thank u so much for making the game fun again GGG looking forward to the next league ! :D

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.


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.
The endgame trade is officially in discord with these changes. I don't plan to install 3rd party software in order to play the game. Thank you and good luck with the discord trade aspect of the game!

Easy solution: Make the crafts drop as items (seed/juice), which can be used in the crafting device in your ho. Crafts that should drop items (like div cards, perandus coins etc.) should be used in the harvest.
As it seems you like the discord bs, though.

How hard to type the harvest craft in discord channel manually....

also discord has web version so that you don't need to type at all

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


what's random about not getting a single harvest to spawn with 120 maps? while others, including my daughter, get them roughly at the percentage that it should spawn. it's not called random, it's called unbalanced coding.
poe is going down fast. Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3 have no performance issues. play them instead
Nice please keep going the RMT in your game.

People had countless suggestions about how to make it more balanced yet you decided to spit in the face of 99 percent of the players. Thanks. If only i could refund my pack that i bought, i would. Just forget about me and a lot of other people buying ANYTHING from your store from now on.

The point is not being mad because harvest was an easier way to get good items and you removed it, the point is being mad about this decision because you clearly don't know AT ALL what is happenning in your game.
Path of exile is great game except if you have something to do in life like laundry or eating
"Items are too strong. We decided not to nerf them, but make them rarer. On the other hand, we will balance our content around high end items."

Cool stuff.
Poor players, how did they managed to play before Harvest was introduced I wonder? Crafting items and reaching endgame was probably impossible.
All this outrage about harvest nerf reminds me of a drug addiction. Players got an easy way to play while disregarding the rest of the game mechanics and now they can't live without it. The addition of targeted crafts was a big mistake and honestly it shouldn't have been added to core after the league ended because no other league had this mechanic and it was broken. But now it is too late to remove it completely, unfortunately.
Removing the annuls is the best solution if you want harvest crafts to remain in game at all - you still have targeted exalt and targeted lucky chaos rerolls but you can't reroll one particular mod indefinitely without any consequences or risk. Back to the gambling, which is the main idea of PoE.
