Playiing LE made me realize why I loved Sanctum
|
So LE just dropped their MP "final final final revision 9.0 - we're not gonna wipe" release recently.
i've been taking a break from POE to play LE. i played LE way back in early access, a lot has changed. the crafting has changed and some of the skills have been tweaked. i initially went there thinking it was for a break but i ended up getting to the endgame. i've had many hours spent on LE previously and have had many solid hours during this weekend starting fresh. i also have a buttload of hours on sanctum. after a while i realized the 2 are quite similar. both sanctum and LE has relics. both relics from both games cannot be modified albeit POE has the 5 for 1 recipe. both use a jigsaw puzzle layout scheme sanctum's resolve/affliction/floors is unique. i wont say thats the similarity, the similarity in sanctum and LE's end game is how the path branches out and the anticipation. when i play sanctum, a key factor pushing me forward is the ability to plan my progress and work towards something that "i want". you dont normally always get what you want in sanctum, but theres always the allure of the possibility. in LE, the end game's map system presents you branching paths. each with a reward, you can see the reward of 1-2 connected nodes, and further nodes are hidden or have their reward rarity hidden. theres a lot of in betweeners where you get rewards that you dont want but you do them anyway to progress towards a reward that you DO want. in some ways it is has similarities with delve where you keep traveling towards where you want to be. why i didnt mention delve earlier and why i would still say sanctum is because it's something that we do every single map. delve requires a lot of setup, getting sulphite, digging, getting azurite, upgrading. that hell a lot of work. but it did give a slight sense of carrot on a stick. the carrot effect is much stronger in sanctum league. just one more map- just one more room. LE is similar, ok let me grab this reward, i need to do 2 maps. by the time you grabbed the reward maybe a few more nodes are revealed to have more rewards. carrot effect is in full effect in LE.

Thinly veiled LE shill has no power here.

LE's endgame is basically infinite Nexus from Synthesis league.

" yes except for they dont have packsize mechanic yet so monoliths feel abit empty, im sure eventually they will add more monster density as ppl really seem to want that |
