Ascending in POE 2 is Just Teadeous

Discliamer: yes it might be a skill issue on my part but i still believe that the ascendancy process in POE 1 is far better, i personally dont like ultimatum and sanctum, so it is my opinion that i know many would disagree on.

now that that is out of the way, i really really dont like how the ascendancy work in POE 2, as i side both the mechanics are not really my favorite but im willing to play them if i have to, EXCEPT.... Why do i have to play sanctum 10 freaking times to get my 8 points ???? what is purpose of playing ultimatum 3 (successful) times just to get 2 ascendancy point.

when i compare this to the lab in POE 1 im just left speechless, you have the perfect system, that the grind and reward as balanced as they could be !! and then you come to this process and it just "meh"...

that said, i would like GGG to do something about it before early access is over, i would really love if they rework that system, and here is some ideas :

1. instead on running the sanctum FOUR TIMES just to get 2 points, we can have each sanctum trial on its own, just like the lab in poe 1. (and for those like sanctum who would say thats the whole point of sanctum even in POE 1, i would say you are correct, except that it is entirely optional to play in POE and many builds find it unplayable and the same case is in POE )

2. ultimatum as a system is not bad for ascendancy per say, yet having to play it AND WIN IT 3 times only then to go up against the trial master AND WIN and if you fail you would have to repeat the whole thing again, is just too much grind for 2 ascendancy points. i suggest that ultimatum becomes a total of 12 challenges instead of 10, the idea here is to get 2 points after each 3 challenges accumulatively with the final 2 points be given only after you defeat the trial master himself

3. incorporate the trial of the ancestors in ascendancy process because i just find it much more likable and less stressful when it comes to grinding than ultimatum or sanctum.

anyway thats my thoughts on the matter. thanks for anyone who bothered to read to this point

you run sekhemas 3 times to get 6 points, why 4 times to get 2??
Might be wrong but i feel like on 1.0 (or before) we will have sekhemas for first ascendancy, chaos ss second, ancestors as third and a new one either act 5 or 6 for the last 2 points.
Navali says something about it and she ends like "but not now".
Would be very nice and this way they'd remove the loop.
