Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting
" Coping with something and enjoying something are two different things. This game is basically a crafting simulator, crafting is essential to the point its currencies are the crafting materials. As for the enjoying part, Harvest is the only reason I came back to PoE so that says a lot in itself and also says what I'll be doing now once the patch drops.

"not of a mediocre player that can tune his gear just to cap this resists.
Making life harder for a guy from your case must not affect a player from mine. And again this just shows that its more of trade and tft problem that the harvest itself. " The thing is that aspect isnt even removed. Now you'll have to choose between well rolled uninfluenced rare to cap your resist (because you can still t1 life + 2t1 resist + benchcraft them easily with the options remaining) and influenced item with less raw stats but more powerful special affixes. The fix is really directed towards high end perfect craft rather than mid tier ones. The game had not harvest not so long ago (heist for exemple) and it still was fine. But what is left of harvest after the nerf they announced here are still very strong. At this point i feel like you should wait and see the consequences of those nerf before whinning to oblivious because you don't know yet the real impact they'll have for your "average" joe if such a thing exist. To vanquish without perils is to triumph without glory.

Thank you very much for doing this GGG. Harvest was a mockery of the core ideas of ARPG's.
And most of all thanks for not bending to the whiny masses that thing: easier gear = better game ugha bugha. You always know when not to cave in, and thats why your game is where it is now :) |

I honestly believed, or had hopes, they were gonna buff the Harvest, not nerf it.
As casual player that can play 1-2 hours at evening, if not too tired after work, I might find 1 or 2 groves if I get lucky. And what I get from harvesting is 99% useless reforge crafts that just irritates me a lot. Will be better off without Harvest at all than with crap Harvest. And now it will be even crappier as I understand. Good job GG. Last edited by Jinxxxed#5765 on Mar 12, 2021, 10:44:42 AM

The point is it was finally actually possible for average players to make the exact stat items they wanted, the whole fun part of the game is chasing the perfect build and equipment, their response "we don't want you to have perfect gear", why not? Don't want stuff flooding the trade market, make any harvest item account bound. What pisses people off is getting something really cool then having it taken away.

" The person you quoted also foregot that not every business purpose ito to grow and conquer the world. Some actually enjoy operating in a niche. People have too much these days a customer-centric point of view, while there are still thankfully some product-centric approaches. The best analogy I can recall was a French chef who would kick out of his restaurant any customer that would ask to remove an ingredient or add another from his signature meal. The whole point of his restaurant was not to please every customer, but to offer the product he liked and make people that enjoyed this type of meal happy. If you don't like the taste of oranges, don't ask a damn "Canard a l'orange" but without orange. Same here with PoE. It has grown almost too much, at the risk of losing its soul. |

At this point it feels like a conglomeration of issues caused by trade being so very out of the way and mechanics not being made for trading at all while they still have the possibility to be traded.
