Ruthless separate MTX

The implementation of distinct Ruthless MTX for each upcoming league would serve as a powerful incentive for players to participate in the game mode.

no

Honestly, I think I'd be here for it.

In a vacuum my response likely would've been similar to Lagwin's - though it might've been a few characters longer. :P

But with GGG having already lengthened the duration of challenge leagues and their current pace of development seemingly not being sustainable into the long-term, I think anything GGG can do to incentivise people playing the game for longer would be in the best interests of both the community and GGG's own bottomline. A handful of MTX fewer going into the cash shop, but serving to encourage people to play longer and end up buying more supporter packs, sounds like a win for them.

I would agree. Separate mtx for hardcore and softcore would also be a nice change. GGG will likely never do it though. I think they did a separate hc and sc challenge event back in 1.x and decided to never do it again after.

Its unlikely to change unless several streamers start promoting the idea.

As it stands we at least get an extra totem pole. Even if it's just a recolour or variation of what the regular bench league receives, it would be a nice incentive to keep pushing.

to me the part that matters is what MTX are we talking about?

once upon a time GGG separated hardcore and softcore temp league rewards.

the result is very few people got the hardcore rewards compared to the softcore one.

i have no data/hard evidence, but one could come to the logical conclusion that GGG found it not worth their time making specific rewards that only a few people can enjoy.

this is reflected in races. races had alt art. ggg found that it took too much time and effort and was not worth the effort to run races and create specific rewards for them.

GGG DOES run specific content nowadays that are not meant for the casuals. such as gauntlets etc. but if you stop awhile and look at the rewards, its all paid mtxs. ggg would rather just give out paid mtx/lootboxes rather than create specific rewards for these challenge chasers.

if GGG does this for ruthless. i m pretty sure everyone is fine with it. people who want to try ruthless would give it a shot. and ggg puts very little (to no effort) in creating the rewards. everyone is happy.

if GGG instead opts to make ruthless specific mtx rewards that cannot be obtained other ways. people would definitely be upset as FOMO could be too strong.

this would lead to
1. players researching guides on how to obtain the rewards and probably not enjoy their time earning it.
2. players accept that they wont achieve the rewards but get upset. this COULD lead players to feel that the game has changed and may discourage them from their continued enjoyment of the game.
3. players so consumed with fomo that they find ways to get carried to achieve the rewards. and it doesnt stop at carries. it goes to the point of account sharing, RMT etc.

for sure one can argue "thats on them". but on the flipside. as a company, why does ggg have to put so much effort to make a small group of players happy while possibly causing a larger group to get upset?

to elaborate on number 2. after GGG merged softcore and hardcore rewards. all mtxs in the game could be earned by players on softcore and with carries. alt art could be traded for. mtx chasers who are weaker players are used to this norm.

as long as the mtx reward for ruth less is not exclusive, its a good idea. else. nah.

not enough having your 'exclusive' number color that you want to be more exclusive with unique things only for playing miserable mode?

I can't tell if you're being serious or this is just the average bait from this forums

there are many people who want this actually.

i used to be one of them. there used to be a lot of glory in such things. but the devs recognized that its not financially beneficial enough for them to reward players this way.
