Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

I can live without Harvest but Chris was right that this experiment may have ruined the game for many.

It was basically an item editor (for good items) by GGGs standards, not as extreme as Last Epoch ones, which showcased how RNG massive/spammy the "crafting" should in this game, now that they confirmed it with this post.

Wholeheartedly disagree with the statements put forward in this manifesto.

This game has turned into treadmill when you need to spent 2000 hours a league to achieve anything - thanks to harvest this has been lowered like 5x to something manageable.

The absolute insane inflation from stupid fully juiced fractured maps is appalling, the experience of doing that is just ridiculous - how is this not removed from the game already? Meanwhile any other viable way of obtaining items for 99,9% is to use harvest this league. Meanwhile, the difficulty curve is at it's peak for the game.

As this has been multiple times mentioned in this thread, those changes solve nothing, and change the game to be run by some 0,001% of absolute no-life players who has time running this game 20h/day and engage with shady 3rd party discord channels.

The best time to solicit thoughts, opinions and ideas were day before yesterday. The next best time is now!

I made alot more money this league than any other before. And that is in the firstplace thanks to harvest.
I was able to change my gear easier because I was able to change resistances, I was able to upgrade easier because I could actually slam stuff I want.
Not everyone in this game has the time and exalts to try to hit what they want over and over again.
People that do get their item with or withot harvest anyway.
So nerving Harvest this way punishes casual players in my opinion.

I propose other changes:

- First of make Harvestcrafts itemisable, so we can stop trading on discord.
(which you didn't even adress in your changes)

- The item to itemise the craft is a rare item, that drops from different places, like a scarab. (Or is sold by Oshabi)

- You cannot apply a craft outside of the grove unless it is itemised.

- Keep the deterministic crafts like rem/add in but change the weights when crafting with Harvest. Instead of a 1 in 10 to get t1 make it a one in 100.
This way you nerf the crafts but still have deterministic crafting. And don't brick your items left and right.

- Make the Harvest Spawn the Mobs wave like, but more of them to make it more challenging to get the crafts. And Wavelike so you don't get the usual lag spike.

- Give seeds a percentage change to wither once you start the Harvest. BUT give us back the buds, that we can place or apply on the collector to reduce the changes of that happening.


There is much more stuff you can do to fix this instead of just killing the rates.

i should rename game to "Path of Nerf: pain and suffering"

GGG Developer manifesto is:
"We always screw up all you like in this game"

I can understand the upset people, because actual crafting (RNG) is shit.
Harvest made crafting more fun being more deterministic.


Good riddance..
so what we gonna sell ? lol
RIP!

GGG WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?


because 0,1% made really good items 99,9% of all Players now have to suffer?

you are annoyed that people use discord to trade annul and exalt craft you completly remove them?

i can tell you people use poe.trade to also trade everything else in the game, better remove all these items too or better trading completly from the game now.


Harvest was the one thing that made this rng items grind bs playable for me...
