Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

It's funny how your philosophy, your way of thinking, in most cases, is the opposite as mine. I enjoy playing the game with OP characters, and when I spend 100 ex on a character I expect it to destroy the endgame. But for you it's different, you want people to "suffer" in your game. GGG, you're making a game, it's not real life, let people have fun, will you?

Plus Harvest might be deterministic now, but to make a perfect piece of gear, you still need to invest a lot. You might need 10 rem / add before hitting T1, and spent 10 to 20 ex just for 1 mod. Anyway, we'll see how it is in 3.14, but the way you talk always makes people think you nerfed things way too hard and turned our mind into a negative way of thinking and you shoud probably change that. Hire a psy of something for better communication hey.

This is the first time I actually felt compelled to post on the forums.

GGG, these proposed changes are simply terrible. They are out of touch with the reality of how it is to actually play the game.

I have a 9 hour job, excluding weekends, when a league starts I only have about 4-6 hours per day to actually play.

I do not have the time to constantly farm the currency to craft items, the old fashioned way.

I also do not have the time to farm enough exalts to buy the best crafted items on the market.

Harvest was perfect for this. Its deterministic crafting actually gave me achievable goals to strive for to create good items.

But, even with harvest it still takes a lot of time and effort.

Your statement that its too easy to get perfect items is delusional. Even with harvest it still takes an incredible amount of time to actually find the correct harvests to make a good item as even the harvests can roll bad ones, which require further remove/adds.

Getting rid of remove + remove/add will just make it nearly impossible for those of us with limited time, due to jobs, to even consider having good items.

I am also extremely disappointed because this goes against your philosophy you talked about back when adding harvest, that you want more deterministic crafting.

The game is in the best state right now especially because of harvest. I don't want to go back to the old way of playing or crafting because the old way is just gambling.

I hate gambling, there is no skill or skill expression involved in slamming hundreds to thousands of different types of currency into an item, hoping it'll get good enough rolls to then slam more.

With the nuking of remove and remove/add mods I simply have nothing to strive for, good items are just perpetually out of reach and, honestly I'd rather just quit for good then go back to gambling, I hate gambling.

- after a harvest craft the item is account bound
- let us store 100 crafts

Problem solved. Thank me later.
