Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting
|
We're already having to pay up to 30ex for harvest crafts that other people find, because they are so rare now that almost nobody can find them. There's no guarantee you'll get what you want with that either, you might have to pay that price over and over again - to the point that you might as well just mirror something from someone else, taking all the fun out of crafting one yourself.
Is it elite enough yet? ...Apparently not. Last edited by Obright#1785 on Mar 11, 2021, 11:19:48 AM

Welcome to path of gambling,gamblers by GGG

" I spent thousands of hours in Diablo 2 : That game had no craft, good loot system with few mods on items, and target farmable items whom will take between 100 and 1000 runs to have. GGG decided to make a Diablo clone that : - Has a gambling system as a crafting system - Has more mods on items with no limit on how they are rolled (T8 rolls on ilvl 86 hallo ?) - has no target farm possible without a triple layer of RNG. Speaking of time : i spent 8 years in the game and never have crafting a signle good item with at least 2 tier 1 mods before harvest came to be a thing. Harvest, on its own is closer to what Diablo 2 was than PoE will never be without it... Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts.
Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic... |

" Yeah, that's why only 1 % reaches Maps and only a barely Minimum of that reaches red Maps. It's soo easy. Don't judge from yourself to others. There are multiple people who are not even see endgame once in years. And guess what: you are not forced to get the crafts. You still can work yourself the way up to all content. You don't need to gut 99,9 percent of the playerbase from a fun experience somewhat near the endgame. |

I hope you developers see just how devastating this change is to the community's mindset and change course. This is a huge error.

I'm looking forward to Diablo 4. If I don't have the opportunity to make my character good, then I simply won't have the desire to buy support packs.

Aside from just deleting Harvest, there is nothing GGG can do tha nerfs Harvest for the top while letting everyone else have fun. This will just annoy top players, which will still keep Discording crafts, and ruin Harvest for the rest.
Harvest was a mistake, because this game's "crafting" system is horrendous. Well, at least I'll be back running actual content instead of praying for Harvest, so I guess that's something. |

"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."
The worst feeling, no one does that. even if you have the currency to do that, spamming exalt/annuls is definitely not engaging and it is boring as fuck. oh, wow i have ~ 1 in 1000 to improve my item, if not i have ~ 4 out 6 to not destroy/worsen it and then again 1 in 1000.......booooring ok then lets identify 100-200 rares per map...zzzzzz. WTF there are reason no one picks up rares. Harvest allows you to be a little strategic about crafting and it is engaging, even if you copy known recipes/strategies. DUMB CHANGE, enough reasons have already been mentioned. |

Never wrote answers like many others, but this manifesto made me.. I don't know, angry and sad i suppose. I usually played the game for 3-4 weeks and left, this legue we even created a private legue with friend and are still playing, cause we had possibility not to buy gear after brainless farm, Harvest gave us possibility to craft what we wanted, i tryed a lot of builds cause i had possibility to create gear i need. Less rng made POE much more intresting and enjoible at least for me and all people i know playing. Now it means we get yolo back and loose a lot of sence in grinding. Yolo annul, yolo exalt, get crap on gear you crafted for several days or bought for xxx exalts, feel all the time you lost, get disappointed. Thanks. I really like this game, but this is the worst decision i saw from developers in a long time. Target crafting was a step forward, now we go back to the stoneage.

" Whoa whoa wait wait. You only play SSF? Why the heck do YOU care about Harvest? You know you can just skip that content if you think it is a mistake... right? Why does what other people do in the game have any effect on you? Wow man.. just wow. |
