Is this something to take into consideration or is this part of the challenge? Thanks! It's something we'll take in consideration. The way we're looking at it is if a mechanic is impossible without being able to teleport away, it should be changed for both Ruthless and the core game.

The current plan is to keep Energy Blade but due to the nature of Ruthless, it's harder to get Energy Shield.	Posted by Bex_GGG on Nov 1, 2022, 6:20:40 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post

If players used regular Path of Exile ones then they would filter out items that are actually very useful in Ruthless. Ideally, item filters wouldn't be necessary because items are so scarce :) There is no default item filter in Ruthless for this reason.

NGL I was honestly a little excited about it when I first heard about it, because I assumed (wrongly) any mode based on extreme punishment and arbitrary scarcity would be HCSSF to boot. The fact that trade leagues will exist under the Ruthless banner, seems just meshuggeh. I was looking forward to seeing naked witches rolling into act 5 still using the big trusty ol' bonkwood they found in the mud flats after punching Hillock to liver paté with their dainty, blush-knuckled bare hands, because they hadn't found a skill gem yet, and speccing into melee strike range would be #1 op tree strat for all the bonkers. Meanwhile big thicc marauder clutching two tiny little mismatched glowsticks, one in each massive fist, rubbing them together furiously to create a few tiny sparks and trying to push his tree up towards Divine Judgment/Wrath so he can actually kill a whole rhoa instead of subsisting on a diet of zapped roaches and crabs. You know it, I know it, trade league no matter how much arbitrary hardship is still gonna be cues Yakety Sax [19:36]#Mirror_stacking_clown: try smoke ganja every day for 10 years and do memory game	Posted by crunkatog on Nov 1, 2022, 6:26:29 PM Quote this Post
