Will Harvest Become Core Path Of Exile Content? Will Bloom Be Adjusted?

Aug 18, 2020

There are several weeks left in Harvest which means things are starting getting closer to the launch of Path of Exile 3.12 expansion in September. In the meantime, you may be wondering what the future of Harvest looks like. 

In short, Harvest will not immediately become a core gameplay mechanic but may be reintroduced in the future.

When the developers designed Harvest, they wanted to experiment with a more deterministic crafting system that would enable players to access powerful items earlier in their character progression. However, at the top end of gameplay, Harvest has made it too easy to gain very powerful items that previously required a lot more work and investment to acquire. This was acceptable for a temporary challenge league but poses problems for the long-term health of Path of Exile's item economy if allowed to remain in its current state.

As such, Harvest would require a significant amount of rebalancing in order to achieve a healthy level of power for the core game. They would be reassessing the crafting mechanics.

Along with these issues, Grinding Gear Games states that the core mechanic in Harvest would create database issues with respect to the amount of data being stored which they say is a "non-trivial technical problem.”

Another topic that players are talking about is Bloom. After further investigation and testing, the team decided to include some improvements to the bloom technology in this update. They expect this patch to go live on PC later today. 

                       · Bloom is now applied after Exposure, resulting in a game-wide reduction of bloom's intensity, especially in dark areas.

                       · Added a Bloom slider in the Graphics Options, allowing you to adjust the intensity of bloom effects from 25% to 130% of their base intensity.

                     

The reason why Path of Exile has a large number of fans is not only because of the game itself but more importantly, the developers have been listening to players' suggestions and constantly optimizing the game. They want to bring players the best gaming experience. We have always believed that Path of Exile 3.12 will surprise players. But in just a few weeks, players should try their best to experience Harvest. If you encounter difficulties during the quests, the most convenient way is to use POE Currency to solve it.
