Your thoughts on Ruthless replacing regular for league events?

Ruthless is a preference. Nothing wrong with loving it or hating it.

But now that we have special league events only available in Ruthless mode, it is interesting to note a few things.

This was said when Ruthless was announced
-Ruthless is not for everyone.
-Ruthless is not a replacement for regular Path of Exile.
-Ruthless is not an indication that we will make that change in the regular game

And also very specifically -Ruthless was done as a side project and is not taking resources from Path of Exile


Curious if people notice or care that Ruthless now is taking league event content from regular PoE?

This pretty clearly contradicts the idea that Ruthless would not diminish or replace regular PoE. League end events are a very consistent part of regular PoE.

Even if you love Ruthless, that is a very quick deviation from how Ruthless was introduced, no?

I think this is by far the worst event I've ever seen.

It's the first time that they do something different for events.
Quite bold to claim that Ruthless "takes over" the regular events just because it happened once.
Plus the gauntlets event was also normal PoE btw and not ruthless.

i wold always skip evens if they were in ruthless only. i will never try ruthless. even if they had guaranteed mtx for trying it

its almost like there are 3 events this league
its almost like events are optional and the main game is still there untouched
its almost like you don't have to engage with it if you don't want to

almost


almost..........................

Between Ruthlesss and not playing PoE, I'll choose not playing PoE rofl.

Well, ruthless is pretty niche and the 'with gold' mode is even more.

So I'm not too convinced about it being a proper fit as an event for everyone.


A bit of a filler, but it's something.

I mean, it did take over this league event content. Apologies if my wording seemed like it was saying it would permanently do so.

Im pointing out that Ruthless did replace regular PoE for this end-league 'gold version' content. Is that somehow in dispute?

So, lets break it down. Curious what picture you have in your head.

All previous events were all in regular PoE.
Ruthless introduced, claimed it would not detract from regular PoE content.
Now events that would be in regular PoE are in Ruthless.

Where do you disagree exactly? Curious to hear.

I love Ruthless. Slower gameplay and item scarcity add more depth for me. But this mode definitely requires more time. If we had "Standard Ruthless SSF" it would be my favorite mode. Also respec should be free in it because you might need to change your build often, based on what you find.

i just hope new leagues wont have a ruthless only mode...and if ppl dont want to play ruthless then they can stay in standard...this would really suck,but i can see them actually doing it
