General Discussion - Harvest could be worst league ever? - Forum

Which means that I can do nothing to better my gear - except destroy it for MAYBE one roll that's useful - which means loosing the three others that are already there and already useful. PoE crafting - the worst system in all of gaming. this is true i used bring a 12 dragon scales to a blacksmith and i expect him to craft me a dragon scale armor now i bring same materials and i get a chance to roll a dice, most likely get some garbage (since couple leagues the same probem) That really emphasizes the issue with this kind of design - if you're gonna make players jump through extra hoops, they want a guarantee they're getting something useful to make the hassle worthwhile. Require players to go through set steps to guarantee a useful recipe, ok. Make players go through convoluted steps where the result is typically vendor trash and you burn out players fast, they already have enough other stuff to grind out every league. Yep, totally over league play.	Posted by SeCKSEgai#6175 on Jun 23, 2020, 1:09:04 AM Quote this Post
imho this is the worst league ever… I don't know why POE developers like so much Sims things.. what will we get next league? cats and dogs ? Gardening is not intuitive, I would even say it is irritating. It should be automated somehow or at least you should have option to switch autogardening > manual (you decide where plants grow). Really stupid sims idea this league. I have feeling that I don't want to play this league after few hours spent... not to mention optimization, disconnects, crashes. Previous league was fine for me at least (free of crashes). Good luck with upcoming H&S games Last edited by placemaker#6134 on Jun 23, 2020, 1:55:57 AM	Posted by placemaker#6134 on Jun 23, 2020, 1:55:02 AM Quote this Post

Maybe, just maybe, you should read my posts and then you might grasp the lgoci of why I have zero challenges in a league I have no interest in playing. You retort makes zero sense. Why would I need experience in the league to NOT like the concept? I've played this game long enough and done enough grinding to know how the game works. From detailed reading/watching of the concepts, mechanics, feedback, streaming, and also YT vids I have grasped what the league is all about and how it works. I don't need to torment myself with making a character and grinding to red maps to see what it will be like for me. Therefore, my opinions are based upon many characters worth and leagues worth of engaging in the game to end game multiple times. I believe my character profile would support that, unlike some others... With all due respect I'm done engaging with futile retorts from you that have no thought behind them. I sincerely hope that you enjoy yourself in the league. Who knows, maybe you'll level a single toon to 90+ and have a great time. P.S. Thank you SeCKSEgai. I see you managed to make some sense out of what I was saying in a thoughtful and logical fashion. You are entitled to your opinion, no worries. Anyone can do what you did and watch YT and Twitch to learn what it's all about. The same can be done by the very people you call out for only having 1 or 2 challenges completed. You sir are a hypocrite and that's what I was calling out. The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

League is terrible. I'm barely hanging on in this one. Its drab, its boring, the mechanic is annoying to mess with, and in true GGG fashion, they are too scarce with it to start. So, by the time they buff the seed drops/item drops, league gonna be dead in the water. You dont get enough seeds to do much at all. I mean if they were more generous with the seeds, and instead of having that stupid ass plant, you had 3-4 packs of mobs in the map that dropped the seeds instead, that alone would have helped some. Some old Tora-mission-like spawns of mobs that dropped the t1 seeds, and then the t2-4 were more generous and less of a hassle to set up. That would have been more tolerable. Nah, after I just harvested some t2 seeds and got to turn 3 ID scrolls into chance orbs, and 3 transmutes into 3 alchs after 6 maps of farming, I'm about checked out on this sham. I hope some good games are on the Steam Sale and I'm outta here till next league.	Posted by Destructodave#2478 on Jun 23, 2020, 5:30:20 AM Quote this Post
These harvest plants could be popping out masterpiece gear and chaos/exalts like crazy and I still wouldn't want a thing to do with it. The core issue is that it's just not fun. When I get to a new area I should be looking forward to interacting with the league mechanic, not dreading it. Harvest feels like an obligation and it completely pulls me out of the game. It's not just about the complexity of the farming system, complexity is why many of us play PoE. Problem with Harvest is that it's complex in the same way legalese is complex- it's boring, frustrating, and unintuitive. I CAN figure it out just fine, it's just a question of WHY should I figure it out. Only a few steps in and my brain kinda checks the F8$% out and stops sending dopamine- like it would during a two hour NPR talk about local basket weavers. Harvest, to me, feels like a crafting system with the barrier of an unnecessary "simon-says" puzzle game. No thanks...
