Can Zana open this map as a quest?

Can we kindly get a teaser list of what's worth from the unique chest at the end of this map? That'd interest a lot of people, as at the moment it's a 69 map - dissuasive as we know excellent loot only drop in 70+ map. Good reason to test out PVP builds and survivability but puts people off if the loot of accomplishing the map drops uninteresting ones. We don't want the player base to look at this map as another typical junkie, it can get better than that. Share some light here please. o(^▽^)o

I'm glad the map will drop frequently enough so that lots of players will be able to try it.

I'd echo a previous question in tbe thread:

Do players get 1 vaal soul every five seconds, or how do they get souls to use their Vaal skills?

Sounds good, but how will you handle it when future patches could potentially make the existing grandmaster builds obsolete or less effective?

The Grandmaster build will become legacy. However, if we make changes to a skill this will change the skill being used by the Grandmaster. Items and passives are legacy. Skills are not.

- Since Grandmasters can repeatedly cast vaal skills, will players be given the same ability to cast them? There aren't many ways to gain vaal souls in the map for players.

- Will Grandmaster names be able to have spaces in them? Is it possible to make it such that _ in Grandmaster names get automatically changed to spaces?


Players will gain Vaal Souls 1:1 for each Grandmaster killed. Character names will appear in the map as they were submitted.

Strong boxes and rogue exiles can't pop up in the map, but can shrines?

No.

Will the Grandmaster's Cache(s) strongboxes at the end of the halls be guarded by more Grandmasters (i.e. 3 packs of monsters), or will they just open when you click them?

The Grandmaster's Cache won't spawn monsters.

Oh the other hand, if every enemy in the map is a unique, and every chest is a unique, then every item will be level 71.
FYI: It's not a fantasy story, it's a cosmic horror story.

So Vaal skills are pretty worthless for this map then since many Vaal skills require more souls than is possible to gain throughout the entire map.
Interesting info. Thanks Bex!

Names as submitted, ie: the character in-game names? Guess no spaces then. Ok will need to think of something that doesn't look silly with underscores like "The_Bringer_of_Rain"

I wonder what vaal skill you are talking about.. Each door in the hallway will have FIFTY grandmasters, and it is multiple doors

The map is one instance as well. That means it's up to 150 Vaal Souls available and there will be more as we add halls.
