I started 3 days ago. In standard. Im following a guide. Even after I watched your video I still dont know why would I start in league and not in standard. This game is so complex that I dont need 1 more complexity which is reseting everything. Im good in standard for now.
Your character would be placed in standard after the league ends, leagues provide a base playing ground and fresh economy. Your standard character is years behind economy wise
@@YDRFilms so i cant buy items in standard and for that i have to play leagues? new to game it would be helpful if you explain a bit like is there story mode in leagues or its something totally different from standard mode
@atulmeena8030 nah you can buy in standard too but the prices aren't the same since in leagues everyone starts fresh so no one has had time to grind every God roll for every item as for standard league is open since launch and has had years to grind the rolls. League is exactly the same story as standard but has some modifiers that help and make some stuff harder but with higher better drop chances. Etc etc there's a lot of info but at the same time it's not as hard to get into as it seems. Just have fun bro
I started in standard. I like learning at my own pace and the lore. Tried my character and messed them up. Then started an earthquake jugg and really enjoy the game. For any new players - try playing with a controller. Really makes the game easier on your hands /wrists
Im just like less then a week in standart but thunking about the league we dont loose ourbhero and all currency u got its back to standart stash so i guess standart for pracrtice :D
So from what I understand the only problem is other players having more currency and trading becomes unusable? if so that's fine by me, I'm treating this like a single player PVE game anyway I don't care for trading or having the optimal build
Interestingly my advice to new players is to not worry about anything, not to look at any guides, and to have fun making their own character. New players really don't need to worry about trading or end game bosses or bricking their character or anything. The game is so complex that it is really worth exploring it slowly at your own pace, and then if you get hooked on the game and decide to take it seriously, its time to look up guides and a good build. The experience of being a brand new player is unique and fun, I wouldn't want to rob someone of that
Going at your own pace when you first start a game is important for sure. It's why I like to go into games without looking anything up, make mistakes, then look at a guide later if I feel stuck.
No way. PoE is ridiculously complex and trying to hash it out yourself is just going to frustrate most people. The game sucks at teaching you how its plethora of systems works. Currency is confusing. Crafting is a frustrating. Understanding how Evasion, Armor and Resistances work is punishing if you get it wrong with a horde of monsters one-shotting you and you never know why. ESPECIALLY if you came from playing something like Diablo games that give you an easier learning curve. For example, you don't realize that your resistances get killed after you move up into the different parts. You run out and get murdered by monsters you'd expect to have little trouble defeating and it's maddening because you were just a badass 5 minutes ago and defeated a boss. Now the first group of scrubs runs up and eats you alive, and you're like WTF happened? Why the f**k did I die? Oh, because the game decided to ramp up the difficulty and not tell you shit and none of the NPCs in town mentioned anything that would clue you in to looking at your character stats. but hey, why don't you craft something with more resistance. Oh wait, you don't have enough of the 4,827 currencies in the game? Sucks to be you. It appears you'll be suffering through this one, hoping to find uniques or rares that maybe boost you enough to get some progress. Even though your weapon worked well and your armor did what you need, it's no longer any good and needs replaced. Use a build guide to start with so you can actually enjoy some success and get past that stupidly hard learning curve the devs put into the game thinking it was a good idea.
This sounds like advice for people who are gonna put at least a couple hours every day into it. I will probably not play POE for more than 2 or 3 hours a week. I won't get anywhere in a Season before it's over, so it's not like I'm "gaining an advantage."
Yes absolutely! You can always continue your character on standard if you prefer but jumping into a league is one of the best introductory experiences.
I started in standard, because the person that introduced me to the game only ever plays standard. By the time the next league started about a month later, I was already becoming very frustrated with standard's economy, so I switched to league and pretty much never touched standard again.
I've started in a league (Metamorph to be specific) and never finished act 10 in this first league. But it was great to get used to PoE and I was lucky that the first person I've been trading with was patient and willing to teach a newbie how trading works even though it was only a 1c trade. Delirium was my first real league where I made it to T16 maps. I have never touched standard except for play testing new builds for an hour or so.
