So the main problem with SSF leagues is that...
| |
" play SSF to make game harder. Ask for making game easier. "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason
is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms." | |
" Running a few tier 1 blue maps takes a lot of skill though rite? |
|
You don't need to buff droprates for ssf, you just manage your expectations. And if you e.g. find voltaxic on a melee char either keep it to look at or roll a second char.

If they go through the trouble of doing a SSF league, they should absolutely not buff the drop rate. The whole purpose behind such a league is the challenge. It's a bit ridiculous to ask for a challenge - to make the game harder - just to request that it be made easier.
People have been playing SSF since the start of POE. It's very doable. No need to dumb it down. - Rose

That's the real problem... everyone has "the point". And "the point" is different depending on who you talk to.

" If all people think a sfl amounts to is increased drop rates then absolutely there should never be a sfl. |

" It's not always about making the game "harder". For a lot of people, it's to make the experience different. It's about beating the game by your self, with YOUR drops/crafts, not buying someone else's. "Farming Dried Lake/Dominus/whetevr for chaos recipe, then hit the store" will never be a challenge nor fun in my eyes. And I play to have fun in PoE, like all other games. And THAT is why _I_ play self found; I prefer doing shit by my self, finding shit myself, making shit myself - taking a shit by myself. I can grind for dangerously many hours - and even more so, if the chance for an upgrade was possible. After hitting, well, level 80, the chance of an upgrade in form of a rare drop is too small. But hey, I don't ask for more orbs. Or more uniques. I just feel the progression of rares is a little bit "off". Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you. Last edited by Phrazz on Apr 30, 2016, 4:28:47 PM

" Being SSF for 3+ years, I agree with that. It's been a long time since I've had a rare upgrade, and my character is in her 90s. - Rose

" Same here. I've been in from CB PoE and me and my pet Kiwi have never seen a Voltaxic drop, or a Bino, or a Shavs, or a Tabula Rasa, any 6L gear, or a 101 other great gear . Until Perandus League 5L drops were always a Blue Moon rare event too. I finally have 1 Tabula Rasa I bought from Cadiro so without him PoE will just be back to the old and tired starvation arpg and farm forever for shit drops that it has always been. There is ZERO FUN FACTOR in that. It is clear that quality of drops would need to go up significantly for a SSF... I thought it was SFL: Self-Found League... to want to play it. For gear you get that is not usable on the current build, that's what our stash is for to save it for theory crafting and making another build around that great gear. I get a Voltaxic Rift drop on my current fire totem Magma Orb fire build I'd stash it and make another new build around it. Build diversity and replaying with a different skill(s) is the biggest thing PoE has going for it. If GGG takes that away by taking Cadiro Perandus out and keeping great gear drops gated behind rng so as to make then a once in a blue moon drop event kills the central theme of PoE: build crafting diversity to our hearts content. We can't craft builds for endgame viability with shit drops all the time (and making us farm grind many 100s of hours for 1 great item just isn't right. Most of us have time limitations). "You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration. The perfect solution to fix Trade Chat: www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2247070 |
