Permanent Solo League?

GGG need to fix solo before creating a solo league.

Thank you, that is a very good point. I wonder what percentage of people really consider leveling much further than 80? Would they really grind out to 100 when it takes months for the average Joe to get a level when you start hitting 90's?

Can't speak for other people but personally I've got 3 characters past 80 now and stopped on them, I could get them to 86-87 solo but knowing that I won't be able to get much further really kills any motivation to bother. I'd much rather focus on getting one of them to 100 if it were possible in any reasonable amount of time & I'm sure other people wouldn't mind that option either.

Wouldn't the increase in orbs have to be significant to make up for the fact that you can't trade good gear for them?

I don't think so - a lot of people barely bother trading as it is. I certainly wouldn't want orbs raining down from the skies. A good solution would be to keep drops the same but implement a /players command similar to D2 so when you got decent gear you could crank up the hp of the monsters for increased drop rates.

Wouldnt XP for soloing a map have to be increased to ever think about leveling past 90? Seems like an ugly balancing act.

Xp soloing is ok, you just get it slower because you can't faceroll maps as quickly as a group of 6.

but in a SOLO instance simply stopping everything until the player hits a button isn't a hard programming task.

one could argue that using a portal scroll isn't a particularly taxing task for a player either

+1, I like the idea and will join when it is there.

The only thing that would really need to change is an increase in level 66 map drop rates.

love the idea.

A portal scroll is a limited item and quite a few solo players need to pause frequently to attend to real life. It also take a bit more time since you can't hot key a scroll to your quick keys but have to find a safe spot, open inventory, and go through, all of which may not be good if you need to rush over to help your wife, or quickly do something with/for your child.

It also ultimately leaves you taking up space in a multiplayer town that is updating all the time rather than simply having your data saved until you unpause things, thus your taking up more active bandwidth.

I would be another solo league player.

+1 OP

I'm down.
People want higher orb drop rate so that we can actually utilize the crafting mechanic in this game to its fullest potential. Speaking for myself the only fun I have is either playing the chaos game, or alching. I'm a gambling man at heart and love when I chaos or alch an awesome gear. But it gets old.
I'd love to be able to actually craft from whites , using exalts , alot of them. But it's sad because I jardly even get 1 exalt and uausally have to sale that for chaos or alch so puts me right back at square 1.
I love the crafting mechanic , but to poor to use since I am mostly self found and solo.

+1024, would play.