Standard is where I go to try mechanics I'm unsure about because I have currency and gear from previous leagues. I know what character already has a tabula, so I can go buy the gems I want to test out, log on for 10 minutes, figure out what I need, and then head back to the League
I started in standard but it was one week before Nemesis league started , then I jumped over to that and had a blast , Nemesis league was awesome . Now If I had to start over, I'd choose to play a league ,especially the start of a league , seeing how a league unfolds, really helps a player understand that progression they need to make ,it's not like other games, you have to push if you wanna get somewhere , you can't just float around and beat the endgame like TLI .
I just started the game, started some league, and was told to go to standard Now I'm some hours into standard and I can say, nothing in this video made any sense to me
I started in standard. played for a while, jumped into an interesting league that had introduced upgrades i wanted to get for cheap. Once i got them i played my character back in standard again. Here and there I jumped into a league for a couple of weeks to grind out the bare minimum currency to grab one or two upgrades then went back to standard to play my main character once i obtained them (and they were super cheap). I've been playing the same build, same character since i started the game almost 3 years ago. The thought of re-grinding out a new character every league makes me want to vomit.... its simply not for me. I prefer to keep my progress and keep going forward. Not only that I'm a family man with a demanding job so, unlike streamers, I cant play games for 10 + hours a day to make a 3 month cycle remotely viable. I really enjoyed the journey to the top with my build, but its taken me so long, i never want to do it again. The only time ill truly start a new character and bring them back to 100 will be the launch of poe2, but then ill just play my main again after that's over because i've found the build that i really love. to each their own right?
I Just started in Standard because the current League will end in 6 days. So i though starting on Standard and Then create a new Character when the new League comes Out. Im still totally lost in the Game and i found sone build Guides but i dont know where to her that ascendency class i Need..
This is one of the few times of a league where starting in standard makes the most sense. There's a lot to take in with PoE but you don't need to learn everything at once.
The way you pitch it makes sense. I’m really enjoying it so far but I did decide while I’m getting my feet under me to start in standard and wait for the next season to create a seasonal character. That being said if I was starting today I would have took your advice.
I started standard and am on my third character. Your video is motivating me to try a new build in league play. A question: in standard my stash is shared among the characters I’ve played and is pretty full. A new league character starts with empty stash, correct? What happens to the accumulated items when the league ends? Is it dumped into the common standard stash? What happens if there’s not enough room? Can anyone recommend a good inventory management video? I have pack rat tendencies!
basically, your league stash is indeed sent to standard and merged with your current standard inventory, typically in special stash tabs that are remove-only, do not expire and will disappear after you empty them completely. Dont worry, nothing will be lost, even if your stash is already full.
Standard here. Almost 20 hrs in the game now and it's been easy I rely basically just sticking to what works for me and mobs die like flies. I want the game to be harder at some point and then I'll make a more fair judgment to what I think about the game.
New to the game....yet nothing was explained about how inventory stash items transfer from league to normal. My stash is full in standard, am I losing all of my stuff from the current league ?
I’ve started Soft core trade league (Harbinger) now days im playing SSF HC only mainly because i love to learn more and try all kinds of build appears in my mind.
This is unplayable for me. I have played it before years ago. But now I can't get past the character selection screen before it kicks me back to the starting screen. I tried firewall stuff, reinstalling it, it is fully up to date. But still nothing. Super disspointing.
I have a weird question: does your stash carry over to the league if you've started in standard? Also does the initial character need to remain active? Thnx in advance for a reply
No, your stash does not carry over between leagues in Path of Exile. Your initial character does not need to remain active for you to play in a league.
There is no need to make selling items and deconstructing gear so difficult. Should be done via vendors. The fact I have to go through all these hoops is ridiculous. The game was going good untill i realized I couldn't sell and deconstruct. Shame, i really wanted to play this.
DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!I PLAYED 8 YEARS AND THEY TOOK ALL MY EXALTED ORBS AWAY BECAUSE THEY FELT , ALL OF A SUDDEN , THAT DIVINES NEED TO BE THE MAIN CURRENCY!THE GAME IS NOT PAY TO WIN , IT IS PAY TO LOSE!YOU WILL LOSE YOU LIFE PLAYING THIS INTENSE GAMBLING ADDICTING GAME.BE WARNED!NO GAME EVER HAS DONE THIS TO IT'S PLAYERS TAKING ALL THEIR WEALTH AWAY FOR NO REASON , WITHOUT COMPENSATION!
Been playing since open beta and other than the last few weeks of a league, this is on the money. Last few weeks of leagues can be pretty dead trade-wise, even if there are a lot of items listed. A lot of people don't actually want to interact with trade and are too lazy to unlist their items by this point. So if you're starting up near the end of a league, I say just make a standard character that you aren't fully invested in and then play for real the next league at launch. Nothing compares to the economy of a new league, as long as you don't pick a meta build that relies on a rare unique.
I first started in beta when there were only 3 acts and Dominus final boss. I had no idea what the game was and played on hardcore. Took me days to get to act 3 and beat Dominus. Then I found out there are 3 difficulties. Came back in Legacy league. Also hardcore. Didn't even get past act2 before i decided i better go softcore. Never played standard more than an hour per league.
Hi, I just started playing yesterday and I’m planning to play with a friend, how does the looting work when playing with a friend?. Is it shared or both get the same items?
I always warn people standard is basically SSF as your chances of trading without a massive stock pile of wealth over years of playing is a struggle. I got lucky and started 2 days after a league release in abyss as I was getting burned out on d3 and the annoying paragon system that favors bots.
Agreed, I´m a standard player because of time restrains and not liking to start at 0 every 3 months. That said, even if you plan on eventually playing on stadard for whatever reason it is never a mistake to start with the new league since prices are way more humane.
I started in standard, but today i feel like i should be playing league. I still don't really understand some things, I still struggle with "knowing the content". I don't know, i still don't know what I can do in the game and when i should be doing. Like, where i start each content, what's the challenges of each one, what's the rewards and what i can (really) do with them. But anyway, awesome video, thank you
I started in Bestiary League softcore trade. Also tried hardcore but for me its to unforgiving. Since 3 leagues i only play softcore ssf because trading is to annoying for me and without that I can go my own pace without worrying about prices or anything like that.
is it too late to start playing poe? they recently announced poe2 or what like a town building quest or something and i dont wanna start poe just so i can start poe2 2 weeks later. any tips?
It is not too late to start PoE, the upcoming town building you're talking about is 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur which is a league in Path of Exile. It releases around 3 days from now, which would be an excellent time to start the game. There's no date for when PoE 2 has a beta test yet.
Heya mate I just caught your video, quick question I’ve been thinking of getting into poe and see the new crucible will be kicking off. Do you think now is a good time to join?
I just started playing this game and I'm in act 6 in Kalandra HC. I did die a couple of times on my first characters in act 4. Difficulty is fun and challenging so far
When I started poe I played league first and that is what I always picked for I think 3 leagues but for me it was so frustrating to start at 0 every 3 months and I did quit the game for a while because of that since I thought this is the only way to play the game, when I returned to try a new league I actually realize there was something else besides league aka standard. I was so happy when I saw all my progress I had was saved there and I just could keep going ^^ Now I only play standard but I also accept thet fact that stuff is so much more expensive there but tbh. I don´t really care to much to get the best items as fast as possible, after all no time pressure is why I play standard. I still say if you are new to poe play the league since things are way more affordable there and than decide. Also don´t be scarred when your atlas is cleaned of, you just have to do a the highest tier of the map you have done so far, so doing map at a tier 11 from the last league will give you all completions to tier 10 or doing a tier 16 will complet all maps until tier 15. Also, if you don´t like your old atlas tree or your build than don´t worry you get a free respec at the start of each league.
No. You need to restart in Crucible (or Trial of the Ancestors) to experience the content. At the end of the league everything you have migrates to standard. Migration would take you from Standard (SSF) to Standard (regular trade). If you started Crucible (SSF), you can migrate to Crucible (regular trade).
You make a character in league and make it so good and then they nerf it - so it no longer works as it should even in STANDARD.... so its a waste of time.
