Definitely good idea, but IMAO requires some kind of similar technic presented in Perandus league, mean you have a chance to get some needed staff (uniques,orbs etc ) purchased from a vendor or equal, which is much more harder than just getting it from trade chat. Otherwise, the grind will become a real nightmare and ruins all the fun, especially in HC.

When entering SSF, a player must come up with a build plan that relies only upon common items and the skill tree.

For those following build guides requiring specific uniques, etc. the correct place to play is the trading leagues.

Not really, the SSF is ok, at least you have a chance to get this unique, orb or smth (like the Shavronne, for example) more easy (not guaranteed though) than just grind it which is mostly impossible. If no similar to Perandus technique will be presented I really don't know how it will be possible to reach some high objectives.

:D Good!

Finally something I feel well about, gj

Dat damage control.

Oh i really like this, please consider giving all gems to the characters then!

ssfHC = new Master-race HC player^_^

the hardest and most challenging content...

I wonder if HC players will adapt the new league as "the competitive" league over normal HC.



edit: its not possible to RMT in ssf leagues... opop

What they would have to do is put the poe trade included in some npc of the game. Most of the games have a npc of trade. That would be more favorable in the gameplay

Geeze I couldn't think of a mode any more boring than this.....

How pointless, this is NOT at all what I wanted SSF to be, I wanted a league BALANCED around not trading and partying

this is implemented solely for bragging rights, which is terrible

"

Path of Exile is still designed and intended to be multiplayer with partying and trading.

SSF was supposed to be the opposite of that

God it really stings when you see a SSF announcement, something you've been wishing for years and then it turns out to be this

I've always played "SSF" in this kind of game, though it's never had anything to do with challenge or bragging rights. I just want to play the game by playing the game, basically; I find a number of aspects of trading and what it does to games kind of ugly, especially with the intentionally-archaic "it worked for D2" setup POE has.

So this feature doesn't really benefit me in any way, of course, and I have to say, when a post entitled "Solo Self-found support" has to contain statements almost to the opposite effect like "Path of Exile is still designed and intended to be multiplayer with partying and trading", a small part of me is still disappointed that devs feel they need to pander to the base like that. But hey, I'm still here because the game's still excellent either way, and GGG are just doing what works for them, I know that. I expect I'll use this option despite not really gaining anything from it materially, just to add one to their tracking of how many players play each way.

Looking forward to 3.0, GGG. Hope it's coming along well.
