Harvest could be worst league ever?

Yeah I've already quit. This league is awful.

experiments with new mechanics are a good thing, but this one is just a plain misstep. they were taking risks and more or less got away with the shit like tower defense, board games puzzles, but its gone too far this time.

The game takes years to master, because there are TONS of relics from past leagues that serve basically the same or similar purpose than other mechanics (and people are confused what to do with all taht stuff), sometimes with slight differences. Not because of a "need of a spreadsheet" the problem is the game is designed with speedrunners and cookie-cutters in mind, that's why new mechanics need so much effort to master - if it was easy people would cry about it not being interesting, and being too fast to complete.
Hence the problem with this league - it is not a speedrun, it is not a loot explosion, it does not favour only the meta-builds. So people cry about it, becuase it is actually diferent.
But ultimately it does not come down to a any aprticular league, but the game direction and focus itself.

Overall this would be great overhaul of crafting => TO REPLACE the old system, not adding yet another layer to it.

I just love how you are defending this league so hard, yet you only have 1 challenge completed in it.

Sorry, but I find that absolutely hysterical. You must also be enjoying it so much that you're playing hours in it..... hmmm?

Been playing since Talisman, every league.

This one got old in a whopping 4 days.
4.

This 'crafting league' is just another RNG clusterfuck that brings *NOTHING* worthwhile to the game - just more headache.

Done with it.

If they want something meaningful to be made of crafting... get rid of the damn RNG. You want a result, you put in the components and you get said result. DONE. Get rid of the damn dice rolls.

Every time I scroll through the list of crafting and all I see is 'reforge' this and 'reforge' that... 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.

I was okay with this league, until I realized the trade-off that was being made. With no league mechanic that drops a decent amount of currency, I now find myself struggling to do basic bench crafts that I'm accustomed to doing during a challenge league. I just had to trade my only chaos (I'm still leveling) for some orbs of scouring to replace one resistance with another on a piece of gear. I know there are seeds that will swap one elemental resistance for another, but I believe those are tier 2 seeds. You'd have to get the seed to drop and then go through the harvest process. You've reduced my ability to craft something easily and gated it behind the harvest mechanic. I'd rather just have more orbs of scouring dropping, similar to other challenge leagues.

At the moment, I have no alchs, only 3 fusings, 5 jewelers orbs, and I'm running low on alterations. Basically, I'm broke compared to the amount of currency I'd usually have at this level, and it's not because I've been wasteful or using a ton of currency. The drops just suck.

I don't find the league mechanic too confusing -- it's just in some ways a worse form of crafting than what we already had (at least while leveling up). Not a great trade-off.

This league is a good indicator of the following questions:

1) How "content" are you with the base game?
2) Do you require MORE currency drops and MORE monsters to kill each league?
3) Do you even take into account the influx of map density we've had the last league, through Blight, Betrayal, Delirium and Legion? Not to mention scarabs?

I understand finding Harvest seed growing a bit dull. But to write it off as the "worst league ever" because there isn't MORE to kill and MORE drops, so you can buy everything you need in the first week(s)? We're starting to get into entitled territory here.

Last league was the most speed-driven and density-driven league of all time. Some people got what they wanted there, currency rained from the sky and you could buy everything your heart desired. Now we have a slower league, aimed at players that don't want a speed-driven currency-fest.

All leagues can't appeal to everyone. And it's OK to take a league break. Stop being salty about it.

This man/woman (or whatever) deserves a cookie. Everyone is SOOOO entitled... maybe you should play the game for the game itself, not for the single new mechanic and loot explosions everywhere.
Lot of the posts just seem to show taht people are not enjoying the game at all, unless they get TONS of stuff all the time, and ideally it is something new every few weeks... What about stopping for a moment and enjoying the game as is, and not as YOU want it to be?
