Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

The world is crazy. The minority is oppressing the majority, they dictate your behavior, your clothes, your language, your thinking, even how you PLAY.
They are the GODS of the internet, the Gods of Streamers. Don't complain about us, I can cancel your thinking.

I honestly feel like this is a very important change, harvest crafting was far too powerful and I had no doubt that this was going to happen when it was added back into the game. My primary concern now is how is this going to effect the economy, people are already in a dedicated discord for harvest craft trading that in my mind ruined the economy. I purchased a 6-linked, all white socket Astral plate with explosion, additional curse, critical strike chance to attacks, critical strike chance to spells and an additional curse for 12ex. An item like this last league would've been significantly more expensive if it even existed.

Thats 200-250ex in standard. But I'd never sell it can only go up.

They just design the game for the 0.1% who play 20h/day it seems. What a joke.

Deleting my fuckign post, how lame can you be? Is this an early April's Fools Joke?

this is going to kill player base retention thus weakening the tail end of the league. harvest crafting was a huge bonus for the middle class of this game, killing it off will essentially just leave the top 1% of genius players with full control of the market as well as the only ones having completely endgame viable items. this is a huge step backwards.

I really don't know what are you GGG expecting out of taking this away from us again? Firstable it's RNG to even get the harvest. Trust me I know by having like 1-3 harvests per 20-30 maps and from those harvests you usually get 1 good craft which you can either sell or use by yourself. And yes I use as much Zana as possible and still have in my opinion really hard time to find harvest. Me and few of my friends started this league specially because of harvest and I'm not sure if we come back again if harvest is ruined.

This will only benefit gamers who has possibility to play the game for 8-12 hours a day and rest will have really hard time to make decent gear to clear content, so around 95% of players will suffer from this decision, way to kill the best game, but yea it's your game so do what you want.

"get woke, go broke."

What about u dont touch anything? buff harvest to have remove stun and block recovery and add MANA modifiers?

what about u give back eternal orb?

what about you add new items like orb of perfection? "upgrade random tier by 1"
what about that? Dont you guys have phones?

This thread adds pages in a pace that I can't read fast enough to see the end of it LOL! That should count for something, should...

Welcome to Path of Nerf, Exile, a game where you should consider yourself plainly 'excited' to just pointlessly chaos/exalt-slam stuffs.

Account bind harvest crafted items and the problem is solved. The issue isn’t with Harvest it is with trading the crafts and crafting opportunities that harvest produces.

This would severely slow down the abuse of access to rare crafting options thru use of TFT, and bring the balance to the mechanism of Harvest without gutting it completely.

There are 230+ pages of comments on this manifesto and counting for a reason. What you are doing is wildly unpopular.

RNG is fun to point, but when a player really rolls up their sleeves to put the finishing touches on a build harvest crafting keeps them working for much longer. Don’t kill the deterministic crafting.

Edit: Or get rid of the explody chest mechanic if it is too powerful and breaks the game and any other mod that is OP

You keeping giving us tools to make more and more powerful stuff and complain when we do just that.

Who cares if there are items that trivialize the content of the game? It’s a game and as long as that person is having fun doing it let them.

They are still playing aren’t they? And isn’t that the goal of the developers?
