Announcing Ruthless

20 years ago Ruthless would have been such a fun mode for me (not many different games to play and a lot of spare time), but these days wasting time wandering in act 1 for 10 days just doesn't cut it.
Kudos to the players who will play this mode tho. |

Will you disable Energy Blade? Because I imagine it will directly violate your core Ruthless principles especially on an Inquisitor.

This sounds amazing, can't wait to try this out! =D

" While I'm not keen on this either, they DID say that a few developers were doing it as a side project, thus no resources were wasted. Last edited by Lisa_GGG#0000 on Nov 2, 2022, 3:59:36 PM

" SHHH you stole my Secret Tech and blabbed it all over the internet!!11 Nerf EVERYTHING until Chain Hook is good. Then it breaks the format, and then nerf Chain Hoook. In a more serious note, it won't be long before one or more of the mega eco clans devises a way to flood the servers with bot accounts to get skill gem tokens to milk Siosa and resell the skill gems for real money, or some such. Or rent taxi service through acts because they have the servers' de facto monopoly on Spell Totem Support or something.

Sounds super hardcore. And I love it.

" You say that, but also custom atlas tree, custom vendor recipes, crafting changes, and the serious fuckups with Scourge, Archnemesis, Kalandra. " So the founders, because who else would have spare time with all this league and PoE 2 pressure. Also unpaid labor ftw. " Because what this community needs is more elitism. " Ruthless is a mode about frustration, tedium and anxiety. " That's the thing with nostalgia, you think something was amazing and the best thing ever, until you try it out again years later and realize that it was actually terrible but you just didn't know better and it was the only thing you had. What you really want is to be that person again from back then with the life and free time you had. That's the real nostalgia. " Moar Elitism! " If the refill doesn't cost anything then it disincentivises nothing. It just wastes even more of the player's time walking to an NPC. But Chris has been going on and on about this for years so I guess he finally gets his way with it. My guess is people will give it a try, realize what a monstrous waste of time it is and that it effectively requires you to play 80h/week to get anywhere and never touch it again. Really this should just be called Snailmode or Grindfest because this is all it seems to be: just slow slow slow slow grinding. Reducing drops and getting by with what you get wasn't enough, had to gut all movement speed enhancements, too. Gotta waste more time! I don't know if GGG are aware of this but "challenging" is not a synonym for "tedious". |

Looks very cool. Appreciate the passion of the side project. Good luck to those who have the mettle to attempt it. :D
I'll be zooming in the base game, but maybe I'll drop in once I hit 40/40 in 3.20 if I still have an itch to scratch. |
