Discussing my PoE HCSSF Ruthless Experience (Crucible League)
6Discussion of my experience of HCSSF Ruthless. I also previously played the (non-hardcore, non-SSF) Ruthless with Gold Event, which was a much different experience.
Overall I think HCSSF Ruthless is a bit too... Ruthless. The other leagues in Ruthless (Non-hardcore, Non-hardcore SSF, and Hardcore) I feel are overall fine, but HCSSF is a bit too crazy.
I understand Ruthless is supposed to kind of be this niche mode, but I also believe it's currently in the state where its a bit too niche. There are a lot of PoE players, and there should be a way to tune Ruthless to be slightly more accessible, while still retaining a lot of the difficulty and core aspects such as sparse loot.
Some mechanics like refilling flasks by talking to a certain vendor, are just plain archaic as well. They serve no purpose but to be an extra click and annoyance, that simply is there to further waste a minuscule amount of time in an already highly time consuming game mode.
I think a lot of players would be interested in playing a mode with sparse loot like Ruthless, but there is so many other aspects of Ruthless that just limits the player from many features of the game. Completely cutting out very well liked features of the game just doesn't seem like the right way to go in my opinion. I'd prefer if features like crafting for instance, were implemented into Ruthless in a limited capacity, rather than cut completely from the game.
