Will you play SSF on 2.6?

SSF on HC = real HC. Any other SSF just little harder normal.

I will play because it will feel communal without being in your face.It's like nice to play solo but also nice to know others are too.I find it easier to be full on SSF than full on trader,80% of my gear tends to be self found anyway and I have played without trading in past leagues.I don't go out of my way to SF but I do to trade.

Loot becomes more meaningful in SSF as it takes longer to gear up loot drops will be more sparkly.Since I last played SF there are more ways to upgrade so it is more interesting now,Somethings require a little thinking to get rather than pure rng.

I have been SSF since I started playing long ago. I just hoard all my currency, I don't think I've ever traded or grouped with anyone ever. I think I sold a Vaal skill gem the other day, that's literally the only time I have ever sold or traded with anyone ever.

It's really because I'm ignorant of what I need to pick up, and only pick up linked multi color'd stuff, and the minimum rarity I pick up is yellow's unless it has the multi colored linked slots. So yeah, SSF league will be nothing new to me, just means starting over again, which also isn't new, because I've never gotten out of a2 because I used to only play HC. I think with SSF, unless there are actual achievements for hardcore SSF, I'll just do standard SSF. I found early on in arpg career, that I really enjoy self found, I feel I am achieving something and progressing because of my patience and that rngesus blesses me with the preciouseses item upgrades.

no way, with fucked rng, with fucked crafting, no ty

yeah and if you wanted to try to craft your own stuff you'd have to pick up so many rares and wisdom scrolls, but you'd probably just brick the regal anyway

Looking forward to play SSF. For the challenge and for actually using the currency for crafting.

Will you play SSF on 2.6 (doesn't matter if HC or SF) and why?

Probably. Already playing SSF anyway.

Reason 1: Dont want to deal with the manual trade stuff. If there would be an automatic auction house I would consider it (playing with trading) at least.

Reason 2: SSF leads to a more "interesting" game. If I play with trading the progress can be quantified pretty much as character level + amount of currency. Finding stuff is about how many chaos it is worth. Furthermore there is no need to adjust the build based on drops. Playing with trading is just "implementing" a (previously chosen) build and playing as SSF is closer to "creating" one.

Only for the 1st week, then I'm switching. I cant bear the thought of "not" having to buy a unique item that I need for my build on the fly.

Wish 2.6 was soon....

No.

PoE isn't designed to be played self-found.

That is why SSF will really be hardcore.

Please give me an option to play offline -> offline accounts would not exist online. I have no need to measure epeen with other people i already know mine is bigger.

But will never happen because "no hats" :(
