Announcing Ruthless

Flasks and Life/Mana are not restored upon entering town or your hideout. Vendors that sell Flasks (and Helena in your hideout) can refill them for you. This disincentivises the strategy of using Portal Scrolls as an instant full heal.
- That's cool


Im not hardcore player to be clarified but I can't wait to try ruthless mode! Finally good news GGG! You know we love you anyway! <3

Here is your alpha tester :D

So does this mean that we'll finally have fun mode back in the main game?

No fun allowed :)

This will be fun...well at least they have to let ppl chose from more than 4-5 skill at begin of end in a zombie/spark/trap mode

i think you should return atleast flame dash with 1 charge to travel skills pool to have a possibility to dodge some deadly boss skills or it will be almost impossible to survive in a lot of fights. also i think conc exalted and another orbs should stay. and removing influence on crafting?) cmon, this is to much. crafting should stay as it is in poe right now, it will be almost unreachable, but possibility must be in.

Utility Flasks can not gain charges while active and have lower duration than they do in regular Path of Exile.

No charges? I don't know what you are planning, but isn't this similar to the mistake where bosses had immunities, like immune to ignite? A mistake where it decreased build diversity.

But if I were to trust you, it kinda does make sense for flasks not to gain charges during their effect. But now you have a conflict with Overflowing Chalice and Enkindling orbs. As I would see it, one or some of the "cannot gain charges during flask effect" would need to be changed to something like "Can gain 10% of flask charge recovery during flask effect". Then instilling orbs would be for automation but with downtimes, and enkindling orbs would be for higher effect/duration but with reactionary/planned usage.
