Having Sanctum as the first trial is genuinely psychotic. However, Ultimatum isn't that bad. Honestly, Sanctum would also be fine if it wasn't for the honor mechanic that requires you to slot in relics that you don't have for it to feel fair on the first few runs. If they just made the ultimatum trial downsides like 1/2 to 1/3 as powerful for the first trial and basically got rid of Honor as a mechanic entirely for the initial ascendancy coins, it would feel a lot more fair.

Wrong they are amazing but you should be able to choose between even more options, currently you basically have no other choice than doing sanctum at the end of act 2 and sanctum on a slow melee char without movement skills is just pain, but a trial like Tota would be very good for this kind of build, they just need to give us more options and make them all available at the same level

@Seinglede22 күн бұрын
The fact that the many of the trial affixes are exactly as powerful at act 3 as they are at max level is goofy. The initial ascendancy trials should have toned down versions to introduce the concepts to you first before turning into potentially build bricking downsides in the higher level trials. Giving the mobs 40% Elemental resistance when I have like 60 penetration on my passive tree? Totally ignorable, barely even noticeable. At like level 40 before I even actually have access to curses, exposure, etc? Miserable.

The biggest problem with Ultimatum is that too many debuffs are simply broken, meaning you would never choose them if you have the chance. With so many terrible debuffs you could eventually have 3 bad choices that would ruin your run. In other words, Ultimatum gives too much room for RNG. All the debuffs should be in the same level of difficulty, OR you could make harder debuffs grant better prizes, OR you could choose from a pool of 6 options instead of 3.

It'd be nice to have something like the relics from the Sanctum/Sekhema trial for Ultimatum. A way to make the mechanic easier over time (the relics help massively for beating the Sekhema trial). Or at least making the first three trials be quest items with infinite uses and only the last one requires a farmable item (like in PoE1). Either way, still baffled they thought these two mechanics would be good for ascending. My theory is that the new Ultimatum/Sanctum were designed after they pivoted from making the campaign to "quickly" work on an endgame for the EA. That might just be copium, but it'd explain the horrid balancing to some degree. I'm sure playtesters reported on it being bad but they ran out of time and decided to fix it later. Which might be even more copium...
