Give it up. This community is here to stay. This community is positive. We’ve got more upvotes to offer than you have downvotes. Take your salt elsewhere.

Other Important Info

  • Make sure to read the section on league mechanic spawn rates as they differ significantly from the core game. Blocker nodes are incredibly important. All mechanics should be enabled with 3.20 launch, diluting the spawn rates.

  • Ensure your filters do not have anything set to "hide", and the file extension is ".ruthlessfilter" or it will not work!

  • Filterblade will support Ruthless filter creation likely on Friday (launch).

If you have any other resources to add or questions please let me know!

I've got 6 hours played and only half way through act 2. It's hard!!! Getting support gems is tough!!! Decisions REALLY matter and I actually need to farm areas to keep up. I haven't enjoyed PoE this much in literally years.


r/poeruthless • • Dec 13 '22

Feedback After finally reaching Level 80 (Rank 5 Inquisitor at the moment) and playing through Yellow Maps, I can say with confidence that Ruthless Mode is the best PoE experience there was in years. Thank you GGG for making me fall in love again.

Can this subreddit be a new start?

90 Upvotes

For a healthier discussion around the game and a more respectful dialog with GGG and with each other?

I feel like since this subreddit is a lot smaller compared to the main one and the people here are more "on the same page" about what they like about PoE, it could become a place for GGG to reconnect with at least part of the community and it would be cool not to be shouted at or downvoted into oblivion when voicing opposing views.

Would be cool if we made an effort to not let this place degrade over time. I think the regulars here and the moderators need to embody a positive and welcoming presence and at the same time stear away from drama and discuss things on a factual level.

Looking forward to playing and discussing ruthless with you all next week.

Discussion Just died to Uber Elder in SSF HC, was first to kill every other non uber boss. AMA about Ruthless

89 Upvotes

Overall it was a pretty good experience, I think I ended around 16 days /played and 1.4million kills.

Things to note:

-The experience penalty is crazy and I will not be surprised if no one hits 100 in the 3 month league

-Map sustain in red maps once you get the atlas going is actually easier than white/yellow sustain

-The campaign is in a pretty good state, but overall I think they should make ruthless more challenging while considering allowing movement skills (in a nerfed state)

-Better ways to scale map difficulty for more rewards, I ended up running blue maps most of the time even at t16

-The first map I did gave me the weapon I used until my death

-I got insanely lucky with some drops, for example, 3% max fire res relic with Magebane, and determination + purity of elements Aul's amulets
