Stupid trials

I came back after 8 months to check what is current state of the game. I was positively suprised that portals in the maps work as intended, you can came back anytime to hideout and acutally have the same ammount of respawns as portals and maps don't even reset after dying, they don't lose their addiontal affixes, proxies, bonuses etc. like before. Losing xp while dying is still pure BS, If you asked me, it's a goddamn HnS not souls like, even in souls likes you can come back and pick up your xp... Fine, so be it, it's only 10% at the time. I got to the point that I should be doing my last two ascendiesces...

Only to find out, that BASIC CHARACTER LEVELING that is the CORE of the game, is being bricked behind pure RNG, pain and frustration. It's so absurd that like 90% of the players have done that by paid boosting. I don't even have to write more, let's read it again. Player are PAYING for BOOSTING just to interact with BASIC mechanic of the game...

My point is, it was a thing already almost one year ago... The first two trails are was all right, leveling and showing the other mechanics you can use to farm items. But the final two are just beyond reason.

I know it's a hot topic, it's spreading everywhere but still wanted to leave that opinion here. You literally have your OG players, with thousands hours on POE1 saying it's stupid.

Final thought, the pace in you are patching, balancing an updating the game is so pitiful that the moment the game will leave early access (be my abstracting, it will be in 2027...) it will be already dead...

Just add other trails or delete pure RNG affliction nonsense in Sekehmas...You don't even create the trails, you just copy them from the first game anyway...

Did you play act 4? It's obvious there is another trial incoming.

I agree the two trials in the game right now aren't particularly good. However, the fact you can CHOOSE which trial to do is really nice. While overall, I'm lukewarm on the Sekemah trial, the fourth portion wasn't so bad (I can see how it would be near impossible without I strong build). On the other hand, I find the Trial of Chaos a total abomination. Not being forced to play the ToC at all was nice.

The game is vastly better than it was last December. However, there is still a metric shit ton of work to be done on PoE2.Try to relax, and enjoy the game in it's current state, if you can. If you can't, just go do other things and check back later.

I will wait. Mechanically the game is just...pure genius. On ragner games plays like a vertical shooter.

But I REFUSE to do that trails and REFUSE even MORE do the boost the thing.

Work on it please. Just make the trail without absurd afflictions and RNG mechanics...

0.4.0 comes.

New trial / farming should be ready.
