Development Manifesto: Harvest Crafting

How about a thought experiment.

Let's say that for one league GGG increased the godly good drops by 300% and the chaos, alchemy, exalt, mirror, divine, and blessed orbs drops by 300%. This would be SUPER simple for GGG to make such a change. I think that folks would be thrilled and very happy. If that was a long term change though PoE would become less challenging and fun.

I have been playing the game for 6 years and haven’t used exalt at all.

Since out of a thousand possible stats, which also have 10 tiers, I know that it is simply not realistic to get the result I need.

Harvest breathed life into my gameplay, I have never experienced such wonderful feelings, the very fact of realizing that you potentially have the ability to craft an item that is not ideal, but a good and necessary one for you, (which is not so cheap, and still requires dozens of exalts), filled my gameplay with meaning.



Without Harvest mechanic, I simply won't be able to play this game anymore.

Heist was a terrible league in which any slag was not worth a fair lot of money, I had no opportunity to bring my character to the game, so I played Heist for 3 weeks and went offline. While in Harvest and in Ritual league, I still play, and I intend to play all 3 months, because now I have a goal and the opportunity to implement it.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Never be sorry for your English. Speaking a foreign language is not something everyone does.

Someone already debunked you, but just to point out how you're already making excuses if Ritual retention numbers are positive: "it's because of the expansion, and the expansion alone because reasons".
