00:00 - 00:03PoE Sanctum League has finally dropped
00:04 - 00:05New skills, buffs
00:05 - 00:07...and a whole new dungeon.
00:08 - 00:12The sanctum offers a roguelike experience
00:12 - 00:15...with a Resolve system that acts like another life bar.
00:17 - 00:19Great, can't wait to get wacky upgrades
00:19 - 00:21...and spec into Resolve defense and regen.
00:24 - 00:26Sir...
00:27 - 00:28Resolve...
00:31 - 00:33Resolve has no real defense.
00:34 - 00:36And upgrades show up twice per floor.
00:53 - 00:58Anyone who hasn't finished Hades, Hollow Knight and Dead Cells, get out.
01:13 - 01:15What the fuck is this?
01:15 - 01:17What were they thinking?
01:18 - 01:23What do you mean, no resolve regen or upgrades?
01:25 - 01:28Have they played a single Roguelike in their lives?
01:29 - 01:31Where is the fun and excitement?
01:31 - 01:34You're supposed to get stronger as you go on
01:34 - 01:37...with enemies getting more challenging and varied.
01:37 - 01:40Instead we get a Dodgeball-like.
01:40 - 01:42Sir it's just day 1, players will get-
01:42 - 01:46I was blasting off in lootsplosions on day 1 of Sentinel!
01:46 - 01:48We have to give people some time to improve.
01:48 - 01:52Improve on what, getting ready for Hades 2?
01:53 - 01:54ACTION Role Playing Game!
01:56 - 01:57I play PoE to pop screens of mobs.
01:57 - 02:00And get better loot to pop more.
02:00 - 02:03Not to feel like I'm playing as a CI player with Elditch Battery.
02:04 - 02:08Give me something to get excited about in Sanctum.
02:08 - 02:13Extra projs, random auras, special supports, items that break regular flow
02:14 - 02:16anything to feel like I'm building something different!
02:17 - 02:21But no, here, have your 8th curse to enrich your run!
02:27 - 02:29I like PoE and I like Roguelikes.
02:30 - 02:34This was supposed to be 3.13 coming back to life again.
02:34 - 02:36And have fun creating new builds.
02:41 - 02:42For too long...
02:43 - 02:47For too long have I not felt the league mechanic giving more than a single Heist contract.
02:48 - 02:53God forbid, players having power over enemies!
02:54 - 02:56But it's my fault to get my hopes on...
02:56 - 02:59...before the saviour of this game comes.
03:00 - 03:02THE FIXER OF ALL PROBLEMS, POE 2!
03:04 - 03:07Don't worry, we will have fun in 2025.
03:14 - 03:16It's their game, after all.
03:19 - 03:23Who am I to know what's fun and rewarding?
03:25 - 03:26I give up.
03:31 - 03:33Dying is fun.
03:40 - 03:46But if they think I will enter Sanctum waste 20 mins for 5 Orbs of Chance
03:46 - 03:49...they're sorely mistaken.
03:53 - 03:56See you in week 3 patch.
