Console Feedback and Suggestions - Downsides for harvest being removed - Forum

First off, the obvious drawback is crafting withdraw. There is going to be a player drop off after this league because of that. The more subtle problem is player interaction. Harvest greatly incentives players to interact with other players via trading crafts. Creating a stronger more tight nit community. I fear the next league will really take a big hit to the player population. My suggestion This is probably not possible untill poe 2, but I'll lay it out there. I'd suggest incorporating these crafts into a guild system. There would be a guild "Hideout" with a crafting bench for each type of harvest craft. To unlock the bench, the guild as a whole would have to kill elder say 1000 times. Once the bench for a specific craft type was unlocked, each time you kill elder from now on, it would reward you with 1 use of that designated bench. Examples Kill uber elder 1,000 times - Unlock crit bench Kill cirus A8 1,000 times - Unlock influence bench Kill delve boss 500 times - Unlock speed bench Kill baran 4,000 times - Unlock Physical bench Kill shaper 1,000 times - Unlock defence bench Kill elder 1,000 times - Unlock Life bench Kill 10,000 red beast - Unlock Link bench Etc Last edited by xDARKKNIGHTx09 on Aug 2, 2020, 10:38:20 AM Last bumped on Aug 6, 2020, 11:14:27 PM	Posted by xDARKKNIGHTx09 on Aug 2, 2020, 10:35:45 AM Quote this Post

But surely they can't on leagues.. Unless I'm missing something who the f*** is going to kill 1000 Uber Elder and 1000 shaper and 1000 Sirus in a league time? Lol Harvest won't go core in this state, you can bet whatever you want on that. It's the most broken mechanic ever released in this game. If you think that they removed eternal orbs because they were too powerful (and they go for a couple of mirrors more or less at the moment on pc).. I mean eternal orbs are a joke compared to harvest crafting. They will probably make some kind of deterministic crafting into core some day. But nothing remotely comparable to the brokness of Harvest. Last edited by Asra101010 on Aug 3, 2020, 7:07:25 PM	Posted by Asra101010 on Aug 3, 2020, 7:06:56 PM Quote this Post
Not one person, the entire guild combined. 100 people in guild, 10 kills per player.	Posted by xDARKKNIGHTx09 on Aug 6, 2020, 11:14:27 PM Quote this Post
