POE2 Ruthless Mode PLEASE!
|
Hi GGG team,
I had a feeling that a vocal minority advocating for changes to make POE2 resemble POE1 might influence the game's direction, and it seems this has come to pass. The recent updates have taken significant steps to align POE2 with POE1. The sheer volume of loot drops and the abundance of currencies already give off a strong POE1 vibe, albeit with a new features, bosses and systems here and there... Given this shift, I have a specific request: please consider implementing a Ruthless Mode for POE2. I’d like to highlight the incredible experience of the first two days of POE2: no exalted orb boost, restrained drop rates, and challenging mechanics that demanded strategy and perseverance. Even the single portal system added a layer of tension and excitement. It was a fantastic start that truly felt fresh and challenging. Now that the game is moving closer to POE1 in terms of general gameplay and loot philosophy, it would be amazing to have the option to play a Ruthless Mode. This would appeal to players like myself who thrive on challenge, difficulty, and the deeply rewarding feeling of earning every victory through hard work. Thank you for considering this feedback, and I hope it resonates with other players who love the thrill of overcoming real challenges. Peace and appreciation, Ket Last bumped on Jan 27, 2025, 12:23:23 PM

Hi Sirius, you got it wrong or maybe you're not aware of what is Ruthless.
It is not about difference between SSF and Trade League, or Regular and Hardcore. I need Ruthless + SSF + Hardcore if possible, like POE1 :) Best Last edited by LiquidRafa#3416 on Jan 21, 2025, 1:29:21 PM

" Hcssf in poe2 is close enough to ruthless in poe1. You're just trying to post on here to let everyone know how superior you are for playing ruthless. This is how ruthless players are. You guys are the equivalent of "cross-fit athletes" in the exercise world. |

Lonnie,
First off, I just want to say I have no intention of showing off or trying to flex here. No one knows me, and I’m just a casual player—definitely not as skilled as many of you. That said, I really enjoy Ruthless mode in POE1 because of the challenge it offers, and I’m disappointed to see that POE2 seems to be getting easier and easier with every update. I came here simply to share my feedback with GGG about what I’d love to see in the game. That’s what I believe these forums are for, right? I’d also be happy to hear your thoughts specifically on the idea I’m proposing. However, I have zero interest in hearing assumptions or opinions about me personally. :) Peace, Ket |

The poor need more scarcity and whipping on the back, once GGG starts looking more like Blizzard, yes.

" Their unrelatable because normal people value and respect their time and want to have a fun experience because they know it's just a game and it means nothing outside virtual reality in the real world. They also have bills, family, kids, etc to invest in so that takes away from the investment of gaming or playing PoE-2. Their mentality to play a dog shit version of the game does not impress me. I think they have mental illness or brain damage honestly. They should just go play a modded version of the game solo at this point and just run their own server to play it on. |

" You seem to confuse difficulty with grinding. In PoE 1 and 2 the player has 100% control over the difficulty they choose. This has nothing to do with the game mode they choose. During the campaign the player can choose the area/act they play in. During mapping they select their atlas passive points, waystone tier, waystone affixes, additional content. All of these decide difficulty and have 0 to do with the game mode. What SSF and Ruthless do is make currency/items scarcer. So all it does is add time you need to grind for these things. It is a time increase. Not more, not less. So it has 0 to do with status or bragging. |

" Your idea is terrible. We do not need more punishment. The changes they have made thus far have not made it that much easier for a lot of other people. If you want more challenge, go play HCSSF. Or hell, just play an off meta build. Come up with something completely wacky. Challenge yourself to play the game with only white gear. Those are better ideas that increase the tedium and challenge for you. Requesting more punishment and grind in this game is a foolish idea that will kill it. You hardcore elitist types tend to forget that your community is tiny compared to the rest of the playerbase. |
