Extremely true. For every hundred people declaring the moderate nerf to harvest as its absolute death and the associated death of poe, I would be surprised if more than one actually abstains from the next league.

That way you at least get whatever "good" new stuff is coming down the pipe to soften the blow. I guess the hope of saying it now is that the outrage will have enough time to die down before next league start? Maybe they thought reddit would be more understanding (lol) if they isolated the news and tried to be as transparent as possible with their intentions.

I am assuming they wanted to do this now so it wouldn't overshadow their new league marketing, the hope being that the community will get over this by the time the previews start. I know reddit has a short memory but this nerf really hits the POE "middle class" hard so who knows.

I'm personally and individually responsible for every change they're making to harvest. I did it to cater to the top 1% of players on reddit who all love me for it. I'll never change it back.

I for one, hope everyone claiming they're not going to play the next league follow through with their threats, at least for the first couple days so the league launch isn't fucky

Yep Bameth does that, and as far as I know 2 of them are possible.

All the beyond mobs use graphics from the beta and thus GGG is removing beyond from the game. There's no other solution.

Removing Beyond only makes sense if they make Shivershell show up 10% of the time. Gotta keep those random "gently caress You" Vaal Detonate Dead rips in the game somehow.

Because it's rare and a challenge. It's ludicrously easy, Nashta is way harder.

It's two fat dudes in a basement who do very little damage. Just keep moving and make sure to kill them about the same rate or the surviving one gets a stupid damage reduction buff and the fight will take forever.

e. also revenge for Hana, you fuckers. Sirus nukes Oriath I don't give a poo poo, but touch Hana and you're dead.

Because the mass production of 6w astral/regalia completeley invalidates any other 6link out there. It's supposed to be a super endgame item, not something you grab for a fiver once you hit maps.

This is what's so unsettling with that manifesto IMO. I don't care as much about harvest as about why this was posted now.
If it was so bizarre that it doesn't fit into their vision of the game they could have "fixed" this in first month of the league. They fixed beast splitting bug in a day. They had (supposedly) all the data tracked, many people already dropped the league but indeed played a lot longer than before - retention was good. If it's not so drastic in their game book then why post it now? Why didn't they post it as usual, a few days before new league? It's so out of their MO it's jarring and raises questions.

Because when the next league manifesto is released most people will have forgotten or accepted the harvest changes and they will only have the usual complaints about nerfs instead of nerfs+harvest nerfs.

They're also giving some warning to standard crafters so they don't get blindsided.

And yeah, announcing it now gives the redditors time to calm down from "sending bomb threats" to "wanting to play the next league". It's not the sort of unexpected degneracy that gets something nerfed mid-league though.

I didn't play right at league start, I started about a week in, and by the time I finished the campaign I could buy a 6WL Astral Plate with the c I made leveling up:



I pick a 10% conversion helm for 1c, a timeless jewel, and then ask someone for a Sirus to brick and it turns out he can't really kill me.

https://i.imgur.com/cIuDeTW.mp4

I'm not expert in this game, or really anything, but as I look at that 10c chest I bought and think I'm pretty sure that poo poo would have cost me a great many ex in previous leagues, and while browsing the endless sea of 6WL Astral Plates I found out that that item was like, garbage comparatively. One which I could still just pass to my second character as inheritance and the sockets don't matter. I'm not even sure I could buy an uncorrupted 6WL Astral Plate base for 10c before, and now that I think about it I'm wondering if I could even buy an uncorrupted non-unique high level 6L Armor at all for that price. Probably? I have no idea, but all I saw was an endless ocean of 6WL basically for free.
