...::: SFL Poll results and conclusions :::...

I'm playing Self found Hard core. We'll see how it goes. I'm new but my friend said you can't progress in mericless self found. I aim to prove him wrong.

Beatiful post. UP

Spoiler:

You can progress to 78 maps and do most bosses except hard ones everyone know about.
Yes, it will take time. Yes, your gear will suck.

The only things which SF player can't realistically do are
* yolo-exalting and eternal-exalting (one can't count on ex dropping and there is no recipe)
* 5L and 6L is annoying (fusings themselves are rare and conversion rate is not stellar either).
* hard bosses with hard map mods (even traders skip, so...).

Then make 1 week races, one being HC and the other being SC. GGG will see how many really like SFL and can do 4 month leagues or not depending on the amount of participants.

If noone participates, there is no need to add SFL.
If everyone participates, community will be split.

Very nice.

I dont know what any of those terms mean in your first two bullet points but post overall sounds good to me. As long as you can progress then why need for self found leagues?

You can progress, but it's dependent on luck (eg. you might not find a skill gem for a looong time). Traders progression is not dependent on luck (even maps can be bought)

Why the need for a self-found league? Because such a league will have a level playing field, while the current ladder is a den of RMT cheaters.

yolo-exalting -- applying Exalted Orb to add affix
yolo because you can't undo it if affix is bad.

eternal-exalting -- applying Eternal Orb to save state then Exalted Orb to add affix
and if affix is trash, applying Eternal back to restore state

Eternal and Exalts are very rare, expect to not find a single one.

5L -- 5 link chest, bow or 2H weapon
6L -- 6 link

Expect to not have 6L, it takes high amount of fusings to 6L anything which SF player will be short of.

5L is funny thing because sometimes you will find an upgrade to upgrade before you completed 5L-inking your current upgrade. :^)

I don't want to hint on what to do and what no to do, it will spoil all your fun.
Simply know that it is entirely doable.

P.S.: yolo-exalt this beauty for armor and craft these boots at the end of the league!

No IIQ -- increased drops of ele and chaos resistances!!!
Only 8 et-ex attempts. :^)
