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.

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).

This may be a bit of a niche request, but I do giveaways all the time, and I usually play SSF. Could we make it so that SSF players are able to trade items to non-SSF players of that general league, but the SSF player would not be able to receive items from the trade window?

You should be able to just make a mule character in your SSF league, place the item on this mule character, migrate it to the regular league and trade it to the giveaway winner there.

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!

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

Solo self found is a step in the right direction. Group found would be in the spirit of the game seeing as co-op is a pillar of the gameplay.

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? ^^
