Horizon Orbs are useless now?

Maps can only roll at their drop level, so if you you have a level 10 map and only 3 maps appear on the Atlas at level 10, then, no matter what, you will always get one of those three level 10 maps if you Horizon a level 10 map.

Just decided to use them and news will be definitely old. Information in quotes I believe is incorrect. Orb of Horizon rerolls map to the same tier only from that pool of maps that are originally first appearing in that tier even if you remove all your watch stones - drop level on your atlas does not matter.

So if you use OoH on Tier 16 Waterways it will roll it only into Carcass, Promenade or Summit Maps as those maps are original T16.

So I believe this item works as intended.
Original map tiers are listed at the bottom on this page:

It's amazing the extent some of y'all go to try and white-knight and go "game's working just aces everyone!" (yes, including thread necromancy, as I see)

When, y'know, We have GGG posts to look at:

Recent problems:
  • Orb of Horizon and Harbinger Orbs can only reroll maps into specific maps.


Kieren's post was updated back in February, and indicates that they figured out it was a bug well after the last post on this thread. No clue on when we'll get a fix, but it's clear that we're going a full league with them being bugged.

They are awesome - i can chain promenade/summit/carcass instead of running trash layouts like gardens.
Great. Really not mentioned in the patch note, but

Burial Chambers has moved to Tier 7, specifically so there isn't one lonely little Tier 7 map.

No i am not willing to take that bet. The vall orb bug has been persistent since abyss league, where you vaal a red map and get a white map in return from the +1 effect.

This horizon orb mechanic is here to stay.


that was a thing? i mean, vaal orbs corrupt and change something unpredictably... :>
It was a bug primarily on shaped map

say, T6 shaped map , became T2 map instead of T7 as the natural tier of the map was T1

I forgot when they actually fix it

I skipped metamorph and just started playing again. I had to relearn the whole atlas change (which without asking for help was pretty damn stupid), then come to find out that they didn't upgrade Orb of Horizons mechanics to fit the new atlas.

Feels pretty bad as I'm a player that really only enjoys a handful of maps and OoH felt nice to use on maps I don't enjoy running in the hopes I get a map I like.

Yeah, that's quite telling that GGG didn't fix it, but simply removed it from the "known issues" list.

Basically, sticking their heads in the sand and going "nope, we refuse to acknowledge that there's this bug/issue."
