Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting
I got bored of this league after a week.
Ritual was a great league, I played through the entire league and had a lot of fun with it. I didn't get to make mirror tier items but I crafted nice items that I was able to sustain capped resists and decent about of ES for my build to do end game content. Harvest allowed me to take risks in ritual and enjoy crafting again. For now PoE is on hold for me. |

I'm happy reading all comments.
I knew so many people are outraged about the harvest changes but noone seems to listen and do something about it. It's a fucking joke. Since I have 6 atlas harvest points allocated in haewark, 2x harvest spawned on it's own - reforge normal or magic items like 99% of the crafts there. I encounter harvest more often in regions where no harvest bonus applies (i don't say that this happens often, but it does happen 50x more than in haewark). If you run a t16 map, you get the worst out of the worst crafting options. If you run a t3 map, you get all the crafts you need. Change resists, Crit/speed crafts on mass but you can't use any of them because they are made for fucking ilvl 80-. And i'm NOT saying this happens only some of the times i encounter harvest in low tier maps, but literally more than 75% of the time in my case. Thank you so much for this perfect demonstration of BALANCING the game. It's just like in our society. People who always had more (in this case shit currency (every league!!!) like it's nothing) will keep shitting even more currency because they can actually spend those 50 ex on crafting items within the first 3 days of a new league) with only reforge harvest, and people who are average or even below average keep getting shit. correct me if i'm wrong. |

Previous post removed by support, so I will be more gentle now, hopefully should be OK.
GGG are visibly glad to gamble their long-time supporters and ignoring all feedback on this topic, killing their league retention rate and ensuring indefinite uninstalls. Since support is monitoring this closely, I would like to reiterate that whenever someone treats their customers like gambling addicted apes, they lose them. I for one am thankful that this decision was taken, it resulted in breaking me out of a 7-year POE binge to start working on more productive things in my life rather than this slot machine game. Not getting a single dime from me anymore. Ta ta Last edited by nomercyreaper#7087 on May 24, 2021, 3:51:40 PM

i played ritual league from start to end and i can say it was enjoyable. harvest was a huge help to me even though i was not able to complete the challenge and i wasn't able to play every content or end game boss content. i was still happy with what i end up having on my character.
Ultimatum came.. only tried playing for 4 hours got my character to lvl 20. I watched videos and read from forums about the new changes in the game. i did not expect harvest to be so useless with the way they say they are making changes. but listening to the popular guys who plays the game for a living made me realize the game is not worth playing anymore. until things gets better for players again. i will play. i do not like playing for 3-4 months and still have mediocre items. unable to really do all end game content without using the meta build most players are using. glad they made the change in harvest, i was about to buy packs but since i am nto playing the new league i am skipping or will not be spending anymore on the game.

Played Ultimatum until I hit the first encounter. Nah, a repackaged ritual. Done.
Planned to buy some stashes but lost motivation. Maybe until next time... |

Comming here time to time to check whether GGG came back to their senses with harvest.
Nope, doesn’t seem so. Back to hibernation. |

Played this game and spended some money. I was so happy when the harvest league came and I finally got interested in crafting. When harvest doesn't comes back with the annul modifier in a usable way, then I see no reason to spend time and money in the next season. I wanted to buy more stashes and pets this season but this just demotivated me.

" What i really dont like is this gambling . I try all the time to get my friends to play this game with me. Its really awesome what your devs did there. The mechanics of developing your own Skills is incredeble. But no one wants to play this with me because of your item policy. I study informatic so as u could guess most of my friends use the pc quite a lot. A really funny part is when u are able to craft your own stuff. Especially if you have such a horrible trading site. Explain me wheres the fun in writing 10 people, switch all the time the tab, copy the message and go back in game. And on top its really buggy: POE fills my graphiycard to 100% If any other program trys to use my graphic ram, then rip give me at least 5 to 10% air for other applications like windows explorer. https://ibb.co/pZhj3m7 When i switch between trading site and poe my pc crashes 1 of 5 times. So you wont give us a normal trading system. Ok, at least i can craft by myself some small stuff. So now i need to spend so much more time to buy all the ressources i need in order to craft even small stuff and use the trading site even more what makes the gameflow so much worse. I'll stop at this point and wait for the next league. If theres still no deterministic crafting, then ill cleanup some space. I started late and got till the point where i normally start to craft my gear. Thats the point where i can stop this league ill guess... Last edited by muellerman#5762 on May 26, 2021, 8:26:26 AM
