General Discussion - Why GGG doesnt want 2WEEK race to be SSF? - Forum

" Boem wrote: ^ What bars just wrote lol. SSF is about limiting your build options and stretching RNG in your favor, but that's about the extend of where "skill" will bring you in such a game-state. Let me predict how a ladder would have looked like in a SSF 2 week race. 1) flameblast 2) flameblast 3) pizzablast 4) flameblast etc etc... That's just how a SSF race is, get the strongest non-gear dependent set-up and roll as fast as possible. Then put in the time to have a shot at the ladder positions. The current game-state/balance doesn't allow a multitude of divergence from the core SSF builds and as such is very predictable and boring if you desire to compete. To put this in some perspective, i played a tornado shot ranger in the solo event to enter the beta last time and i put in roughly 3x the hours of regular flameblast players. In the top 100 i was the only "attack" based build playing. The top 30 where all flameblast.(probably top 75 to be honest but i didn't bother checking beyond top 30) And that's normal if you consider the parameters your competing in. Peace, -Boem- Ehm umm, no.. Why ? Because ascendency classes... With ascendencies you can use the same driftwood wand and clear t10s almost the same way as with mirrored wand. Monsters have limited amount of life, going overboard dont help at all in most cases. Source: Mathil latest wanderer... And will finish with LEL because everything is now OP as fuck.

Competitions should be self found. Why get knocked out of the top 25 and get no reward just because other guildies are helping each other while you're working your ass off for nothing.	Posted by Siochan on May 8, 2016, 1:06:56 PM Quote this Post

GGG should just have an independent league that is SSF, with no way of having those items go to the other permanent leagues. That way everyone can get on with the way they like to play the game.	Posted by ClickHitBoom on May 8, 2016, 8:22:04 PM Quote this Post
I started my own HC SSF league. (League of one) At 50 so far in mid cruel. About to go get me some Vaal. Melee Guardian. The labyrinth was a pile of turd. Poorly optimized and very taxing on the video card.	Posted by Deleted on May 9, 2016, 12:27:09 AM

It will tank and we'll happily move on to complaining about something more interesting. Perish the thought! The reality if GGG implemented it, would probably shatter our 50 shades of self found fantasy. Let alone that there would never be any agreement as to how far the game would need to be modified to accommodate SSF. An undergound, secret SSF channel on the other hand .... Spoiler Would probably be good for a brief 9 1/2 week temporary SSF league PoE Origins - Piety's story http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2081910 Last edited by DalaiLama on May 9, 2016, 1:40:14 AM	Posted by DalaiLama on May 9, 2016, 1:39:07 AM Quote this Post
" BearCares wrote: Now if it's recognition you desire. Then maybe GGG should give players the option to declare their character SSF, thus preventing that character from trading, partying, or picking up items that another player has dropped on the ground. In exchange you get an alternate art skin with 5x skin transfers. Or some special "hey look I'm SSF mtx" that can only be placed on SSF characters. Would that make you happy? I think even I would be convinced to try it out if I got a cool mtx for it. 1000 times this. There could easily be a SSF toggle on character creation, you could be playing in the same league and just be on a separate leaderboard.

Screw the 2week race, I want permanent SSF as an alternative to permanant HC and SC with no rollover into them from the trash league ideas. Fight censorship https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/	Posted by Mr_Bill on Oct 24, 2016, 12:52:42 PM Quote this Post
