Permanent Solo League?
|
Could we have a solo league please? That is a permanent league with:
-- No partying and no trading (like the solo races). -- More generous drop rates on Orbs to allow realistic crafting without trading. -- A solo appropriate approach to map drops. Basically I like to play PoE solo but suspect that this would be a lot more fun if many of the mechanics that exist to make the multiplayer game and economy work were removed or tweaked slightly. Hopefully this would remove the grind for ages here to get on spec drops aspect and allow solo players to try more diverse builds (e.g. gear dependent builds). It might also allow some semblence of competitive play between solo players. I have no idea if this is technically possible or how much work would be involved. Or indeed how much interest there would be in such a league (Maybe it's just me who plays like this?) Thanks. |

I suggested this idea aswell. I really like the idea. Its basically like Diablo 2 singleplayer.
I would also love cutthroat version of this. +1 One thing to note is that you need to find a facebreaker to make a facebreaker build... you cant just make one right away.. you need to use gear that you can just find somewhat easily. |

that would be nice, I would definitely play in that league. Default league is way over flooded with items making just about everything but real godly stuff worthless.

A forever alone league would be interesting.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" That's kind of irrelevant if you're playing solo & not trading. Quite like the idea, but not sure if it would happen since all leagues eventually feed into Default when they are over and GGG have stated that because of that leagues with easier rules or higher drop rates than normal would be a no no Last edited by Randall#0850 on Apr 3, 2013, 12:11:05 PM

I would love a permanent solo league. In fact I haven't played in over a month and won't come back until they add new long-term leagues, and a solo league is definitely at the top of my wish list. Self-found play has always been a valid niche of ARPG gameplay, and PoE has an excellent opportunity to make that an official and supported venue.
Competition is a lot more interesting when you know for sure that everyone is on a level playing field, and a solo league would eliminate issues such as RMT spam and minimize the damage of economic exploits like the chaos orb scandal. Self-found play is a popular thing and was popular in D2/D3 as well, to the extent where incgamers have a single-player forum for D3. A solo league is precisely what PoE needs. Imagine a league where you know for sure that nobody is buying shit off RMT sites, where you'll never be bothered by spammers, where you know that everyone got where they are by their own skill and dedication. There won't be people effortlessly multiboxing their way to staggering wealth. The ladder leaders aren't just the people with a popular stream and fans who give them tons of stuff for free. The competition will be much more meaningful and legitimate. There's a certain purity to solo play that appeals to some players, certainly enough to warrant a league of its own. It shouldn't be literally permanent but rather function like D2's ladder resets, maybe resetting every two or three months to keep everything fresh. I think the only reason self-found play has never gained mainstream popularity is because no game has enforced it until now, so there was never a community around it because it was up to yourself and you had no way of knowing if other players were the same. A dedicated solo league could become very popular. Last edited by Jakabov#1183 on Apr 3, 2013, 1:34:19 PM
