The No Regrets mode in Path of Exile is one of the latest additions to the years-old RPG that aims to provide an added experience aimed at veterans of old-school games like Diablo 2 that drastically increases the rarity of items in an attempt to make each. new most significant update. Now, one of the game’s most famous characters, Octavian “Kripparrian” Morosan, a PoE and Diablo veteran and Twitch streamer, is back to try out the new mode, and I’m still a huge fan of his.
Kripparrian has long been at the forefront of the hardcore RPG community, initially gaining attention as the first person to complete a community challenge to max out a character in World of Warcraft without dying. Since then, he’s been one of the first to beat Diablo 3 on Hardcore Inferno difficulty, the highest setting at launch, both on a hardcore character (permadeath) and before a patch that made the game much more easy. .
Along with this, Kripparrian was one of the most prominent personalities on YouTube and Twitch playing Path of Exile during its early years; he was one of the main reasons I jumped into the game right after release, enthused by him for the massively complex skill tree and potential variety of builds. He’s currently primarily a Hearthstone streamer, but has returned to Path of Exile to hang out with his new super hard mode.
Playing Path of Exile Ruthless reminds him of playing Kripparrian at launch, he says with an enthusiastic smile, “but a little better.” He talks about the excitement caused by scarcity, saying, “The fact that everything really matters is absolutely true and makes for a more enjoyable experience in my opinion.” He also plays “solo” (meaning he doesn’t trade with other players), though he notes that trading Ruthless is a good vehicle for those unwilling to partake of what Ruthless solo offers.
“If you want better gear, you just have to kill more monsters,” says Kripparrian, “that’s how it works, and I love it. It’s good; You don’t have to worry about anything else.” He points out that even crafting is kept to a bare minimum, and due to a lack of resources, he’ll likely only end up with a few pieces of his gear. There’s also a big penalty for gaining experience at high levels: despite being level 92, he reckons he’s spent almost as long as “after level 100 in Unruthless.”
This means that if you’re playing Ruthless, Kripparrian recommends a tough and versatile character. “Now if I die, I’ll lose about three hours of game time,” he explains, referring to the amount of experience lost after death. Ruthless also lacks movement abilities, so he recommends farming “tons and tons of low-level cards.” Speaking of the final content, he adds: “You really need a character that can navigate any map. This may mean that you have to map very slowly, but you still have to map.”
As with the other systems, Kripparrian highlights the ability to trade three gems of the same color to get another gem of the same color. Since he can’t buy gems from vendors in Ruthless, this is one of the best ways to try and get the ones he wants. “Having played the character for so long, I can say that you will eventually get the support gems you want. I think my character found all the support gems in the game except the non-upgraded premium ones. I couldn’t find Empower, Enlighten and Portal.”
With maps having far fewer mechanics in Ruthless, but seasonal mechanics appearing on all maps, Kripparrian says he’s excited about the ability of seasons to “convert and define a new league in a much more meaningful way in Ruthless.” compared to normal gameplay”. the playable league. in reality there will be more differences in the league”. However, he’s not a fan of the league’s current offerings, so while “it’s usually an advantage, in this particular case it’s more of a disadvantage, as the new mechanics are terrible for assassins.”
In addition to the Ruthless mode, Path of Exile 3.20 introduces a roguelike dungeon called The Forbidden Sanctum, as well as a monster mod overhaul to replace the controversial Path of Exile Archnemesis system. We’ve got more of the best games like Diablo for PC if you’re looking for ways to satisfy your loot cravings before Diablo 4’s release date hits later this year.
