So the ridiculous ascension trials are still a thing?
Remains uninstalled then.
- Ascension is unlocked lvl22, i tried it lvl 25 and succeeded it (monk, v0.2 HC standard league, no buy). I'm casual player (not played endgame more than 3 hours)
  It was the first challenge proposed in 0.1, which as for all the game, can be solved with just... better gear.
  Not all that is proposed can be done fingers in the nose without gear. That is what also makes great the reroll experience where you can 'feel' the difference of your smurf equipement to levelup faster.
