Announcing Ruthless
" No worries, it can't be worse than the other modes after 5 leagues of nerfs " We know, all resources are being consumed by PoE2. We are under no illusion anything is being done for PoE1 beyond the absolute necessary to sustain the 60% retention. " Yes, we know, Mageblood. Everything else will be just as useless as it is now. Dropping a belt with t1 life and 2x t1 res won't feel good, if that's roughly what you need to even get close to white maps by now. " This simply means that people will play miners and summoners and pretty much any other build that relies as little on items as possible. Which also means that finding anything new still won't feel "amazing", because it won't really be an upgrade. Builds that would feel the impact just won't get from the spot to begin with. " PoE got popular because of the amount of content and the power creep, not because of what it was. Stop making the game harder with every patch, nobody wants it. Hopefully the numbers of Ruthless will show that, so I guess there's a positive. " Nice! Nothing better than toxic co-op! |

Definitely not for everyone, though this gives me no hope they'll backtrack on the direction the base game has been going because it is still catering towards traders at the expense of the game itself.

Ruthless does sound interesting but this also worries me.
After the complete disaster 3.19 was, you would think the ONLY priority would be saving the game from dying, not making completely new game modes on top of a game that is currently in a very bad place. I understand the work on ruthless started a long time ago but you would think everything else would be placed on hold to put out the massive fires that the game is currently suffering from. I can only hope the seriousness of the situation is not taken lightly or underestimated. |

Looking forward to giving it a try, played SSF for a long time now so some more added challenge and slower pace would be nice to go through on some downtime when I don't feel like playing the league or standard

Cool. Can the normal game go back to 3.14 now?

Vinktarded - L100 Pathfinder GoogleDiversityHire - L100 Necromancer 3.13 was the pinnacle of PoE. IVYS+1 Gang 4 Life. |

I love everything about this. The only drawback I see is the following quote:
" Ideally, item filters wouldn't be necessary because items are so scarce :) | |
Finally, thank you! Can't wait to try this.
