Cant play, no maps

Atlas at first is certainly a struggle, but once you fill out the majority, 110%+, you really feel the boosts to you map pool overall.

Ggg should probably reconsider the no +2 before you have cleared two maps ahead thing, and also do something to make filling out unexplored areas of the Atlas easier. It can be frustrating getting map drops in areas you have fully unlocked while trying to fill out a new sector of the Atlas.

On top of that, have they done something to exalt droprates? I'm at lvl 94 and have gotten 0 exalts. Normally it's around 3-5 at this point. That's just f**king mentally challenged, fun game.

Logic, not even once.

Fixed your typo.

This is exactly right. Problem is people have got no patience.

Because god forbid you want to progress through the endgame map system on your own and not be forced to trade with people to do it.

This isn't uncommon. RNG is RNG, and with something like Exalts that have a really low drop-rate, shit happens. Last league I played 7 or 8 characters to high 80s at least, and probably only got 5 exalt drops. This league I've only had 2. Perandus, I had over 10 drops. It is all random.

Just checking - what is the obvious and simple task to get access to Uber Atziri? Maybe 4, 5 times in a row cause I might not succeed on my first try, or might want to re-run it because it was fun.

atziri is ez to access, just gather the sac's. you can do it by, doing corrupted maps, finding vaal areas, doing prophecies that spawn vaal areas. putting sac fragments in map device to run it for a chance to get another sac piece you need.

FOr shaper is a bit harder, cause first you have to get though the gated content known as Atlas of Worlds unless you play std ( than you can run t15 legacy maps and have the paths open with 4 runs). But in most cases you need to run your t11 100 times to get maybe 10 t12 maps. you than need to run these 10 t12 for a chance of 1 t13 map. Once you run that you need to buy all the missing t12 and t13 maps to unlock them on atlas.
Now its straight forward.
As you should have no red maps now, you need to run your t10 maps untill you run out to get few t11 so you can run these, once you do you should have at least 2-3 red maps that you can run and gather currency to buy t14's cause they never drop for you. Afterwards its just a quick hop to poe.trade for t15's and you are all set to buy your guardians maps, as your red pool map is non existent. And there you have it, you get the keys that way and jst go in kill the shaper as pathfinder low life blade vortex

The problem for me at present is to progress reasonably fast you need to buy maps, the number of people not responding to 1 chisel buyouts for lower tier maps is ridiculous. I just gave up after a while and went back to standard.
Personally i wish that maps weren't gated at all, but perhaps had to be run rare to provide some challenge. The current system just pushed sustaining up a couple of tiers didn't change much aside from that.

I doubt running three legacy T15 maps in Standard opened up most of the atlas. Most probably 60% or so complete with those runs.

I ran a few legacy T12 maps which opened up each corner of the atlas and only ended up at around 30/125. Had to buy every other map (didn't want to grind and hope for the right maps to drop) and I'm currently at 97/125 with just T13+ and a couple unique maps left to do. That's over 60 maps bought and whilst running those I only got a map that I didn't unlock yet once. 1/60...

the beauty of std is that runing legacy map let you skip most of the boring atlas content and just open the path to true end game maps, that most people do want to do
