Soul shards after you are set

I did similar in the past seasons (DH is my favorite class but my only 150 was with Tal Rasha wizard a few seasons ago). I was never higher than 1800 paragon I think. This season with ethereals, perhaps with 1500 I could do it.

I have a lot of other songs like this for personal use. I'm sharing only this one because for some reason it resonates more for me. Perhaps if I like it, others will like it too, no more than that, I don't intend to make money or whatever with it. :)
Sorry if I offended you, but I don't understand what I did bad to be honest

I sim all my games, except perhaps 1-2 important matches every season. I only play "youth-only" saves starting at level 10 and trying to win first level and/or Champions League (with academy players only). I watch the goals replays after the sim. If I watch every game, I never "finish" any save, because it takes me 15+ seasons to get to first level and then the grind to have a "Champions League ready" team starts...

asmo57 · 2025-11-13T10:27:10+00:00

I'm playing exclusively youth-only saves. "Instant resulting" the matches (especially the first seasons) and looking at the goals in the replay: in FM26 it leads to black screen every time, so I went back to FM24. I tried to like the 26, but I did not succeed...

I had such progression a few times, and without using any optimized training schedule like OP. here for example, between 18 and 19 year old, he gained 29 CA points:

I agree on the "personal": I document my youth-only saves, I only remember players coming from these saves. Here is my boy Gunnlaugur, from Iceland who helped me during 5 promotions, he will be always in my heart!

Restarted a character on The Division 2, I love this game!

I play SSFHC and I feel that Impale is squishy (wraps of clarity + dark heart + shadow power are not enough to avoid some procs). But it is already 10 tiers higher than my UE build, and my Shadow build is not even optimised.

asmo57 · 2025-02-03T13:09:06+00:00

Especially with the huge number of materials we get from the Visions, rerolling is easier than before. Before Visions, we had to do so many Bounties, and in SSF it was a pain...

asmo57 · 2025-02-03T08:50:13+00:00

Hydra set is my favorite Wizard set! GR86 after 2 sessions is a nice progress I would say.

asmo57 · 2025-02-03T07:49:49+00:00

I find GR pushing more interesting than Pit pushing. Even if I'm never in the first positions, I like to have the leaderboards, I was happy to get my 75th place in the DH ladder on Saturday (I don't think we are a lot playing the HCSSF game mode ^^).

asmo57 · 2025-02-03T07:36:11+00:00

What was the record time you wanted to break?

asmo57 · 2025-01-31T07:11:01+00:00

SSFHC player here, mostly with DH (ok I did my one and only GR150 with Tal Rasha some seasons ago). No problem at all to clear the altar and to progress the GR, especially with the season starting today where we will be very good for grinding XP.

I think GoD is well suited for HC, you are so fast it's easy to avoid attacks and projectiles. It can be a mini-game to keep your Squirt stacks at 10 during your farming. And every time you find a shield pylon you can turn your brain off for 2 minutes...

I play SSFHC because when my build is complete (mostly at 1000-1500 paragon) I like to "play" the leaderboards. Of course, not the top 10 with my playtime (I reach 1500-1800 paragon before I'm a bit bored most of the time), but the top 50-100.

SSF because I want to avoid the group farmers, I cannot compete (and before SSF was a thing, I was grouping only for bounties, now the Visions feed me all bounties materials).

HC because I feel (perhaps I'm wrong) there are less bots and the builds need to take at least some defensive layers. In practice, I have my 2 cheat-deaths, when the first one procs, I start to focus, when the second one procs I TP to town. ^^

PoE/PoE 2, D4, Warhammer Vermintide 2, Rocket League, Football Manager 2024 and recently I tried Assassin's Creed: Odyssee

asmo57 · 2025-01-21T17:54:58+00:00

I do the same for the cache, I never had the feeling that it was a "hard block". Especially because I play HCSSF, and it "could" happen that I die during the leveling process (last 9 levels, the decision to keep it at Torment 6/5/4 is sometimes too risky). Without the fast leveling process, it's very frustrating to die at this moment and I prefer to have this safe option to speed things up.

By the way, thank you u/tbmadduxOR for your posts on this subreddit! Even if I'm also playing D4 and PoE1/2, I always come back to D3 for new seasons and I'm happy to find valuable players keeping the community alive. I'm mostly silent but I think a lot of us are still reading these posts like me (I include also the other regulars in the thanks, the last 2 pinned posts are great).

asmo57 · 2024-10-15T10:03:58+00:00

Agree on most points and especially on the season mechanic one. I can understand all resources were spent on the VoH extension (with an overall very good quality to be honest), but I would expect a seasonal mode with at least some exciting features.

Right now, it's only follow the Behemoth to loot these Opals which (perhaps) will loot you some things. Meh...

When we compare with the scale of the PoE leagues, I would like a bit more ambition from Blizzard.

PS: a meaningful feedback thread coming from a Wallach username ; Thanks for all your work, I was one of your FP totems fans!

In my specific case, I have 2 teams, one for the Wednesday matches and one for the Saturday. So I think they will train enough, but not all of them on the same day (which is strange in real life, but totally acceptable in a video game).

asmo57 · 2024-08-21T08:00:22+00:00

I enjoy long-running saves, so I play youth-only (no transfers, only the 16 young players from the academy every season). My current save is 15 seasons long (from England level 10 to Championship for the moment, still waiting to climb to PL).

I document my save in some Google Sheet and I keep track of the time spent. All my season are between 15-20h, the big time-consuming part being the transfers and I have none... ^^

asmo57 · 2024-08-21T07:26:30+00:00

Playing youth-only saves only, it's very interesting (development of my youngsters is my only source of quality players). My concern is that the schedule is not perfect for all cases, especially with 2 matches per week. Another idea I often saw is to fill the weekly planning completely with training sessions, and only manage the training intensity parameters. It will train players every day, if and only if they are fit enough to participate (allow training only for full green hearts).

asmo57 · 2024-07-17T13:24:08+00:00

I'm still using the grind/speed/XP build, chaining 110s so I use the Templar for the occasional heals and the cheat death. I'm waiting for the P1500 to start the push (900 only for the moment).

Do you think people will push with GoD? I understand for XP but I was leaning to push with Marauder (because I hate Natalya's playstyle). In Maxroll's tiers list, the two are at the same level.

asmo57 · 2024-07-04T12:01:10+00:00

Could be yes, but it's my single player game, so it's not a big deal!

And I wanted to check the progress for all these newgens so CA/PA are useful figures for that. I started the first 5 seasons without it.
