GGG says''what are u doing here solo players''

Damn I find 20+ 75,76 maps a day running maps 74-75. most with only two mods.

I got a lvl 80 map in a lvl 76 map, game is fine.

While that is true about the map, I am kidding about game is fine because of it, but all I can say is sometimes 8 maps drop nothing, then a map will drop 8 +1 maps, keep at it, your golden map is just around the bend, or at least that is my mantra.

Getting to level 96. To answer your title.

Hopefully 2.0.2 will fix this. Until then, alc EVERY SINGLE MAP and chisel 74+ if you like. If you're having trouble getting a base of 73 maps then IDK what to tell you. I just ran a few white Bogs (72) and got three 73s from one.

Oh and IMO since GGG has announced a change to mid-map drop rates for the next patch, there is no reason to run 75+ maps at all until that patch is released. Save them for when the drop rate is (hopefully) changed.

i can sustain 73-75 maps with just alchemy orbs... not even using chisels.

this seems like an exaggeration or a lie to me.

Yha i can do this as well , with like 95 % solo play . IDK whare all this map hate is comeing from . I will admit that getting higher maps than 75 is more difficult this patch, but IMO it's not much of a problem.

Also why do people insist on getting + 2 maps on evrey run ? . Roll majic mobs on map with decent % get a few + 1's , then only move up map tier when you have a base of 10-20 ish maps to fall back on at that level . what's the problem hear?

I think it's a case of the emporers new cloths

just ran a lvl 77 map with 146% iiq, 27 rare monsters and 29 magic monsters, pack size was 25% iirc. not one map drop, not a single one. i have been trying to get high lvl maps to push through the 90's but its impossible. ive been stuck on 93->94 since 2.0 hit. zero deaths. i simply cant get maps that give enough xp. pre 2.0 i farmed lvl 76 maps exclusively, now i get a lvl 76 maybe once a day. if their intention was to make it impossible to get to lvl 100, well played. I still love the game but i dont see why the map drop rate needed to be fixed, no one is going to grind act 4 lvl 70 map to hit lvl 100, and if they do make sure you give them the meds they need for their ocd.

I've been able to sustain 74-75 for a little now, use lots of chisels and alch of course. Above 75 though is pretty rare. I however did find a Death and Taxes map and the boss dropped TWO level 79 maps and a 76, blew my mind.

The map system is f**ked up tbh. GGG was trying to stop the 1% top players to break the game. However, the only results after all their work is making the top 1% player even stronger. Look at Warbands, there is a group of people have 12 mirror and more than 300 80+ maps atm.

Currency and map drop nerf doesnt affect much peoople who play in premade group or solo nolife. It does that to casual and average player which are most game population and income $ for GGG

I am soloing every map aswell. So far I was able to sustain a 75-77 map pool with occasional 78s, also had one 79 and one 80 so far.
However the currency investment is quite high just so that i can sustain my maps and thus my XP. Vaal orbs became pretty huge as far as rolling maps is concerned.
The problem is, that any dedicated mapping group can get the XP I get faster and way cheaper than me, just because they can share the costs and the risk of dieing is very low in parties of 3-4 players. I think there needs to be some balancing other than just raising the hp of mobs, because that just gets outweighted by one party-player doing a specialised double/triple curse build and thus trivializing all the hard content.
Not to mention monster AI makes it so that the damage dealt to a party almost always gets divided on all the members, because monster never focus on something. Party play is simply safer and cheaper without any disadvantage.
