What's with the bandwagon hate on shaped maps and sextants?

I don't understand why you keep jumping ship. You stated that a shaped map gets more loot and more maps return. Now instead of just admitting you are wrong you spin it in a different direction and involve layouts. Some layouts are worse then others, gg. I mean, was that the point? Because I think we got this mr. obvious.

Again shaped maps don't magically get better loot drops or map drops. <<<<< FAIRYTALE.

Stop spouting bullshit, i never stated such a thing.

And your calling my reading comprehension terrible? Go re-read what i typed.

Pull that stuff again and i'm reporting you. I don't need nobody putting words in my mouth to discredit me based on false air.

Peace,

Go read the code of conduct before making false claims and "pulling punches" based on those false claims.
It makes you look dumb and makes me itch to just press report and get this trolling off general discussion.

Remove sextant blocking.
Remove packsize sextant mods.
Add part of the sextant packsize to maps baseline.
Obliterate vaults density. It shouldn't have the best div cards, a linear layout and a faceroll boss. Even spider forest in Harby wasn't as bad cause the layout sucked.

Make map mods have some legitimate variation (e.g. mods vary from 5-20% quant and 4-10% packsize). Rippy cancer like -max res or mob damage should give much more. Curses middling since a warding flask removes them. Joke mods like 'has humanoids' are barely worthy of 5% quantity.

You think Vault has good density without sextants? Because it doesn't. Also the boss is not as faceroll. Probably one of the harder t9 bosses. His slam hits for well over 5k easily.

I don't understand this attitude at all. If this would be implemented we would go back to the stoneage where people exalt maps to desperately get them to drop. Nobody would use sextants any longer. And last a good layout map gets destroyed.

Shouldn't we think the other way, and make less desirable maps be improved?

I don't get it either. In fact I don't get anything apparently. I just log in, start playing, having a good old time, and then log out and do some other stuff......profit.

I'm a big fan of shaped maps. And also a big fan of sextants. They are probably my favorite item added to PoE in the last few years. They have been a great endgame item since they were introduced. So why the hate all of a sudden?

A common complain is that full time traders/flippers have such an advantage over people that kill and loot. With sextants you can finally kill and loot and not feel like it's a waste of time vs flippers/traders.

And shaped maps, this one really baffles me. I agree we could use some minor adjustments on the atlas but you can choose and pick your favorite map and run it till the end of times. Or when you are the diversity type you can go and complete the whole atlas and enjoy all kinds of maps but in lower quantities.

All I see is choice. I guess there will never be a moment everyone will be happy.

Oh I dunno it's fucking stupid? Like really?

Lets see Sextants feel mandatory understand? Finishing your entire atlas is stupid like legit stupid if you wanna do efficient 100% more exp etc

Well also use a factor in this reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/7obcy3/baked_gives_his_thoughts_about_not_going_shaped/

Shaped maps / Sextants are fucking stupid and they need to get the fuck out of the game or be less mandatory

Whatever the case is it's so stupid it's not even funny. Hell your thread pisses me off because you're so fucking oblivious to the situation that's the worst part about it.


In short those who finish their atlas gets more punished then the ones who are doing the whole sextant / shaped strat that should not be the case at all understand that? 100% Sure they're likely to change this in the next patch.
