Self-Found (League) [Thread outdated!]
" it would be easier for those who already play SF anyways. This is my point. Eliminate MF mods means it would be easier to get mods you're looking for. Increase drop rates means it's more likely you'll get what you're rolling for. While I also want specific recipes, if you want special recipes for this league only, it makes it easier to get what you're looking for. Again, if you want a SFL for the sake of competition, since it eliminates RMT, this sounds great. But you're not asking for that. |

" Currently, playing SF is harder than any league available and making it easier would only bring it in line with the rest of leagues. What was your point again? |

Lol. Its not that hard. Get real.

I would like for an SFL league to have more orbs purchasable from vendors and have their value overthought.
Let's just look at the direct purchases from vendors: The orbs regarding magic items are set to (4 of the former to 1 of the next): Orb of Transmutation is the cheapest, followed by an Augmentation Orb and finished with an Alteration Orb I would like this setup to be also used for rares (maybe for the same rates in x4 to the next orb): So an Orb of Alchemy would be the cheapest, followed by an Exalted Orb and finished with an Chaos Orb. A Regal Orb should be way more expensive than an Chaos Orb, and the Regal Orb vendor recipe changed to Eternal Orb. The thought behind this is, that a SFL league should be more orientated towards crafting, while those crafting orbs should be obtainable. With some bottlenecks in the form of upgrading a magic to a rare item and the usage of Eternal Orbs to craft your perfect piece of equipment. I don't really know anything about highlevel maps, I never set foot in even a 66 map, so I don't really know how the difficulty of obtaining an ilvl 75+ set for the vendor recipe is. This post is just something I thought about and wanted to mention. Last edited by VocahVerkas#2470 on Oct 13, 2013, 8:10:59 AM

I'll sum up this gigantic thread so that GGG can lock it and enshrine it for posterity.
"GGG, please make a league where I'm showered with uniques and exalts due to a better drop rate, because the drop rate is too low in Standard/Hardcore." /thread |

" LOL this should be a loot find game, not a loot purchase game. The appeal to this game is finding gear. In your example what difference does it make if you find more uniques or currency in SFL. There is no economy to be wary of. In fact it fairly unusual to have a game with no single player element. GIVE US THE CHOICE. That is all we are asking. D2 had offline single player(SFL), and it was great. I have no idea what the problem is to be honest. There are no downsides to a SFL. Let players decide what is fun to them, not limit them because of some notion that YOU know what is fun for ME. That can be disastrous. See D3.

"I hate the idea of a SFL, and even I think that, if that's what you got out of this thread, you are grossly underestimating the complaints of dozens of players. Here, let me try: "GGG, I am sick and tired of farming items which I can't use effectively myself. Therefore, please make a new league where trading is disabled and I'm showered with uniques and exalts due to a better drop rate, without doing anything to adjust the rate at which I farm items which I can't use myself, and thus doing nothing to solve the core problem." None of this QQ is actually about self-found; it's about self-use. What you guys really want is for the ratio of orbs relative to gear to go up. Since this is actually possible without making the game easier (just increase orb droprate while decreasing gear droprate), I would have no problem with that. Assuming it didn't create extra leagues to further fracture the playerbase, of course. The core problem with this suggestion has always been, not the complaints, but the idiotic proposal in an attempt to solve the problem. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" You can see my other post just above. It applies to your comment as well. I think it's a large mistake to assume that everyone enjoys playing the same way you do. Grinding for alts so you can afford to buy gear(or getting carried in a faceroll group) to help your character progress isn't fun for many people. If they could grind out their own gear, I, and many others would just prefer to do that. Scrotie: What is the downside to a SFL. I cannot think of one. NOT ONE.

Conversely, after reading 54 pages of this giant-ass thread, I haven't seen a single UPSIDE to a SFL, haha.
It is admirable that most players within this thread have attempted to deduce the core reason of this complaint thread, rather than simply flaming each other. There definitely is a reason for this small percentage of the playerbase (the great majority of players never bother to participate in the forums of any given game) to want a SFL. I'd rather have that reason discovered rather than an entirely different league be made. |
