's much easier, too.
However, I still think the honor mechanic is a bullshit idea (for several reasons), some of the "minor" afflictions are way too overtuned, the pathing should never lead you into a one-room only choice and repeating the lower floors for the next ascendancy is too much.
Dont write an essay .

They are shit.
You don't need to justify why you wouldn't drink an fresh, ass fueled, diarrhea
Slushy with a dirty straw.

Same thing, you don't need to justify obvious.
You just state it.
They are shit.

don't give hope that there is a solution beyond the delete key.
Trials are easy af. Anyone still complaining about them is just bad in the game. First three rounds of Sekhemas are basically free ascendancies.

See what does easy have to do with it.

When you drink diarrhea its easy.
Like warm ice-cream.

Wanna do it?
Wanna go someplace where you are forced to do it?

Seeing the actual issue ?
or are you going to offer some build advice or something else not at all relevant?

People pay not to do it.
You can sell it as "Don't Drink the Dookie" mtx, that bypasses the trials and people would pay.

It's actually like drinking a warm ice cream but for some reason people convince themselves it's a diarrhea. It's not. Why people pay for carries? For some reason why they pay for junk food. They are just lazy. And they will be lazy no matter what.

Im going to get banned.
However, this is the truth.

I zone in and drop the token.
Im MAD! im already furious, I HATE this fucking place.
The fact that i had to zone over here pissed me off.
The fact i needed a stupid invite to go to a place i fucking hate is rage inducing.

My pulse is already at 105 as im waiting to see what the first round of self castrating options i have to fucking choose from.

Its a guaranteed kick in the nuts!
There is no god damn upside for the next 20 min to an hour!
You just committed to bobbing for apples in a toilet!
WHY!!! why the fuck would i ever want to do this.
My pulse is 110 , why !!!!!

I don't want to play fucking Mario brothers !!!!
I don;'t want to jump over fire balls and time the perfect jump!!!
i DON'T WANT TO PLAY A TIME WASTING mechanic with its own health pools and defense pools called honor with a frigging set of gear specific to wasting my god damn time!!

Its a non stop insult to anything with a frontal cortex.

There is no way I will ever willingly play them.
I did one this league becasue i had to do the campaign in order to have an opinion.

My PULSE IS 120.

That's another thing I can't understand - why people play this game if it drives them mad?
