Solo Self-Found Support in 2.6.0
I am in favor of self found and played it quite a bit in the past. Now a days I buy things but do not bother with selling items myself. From my past experience any gear dependent build that relies especially on non unique items or weapon rare unique items is just not fun. You are severely limited in your build choice. It use to be so bad that your first league character or first 2 could not progress beyond cruel, you end up rolling minion/ totems/ spell caster to get better gear and progress your other characters. Also transfer of skill gems anyone?
The crafters are also often the market manipulators, the active market people and those who were lucky in another category and can bank that luck. A lot of playstyles and progression will be RNG locked. Now things have improved and self-found certainly allows you to enter maps with more variation than it used to do. I wish this mode all the success and may there be good lessons learned from it. Last edited by Ozgwald on Jan 23, 2017, 12:29:03 AM

Love it. Count me in as one of those who enjoy the game better as SF. I even feel a bit dirty whenever I break down in a new league and trade.

Thats cool, like iron man mode in oldschool runescape. aslong as you dont base the game around the vary small minority then itll be fine.

This sounds awesome! Thanks GGG.
Will we be able to continue our SSF characters in SSF mode after the end of a challenge league? Will there be an SSF-equivalent to Standard and Hardcore parent leagues, for example, or is that getting too complicated? Edit: This question appears to be answered here. I really like that you plan to enable us to choose when to transfer our stash, enabling us to reset the stash for new characters if we wish. Will the stash transfer work the same way as it does now, or will there have to be limits imposed? I'm also all for the ability to access all skill and support gems within the SSF leagues as Chris also commented on in the reddit thread linked above (ideally, all leagues).

" Ah! Genius! I will do just that! I put items on mules anyway, but for some reason that didn't occur to me, haha. Thank you! http://www.therainforestsite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=4

Im very exited about this. This would make me motivated to play SSF again,
ive only tried it once so far in HC and it went well for a while It would probably work fine as is described in the original post If you implement it for 2.6.0 i will definitely choose SSF HC and try my best on the ladders :-) This would be something fun for old veteran players that havent tried SSF before, so thats nice too Good idea |

" Here's a wake-up call for you: most play solo. | |
I have been in SSF since day 1 of PoE until today, absolutely no partying and no trading -- Can I convert my existing characters to SSF mode? ^^
Shadow Character Build:
Essence Drain + Contagion + Curse Vulnerable on Damage Taken + Decoy Totem Armor + Energy Shield Wand + Spirit Shield | |
" It would seem that they're using the PC game as a way to gather data on the state of their game in it's purest form. Something they should have started doing YEARS ago as many of us asked in the forum. The data would go a long way in helping to create a solo campaign in the console version. Isn't it awesome that SSF is for real now? :D |
