Map drops SUCK

I see no point in playing anymore since it's impossible to progress over lvl 75 maps unless you wanna pay up 1 exalt per map.

The increased boss drop chance that got implemented whatever patches ago is a LIE and only meant to make people die by fighting already dangerous bosses with absurd map mods out of desperation and not get rewarded anyway.

I've ran many full chiseled 100%+ quantity maps and gotten nothing in return.
If by any chance you get a Volcano that's it. This map has too low pack density and you're better off selling it for more profit.

I don't see what the point was in making up to lvl 83 maps when only a small percentage of the players will get to experience them.

I'm not running any maps right now until the next patch comes out. The devs claim that they will make changes to smooth out the curve from 74-79. So take a week break from the game.

you probably paid alot of exalts for your gear and since you're unlucky with map drops from bosses you not only need to spend currency to roll maps but also to get them.
so where's the problem? getting your hands on currency? the whole game/genre is based around that problem.

and yes, map bosses rarely drop maps, at least the easy ones don't do. but it's no lie of ggg as nobody said you will have guaranteed map drops from bosses.

I see a lot of complaints about this but I seem to be doing ok. As long as I increase the quality to 20% and rare the map: I usually get at least one map drop of a similar level.

Sometimes I don't: but it seems like the exception rather the norm. Maybe I've just been getting lucky though considering the amount of people who say they never get map drops now.

Quite the opposite actually, i try to play as much self found as possible and i don't see how it's logical to unlock game content by spending absurd amounts of currency.
I have recently had a good string of luck on map drops. I did not change my strategy in running them. It was simply a change in luck.

I would chisel/alc/chaos/frag on all 74/75 maps and was barely able to sustain the map tiers. One lucky weekend and I have 10+ 77-79 maps in my stash.

Regardless of my recent good fortune, this system is not particularly enjoyable. While the thrill of a high level map drop is well and good, it does not balance out the despair of running 15 consecutive maps without getting a map of the same level or higher.

Dont play any high maps until the patch next week. Perfect time to reroll, or take a pause.
