Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

PLEASE, GGG

Harvest the way it is right now, is literally the only thing you need to keep your casual playerbase, which is pretty damn big, PLAYING!

and by casual i mean mostly people that have kids + full time jobs!

full time jobs = more money for you, right?

right!

Mods, I really want you all to take a good look at yourself and what you're becoming in this thread. Did he really say anything other than, "that gamer/streamer has a better pulse of the game and gamer sentiment at this point". what is so objectionable in that remark? there was nothing censorious in that remark! And you removed it

Please stop this, mods!

The change about Heart of the Grove is actually really nice and interesting with the Upgrade of encounter Harvest in map to.
-> Maybe the fight can be use for let player drop Deterministe remove/add Orbs ?

But, i'm a little bit scare by the other change.
I start playing PoE this league, and with harvest, i was able to understand how crafting work in poe. It make crafting more easy to understand for brand new player compare to what it look like to be before.

The fact that we can use harvest crafting on non-influence item look good to.

All this change will make gear loot maybe more valuable to, so it can be interresting. Unless the price of Exalted and other orb skyrocket, because you will need it for making craft.

It's nerf the cluster jewel crafting to, hope it wont make it impossible to have proper cluster jewel for some build that are base on this.


For me, it's some nice change and some other that's look strange because it impact player from a way that make you feel you loose something nice that now only high end player will be able to do.
And it's make crafting way harder for new player, and i thinks it's sad because if harverst didn't exist i will probably never try to craft personnaly. It's to risky and not rewarding, so why spend the low amount of currency i have for nothing ?

So out of touch with the playerbase it is laughable.

Did you expect anything else from people that quit playing their own game 5 years ago?

The whole point of crafting is that it IS largely deterministic. No one ever random spammed chaos orbs to create end game gear.

IMO taking the annul and augment effects from virtually all items makes the whole Harvest obsolete. Well, it's your game, not mine.

Other than the supporter pack, it's how things have been for ppl like me too.

„Crafting! I love crafting gear for my characters!“

„So you enjoy using an exalted orb on your items hoping to hit something useful.“

„What? No! Who in his or her right mind would ever use an exalted like that? They are used for buying items in trade or metacrafting. Slamming an item with it is just plain stupid- there are too many mods!“

Dear GGG,
imagine not using TFT. I don‘t do that for example. Trust issues. So I have a few crafting projects, none of them done because harvest is really rare enough. This league I play Standard because I don‘t play poe for a living and wanted to be able to play this sweet expansion. Harvest returns! Jippie! And the maven orb makes it even more interesting. I bought my First Supporter pack because of it.

And now this. Harvest is rare enough. The cool crafts are rare enough. TFT is the issue. I doubt that many people would have their insane items without it. Do something about that but don‘t kill the mechanic.

You leave me disappointed, sad and angry. Full of regret, too (supporter pack).

Please reconsider, I beg you.

Cringe.
Don't go through with this.

Remove harvest bs alltogether or make it untradeable. I want to play trade league but not with this bs spamming or discord cancer.

Hi GGG, I've been playing the game a while now and the deterministic crafting has been a nice addition to the game. It takes a really long time to farm up harvest crafts for me for my builds. I think its really enjoyable to see the crazy crafts people have from this system and I agree that they can get crazy, but they put in the time to make them crazy. They must go through the discord with the amount of time it takes to get the crafts, which is a massive mess please if anything help fix that.
Overall Harvest needs a little more love than just this change. Please don't make discord the go to for these crafts, even if it means we need a nerf like this.
BTW Thanks for the great league I had a lot of fun.