Luckily my first character was made in a trade league. Never considered how tough it would be to learn the game in Standard. I think that I dodged a bullet
I wouldnt say its tougher to learn the game (after all one less league mechanic to worry about at least), but it is tougher to get good gear due to inflation making powerful items incredibly expensive.
I'm so glad I came across this video I didn't even know I needed! I want to start PoE and I was planning on doing standard but you have convinced me to start with trade league instead. I think there's only one month left in the current league. Should I start now or wait till the new league? Perhaps trade prices have dropped significantly since there's only one month left to go? I'm not sure how that works. Thank you for the video and keep up the great work!
Go ahead and start now, there's 2 months left so plenty of time. Prices on a lot of items have dropped, and prices on others rose but overall jumping into the league will be the best experience. Then when the next league rolls around you can choose whether you want to continue your character on Standard, or play a new one in the new league.
@@Tenkiei depends on how much time one has i think. Though I am about to give up on poe. Spending entire days farming chaos recipes trying to save up for divine items is crap. Flame/flesh jewels gated behind rng and rng and rng. And people charging so much for them. I am not looking for easy mode. But most of poe is rng and that is just too frustrating. Now we need to group up with people geared for MF to get stuff to trade for other stuff
@@kailanirhys6107 You don't need to group up with MF players to get currency to trade. But a large part of the reason you're struggling is the reliance on chaos recipe. Chaos recipe will mean you are never truly broke, but also that you are always too poor to afford most upgrades, because it slows you down. Instead focus on a simple moneymaking strategy like essences (this can be done in T1 maps), you'll have a lot more money and even a multi-divine purchase will be a matter of a few hours of farming. Edit: All this applies in league, the reason that in standard prices are insane is the absurd amount of wealth people have there. If I buy an item for 3 div or 300 div in standard there is no difference to me.
@@kailanirhys6107 Time is one reason why I play standard, still it is never a mistake to start in league even if you than plan to only play standard since with league prices you actually can get something together for humane prices.
@@Tenkiei For me, the UI and lack of information on my part, was the final boss. :D I came back in Metamorph. I sometimes tinker in standard, but mainline Softcore Trade.
I started by joining a few friends who were already deeply familiar with the game. I came from Diablo 3 so the first mode I played with them was hardcore league. I played hundreds of hours of hardcore before we finally decided that there were too many cool maps to explore and too many offscreen/instant ways to die
After 1 month standard has a lot more players than league - more people to trade with. I started with standard few years ago and it was correct choice. All was new so i dont need 1 more mechanic (league) to learn.
It's hard to measure players, but based on trade listings I'd estimate between 1.5x and 2x as many people are playing kalandra atm as compared to standard.
Avoid this huge mistake!! Playing PoE instead of a Diablo game. although to be fair, Sanctum sucked so you'd probably be fine starting on standard or league. Hopefully Crucible is better.
@@Tenkiei not really. I cant just go there and try anything i want. I have to either buy the gear or try to craft it. And they are worried about balancing game around standard sometimes...
@@marcinchreptowicz6843 I guess technically it wouldn't be *anything* but I have probably 5000 ex and 5000 div on standard so it's pretty much a creative mode. So it's pretty much creative mode with unlimited resources.
i bet this would be less of a problem if the game didn't label standard as the "default game mode." makes it sound like thats what everyone plays
Yeah, that's definitely a problem though I have noticed more recently leagues are being advertised more over standard.
They could just put a player count on each one...
If I remember correctly when there is a new league there is a pop up saying ´´ hey, try the new league ´´
Anyone with half a brain realizes what's what with the Leagues thou.

Yes absolutely! You can always continue your character on standard if you prefer but jumping into a league is one of the best introductory experiences.
This game's reliance on trading to function has always put me off it. But i'm glad there's an ARPG out there veterans can enjoy.
I started in standard, because the person that introduced me to the game only ever plays standard. By the time the next league started about a month later, I was already becoming very frustrated with standard's economy, so I switched to league and pretty much never touched standard again.
I think that's a lot of peoples experience.
I have all the great gear and currency on standard... never play it
Yeah, if you play standard than you have to accept some really high prices.

