About to stop playing PoE - maps drop rates are very disappointing
Obviously some people like the RNG access/progression, other people don't, I'm one of them.
A simple question, how many people do you think would put up with the map system progression if it was applied from the start of the game? If you can imagine that a fair amount of people wouldn't really appreciate it there, why would they care for it anywhere? Because it defines how I access content and progress, I simply don't care for it, random is nice, just not for this. |

Which is why I advocate for lowest lvl map being purchasable from vendor for alch or chaos.

But I always have maps, I just don't care for using them.

" Not a bad idea. It would help out the people who run out of maps but it wouldn't be a requirement to buy them since you can still find them. I think I like it. Standard Forever

" People wouldn't since it doesn't make much sense. I think it at least makes some sense the way it is because you first finish the game and then you find the maps as extra end game content. I personally don't really get the complaints because even if I did run out of maps and the devs didn't implement Slayers above suggestion....people are always selling maps in global for about an alch a piece so its not like anyone is really locked out of the content.

" The price would need to be quite exorbitant, to ensure that the relevant areas are still farmed for map drops. Being able to buy maps would be kind of a secondary option. If you farm the area for a really long time and get no maps, you should have acquired enough currency by then to buy one. Last edited by Imbalanxd#0300 on Dec 24, 2012, 3:57:28 AM

I don't think the cost would need to be higher than 1 chaos for a lvl 60 map. I sure wouldn't want to spend that chaos. I would rather find the map myself.

Why would the price need to be high? Lvl 60-63 maps are easy to get. Considering it would take a GCP "3 chaos" to vendor three for a 61. It's not worth it. Let alone higher lvl maps....

" To expand on this, the act 2 boss should always drop a lvl 60 map. Lvl 60 maps are the basic place to enter endgame, it shouldnt be a chore to get a lvl 60 map in case you run out of maps during the first few hours of endgame content. Getting to the act 2 boss on merciless isnt trivial and killing him isnt that easy either, he definitely isnt a pushover you can just roflstomp without being careful. Give the players more options to get basic lvl 60 maps. Adding more options to get basic lvl 60 maps wouldnt affect higher lvl map droprate at all.

I'm a bit confused here, a lot of this discussion seems to be about people still struggling for/wanting lvl 60 maps. Are people still running out of lvl 60 maps?
