My advice to new players.
I'm definitely a noob compared to most who post here. As rough as it is, I am really enjoying the difficulty of Ruthless HC SSF. It is teaching me a lot about positioning, what MoBs are dangerous, etc. This is a lot of stuff that I could just ignore before.
If I get a little bent over a stupid death (and they are totally my fault stupid), I'll hop on my RF Chieftain, run through some MoBs to satiate my need to murder things, then get back at it. For as rough as it is to play, it's actually fun for me. I also like not having 10000000 items thrown at me every time I kill something. makes loot a bit more meaningful in my opinion. |

Don't start playing PoE unless you have no live and are ok with reading through dozens of wiki pages to understand the game mechanics.
That would also be a good advice for new players. |

Ruthless for new players is a sound advice because it'll shorten the length of time required for them to decide if gambling with extra longer windup time is worth their time or not.
Ruthless should be [Removed by Support].

" nooooooo you can't have fun in this game especially not in the harder modes and especially especially not as a 'newer' player! This game is supposed to be impossible to pick up play and enjoy!! |

" I get the whole Funny Meme thing, and to an extent yeah I can concur. But to the Average PoE Player, beating A10 Kitava is a serious achievement. When the entire literal endgame is "Aspirational Content" that players are supposed to wistfully watch streamers do for them, doesn't it feel like maybe something's broken somewhere? She/Her

" I would posit that the broken part is watching the streamers. |

Lots of healthy assuming going on in this thread lets see how it goes. Also, who asked?

For the likes of this filthy casual, any content that requires gear I have to trade for is beyond aspirational. So, yeah, I know my limits, more or less, and it doesn't bother me that I'll likely never face any of the "end-game" bosses. I had my fun in the campaign, and use maps to farm for higher tier gear and crafting currency. =^[.]^=
