Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting
|
Manifestus XXI
Chapter 3:10 And thus were the citizens harvests plentiful and bountious. And the citizens used the bounty of these harvests to fashion implements and vestments of heretofor unseen splendor and might. And they took these implements, and these vestments, and joined battle on the denizens of the dark places, and of the in-between spaces. And the citizens laid waste to all before them. And thus began a period of mastery over the Realms of the Atlas such as had never been. When ThriceG saw what unfolded, how the bounty of the crops and the abundance of mighty implements and vestments made light of the challenges he had set forth to trial and harden the citizens, he was distraught. ThriceG could see the inevitable corruption to which such ease and langour would lead, and he was thus angered. ThriceG sent forth the Arch Angel WilsonChris and bade him spake thus, "Know this, thee citizens of Exile, that ThriceG sees your achievements, and your conquests, and is pleased by your actions. But ThriceG also foresees that you will become corrupt, and without soul, and bereft of purpose without challenge and strife. Thus He has ordained that your crops will be less bountious, and the count of your fruits and variety of your harvests shall be lessened. Henceforth, upon the next turning of the moon, thou shall have obscurred vision, and be stripped of prescience of thine outcomes. For only the blind may truly appreciate the light." |

" All the fun I had with Maven was possible because I could get gear to even reach Maven. Guess how? Harvest. Harvest is also what made the grind for currency not only bearable, but also fun. Why? Because I had crafting goals, so I knew what direction I was going. Were they 100% deterministic goals? No. It took me a month to create my explody chest. And countless fails in the process... |
|
" Not every build needs Harvest to kill Maven. Good that it worked for you, but it was not a pre-requisite for everyone. |

i rather get my items done first 2 weeks and enyoy the game than crying, sweating thru carpal tunnel to optain enough currency to buy my gear from those top 1 crafters who rmt.
and then enyoy the actual game and thinking of getting cool mtx to look cool on lioneye watch for rest newbs. but holdup. ggg just say fk no. you need to bleed from every hole your body have for 3 month of league period to start actualy play the league i havent still killed sirus. i just want to roam maps and craft, test for fun i said this in december. if i cant have target craft then there is no point for me being here. im fed up for chaos and ex slams long before harvest came to game. mark my words ggg. if you remove target craft. you dig yourself deeper hole. fk archnemesis.

" I actually agree with you, and to be honest, seeing how toxic those self-claimed "casuals" are, it wouldn't be a bad thing to see them quit the game. First thing i did is to see what's going to be able, and saw many ways to still do things (more expensive, that's true). What's funny is that people didn't complained when they cleared all content with multimoded explo chest, now they just want to have access to 10 times better items for 20ex. Seeing all that baby's cries made me changes my mind, make the game for people who tries not for people who cries. |

" Well done like fried chicken. If only this entire would speak like this; the thread would be 500+ pages by now. |
|
" And I never said that it needs. You skipped the focus on FUN in my post. The same fun that made me stick around longer. And buy the supporter pack to show approval / support the devs. And to set goals for myself, other than possibly getting the challenges... And for the first time, allowed me to thinker with my own items, rather than going with the guides / top builds on poe.ninja... etc. Last edited by Am3nti#4097 on Mar 12, 2021, 1:27:34 PM

" This game IS about build diversity, but your solution is "just play builds that don't need good items to reach end game". What a waste of an enourmous passive tree and 10+ classes with their ascendances... |

They did not say the exact words but the feeling I get from this post could be summed up as
"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for slamming exalts" |