Hi, I just started playing yesterday and I’m planning to play with a friend, how does the looting work when playing with a friend?. Is it shared or both get the same items?
I dont want to start in a league right now since its only 15 days or so until the next
I always warn people standard is basically SSF as your chances of trading without a massive stock pile of wealth over years of playing is a struggle.
I got lucky and started 2 days after a league release in abyss as I was getting burned out on d3 and the annoying paragon system that favors bots.
Agreed, I´m a standard player because of time restrains and not liking to start at 0 every 3 months.
That said, even if you plan on eventually playing on stadard for whatever reason it is never a mistake to start with the new league since prices are way more humane.
This is not a great example for new players who are already overwhelmed and trying to learn.
I started in standard, but today i feel like i should be playing league. I still don't really understand some things, I still struggle with "knowing the content". I don't know, i still don't know what I can do in the game and when i should be doing. Like, where i start each content, what's the challenges of each one, what's the rewards and what i can (really) do with them. But anyway, awesome video, thank you
my man really used the forbidden 8 region atlas as the thumbnail oh god the flashbacks
Gotta do blasts from the past :P
I started in Bestiary League softcore trade. Also tried hardcore but for me its to unforgiving. Since 3 leagues i only play softcore ssf because trading is to annoying for me and without that I can go my own pace without worrying about prices or anything like that.
is it too late to start playing poe? they recently announced poe2 or what like a town building quest or something and i dont wanna start poe just so i can start poe2 2 weeks later. any tips?
It is not too late to start PoE, the upcoming town building you're talking about is 3.25 Settlers of Kalguur which is a league in Path of Exile. It releases around 3 days from now, which would be an excellent time to start the game.
There's no date for when PoE 2 has a beta test yet.
What leveling build is that? With all the supports?
Bitterdream
Bitterdream with Creeping Frost and Vortex.
I feel like this is a pretty obvious mechanic. Like most of the people playing poe are coming from other RPGs so they already know this stuff.
Never once logged into standard
Heya mate I just caught your video, quick question I’ve been thinking of getting into poe and see the new crucible will be kicking off. Do you think now is a good time to join?
Definitely.
I CANT PICK UP WEAPN IN BEGINING!
I just started playing this game and I'm in act 6 in Kalandra HC. I did die a couple of times on my first characters in act 4. Difficulty is fun and challenging so far
When I started poe I played league first and that is what I always picked for I think 3 leagues but for me it was so frustrating to start at 0 every 3 months and I did quit the game for a while because of that since I thought this is the only way to play the game, when I returned to try a new league I actually realize there was something else besides league aka standard.
I was so happy when I saw all my progress I had was saved there and I just could keep going ^^
Now I only play standard but I also accept thet fact that stuff is so much more expensive there but tbh. I don´t really care to much to get the best items as fast as possible, after all no time pressure is why I play standard.
I still say if you are new to poe play the league since things are way more affordable there and than decide.
Also don´t be scarred when your atlas is cleaned of, you just have to do a the highest tier of the map you have done so far, so doing map at a tier 11 from the last league will give you all completions to tier 10 or doing a tier 16 will complet all maps until tier 15.
Also, if you don´t like your old atlas tree or your build than don´t worry you get a free respec at the start of each league.
Can i migrate my ssf account to the league so i can get the new shit too? Although i started last week i dont remember if its in standard.
No.
You need to restart in Crucible (or Trial of the Ancestors) to experience the content. At the end of the league everything you have migrates to standard.
Migration would take you from Standard (SSF) to Standard (regular trade).
If you started Crucible (SSF), you can migrate to Crucible (regular trade).
I'm so overwhelmed by this game...
The biggest problem with this game is how convoluted it is.
I know this was about as simple to explain as you can get but I'm still fuckin lost
You make a character in league and make it so good and then they nerf it - so it no longer works as it should even in STANDARD.... so its a waste of time.
