BroTeam Cutthroat (1 Hour, Solo, Not HC)

This event is not part of Race Season Two. There are no prizes.

You may have heard of BroTeamPill - the Youtube channel that produces awesome videos like these. They're filming a second Path of Exile video - in the format of their "Fate of" videos (i.e. where they join bad MMOs and do strange things). To facilitate these shenanigans, we're running a cutthroat league for an hour so that they can get some footage. You're welcome to join in!

They're intending to mercilessly kill everyone, but because you guys have played a lot more, it may not go as they planned. Either way, it's sure to produce a special video.

A summary of general Cutthroat rules:
  • Partying is disabled in this event. You can still hunt with your friends, but there will be friendly fire.
  • This is a separate short-duration league that has its own stash (as usual). At the end of the event, characters and stashed items will be moved to Default.
  • There's a PvP damage multiplier because players start with a lot more life than they do damage. This multiplier will be adjusted substantially based on feedback from this event and others.
  • Players are hostile by default to all other players.
  • You can ctrl+click on the entrance to an area to use the Instance Management screen to manually enter any other player's instance of an area.
  • Cut-throat instances can hold a maximum of 12 players.
  • This test is not a hardcore league. When you die, you lose the normal experience penalty for your difficulty plus 30% of your current level. You also drop all inventory and equipped items. Your flasks, skill gems (even ones in your inventory) and quest items are not dropped.
  • If you were killed by another player, your lost experience is given to them.
  • If you attempt to abruptly leave the game in a non-town instance, you have to wait 5 seconds and are unable to move or use flasks.
  • The grace period of invulnerability upon entering an area is 20 seconds. This should start once the player is mostly done loading.
  • Non-partied players only show up on the map if they're nearby.
  • There are no notifications for players joining or leaving areas.
  • Portals cannot be used until they have been up for five seconds.
  • You cannot apply microtransaction effects to items in cut-throat. You may dance and have pets.

LOL. Sounds hilarous overall, looking forward to the vid! My money says they get their rear ends handed to them by PoE veterans.
I like it.
Wow that sounds ridiculously fun! :D It's a pity it'll be middle of the night in my time zone. And I'll most likely be drunk by that time as it is Friday :)
Hope to see more of these in the future!
:( that is about 2 AM my time :(. And when I read there was a cutthroath especially one were some people are trying to get footage I wanted so badly to kill a lot of people.
Oh well maybe next cutthroath.
lol at the PoE vid with 2 and a half minutes of TQ in it. :-)
Ascension tied to Lab is the worst thing GGG has done...apart from GGG's philosophy on Trading. Oh and Gambling Loot boxes. And selling out to tencent.

I used to love GGG. I supported to ensure GGG remained independent, now I just wish I could get my money back. -_-
A game company made an entirely new event especially for one youtube channel? it's like 7 years of clicking the same presents during the Winter Veil never happened!
