Development Manifesto - Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting - Forum

This does feel like quite a big nerf to something that was very enabling to players of all levels. Bit of a shame as it allowed a lot more exploration of what the amazing skill tree could achieve.	Posted by HaydnTh#0953 on Mar 12, 2021, 2:27:01 PM Quote this Post

Let's say that for one league GGG increased the godly good drops by 300% and the chaos, alchemy, exalt, mirror, divine, and blessed orbs drops by 300%. This would be SUPER simple for GGG to make such a change. I think that folks would be thrilled and very happy. If that was a long term change though PoE would become less challenging and fun. What would that change when a Ilvl 86 item can roll a t10 affixe ? Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts. Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic...

Never be sorry for your English. Speaking a foreign language is not something everyone does. I never apologize for any sort of mistakes, typos or grammar flaws I make. F that, English is like 3rd language I’ve learned (yep by ear, never went to school, reading and writing thru movies with subtitles and 100’s of emails) and after that I became proficient in Spanish as my 4th because of the job. I always appreciate people who correct me on daily basis, and I firmly believe knowing another language opens new horizons. Like, for example I could curse that harvest change in few languages -_- Persistence makes impossible possible, possible likely and likely definite. Yep, Mirror will drop eventually -_-	Posted by N4rk0tyk#1585 on Mar 12, 2021, 2:52:17 PM Quote this Post

GGG never able to understand causation and correlation I think they may be hired a non-math/science guy to do the datamining (any programmer can do datamining script, but forming correct hypothesis needs real science background) so that they presented a beautiful correlation of X and Y event that actually not a pair of cause and effect events. This is observed in their past because X so Y reasoning announcement . This is the start of forum signature: I am not a GGG employee.

Personally, I agree with all of the changes, harvest was very powerful and has reached a more stable level with this patch. However, the PR that this one post emenates is just awful. The choice of words is absolutely appauling. Stop treating your players like children who want to smash on the shiny exalt button all day. Nobody in their right mind uses an exalted orb for slamming an item. Most of the time, just getting the item you want from trade is literally cheaper than an exalt. Now, trade is a whole other can of worms i don't want to open.	Posted by MobileForce#2980 on Mar 12, 2021, 3:00:57 PM Quote this Post
