Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

Harvest by far my favorite part of the game.

Seems like an odd choice to make a change to harvest a part of the game that alot of people very much enjoy when there is so much just really bad content.

Guess I'll go back to playing 2-3 weeks each league, that's about the time you realize how much time you'd have to invest to

A) save up enough currency to buy a decent item or
B) save up enough currency to buy crafting mats by msging 400 different people to buy 20 fossils and then yolo craft and hope you get something decent

Look at all these comments. Now that they got a taste of some OP crafting nonsense, they cant go back living without it, instead they are shaming the developers. People enjoyed playing the game before without Harvest, and people will enjoy it afterwards. You guys complaining are out of your mind, like babies whose toy was taken away and cant get over it. Even worse with threatening saying "im gonna quit", "im not gonna buy packs anymore", cry, cry, cry.
Yea, this is the XXI. century, the age of spoiled grown children.

Man since crafting is so OP why are you running around with gear that isn't 6x t1?

Terrible change

This nerf is way too heavy on the little players. The craft you are removing from harvest are the one that enables true crafting options. Without deterministic crafting then it's only gambling. It is now impossible to anyone having a life outside the game to get a decent item while crafting. I will not play the next league.

Love the changes! =)

Nice t2-t4 mods on your gear... XD

Just adding my voice to the outcry over this. I've been playing this game since 0.9 or so, and nobody enjoyed the old exalt slam crafting. The quote about the enjoyment of exalt slamming is so out of touch that it seriously has me questioning if the development team has actually played their own game, with the same restrictions as the live realm to level 90, even once within the past year.

Horrible change. I remember an interview from a while back where one of the dev team, maybe Chris, mentioned that they hadn't considered how much fun old CoC was back when they nerfed the shit out of it, and the playerbase dropped off a cliff as a result of said nerf. I feel like you guys are making a similarly baffling mistake here, only it's even harder to recover from than just blasting one type of skill as it will drastically reduce the range of viable, off-meta builds.

I hope you reconsider this course of action.

This is stupid.... this league has been the best for SSF EVER. You are telling everyone, you balance around SSF but the only best thing that enables huge fun in there has been Harvest. Now it is gone. I would love to see your thinking cause this just looks like you have disconnected from the community af or you just straight up said, fuck anyone who playes less than 6h a day. I have been only loving and supporting you(both promoting and paying). But this one here, I am giving up on next league because I just cannot do anything in SSF unless I pump 2x the time that I did this league and that I just don't have (nah nah, unless I can get to some good endgame or I can see a chance getting there, I am playing but this one is just "Fuck you" to all of us playing)

Fuck I am so angry and disappointed that my mind is not straight

PS: noone loves the old crafting, that is just bullshit. The reason we used it was because there were no other options. The only other deterministic option are fossiles and they have been gutted instead of giving them the harvest part or anything.

I disagree

This has been such a great league for SSF. Now what type of goals will I have for future SSF leagues? This change reduces my build diversity to playing the same cookie-cutter builds in order to even consider doing most endgame content in SSF.
