solo players get nothing

What they absolutely should do, is make loot drop individually for each person like pretty much any other game out there.

Then everyone everywhere can have the same drop % solo or full group, because the only reason they have loot multi is because drops are shared.

No more shared loot!

okay, so just do what he does then if that's what you think is more fun/ rewarding to you? It's clearly possible.

more fun personally to me is playing solo

more rewarding as in loot drops is playing in groups

so where do i go from here?

the fun part can be subjective, some people prefer party, while some dont

but being rewarding is objective, without doubt, party play gives more/better drops/more rewards/benefits etc

i only like playing "solo" in trade league because you can save up and trade for the awesome gear for a single character without having to make mutable characters just 100% the season... even if perm allocation is on most people just stop attacking and stand over the loot like dumb $#%^&@'s or go straight for boxes with dd and kill everyone just so they can pick loot before you get there and end up wasting expensive map rolls so parties and up costing more then I make /// i do love this game and enjoy the grind but at this point in the game its way beyond grinding 6 or 7 years I've been playing on and off and each season it get worse

Unlike D3 Poe runs pretty bad with a full party.
The party synergy is close to non existent unless you play in a full coordinated premade party.

I'm fine with less loot just to keep the game at 144fps all the time lol.
Don't forget loot is shared within the party so the "high" value drops down quite fast, also juiced maps cost a lot and they don't appear just out of nowhere.
Besides that even solo play yields plenty of resources once you start to juice the maps to their extreme. But even alc and go gives more than a solo player can use.


Solo play had a lot more loot with Kalandra but people started to bitch about it so evil loot gobs, so you can pretty much thank all the jealous fomo zoomer for less "juicy" loot drops in general this league.

yeah GGG just caters to the 1% and leaves the rest of us scratching around in the trash ... Sanctum was alright profit... until the update now it just drops trash ...

i would argue that the only way to "balance" things out is to remove all party item qty/rarity bonuses, AND item rarity/quantity bonuses from party members dont stack and is instead averaged, and perhaps with a cap.

Most of PoE build disparity problems can be solved with a cap, and party IIQ/IIR problem too, I agree. Yet GGG is really stubborn with that, like "no caps" is part of their vision or something, even though this design regulary results in absurd OP builds, which can be further stacked in party too.

And when GGG occasionally nerf those, they do it by wiping whole mechanic, which also nerfs a lot of "normal" builds along, instead of capping whatever stat stacking that was exploited.

you say its worthless yet I find my self rolling in currency as a solo player, able to gamba harvest when ever and beat the hardest content, I don't understand there are multiple ways to make sooo much currency especially this league alone that does not require a full party. plus the game full intent is for Solo play other wise we would have party requirements for bossing or league content to even access it. the point you are missing is those players are trying to run content to the extreme and even then they split the profits they made evenly witch by the way equals out to what a SINLE PLAYER can make in that same time span. stop the whining do some reaserch on how and what to farm and just DO IT. if i can but a mage blood less than half a league in as a SOLO PLAYER. Then you can to.

Party MF along with general party currency boost is one of the glaring holes in game design here, and also one that won't ever be fixed because GGG's favorite players are the ones who exploit it the most, and are willing to keep sinking real money for this "privilege".

Not true at all.

Make some friends and start a guild, Solo is a personal choice and everyone should not be punished for that choice that someone else made.

Literally just talk to any person longer than it takes to say "ty" and you're almost garunteed to make some friends.

I played by myself for so long and sure once you get a taste of a good party its hard to go back but the biggest one... The one that makes me the most currency is just having good people around to make the grind not so harsh :P

Teach me senpai, how to keep this wretched game at least above 100fps? xD

You can easily get a mageblood if you set up your atlas, sextants, and passives properly. Most people are getting an Apothecary every 50-150 maps.. Thats not even a hard grind. You can run a map like that in about 4 minutes tops and thats with not so great gear. Once a couple drop you should be moving along faster. Personally i dont farm them any more and run the winged strategy because I have my Mageblood. Took me a a couple weeks with the same strategy. I tried others but "Spicy Sushi's" with wandering path is the best. You enter the map with 200 quant + on 8 mod corrupted maps. Thats without picking any altars...
