Map Drop Rate Is Shocking

I don't know exact numbers but i feel that map drop rate INSIDE maps is fixed in that way that on average you should always end up with a surplus of maps.

Let me tell you, it is not :P

Well, its been for me.

I had the exact same problem in closed beta. Dread Thicket or Maps. If maps didnt drop for me, I was stuck playing content 15 levels beneath me.

There were week long periods where I would log in, play for about 30 minutes, get bored, and log off because the game had no interesting content to offer me. That would be my PoE play for the day.


The devs tend to be pretty tight lipped about this issue. They dont comment on map concerns in regards to players getting screwed out of content based on whether the RNG is nice to them or not.

Well, I hope they comment on it soon. This will become a bigger and bigger issue as more OB players get to 70+ for the first time and realize we can't participate in end game content due to being unlucky. Lvl 70 now and I have only ever seen a single map drop for someone else.

DEVS ADDRESS THIS NOW!

The devs have addressed this before. It basically boils down to this, if you are not getting enough maps one of two things are happening, 1. You are incredibly unlucky, or 2. You need to play harder maps.

Finding maps seemed easy in CB guess they did some major nerfing to map drop rates for OB then?

from 64 till 72 farming docks all they and havent yet seen how the map looks like, so yea...

A question I have: what gripe does everyone have against the catacombs? It's level 66. You're guaranteed a room with 2-3 elite packs, and you have about a 50% chance for a large chest at the end. Necros aren't very high density in there, either. Why not farm catacombs? Extra magic mobs = more map drops.

Catacombs are only 63 and way slower to farm so one level ahead of docks is not worth it

maybe the problem comes with 24/7 docks
