Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

If they leave the grove as it is right now, I don't think you need that much farming to find one.
For what I could experience during this league it is something like 1 every 15-20 maps, even better if you invest your atlas points in the harvest branch (which I didn't).

that is not even close. over the last 2 weeks, i went through over 500 maps while only getting 3 harvests to spawn. one of them being the heart so that one was useless.

i'm running A8 and have my atlas ascendancy set up for harvest and farming haewark hamlet and lex proxima(i think that is the one) with zana for the extra maps which are all T16.

the current harvest mechanics are one of the most horribly put together game codes i think in the history of gaming.

yes, there are players who get lots of harvest to spawn and i've seen it while partied with other players. i've also read posts from other players that are having the same luck, or lack of luck, as me.

i would actually like to see the full grove come back as the harvest league was. with the current spawn rates, it would still be a very long process to even craft sub-par gear for players that GGG screws over with their crap coding.

GGG if u destroy harvest SO HARD why u make it only 8% chance? Make it 20-30% or more chance!

Lame. Back to gambling again, and trying to find crafted items on PS4 trade that can’t even filter down the criteria I input. Why do I even play this game anymore.....

Pointless really, because if nerfs are as hard as they appear to be, harvest is basically an “auto skip” mechanic from now on. Even with grove on every map the selection of crafts appears to make the mechanics practically negligible.

I couldn’t really care less for divines going away, my personal opinion is that they should’ve never made it into core in the first place, but the rest of the nerfs on top of the reduced actual amount of crafts (since now seeds will only have a chance to grow into craft instead of being guaranteed craft) makes Harvest crafting basically meme level. That “buff” spawn chance is meaningless if now out of 12 physical seeds for example only 4 or 5 will actually give you “random” craft, and for the most part those “random” crafts will be useless, we all know it.

Remember guys, no harmful or needlessly negative comments :)

The original post was already harmful and needlessly negative.

Since I started playing PoE, was spending each league money for supporter packs, if I will play next league which is still question mark, GGG will not see a single $ from my side ever.

Vote with your wallets, they will feel it.

Your community is not composed by only professional streamers and people who can spend more than 8hrs per day grinding. Make room for some casuals who can only spare a couple hrs to have some fun as well. We cant come up with crazy builds ourselves but at least to be able to finish the contents at our own paces is so much enjoyable. Sometimes we cant even afford the time to farm enough currencies for items.

The goal is to force those people to play MORE. To force them to play not 8 but 12 hours per day. This is why the game getting harder. They have to sacrifice most of their Youtube activities in order to keep up with the game. There is no new content from "old" streamers anymore on Youtube. They are too busy playing regular game. It's only matter of time until whole concept of "playing this game forever" will crash and burn. Just hype GGG for more of their nerfs.

You have a lot of time to not play league. The league is not for casual anymore since you need to grind to at least awakening level 4 and then once year later they added this depth of end-game grinding gear by adding new pinnacle map the invitation . However, if you just use perma league gear you can just cheese them
