Is the new Solo Self Found option setup to fail?
" I doubt it. Most of the people who'll play it are the ones that have always played that way to begin with. |

" Ok, yeah, it wont be absolutely fair, but it will be more fair. RNG is entirely in the confines of the base ARPG mechanics and you should expect that two runs wont produce the same results. In SSF environment you have to find a great item that is usable by your char. In trading environment you just have to find a great item, which you then sell and buy a great item usable by your char. In SSF it will still be a lot harder to "cashout" on luck, unless you reroll. When night falls She cloaks the world In impenetrable darkness Last edited by morbo#1824 on Jan 25, 2017, 2:30:11 AM

I wish for it would be called ironman mode
Also I bet if this mode will be popular there will be changes to it. "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." Last edited by kamil1210#5432 on Jan 25, 2017, 3:17:21 AM

" Iron man mode is true character death with carried gear destruction upon death. I'll cruise through ssf whenever it starts. I usually trade once around lvl 70 just for a solid weapon upgrade. Mostly because i'm too jewish to spend orbs to roll a proper upgrade. If anything the ssf switch will force me to relearn the vendor recipes i have forgotten. There comes a time thief when jewels cease to sparkle, gold loses it's luster, throne room becomes a prison, and all that's left is a father's love for his child. - King Osric

" It's even easier than that. You can buy white lv60+ amulets from vendors :o |

" 1. This is a good idea and multiple people have suggested it. Hope they do it 2. I am SSF mostly and definately never traded for regrets. It takes, I duno, 10-20 hours to get a new char back to maps, so if Ineed to switch builds dramatically, I just start again. I made a suggestion to improving drop rates for uniques, which I think can be implemented without affecting the economy, hope they look at it :p 3. Isn't there a ladder? I thought they made one. They clearly wanted to address the 'bragging rights' issue, so if a 'ladder' is what is needed, I don't see why they won't look into it. |

yes, since shared challenges defeat the entire point. give ssf-earned mtx an * asterisk behind the name, and it's different (=bragging right) from regular-earned mtx but does not punish regular league players at all. it's that easy ggg
for me, nothing whatsoever is gonna change. but that's the same as with all of their "innovations". same game since open beta, same damn pointless grind since I have no hope for significant game design improvements in this game I am officially done with Path of Exile. done for good Last edited by LMTR14#6725 on Jan 25, 2017, 5:13:59 AM

I cant wait for this league and I'm a trader as in start flipping currency soon as I have HO. playing market margins will always be better than actually working (farming) for a living. Just compare billionaire hedge fund managers to brick layers. Ima lay bricks this time tho.
Pizza blast totems need no gear and maraduer has lots of resists nearby if you're short so I'll play that. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep#3474 on Jan 25, 2017, 5:30:25 AM

One thing for true selffound play is almost but not completely integrated:
To be able to farm for key uniques via the cards. It's just the "I need facebreakers" for my build, just a unique you can trade for 1 chaos. It's not about the big power uniques, or a 5 or evel 6 link - it's the cheap unique that will never drop if you need it. So you don't need a higher drop rate - you just can farm a certain common unique. |

Save "I need X for my build" builds for after you find X on another character.
