Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

Glad to see my post here and on reddit were removed because I asked players that were still not happy about the changes to "stick to their guns". That's apparently a "call to action". What's the action? Well they can't say but they sure will infer. Any dissenting opinions are being deleted there. What they know is there are MANY people that are STILL pissed off about these changes and they don't want them to know that there are still MANY people that are in the same boat. If you're reading this before the start of the new league: Have a backbone. Go outside. Start being more healthy. Go for a jog! Eat well. Enjoy yourself.
I'm just posting to help get this thread to 500 pages since that's a round number and I like round numbers.
Украина в моём сердце
Before this manifesto mirror was around 400 ex.

Now its 900++ and going up.

But you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA why it happened, and where is it going, right?

Thank them with your wallet, cause a lot of players will stop that.


Could you please use your crystalball and your ability to foresee the future to let me know the winning lottery numbers? Feel free to DM. You should also know the one I plan to play since you definitely have magical abilities.

talked to a player last night that has plans for massive profit from the upcoming league. he told me that it will be easier to make mirror gear with the new changes. he does however have a credit card with no limit. he also did not abuse harvest and uses other crafting methods instead. he's been playing since the beginning of poe.

drop rates seem to have changed for me as the last 2 days that i've been grinding to get a harvest(none spawned) i've been getting drops that i've never seen before but was told were common. the game seems extremely unbalanced to me. almost like it's a drop pool instead of individual drop percentages.

ran a test last night with 60 T16 maps using zana, 30 in haewark hamlet and 30 in lex proxima for a total of 60 in each. not a single harvest. my daughter that also plays, i set her atlas the same as mine with my watchstones and identical scoured T16 maps and she got 12 harvests.

game mechanics are severely out of balance. this is why some players need harvest left the way it is. but GGG only cares about the small pool of players and not common people


Not sure you understand the concept of randomness...hmmmmm.

harvest will spawn 60% more. so now i only need to run roughly 100 maps to get 1. but now, the crafts i need to complete some of my gear(that a whole league i could not get enough crafts) will be removed. thanks GGG for ruining the game completely.

also looks like it will once again come down to the "haves" and "have nots". casual players are still going to get screwed over


Bro. There is another dude like you. I mean one with your abilities to foresee the future too.

Page 478. Do you mind collaborating with him for the lottery numbers? I'm sure together you can get it right for me!

You know what they say right? 2 crystalballs are better than one!

Thank you! (but you already knew I was gonna write all this right?)

I don't have a crystal ball, so no, I can't. But I also don't need one. I know about 50 players (friend and acquaintance) in poe that spend 30-60$ every league they play and have fun with, and more than half of them (those that have a job and/or are otherwise busy with real life stuff) will stop supporting the game after this manifesto, because they feel that the game is not meant for them, so why would they support it.

Dear Chris,

For once I think you are wrong. That won't make me stop and support your game, but being able to craft item as we had in 3.13 and in previous Harvest league is the main reason that made me play over two months every days.

You must understand that everything we achieve in POE is always very time consumming, I mean like a lot. Here, this is generating more frustration. I'll do as before and skip crafting again, as I did with many league specifics mechanics that were ridiculously time consumming.

Frustration is bad, progress is good.

Nerfing Harvest because of Discord's trade leave me a very salty taste in my mouth and seems very wrong for people like me who never used this method.

Friendly.

I spent $160 in POE before.

No one dollar plan to pay, until:

1. Normal Trade platform, what I deserve, along with 100k other players.

2. Deterministic craft, to understand how to get TopLevel items in a clear way. Ok, let it way to be very expensive. But clear the way. How to craft the item in your own hands. Similar to craft 6L or 6socket need a lot of orbs, but deterministic and guaranteed.

Pls say it for Cris.
