Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

the best way to show them this is a bad move, is simply to not play the next league when it starts, or at all, which I'm planning to do, I skipped heist and I felt great about it. and I quit this league as soon as they announced this [Removed by Support].

Harvest was the only way the casuals could get gear powerful enough to get to t15 + maps and end game bosses.

This is just wrong. Sorry but i can get to t15 maps with 2 exalts budget.
Just not with every build and not with a build that plain sucks.

I dont say the harvest changes are perfect but there is a lot mimi here that is just not correct. The only way that what you are saying is correct, is if you think a casual is playing 1 hour a week.

This is the only thread I have seen where the page count is going down.

And more Pages got deleted, we should work out some sort of backup to see what kind of Posts they are deleting, also inform maybe some Gaming News Outlets on that behavior.

First they take harvest and next they're gonna take some comments out that were definitely not just straight-up harassment!

BY MY FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT I WANT TO HARASS ANYONE THAT DISAGREES WITH ME!

At the end of every league, I ask myself - do I really want to go through all this again? Does it still feel like fun, or does it start feeling more like.. work?

Now, when I imagine I will need to spend so much more time mindlessly grinding to get the same result as with the current state of Harvest, it just suddenly seems like a boring work to me.

Messing with the tags a little to eliminate the most insane crafts would be so much better then the introduced nerfs.

I think all of us casuals do that. Thing is you get bored pretty quick with everything at your disposal in standard. It's actually the hunt for GG that's the fun part not actually having the GG stuff. You'll be back.

I completely agree with the hunt being the real fun here. But the hunt has to actually have a reasonable chance to succeed (reasonable being rather subjective I admit). With current Harvest, the chance might have been a bit higher then necessary, especially for certain OP items, but as I wrote, that could be easily resolved by messing with the tags. Either removing them (easy, but also heavily impacting delve crafting) or adding them (and hence making them more improbable to craft while increasing the risk of removing a mod you actually want). By the way, I've spent more time playing this league then probably all previous leagues combined, so Harvest did not remove the fun for me, on contrary, it motivated me to try to push the build to the limits.

I also did lots of alteration and delve crafting this league and at certain point the process becomes extremely boring. I mean, applying an alteration 3000 times, meh. Don't want to go through this again.

As about being back in the future, it's certainly possible. I find threatening 'I am definitively leaving this game, not paying a single dime anymore' etc. funny and GGG has seen millions of such posts afer each nerf without actually feeling any impact. But at the very moment, I am really disappointed by the planned changes. I just don't feel the usual urge to start a new build from scratch and making it amazing, knowing I would have to invest 3x more time into rather boring grind to achieve similar result.

Overall, this is undoubtedly a heavy nerf to high-end Harvest Crafting, but we strongly believe that it is in Path of Exile's best interests going forward

dont forget sacrifice divination card to get 0 or double

either you remove this craft completly or make it so rare that it always double up

other wise its gambling aswell. and there is laws against it no matter what of the user interaction it feels the same as being in the casino. who goes casino and closes his eyes. lead developer himself ? sir you might have a big problem. and european FCCA aswell with you.

i agree with some changes, and i disagree with it being overpowered.
We still need to put hours upon hours, to get a ''good'' item, i have never crafted a mirror tier item before, and honestly, can't even do it with harvest as it is right now, and u want to nerf it to the ground, how kind.

why the fuck
