Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

If u do this I'm done with game... just started crafting and now u gonna make everything 10000000 times harder for ordinary players, if we don't make 30ex per day crafting won't be possible...so sad....

Harvest is one of the few reasons it makes things interesting again.
Such a brutal nerf....

If it happens in this way I am out.

The casual player does not need a mirror item to play the game, they were just fine before harvest - they will be just fine now.

Perfect gear should be near impossible to obtain.
Harvest makes causal players have 1-3 "mirror" items, can't even call them mirror item anymore.

Oh yeah because everyone was able to craft 'mirror tier items' with Harvest ... how out of touch are some of you? really?

Totally agree with what PathOfMathh says in the above video, nothing more to say.

Rip. They should have modified and expanded on harvest crafting.

I mean in what world do these people live? no casuals will ever have mirror items, harvest or not.

Im casual, this time I played league intensively thx to harvest and for first time I am minmaxing build.

I am not crafting myself, its pain to learn lightyears of crafting knowledge when I can use the time to grind and have fun (yes, other ppl find fun where I don't, totally normal).

I try to buy min maxed items from cash I get from selling harvest crafts on TFT - worked so good, finally some cash inflow this league. Still I needed to farm freaking DAYS to get money for some near perfect crafted gear. Also crafters themselves had to spend shitload of time and tens of exalts to get proper items - and that is with help of harvest (will be pain without it).

About TFT as root cause of hate - it is just another 3rd party solution to fill the gap of non-existent harvest craft bottling-up. If you cant sell in game, you will sell outside of the game. Water will find its way through cracks, you cant stop it, but you can take the incentive behind ppl running to TFT - making crafts sealable. Naming the problem in article (mentioning explicitly discord) and then indirectly amplifing it by making seeds rarer seems like clown shoes really, and not a fix:)...So rich will get richer and plebs back to jealousy, gated behind non-affordable RNG.

Now I was thinking with all this black-and-white, simple hate and staring-you-in the-eye-solutions proposed by most players, followed by threat of not playing next league..Yet GGG does what it does and how it does.

Its called data driven decisions. They have numbers and they crunched them. But most ppl here think they know the best. Its easy, simple, black n white, right? Its not.

I hope your changes play out well Chris, this league I had lot of fun with update. Craft-your-own-league skill trees was really bullseye.

"We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not."

Crafting as GGG intended appears to look like this? Yeah, no, I won't play RNG-only. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5MOiIVu9pY
