Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

"

Using currency items like Exalted Orbs or Chaos Orbs on your gear is a powerful, risky and exciting way to improve it.

You think using Exalted or Choas Orbs is Exciting?
You think they 'improve' an item?

You must be playing a different game.

May I suggest that you create a poll to try and get the feeling pretty much all non-streamers have according to this? My guess is that 'Exciting' and 'Improved item' would not get many votes.

Poll 1: Using Exalted/Chaos Orb is
... exciting way to improve my item
... is a way to gamble away my currency
... a frustrating experience
... something I never do
... boring
... a great way to brick my item
... other

They should have gotten rid of this cancer alltogether. I play hardcore trade and this part of the game is retarded. I dont want be some discord trader.

Acknowledging that that discord trading is a problem with a powerful crafting system, and then not addressing it. GGG

Stupid change, reddit managed to kill off another interesting facet of the game. Harvest for the most part will now straight up be avoided in the game, and finding it will be seen as a wasted trigger.
Just because reddit kept whining about things they could not understand.

This league is my first experience and I honestly had so much fun because I was always too scared crafting myself.

Its sad to see that this harvest is already getting nerfed.

Guess its back to budget builds and buying from other people again

Problem solved. Thank me later.

i quit WoW because their useless soulbound system

WoW's soukbounds are useless because you have no say on how they turn out to be. And if you are crafting and item with harvest so you can use it, how would turning it soulbound render it useless?

because whenever I play a league I just don't want to play 1 build the entire league? jeesus fucking christ its like talking to a wall

Okay Chris if you want to nerf harvest ( the only way average players could attain decent gear like top end players ) why dont u remove low tiers mods from high ilvl items or get rid of shit like mana and stun and block or at least give you a decent chance to make items with at least 4/6 useful mods from a Awakener orb... gambling hundreds of ex's and awakening multiple versions of the item u want to make is awful... this is such a step backwards for the game. this is the most active league Ive seen and I know its not because of fucking ritual.... its because of harvest, and the fact that end game gear is now attainable by the masses. its giving the average joe and chance to finally learn how crafting works and how to manipulate mods.

This is very unfair.The people that had alot of money on standard have made perfect items with it already while us plebs are still strugling to get the first influence mod.To leave it up like this just a bit so the rich can get richer again...

If you want to remove determinism then just make everything trully random , not gate some mods with 0.0001% chance especially when the items with them are made already by the rich and charge ridiculous rates for mirrorirng not to mention that mirror prices have triplled.

mfw harvest is the only reason i wanted to keep playing this game next league
