Self-Found (League) [Thread outdated!]

Please elaborate on the novelty and how it is more than a difficulty tweak.

If I play self-found now and I don't trade, that's my baseline.

Go ahead.


There's hundreds of posts on the subject - knock yourself out. If you don't 'get it' yet, that ain't my problem...

And if you think this is a dodge post, try reading your own post:

don't trade


That's a pretty fucking big 'novelty' for a game which describes itself as a trading game on its home page...

Are you really that [mod removed] or do you just like preventing choice?

well for starter theres a 90-page thread in the suggestions forum where no one ever complains about being unable to top the ladder as self found (well as far as i can remember), so im not sure where you get that competition is the problem ? If anything people playing self found are not interested in competition cause self found is WAY slower especially once you get to act 3 merci and maps.


They don't talk about being at the top of the ladder, but they very specifically mention the play experience of those players, and their gear, and the parts of the game, and their effectiveness in those parts of the game.

I do appreciate you actually saying something in this post.


there are a lot of specific issues which have been raised which have nothing to do with top players and theyr uniques

the main recurring issue is the inability to sustain crafting (and consequently mapping), this is also the main reason people ask for increased drop rates (and not to get theyr free shavronnes)

lack of some widely used gems as quest rewards for many classes is really annoying (stuff like enfeeble, temp chains, reduced mana etc)

i dont think four-links are a problem at all, since you can have those on any of 4 equipment slots (5 if you use a 2 hander). All you need is a 4-link on your boots and/or gloves so you are free to upgrade all your other pieces and you wont lose too much.

5 links, on the other hand, are incredibly rare as self found since they can only happen on your chest (or 2h) and its really hard to save enough fusings to try and craft one.

Well, I guess... I don't know what game you're playing but it's definitely not the game that I've been playing.

You already have the choice not to trade.

I did try to knock myself out on that 90 page thread earlier today, it was pointless. Noone suggested anything that doesn't detract from the existing leagues. Roughly 50 pages of that thread deals with increased drop rates, what the fuck.

What exactly is your argument? Google it?

TQ much like Torchlight is an ok that can provide 20 or so hours of fun at most. That's precisely because the game is designed to bombard you with rewards and within about two playthroughs you've done everything there is to do in the game. Sure then you can move on to mods but if you notice, the most successful Torchlight mods are the ones that make it more difficult and less rewarding.


im well in the hundred for both tl2 and TQ. Infact im pretty sure you cant even beat TQ in 20 hours so not sure where you get those numbers


This genre was born and saw success as single player loot-fests. Thats why no matter how you slice your trading system a lot of people just dont want to trade

That would be you're opinion, to put it mildly.
Titan Quest is a widely regarded and respected ARPG.

I've leave it at that as it barely deserves a retort.

Looting is funner when there is no economy to dictate said loot. Ie: self found or offline.

Dude, if you refuse to understand what people are saying what's the point explaining.

This thread contains the explanation 10 times over.

And you want me to say it again?

Ok here you go:

Drop rates are based on the economy - in a self found league the drop rates would not be based on an economy.

Ok, have you read it this time?

So you want to play Path of Exile just as long as it's not actually playing Path of Exile . . .
That's what I'm gathering from your comments. You dislike a lot of the features that are core to the Path of Exile experience. Just because you have a niche non-standard playstyle doesn't mean everyone has to cater to you. Maybe go back to playing D2 with your imaginary /players friends if that's really what you want.
