So, how is Path of Exile right now?
Better. Like any league start, 3.20 was not without its issues. A disconnect bug threw players back in the queue, and a bug with one of the bosses in the Sanctum squashed Zizaran POE currency trade . A live update thread details all the hotfixes and updates, which mostly seem minor in nature.

With the general state of the game being largely back to normal, a lot of focus has been on the Forbidden Sanctum itself. Billed as a roguelike, it features a four-floor dungeon with bosses, traps, and new mechanics. It introduces a new health pool of sorts called resolve, which you lose when you get hit by attacks or traps. If you run out of resolve (or just die normally), your run is over. Each floor has eight rooms, and every map you run on the atlas gives you access to one room.

As league mechanics go, this one is definitely interesting. Because of the way resolve works, it highly incentivizes players learning boss patterns and dodging skillshots—even if you can tank Sirus beams to the face, if you get hit in the Sanctum you'll still lose resolve. The rewards are definitely there for those willing to make the commitment, however. I've seen Sanctum end bonuses including multiple divine orbs and there's even a screenshot floating around on Reddit of someone being offered a mirror.

Starting out, it can be frustrating. I had multiple runs early on where I fought through a few rooms, got hit by some minibosses, and ended up leaving with nothing. The Aureus coins you pick up in the dungeon mean nothing if you don't find the merchant, which given the random nature of the rooms is no guarantee. And certain builds will have a much easier time than others, with totem and minion builds seemingly head and shoulders above the rest. But Grinding Gear's mechanics often come out a little overtuned and then get iterated on over the course of a league, so I'm hopeful this one will end up being a ton of fun POE currency for sale .
