hoho did Jerle buy his challenges? say it ain't so Jerle.

I don’t think it matters. The only difference between buying a challenge and buying gear to do a challenge is the latter usually costs more.

hoho sure it does.

Jerle, triple G should really hire you for either Q&A or bug testing ;)

You've done it twice, do you think you'll make it a regular thing of 48/48, or just kinda have to wait till you see the ruthless challenges each league to decide?

This league Ruthless was significantly tougher. Those who tried would know that the player pool was alot smaller (whether it is due to the novelty of ruthless challenges wearing off, or the lack of a complete cheese build like explody totems). Just the smaller player pool alone made progress and gearing much harder, even in trade league, all else being the same. So yes, I think it's really tough to say 48/48 can be a regular thing. It pretty much depends on the dynamics of each ruthless league, the interest from the community, and the challenges involved.

Grats. Was Ruthless very busy? I enjoyed the beta experience but haven't tried it again since.

Thanks! Busy as in teeming with people? As responded above, the player pool is small. Probably half or a third the size of last league? Likely no more than 1k active players.

Should SSF have a different color icon for completing challenges? And a different type of challenge than, for example, the regular mode?

I really dont think it make sense to split the community any finer. Sure, SSF would be harder. But I think in the case of Ruthless, trade and SSF are alot closer than standard trade and SSF.

Thanks! But I know myself well enough that I suck for QA or bug testing xD

Still sane, Exile? Well done Jerle :)

Finally finished 48/48. Took 2 weeks to finish 40/40 and 6 more weeks to finish ruthless 8/8... Ruthless is alot harder on the uber challenges this league without explody totem. Shoutout to Noein who I think is going to carry alot of people to ruthless 8/8 this league :D

AMA I guess?

I did it now too Thanks to Noein_Mini_Guard!! Last leage it was Redzdets! Well and all other Traders who buy my Items on trade!! 2 Leagues 48/8 was really work! But without the good players who play Ruthless from the start.. it would be even more painful!! Its not that special we did the 48/48 but it takes a lot of effort!

Agree. Grats!

forgot to say congrats.

88/88 with PoE2 in case they also have 40/40 for the normal league?
They better pull over your mtx totem collection into 2!

Haha. If they dont, it will be a good excuse to stop this ridiculous streak.

Congratulations, again.

My question - how do you find the time? And motivation??
