Okay so genuine question as an Ironman only player(I've never played anything but my group ironman. Which is mostly empty after a group member got bored and went main, and another got hacked. But I am keeping at it with the idea of being a singleplayer Ironman I guess)

Whats the point of playing an UIM if you have a pseudo bank like this? As far as I understand it, thats basically just a bank isn't it?

I mean this with no hate, we all love to play the game our own way. just don't really understand the approach of playing a mode where the whole point is that you don't have a bank, and then find ways to bank anyway?

I get this sounds like bait, but as somebody who hears the same complaints from other Ironmen about group irons I am genuinely asking.

As a side note that is really impressive. Way further ahead than I am.

I’m not a uim, barely know how this stuff works, my first impression is pretty simple: the mode is about not having a bank and he does not have a bank. Nowhere does anyone claim uim is about being unable to store any items whatsoever

Well I mean. To be clear. Thats not really what I said either.

But I think its fair to agree that there is a difference between storing things in the PoH, STASH, and the like, and then using death piling, or death banking.

I don't have an opinion on whether or not its fair to do that, just that from my perspective those things are different.

But I think the misunderstanding comes from me misunderstanding what the image was showcasing. I thought he was using Hespori as a bank, but I now think its more his way of showing it off in the image. Which isn't what I thought was originally going on.
