"Harvest's crafting potential without being gated by rarity is just too high."

If thats the thing holding you back, i would love it, if you could just give us the old Harvest back with the old system. It worked and was good.

I personally loved the new choice with lifeforce droppin on the ground and you having all the crafts already, and me and my friends yelled out loud doing the reveal livestream about how nice it was gonna be, and dont get me wrong it is nice.

But with how the crafts are now, endgame crafting is dead or heavily heavily gated behind RNG or having the monetary means to just spam for it or buy it outright on trade.
But no one is crafting with how the new system is, so the last option is gone if not almost.

SSF streamers are migratin to Softcore in masses, as they cant craft and upgrade their gear during progression, they have to get lucky and find some piece of junk on the ground, that they maybe could use as an upgrade out of all the random trash thats droppin.

Im fine with Archnemesis as they are now, yes they are rippy as hell with their damage mods, but their defense is in a fine position now atleast so more finetuning can come later.

Drops and loot are still not feeling quite the same as last league, but can be were just getting used to the new system and i see youre looking into changes and updates on that point so thats fine.

But leaving Harvest in the state it is now is just.... not right.
I know people are saying just remove it, if this is how its gonna be maybe being a little rough, but not far off. People are using it currently to reroll essences, emblems etc. Div gambles etc. The more niche stuff.

People arent really high tier crafting items with it anymore, which was what it was sold as when the harvest league was launched. A new crafting system to figure out and enjoy.

"Harvest's crafting potential without being gated by rarity is just too high."

Would really love if we could just go back to the old Harvest in thats whats holding you guys back in your changes.

Or even keep the lifeforce change, and us having all the crafts. BUT make the lifeforce not tradeable if thats what it takes.

I loved fully speccin into Harvest and having fun with it, even tho as im not a super crafter, but it was fine making your own upgrades and maybe making some nice things to sell others could use.

This league i started with it on the Atlas tree with all the nodes like i used to, but it just wasnt good. Still after all the changes youve made to it. At this point if just fully specced out of it, and even thought about blocking the Sacred Grove on the tree, thats how sad of a state its in now.

- So please GGG, either find a way to give us Harvest back as it was in Sentinel league and before that or make Lifeforce not tradable.

Then it would still be rare, and with the lifeforce, you could see your progress and how close you are to finishing your item. Could be nice milestones during progression and you'll make the SSF players come back.

Its good thing youre listening to our feedback. But when top crafters like Ghazzy and others are saying "That he cant comprehend how dissapointed he is, with what youve done to crafting this league" something is very wrong.

Sorry for the long Novelle, but hope youll take my feedback into account.

Edit:

Had to mention Ben_/Lightee's tweet from today:

"Was about to turn stream on but this most recent news post has killed any desire to log in to Path of Exile today.

Maybe tomorrow who knows"

Please just roll harvest back to the previous patch. It is not better in anyway. Changes should be better for the game overall. This is not achieving the goal.

Its sad how deep you have fallen. The last 4 leagues i was just angry and playing, at this point i just stopped caring at all. you wont learn with your dumbass ''vision'' hope you get a good competitor real soon

sry im out
harvest is dead like my will to play the game

Thank you for the feedback GGG.
I know these past weeks have been difficult, with the loud minority of the community in uproar.

I hope you stick your guns and develop PoE within your own philosphy because that is what has brought you guys success so far.

Please dont cave in to the demands of the loud minority.

Bruhhhh Harvest Buff When ?

Harvest used to be fun. Now it's not. Like Alva's quests, I just skip Harvest as it's trivial content.
I don't know what you mean by 'feels bad'.
The Lake itself is rather bland. From the description, I thought it'd be a patchwork of zones that looked and felt like those zones, and not just Q*bert with spells. It's a good idea but I don't think it was implemented very well. I am indifferent to the Lake and only go there because it's the league and all. Once it ends, I can't see myself wanting to go back if it remains as it is.

You already know what the community wants and you're stalling just to not prove everyone you fucked up. Your ego is affecting your pocket. Time to put them on a weight if your ego is worth more than all the money you're losing for this. Just buff the loot and be done with it ffs.


Edit

"Oh and btw the divine change was like when you go to McDonalds and you order nuggets and they have no bbq but sweetnsour sauce"

why isn't the main concern of the community still not being addressed which is the prob?lem with overall loot drops the game feels so bad you can't get anything of high quality to drop unless you do like 30 maps and only then you maybe get 1 divine drop, and when you actually encounter a multiple archnemisis mods monster that could potentially have high quality drop rate like solaris touched and other ones, it instantly kills you with how overpowered it is, generally we don't want the game to be based around specific types of monsters having all the good loot drops making the game a lottery which is exteremelly boring and furstrating AND NOT FUN, for the sake of the future of this game and also POE2 listen to the communities demands and actually implement them otherwise the game is just not worth it.

this isnt enough, i dont feel as if GGG is actually listening to the community's feedback. also harvest dead makes sad.
