Development Manifesto - Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting - Forum

Honestly even after sitting back and re-evaluating this decision I still think it's a terrible move. I had time today to play and I couldn't even find the will play. Did maybe 2 or 3 maps and stopped. I would actually like to see the statistics on the amount of mirror tier items and who crafted them. Cause I'd bet that its the same few people that are always at the top. I honestly do not think I would be anywhere close to where I got this league if it wasn't for being able to craft my own gear with harvest (and the motivation/excitement of finding a harvest and attempting to craft something good). I think I probably would have stopped after a week or so and not even gotten a full conq rotation.	Posted by Wreakorofhavoc#1062 on Mar 10, 2021, 9:14:32 PM Quote this Post

This game is about randomness and the chase, not following crafting recipes like you're throwing frog guts into a cauldron. And people will still find the highest probability methods for targeting each important mod in each slot, not much will change except that it'll take longer before we end up with maxed out BIS gear, which is good because that was what made me stop playing. Not running out of characters to make, or challenges to complete... but running out of gear to try to make after like 5 weeks is what led to me finally not logging in for the first day since league start. where is your so called printed gear i dont see a single character with mirror gear inn league.

Guys .. if you can't take the bar and it doesn't match what you want for the game ... remove. we have already lived dozens of Seasons without Harvest and one of them right after the Season itself ... You don't need to prove to us that you can implement this mechanic in the game. Move on...	Posted by lobodoagreste#2791 on Mar 10, 2021, 9:15:44 PM Quote this Post
At least you posted the destruction of Harvest in advance of the next league launch, going by your established deceitful and spiteful nature i'd have, based on past actions, expected the harvest destruction as part of the nerf notes, giving only a few days notice before launch. Anyways... I just got 5 guys from work interested in signing up for next month with the new league. 3 had played before but said the game was shit but i swore to them that it had got better, Now I am going to have to tell them they were right and to not bother with next month. THANKFULLY they had not got their supporter packs and stash tabs. Its sad that 200, 300? of the top 1% players got to dupe, split and print 6 link white bases and then had fun crafting hundreds or thousands of god tier items, only to have forever ruined the game for the rest of us.

GGG nerf's things that gives non hardcore gamers fun in the game. I havent fully learned how to harvest craft but now GGG wants to nerf it because people outside of the 1% elite get to create good items.	Posted by Sodapapi#6879 on Mar 10, 2021, 9:16:19 PM Banned Quote this Post
Anybody who thinks getting perfect rare items is 'easy' is deluded. With or without TFT it still takes many many crafts and loads of currency/time to make truly special items.[Removed by Support] Unless they are adding some secret new deterministic crafting in 3.14 [Removed by Support]. The number of anti-sense and anti-player things they have done and continue to do be it trade, monster damage, bugs etc. has been increasing steadily for some time now and this is just the final straw. TL;DR - Fun detected. [Removed by Support] Last edited by Will_GGG#0000 on Mar 10, 2021, 9:26:13 PM	Posted by MeWhenum#4498 on Mar 10, 2021, 9:16:42 PM Quote this Post
I probably do agree that making perfect, top-tier items shouldn't be something that Harvest can do. This means the loss of the type-specific divine crafting is in the right direction. You want to maintain the controversial status-quo of RNG crafting with exalts and company for the perfect top-tier items. That is fine, do that. Just don't remove any other crafting options from Harvest, limit the results. You don't want influenced mods to be rolled with Harvest, beyond the intended craft? Remove them from the possible pool. You don't want top-tier mods to be deterministically crafted onto the item? Remove them from the possible pool. The goal is controlled improvement of existing items, not for it to the sole path to end-game items. It would also be a tool that other crafting options would use to fix a mistake or finish off an item with acceptable, but not top-tier, mods.

I read your manifesto Chris, and I call all your responses to justify the destruction bullshit. You obviously lost touch with this game along time ago, the biggest problem with poe now, is you.

I suggest that Chaos/exalted orbs comes with iLvL from the area they are found. This way people can use them while leveling. 24.1.2018 [quote="Dro28"]wheres my fragment tab?[/quote] (I thought that was a joke) 25.1.2018: GGG- Introducing the Fragment Stash Tab!
