Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

This is just to stupid GGG.
First you give us harvest and makes us really enjoy crafting, then you take it away from us, and things got bad and boring, then you give it back, in a fairly good form just to take it all away again.
Dont you want us to enjoy your game ?
Are you trying to make us leave ?
If so just go out and say so.
This is just to damn stupid worst move ever.
But the Wasabi encounter being a drop now is a good thing.

As a end game player that plays hours per day, i still havnt seen add influence mod, add speed and more of the very rare ones. But then again i play the game and dont rush for the harvest map after map.
You hurt a big core part of the player base!

You should just cut the number of crafting outcomes, make the reforge more common the "add xx" a bit more rare, and the remove x mod and x mod even more rare.
Again, this is just to damn stupid.

I've just quit the game until a good deterministic crafting is implemented. You're nerfing harvest, but now that I think about it, harvest wasn't even good enough. We don't want RNG gated crafting, we want predictive progression

DON'T TOUCH ON HARVEST OR I WILL UNISTALL THE GAME AFTER 3.14 REALEASE

Vote with your wallets people, don't spend a single $ after Havest is over. You can't reward bullshit changes.

monkahmmm

Unfortunately these changes seem like a poorly though out change because of the following:

The second and 3rd changes remove something from the game and make harvest actively worse respectively and feels like a slap across the face. Please don't ruin something you've implemented so well this league.

For more information on why this is bad you can watch one of the last videos video from Path of Matth titled "GGG is about to NUKE Harvest... Crafting ONLY for the 1% AGAIN?" and see why true mirror tier crafting for any one but the elite is not easy even with harvest.

Been playing since 2017 and was a casual until harvest league. I grinded the entire league thanks to covid and I actually learned the crafting system. I got to make items I could never afford before by playing the game; I hardly traded with people except for certain bases and awakener orbs. I still struggled with the endgame because it was the first time I actually had the power to experience it. I truly enjoyed more of the game and considered playing more standard with harvest going core. You guys (GGG) are seriously out of touch with the players that aren't the top 1%. Do something about the discord crafting, don't punish more casual players. I'm maybe top 10% now because harvest taught me how to craft but I definitely can't get to maps within 3-4 hrs nor do I enjoy any build with HH because it doesn't feel like a real build to me (I already have one, btw).

The whole maven orb thing WAS fine before the manifesto because you could still grind the item you want if you put the time in (as a player without 100's of exalts). If you can't target craft after you successfully awakener orb 2 maven influenced mods together, what's the point? No normal player has the luxury of using an exalt randomly on items, I'd rather use it on bench crafts because they're deterministic!

I really have to reiterate how incredibly tone deaf you guys are by allowing the streamers to discord craft perfect items and using that to punish the rest of us that aren't playing at that level because we simply don't have as much time.

Since i mainly play standard SSF i will quit once 3.14 hits. Harvest made me come back to the game and not some league crap like click X and monster spawn. Such wow. Every second league the same since forever. I think it's pretty stupid to balance a game around trading when trading itself is crap since game release. And using chaos orbs or exalts on gear in SSF? What a fun!

Well done GGG you have destroyed your game.
Most of the ones who actually get to the endgame and get into crafting are those Players who buy your supporter Packs and bunch of MTX.
All the other 95% doesnt even get to endgame and therefore doesnt buy much. (Those are actually the ones whoe dont even care what u do to harvest)


Im really looking forward how many Players you will loose with this huge Nerf.

Those who already made Hundreds of Mirror abusing this will get even more money for their existing items, but those like me, who has like 8 Items to finish for all my builds will never get them done.

So like always the best items are only for the Mirror Hoarders and Streamers.

This is such a huge step backwords.

Better would have been to increase the rates for good crafts but make them Account bound. I dont care about Profit crafters, im just talking about my own items i want to craft for myself.

Terrible decision, wont come back next league.

Jesus Christ this manifesto is bad, as a first day player of this game i cannot disagree more with pretty much the entirety of this post.

First off the situation you GGG created about both the drop and crafting balance in the game completely shifted with years of development. What was a concept at the beginning of the game, and mind you, actually never worked, because of the heavy sided rng you put in the mods of items for the lower end of the rolls. Well the currency = crafting possibilities never actually worked, it was and stayed a item flipper dream and a leveling nightmare for 99.99999% of the players.

The only time you actually become aware and willing to change this aspect was with harvest and this took patches after patches on crafting that were all pretty bad because they never actually tried to resolve the issue pointed up.

So now we finally have a deterministic mean because lets be honest, rare item mods are in such quantity, their rolls is so heavy on the lower end, and this was never even touched or changed. Making rares so useless that people just don't pick them up since years now, except for the few first day after reset, because well you need to gear up when you start from nothing.

Fix your mods on items, the rolls on them, and then you'll fix both drops and crafting, fail to do that and you'll continue to ping pong between shitty patches nobody likes.

This manifesto is yikes, a big fucking pile of horse crap. Stop being so in love with your lottery rng and maybe actually do something worth people time (yours and ours) that is neither a lottery nor a shitty mmo quest item snooze fest. Fix your item mods and the weighting on them.
