Path of Exile is one of the best-rated hack & slash games. This is mainly influenced by the fact that it is a constantly developed free-to-play title, and most of the expansion are met with appreciation from the fans. It could be the same this time, as the studio responsible for the game, Grinding Gear Games has announced a mode called Ruthless, which will be aimed at those looking for a very high level of difficulty. The announcement thus confirmed earlier rumors.
What is Ruthless mode supposed to be?
Ruthless will increase the level of difficulty Mainly due to a significant reduction in the chance of magic item drops. The higher the class of the item, the lower the chance of being able to find it. According to the developers, such a procedure will affect not only the game's difficulty, but also the satisfaction when you finally manage to get a high-tier item.
In addition, crafting is to be made much more difficult, and as if that wasn't enough - in the entire campaign you will be able to find only one Orb of Alchemy, which enables you to turn an item into a rare item.
Ruthless mode is currently being tested by a small group of people in alpha and according to the announcement, its release is expected in December along with the release of update 3.20, which will introduce new content to the game. You can read more about Ruthless on the official forum of the game. As a reminder Path of Exile is available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
