This league has been SO MUCH FUN! I live and breathe for cutthroat in PoE and I've been killed several times and I have killed several players.

I saw this suggestion on the poe subreddit, http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/39ktmf/cutthroat_gave_me_the_best_poe_experiences_so_far/, and it seems pretty good. This guy's suggestion was to add permanent leagues but with a weekly reset of characters and items. I like that idea, since it means people who like cutthroat can play it anytime!

To better clarify my excitement for this league, when I am at work I just can't wait to get back home and play more cutthroat, and when I am home all I play is cutthroat.




I am not trolling. I live and breathe for PVP and especially in ARPG games. I see all of this hate against cutthroat and I feel I have to step up to make sure cutthroat gets the praise it needs from it's INTENDED AUDIENCE, so I am doing that now by posting good things about it.

I played cutthroat several hours today already, and my stream can probably prove a good amount of that time.

Well, since people posting in game forums are almost exclusively those that want to complain, it is extremely suspicious if someone utters praise. He's a troll, most likely. ;)


Read above.

I like the league and it was great except for literally 1 person in the league was doing that thing called 'griefing' to me. I am fine with dying and losing all my gear, but one person repeatedly would come to kill me and take even white items I would be using off my corpse.

The only problem I have in this league is the time it takes to put your gems into a new set of gear. There were many times in this league where I was out of transmutes and couldnt even really afford white items because they kept being stolen from me (by the same person) and with the amount of gems a high level character has, putting them back in gear takes way too long. I would describe it as similar to the snapshotting problem that you fixed earlier, as in it takes way too long to 'set up' a character in cutthroat before you can actually start playing.
One of the things about cutthroat being so chaotic and lawless is that you can have vigilantes come out of the woodwork and try to restore order. I and a few others have been acting as police punishing dry looters. We are pretty well geared and have a few twinks and it's been a HUGE blast! For the past few hours I've been getting reports like "this guy just drylooted me!" and then I would go punish him and all that jazz. It's very fun.

My current gear:



The stun along with the reduced stun threshold mod on Hrimnor's and the chance to freeze on Glacial Hammer makes it pretty easy for me to stunlock criminals into submission :)
How are they "criminals" for playing the game how it's meant to be played?
this is fun.

i keep extra gear so when i die i still having something to wear.
You can tell this league is dead when at any given time of day, even in weekend, you can skim through 1000 players, starting from top, and NOT find any online twitch streaming.
And even if you find one live, chances are more than 90% that is streaming from beta instead of curent league...
3% of the top 2000 are online on a Sunday (10 AM PT) - 55 people level 15+.

Funny, I was streaming last night for several hours... Come on, you posted this on a Sunday morning when everyone is sleeping.

Well, for me it was Sunday afternoon (GMT+2), but the point is i only posted after trying to connect to a stream significant for this league several times per day in last 3 days. In fact, after the first 24h one can hardly find any streams for this league.
Even now, the only live one from first 500+ players is streaming from beta...
So yes, CT is all fine and dandy with the condition to be allowed at most 5 hours every 3 months or so ^^

Selecting from the first 500+ players is not useful. All of the action is under lvl 20, with a fair amount under 30 as well. The people who leveled this league quickly learned that people would prefer to play cutthroat in normal and so that's how it's progressing.

As for the 5 hours every 3 months... where did you get that number from? 5 hours every 3 months is nearly not enough to satisfy the INTENDED AUDIENCE of cutthroat's palate.

All leagues can't be for everyone, like how there's a huge amount of Standard players who won't play Hardcore, and there's a huge amount of Hardcore players who won't play Standard. Personally I've been playing cutthroat relentlessly since it released and I'll be sad when it ends.
