Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting
|
All you had to do was make harvest non tradable, and if that wasn’t enough, then make the best harvest crafts more rare. People are correct about the definition of crafting, if you take all the deterministic out of it, it’s no longer crafting, it’s gambling and if I wanted to gamble I’d just go to the casino. I’m a casual player and have played the most this league because I’ve been saving all my good crafts waiting for a piece of gear to try and make high end. If you take these parts out of harvest you might as well delete it because no one is going to use it anymore. This wasn’t that hard to come up with, you should reconsider your approach becuase I agree with your concerns, there are better ways! Heck I even liked the idea of a fire ex or cold ex or physical ex etc. my two cents and I really hope you guys listen to these posts people are making. Maybe in the future if your at a cross road, just throw up a poll and let the community decide.

This is not the way GGG. Original harvest was broken yes, but ritual harvest implementation works as intended! People can actually complete their own crafts and no the most BiS items are not cheap to craft at all. Here is hoping to reverting this decision to nerf harvest once again

" This, kill TFT Trades, not the Fun normal Players have with Harvest Crafting. |

" That. But we are back at the main problem that exists for years, the trading system. |

What in the world are you thinking about. Top 1% are going to get their items anyway, casuals who don't reach red maps won't ever see a harvest anyway, and all of us in the middle? I barely made one good item I was happy with in Harvest LEAGUE without buying anything from discords or anything, and now even that tiny thread of hope is gone. Can we get stats on how much the game designers, people discussing and writing these manifestos play? This looks out of touch. To hell with it, make crafts completely unstorable and unstorable and make em better, or just flat our remove it.

" Maybe you find fun in gambling your items with currencies. Maybe you find fun with buying what other people have crafted... I only find fun in PoE while slaying hordes of monters or improving my gear with deterministic crafting options... If one option goes away, the second is less fun and thus it is useless to even play the game... Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts.
Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic... |

"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."
Ok, I don't have much of a problem with this nerf, but this is probably one of the most embarrassing things GGG people ever said (if someone actually said such a stupid thing, maybe Chris just came up with that bs). This rivals with Blizzard's "Don't you guys have phones?" |

Chris, I dont know why dont you remove crafting completely from this game if you love rng that much. Just make rare item drop more desirable mods, so identifying rare is more rewarding. You can also make a NPC where you trade your currencies for a random rare with high chance of high-tier mods.
If RNG is what you want, be true to yourself and delete crafting. Period! |
