Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

lets be honest here, its a gentleman move by chris. Blizzard pass over lots of their playerbase by the immortal desaster and now, chris the gentleman that he is, gives it all back in the possible D4 release year. its crazy how fast u moved from the voice of the playerbase to 100% disconnected from it. i guess the epic quote from that blizzcon youtube video still stayed until today: no king rules forever. you had a good run it was nice to be part of it, thx for all the good memorys and see you all in D4.

"

This sentiment was summed up by a member of our design team who recently said "We don't want to take away the feeling of closing your eyes and Exalting an item, scared to see whether you ruined it or not."

Chris likes exalt-slamming the actual GAME to see whether he's ruined it or not.

Bad roll, Chris! You got T10 Mana on this one.

So harvest is just crappy fossil crafting now?

I am really sad to hear about this change. I was expecting harvest to get some nerf to be balanced and still enjoyable but I do not personally think that going back to the old ways is the right choice.

I have been playing POE for a while now, never really bothered with crafting, didn't like it at all. Then you gave us Harvest, for the first time I was enjoying a part of the game that I didn't want to bother with before.

My hope after playing Harvest was to get more control over what I want to craft and how I craft it. Unfortunately that hope is long gone, as you stated you want more gambling and less control.

I don't enjoy gambling and don't want to keep supporting it. I have been supporting you for a while now and I hope to support you for a long time in the future, but I can't support games I don't enjoy and I am not sure I will enjoy going back to spamming my exalts with my eyes closed.

I really love what you did with Ritual and hope that you consider people like me that work 40-60 hours a week and take time to come and enjoy your products with their free time.

Have a nice day everyone and take care of yourselves.

And again, the nerf was already solid to prevent any god tier craft for the pleb...
Now it will be better to just skip it, while the pro will keep on crafting Tier S item with it and fossils/inprint/etc...

Well all Standard Harvest crafted gear (and harvest gear from league eventually coming to it) is now going to sky rocket in price after patch drops.

More ways to break economy is always nice, good job GGG :)

Ok but nobody cares about the standard economy, it's literally a graveyard for league characters and items

Some players play in your so called graveyard !! Not every player has the time to do all the game content in 3 month, and will probably won't make it after harvest being nuked !!

Yeah and d4 doesnt have overpriced mtx people have to use to not look like a clown. GGG price for mtx is the same as a new game.

Cool, in an effort to stop the tryhards from breaking your game you've neutered the only crafting method the rest of us had to make anything *good*

"Players also expressed frustration that the most effective way to get the best items in Path of Exile was to join a discord channel and try to trade for these incredibly crucial crafts." xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

-Players expressing their frustration about Harvest.--> 1%
-Players who incredibly enjoy this Harvest craft system.--> 99%

As Matthew has said, this shows how little GGG listens its community.

Absolutely worse - again, more nerfs that support the 1%. I do not think you understand how people play your game.

The community said BIND HARVEST CRAFTED GEAR, like, everyone. And what do you do? You absolutely kill crafting. Eff!

No one crafts with exalts unless they are trying to record a troll video to show how a 30 chaos boot takes 250 exalt to make. You just don't get it. Just... wow...
