Map drops are horrible this league

I play PoE for several years now and had a lot of fun. Espacially Incursion was really nice for me.

While I enjoy delving the rest of the end game seems to be a total drag this league. After playing many leagues with success I think I know how to go about filling the atlas but even with alched AND chiseled maps I cant go beyond t7 without just buying maps. It is not uncommon for me this league to clear 3-5 maps without getting a single one in return. And if one happens to drop its an average of 3-4 tiers below the one im playing.

Dont know if I am the unluckiest player in poe this time or if there is a bug or whatever but its not really fun to run around t6 maps with level 90...

Agreed. Never experienced anything like this, neither has the mates I game with.
Got around 20 T5-7 maps. Alching them all, but there are hardly any maps dropping at all, and now I've run out!
Sustaining maps is essential for a leveling and an overall good engame experience. If this keeps up, I might just quit the league.

Well I don't seems to have this problem here, I've been doing a lot of Delve exploration and got some good drop there too I don't do as much mapping as I was doing before so I'm not running out of anything so far.

I have bought maybe 20 maps total and now have 20+ red ones in my stash waiting for me.

I think this league is fastest for me with 100+ atlas completion. It took maybe 3 days.

That said I still do not get as many t13+s as I would like to see. Delves help bit, got my only t15 so far from one.

You’d think after people saying this exact same thing word for word every league for the past 4 years, people would figure out that rng is involved in map drops. Sometimes you’re on one side of the curve and other times you’re on the other side of it.

this league maps haven't been easier, except maybe harbinger, but harby orbs and orbs of horizons etc are all back anyway.

but do delve. you can get map drops in delve. only issue is you really have to grind to get mobs the same lvl as your maps, but its worth it.
once you hit around lvl 200 you get maps like mad cakes. its actually fucking retarded.

t16 guardians will be worth like 10 chaos within a couple weeks.

Oh good it's not just me. Map drop rates are so BAD!!!!! I think I am done this league.

I have already cleared all white maps. And I am still having to buy yellow maps. Only to run out very fast be stuck with Tier:4 as my highest. I have already bought and run a few tier:12's. But holly hell is running Tier:4 at level 90 fucking boring as hell.

And doing delve's doesn't help I have only had one map node so far. And that was when I was around delve lvl 85sh. so I only got like level 3 maps. Game is fucking lame this league.

It's because maps in this league are the same as standard maps. The mechanic is completely separated from the map itself, so you don't have the bonus mobs from previous leagues to boost overall map drops.

While the Delves themselves become very rewarding I would totally agree that mapping this league feels like crap. It feels very similar to early Beastiary in that respect and I didn't last long in that league either.

While Atlas progression is vastly speed up with the new Zana updates, the map drop however feels abyssal... abysmal (?) bad to me. Thanks to Zana mission spawn, yesterday I got a lot of high tier red maps from HER missions.

And today I ran out of red maps. Chisel, fragments, sextant.... Still ran out. Shitty low tier white map keep dropping instead.

I'm frustrated tbh. I don't like to buy maps. Just have no other choice but to back to yellow map again for now.

Delve dron't drop maps which is another big problem.
Yes yes it does drop... ONCE A DAY... low tier one at that.

Rng is a factor but the difference is massive. Last league I finished with almost 1000 red maps. This league I cant sustain yellow. Thats retarded.

If maps supposedely drop more frequent in deeper delves I still have the same Problem. If I need to get to delve level 300 before I can start thinking about endgame and I get about 60 to 70 sulfite from each t5 map. I have to grind more or less 600 maps before I start enjoying the content..... What kind of mechanic is this? If I need 2 minutes per map (which is fast for an avarage) I need 200 hours of grinding before red maps o.O
