Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

You will probably destroy the best part of the game, which is a lot of fun

GGG dont do that!

Even the crafts we made quite rare felt pretty common when the entire community was pooling them together and using them on the right items.


It is clear that trading Harvest crafts is the problem.

Finding a solution for that would be much better.

The game cannot recognize the difference between an item that is traded for that you intend to craft on to use yourself versus an item that is traded to you for the sole purpose of giving it back to them for Exalts.

The only way around this is to introduce account bound items. (Which China Version does have), but many would not like this idea.

Simply making it so you can't annul or exalt influenced items outside the influence specific ones would of been enough.

Almost every GG mirror tier item made is some type of influence.

Instead they overnerfed several aspects.

It will still have plenty of strengths to use.

But their haphazard reasoning for these nerfs really makes them look out of touch with their player base.
Its the first time i enjoyed the game so much because of the profits the harvest gives and now its gone.. Well atleast i experienced how it feels having a Headhunter. Yes im part of the 99%.

Well hello Diablo 3 remake then.

Dear GGG,

I am not going to bash you, because I have enjoyed and still enjoy playing your game.

However, I do agree with the majority of players that these harvest changes are not ideal. This league I have started playing SSF, because with Harvest and Ritual I felt that that SSF has a lot to offer and I can play the game as it should be and making usefull items by my own.

Especially with the introduction of the late game content which is extremely hard as it is I just barely managed to defeat Maven in SSF 2 months in the league. I would say this is pretty balanced with all the hours i have put in. With the changes you are planning to Harvest it will make it extremely harder for SSF players to do.

Another benefit with Harvest in its current state is the build diversity, people are actually playing more than 1-2 builds that everyone is players while leaving the rest aside. Isnt build diversity what you want?

Usually im already burned-out around 3-4 weeks in the league, while now I am still playing the league 2 months in and still have not finished the gear for my character despite Harvest beeing available. In SSF Harvest is totally balanced and offers a great experience to SSF players beeing able to make gear that for the most part only available in trade.

With regards to trade league, I believe the great numbers of players and the enjoyment all players are experiencing is thanks to Harvest in its current state. The majority of players is still not able to make mirror tier items . Only a small % of players that are playing the game as a full time job are, and with all the hours they invest... i say let them... It is not bothering anyway.

Yet you have decided to change this, which impacts the biggest part of your community in a negative way. We do not want that only people that are playing the game 10 hours a day have access to high tier crafts and we do not want to whisper players and pay them exalts for a boss service because we do not have 1000 of exalts to get that so called "close your eyes feeling". We want do this on our own and with Harvest the majority of us actually can!

PS, whoever came up with that exalt slam quote has not really played the game nor understands what the majority of players want. Nobody wants to ruin his item he spend so much trying to craft with a 1/6000 possibility and hit stun and block recovery or increased rarity of items found..

I hope you guys wont be stubborn and listen to your community because we want to help you realize that poe can be played forever which is the goal you are aiming for.


These three quotes summarise in what state the game is for last few years... :( Fix it, PLEASE! But the way WE want, not YOU, since you're NOT PLAYING IT anyway, as we clearly see!
I only come on the forums to view the first and last tab. It's hilarious. Good points or bad points aside... the first page is generally 3 letters per post. The last is this. G'luck!
Plz rethink that change...

Harvest League was super fun. The longest League for me. Heist Was boring af because i couldnt craft anymore (in a fun way).

Ritual was super fun again because i could have min max my char with Harvest
Harvest was such a great long term motivation for Standard and SSF players.

i actually had a blast in STD this expansion.
without Harvest i think i have to pause POE.

the "arguments" that are made up to justify are laughable too,dont know what they are thinking.

A good explanation of current Harvest 13 vs 14. With real data with fewer "Feelings".

It's probably the new quote for "don't you have phones"

what a lame excuse..
"Parade your victories, hide your defeats. Mortals are so insecure."

Once you break the cycle of fear no angels or demons can whisper you their sweet nothing words.
