3.20 - Path of Hades League

This new sanctum Rogue Lite reminds of the game Hades where each run has random buffs to make every run different. But in this case with random debuffs as well.

Lets see how much the RNG will influence the gameplay experience but i assume lots of runs will be skipped early in case you get unlucky.

Looks crazy cool. Finally some new content!

Honestly just looks like Labyrinth updated with a resolve bar, some roguelike elements via boons / afflictions and not much else overall.

I LOVE me some Hades, FTL, DD etc but I ain't sure on this one.

Heist was supposed to be something like this, right? What we ended with was an absolutely annoying side activity only a select people can do without going crazy.

If one didn't have to backtrack to the entrance after stealing the item, Heist would have been infinitely more swallowable...

Fully off map mechanic - I don't like them.

I mean it has lots of maps to complete the Sanctum.
Not sure but i assume it will be finisehd by act 8 at earliest if you dont spam it.

It would be awesome if the challenge of the sanctum was to mechanically play the fights correctly and keep your resolve high instead of overtuned-as-fuck monsters like we've gotten ever since Delirium league.

Ive been playing some hades lately too, perfect

Or you could just play Hades.

...I know, I know. At least it's not inspired by Ocean's Eleven but still. Is the best PoE can offer now a re-purposed, shoe-horned dodecagonal imitation of someone else's wheel?

I KNOW as well that I'm constantly calling for a rogue-lite/like mode in PoE...but not like this. Not a league/expansion. They come with way too much baggage and expectations...and yet still don't go hard enough to do it right. :(

Although I do dig where they put it. Fellshrine is long overdue some love.
