POE2 needs a proper Labrynth for Ascendency, not Forbidden Sanctum

I'm loving POE2 so far, however, I hope they add a proper labrynth style trial for ascendency. Izaro's trial was just so much better and felt way more epic/fun. The exploration aspect of finding dark shrines, traps were just naturally added throughout and way more interesting, Izaro fights were interesting.

As for Forbidden Sanctum, it was one of my least favourite parts of POE1, particularly because of the "honour" system where you have the additional health bar depleting when you're hit... it just feels super bad especially for certain builds (melee). Also, every new layer just being another samey looking cave makes the whole ordeal feel pretty monotonous.

I know the game is early access, and I really hope this is just a placeholder for a future proper Labrynth experience, which was honestly one of my favourite things to do in POE1.

Keep the sanctum if you want the Balaba storyline, maybe have it farm some sort of currency for upgrading items, but it really shouldn't be the mainstay for Ascendancy.

nah they want to keep the last ascensions exclusive to the god gamers or someshit like that...

Nothing wrong with that so long as you are playing standard, but nobody is doing this trash every 3 months they will lose their entire playerbase if they intend to make this garbage a thing for every league

Playing through that campaign is already a boring experience just to get to end game.

POE 1 ascendancy via labs are a far better experience

Hell POE 1 is a far better game than the POE 2 the big issue with POE 1 is the horrible trash character models and animations.

If POE 1 had the graphics that POE 2 does I would never touch POE 2.

I don't care about standard, so as a season player, I'd love to climb ascendencies every season (usually trying new characters).

I disagree that campaign is boring, I think they did a great job (at least so far).

But yes, massively agree that Lab was way better... it was actually one of my favourite parts of the game where I farmed eternal lab + to sell some of the rewards on market (which yielded decent returns for hours played).

As for POE1 vs 2... the games feel sufficiently different, and I like the direction of poe2. There's nothing wrong with these two games having different styles. POE2 is still early, so we'll give them time to build. POE1 also went from being a decent game in the beginning to the apex it is now.

What we really need is a forum for PoE2 posters.