Luckily my first character was made in a trade league. Never considered how tough it would be to learn the game in Standard. I think that I dodged a bullet
I wouldnt say its tougher to learn the game (after all one less league mechanic to worry about at least), but it is tougher to get good gear due to inflation making powerful items incredibly expensive.
got to lvl 3 in standard then my friend told mee to join them in league
Just play new league for start, u dont have to trade if u don want, end of story
I'm so glad I came across this video I didn't even know I needed! I want to start PoE and I was planning on doing standard but you have convinced me to start with trade league instead. I think there's only one month left in the current league. Should I start now or wait till the new league? Perhaps trade prices have dropped significantly since there's only one month left to go? I'm not sure how that works. Thank you for the video and keep up the great work!
Go ahead and start now, there's 2 months left so plenty of time. Prices on a lot of items have dropped, and prices on others rose but overall jumping into the league will be the best experience. Then when the next league rolls around you can choose whether you want to continue your character on Standard, or play a new one in the new league.
Thank you so much for the quick reply!
Only problem with standard is the insane prices for trading.
That's why I always suggest new players start in a league, as opposed to standard.
@@Tenkiei depends on how much time one has i think. Though I am about to give up on poe. Spending entire days farming chaos recipes trying to save up for divine items is crap. Flame/flesh jewels gated behind rng and rng and rng. And people charging so much for them. I am not looking for easy mode. But most of poe is rng and that is just too frustrating. Now we need to group up with people geared for MF to get stuff to trade for other stuff
@@kailanirhys6107 You don't need to group up with MF players to get currency to trade. But a large part of the reason you're struggling is the reliance on chaos recipe.
Chaos recipe will mean you are never truly broke, but also that you are always too poor to afford most upgrades, because it slows you down.
Instead focus on a simple moneymaking strategy like essences (this can be done in T1 maps), you'll have a lot more money and even a multi-divine purchase will be a matter of a few hours of farming.
Edit: All this applies in league, the reason that in standard prices are insane is the absurd amount of wealth people have there. If I buy an item for 3 div or 300 div in standard there is no difference to me.
@@kailanirhys6107
Time is one reason why I play standard, still it is never a mistake to start in league even if you than plan to only play standard since with league prices you actually can get something together for humane prices.
Leagues didn't exist when I first started. Neither did all the acts. I came back much later, to league play.
Same, when I started Piety was the final boss of PoE.
@@Tenkiei For me, the UI and lack of information on my part, was the final boss. :D I came back in Metamorph. I sometimes tinker in standard, but mainline Softcore Trade.
I started by joining a few friends who were already deeply familiar with the game. I came from Diablo 3 so the first mode I played with them was hardcore league. I played hundreds of hours of hardcore before we finally decided that there were too many cool maps to explore and too many offscreen/instant ways to die
me that has 400 hours in the game and has not touched a league even once :_)
Damn all these sweaty play modes i just want to play the game's campaign on normal and move on
So should I play in league even though there are 7 days left for it to end?
After 1 month standard has a lot more players than league - more people to trade with.
I started with standard few years ago and it was correct choice. All was new so i dont need 1 more mechanic (league) to learn.
It's hard to measure players, but based on trade listings I'd estimate between 1.5x and 2x as many people are playing kalandra atm as compared to standard.
Avoid this huge mistake!!
Playing PoE instead of a Diablo game.
although to be fair, Sanctum sucked so you'd probably be fine starting on standard or league. Hopefully Crucible is better.
eh some of us wanna keep our progress
Great video
Standard should be the creative mode from minecraft.
In a lot of ways, it is.
@@Tenkiei not really. I cant just go there and try anything i want. I have to either buy the gear or try to craft it. And they are worried about balancing game around standard sometimes...
@@marcinchreptowicz6843 I guess technically it wouldn't be *anything* but I have probably 5000 ex and 5000 div on standard so it's pretty much a creative mode.
So it's pretty much creative mode with unlimited resources.
@@Tenkiei still, ingame craft of exile would be a blessing in standard.
There should be a creative mode for sure, but standard should kept being it´s own thing.
Well done.
Thanks!
What sort of BS is this. Wealth? Ofc its best to start lvl 1 play act 1-10. beat the game move to next game.
So you just run around and hold Q? That’s what the game play looks like
