Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

A lot of people have been threatening to withdraw financial support from the game or quit entirely if these changes aren't reversed, if they haven’t done so already. Let me offer the proverbial carrot: GGG, if you reverse course on this and adopt a design philosophy that is more broadly permissive of deterministic crafting so as to respect the time of more of your player base, I and I'm sure many others will spend a lot more money on this game and POE2.

I’m simply not going to go all-in on a game that doesn’t respect my time.

I was eyeing that Harvest pack for a while now. I skipped the actual league, but I was really enjoying it this league. I was looking at that pack again after some players were non too happy with it - or the purchase of it - in light of the announcement, and I found my one eye twitching as I was looking at it :( - just a little. Ah well. It’s a great looking pack that seems to have lost some of its weight... impact... something.

I was proud of my harvest crafts... sure its deterministic, but i still had to farm hours upon hours for multiple harvests, still take lots of "gambles", still had to do lots of re-rolls. But it was still rewarding and kept me around longer than ever this league. This change makes me sad.

- here, take this Mercedes, travel a lot with comfort.
- Ohhh, u're traveling too much and with too much comfort. Give us back Mercedes, take this one-wheel bicycle.
- Yeah, now we see: u're traveling as we thought :))

Nope GGG is trying to find and pay for the cooking lessons for Chris, and the late is trying to learn that cooking is not waiting for luck or destiny to get a scramble egg :v

These changes will make TFT Discord even more used. Think about it. Now you need way more tries to do anything. Specifically reforges after a couple prefix's or suffix's are locked trying for 2 more specifics like crit reforges on crusader/elder chest. I tested this in emulator and takes avg 10 crit reforges whereas before it only took 2 add crit. All you did was make TFT shopping more expensive not less used. Will be way more used. 5x more used based on this particular craft. A very popular craft mind you.

Crusader/Edler
Prefix's
Explode
+1 support gems or % life
Life

Suffix's
PC on crit
+1.5 CC

Wonder if you guys own TFT stock?

Come on Team you can do better.
