Idk about tradies but in SSF harvest is mandatory for multiple reasons which include influence swap, fossil swap, resistance swap, essence swap, fragments swap basically all swaps are OP, you can even synth slam, reforge chaos and life/def can be very nice as well, I don't know how any player worth his salt claims to play just fine without everything that harvest offers, I'm sorry that you only see value in selling the juice

What's really hilarious is that your post only reinforces what people are saying - that Harvest was pretty much gutted. Harvest was a crafting mechanic. That people do not use for crafting anymore, even in SSF. If that doesn't tell you anything...(and no, swapping cold res for fire res isn't "crafting")

Harvest is nowadays 99% used for swaps and card gamba. In some very corner cases harvest crafting is actually decent. Very, very rarely. I love crafting and I do it a lot, and I can safely tell you out of all the crafting mechanics, I use harvest the least for actual crafting. Which is just plain sad, honestly, because it had huge potential to be useful and interesting without being disgustingly OP.

I don't disagree that original harvest was OP and needed to be nerfed. But just like Kinetic Rain (and so many other things) it was overnerfed to the point where its original purpose was lost. Most of what it's used for now (item swaps) wasn't even part of the early iterations of harvest, GGG only added that later so the mechanic won't be completely useless 90% of the time.

he is right

main reason people USE harvest is gamba, second one is 'swaps', third is crafting if you can call rerolling and risking filling the item up. in ssf it might be different but i never cared about ssf so there is that.

this is what he wrote and this is how harvest is used nowadays.

and harvest not using up strands (among many other mechanics, that also dont use them) is more an oversight than a feature.

i do not know why this is mentioned in kinetic rain nerrf thread, but hey, here is that

I assumed they were making updates but not posting them since usually there are updates daily and there has only been 1 update. I figured they would be posted later in a longer list instead.

Last patch notes update for 3.27 was 4 days ago, and featured a single change.

We are overdue for change update, and they dont seem to have a problem adding a small number of updates at a time.

Yes like i said.

They is no amount of updating they're required to do. For all we know they could post 75 updates in 1 day. They're not bound by some agreement to do it every day.

Oh, nevermind. I recognize you. The HCSSF guy who wants the game balanced around his niche. Enjoy.
