Why were there used to be two leagues at the same time?

- not that bad but my dated 980 GTX feels it. Then the texture issues since I came back in Heist flashback are just annoying AF. I was thinking of buying a new video card but good luck with miners grabbing them all for twice retail price.:(


I'm running a GTX 1660 Ti which isn't exactly top shelf either, but it seems to do fine. I'm not running 4K or anything crazy either.

This game seems to be fine for me at 1080P/60FPS, a comment which I think just caused quite a few readers to throw up in their mouth a little bit.
Thanks for all the fish!

PERM HC is deader than dead. If you love the trading aspect of the game, PERM HC stopped being interesting. Despite having chosen trade league, you are basically SSF anyway.

Ulti HC is pretty good. People respond to trade requests. But you will not get wealthy in league. You make some chaos here and there, maybe get a lucky exalt drop and that is pretty much it what you take back to parent league. Entirely different from vanilla temp league where you can get much, much richer because of the larger playerbase.


To come back to OP's post, not only featured vanilla and HC different mechanics but they also featured different league exclusive uniques that could not be gotten in parent leagues. After some time, GGG abandoned the idea and now all uniques can drop anywhere in any league.

I think it's just the HC mentality if you're going to go HC might as well find your own stuffs too. Game is less stable now than with desync yet SSFHC is huge with huge streamers doing it. ziz, raiz, steelmage, alky, etc. HC not so much.


Completely agree tbh, I play trade to fill out items i'd never get in SSF but I probably do <100 trades in the entire league, I only bought 4 items in ritual I think due to harvest.

The mentality really does suggest just go SSF but I couldn't have handled in this league there would have been about 5 permissible builds to go for anyone on a time budget.
