Yet Another Map drop Rant

So I wasted a LOT of chaos for 2 runs

So 32 per Shrine map 8c spent rolling them for high iq plus 8 chisels plus 20 more chaos for domination
And what did I get?


1 item sellable for 3c
1 chaos orb
1 tier 11 map
1 tier 3 map

Yep map drops are good.

So, you make 2 runs and you complain?

Is a joke, right?

Ok, I will follow your logic... I made a Gorge run. I don't spend anything in re-roll, just the alch and 4 chisels. This is the drop, and is really fine:

Doesn't look like you like grinding at all, maybe Reward-Me-For-Nothing Gear Games should be in your petition.

NO I have done hundreds of runs but haven't been able to bump up tiers even with spending shit tons of currency rolling maps. So i figured id give it a whirl and buy some higher tiered maps to try and get into the next bracket, While 100 chaos isn't that hard to farm it does SUCK to spend that much and get nothing in return. Trying to get past tier 10 maps is kind of like banging your head into a brickwall. You run some 9's and bam 5-7 maps drop per run you get the 10's and 11's and 1-2 drop one of which is always something like t5 and below and you may get an even or maybe even a +1. What I didn't include in the original was these were the 12th and 13th map I did during that session of t10+s that the bosses didn't drop a single map, even though at least 4 of them were twined and a couple were also vaaled.
And yes I understand fully how RNG works and one of these times ill drop 5 t15's off it just like a guildmate who was running 14's in std at the same time and got 15 12+'s from similarly rolled shrines. 5 of which were 15's and a handful of 14's and 13's. RNG gating is crap and makes this game frustrating when it should be Fun. The name of the company is GRINDING Gear Games but it should be changed to RANDOM AS HELL gear games because there is no amount of grinding that will change it its just dumb luck if you get stuff or not. I am also somewhere around 12-13k chance orbs used and still haven't made a single unique.

Make it harder to gate content not a lottery.

What is your purpose? Lvl 100? You do not need high-level maps to reach 100... On the other hand it has been said over and over that the final Tiers are unsustainable. I spend all day running maps tier 3-11 and even some visits to Dried Lake, everything with my character level 95. And what is the problem? There is no problem...

i don't know if you can even grasp why ppl make such threads.
you seem to play standard only. there is no time pressure. you most likely have VERY good gear.

most ppl who rant/complain are guys who play temp-leagues.
do you know how much time do you need to invest to even get anywhere?
and then there is that map rng that keeps fucking you over and over again and you know there are only 2 weeks left and you want that tier12+ so bad but no matter what you do you just wont get there while you may have friends that don't do anything extra and just keep bathing in this maps.

i'm still struggling to keep a tier8 pool (down to 4 again) while a friend of mine who played less than me is playing tier11+ for weeks now.

i've dropped 2 tier 11 maps so far and i played all league.

also temp leagues have challenges you might want to do. some require you to at least drop a FEW of those T12+ maps. but this is PURELY RNG ... like the game just says "fuck you".

THAT is the problem ppl complain.

i could play 12+ hours (i can't) a day for the next 12 days and most probably still not see a T12 map. because throughout the whole league my map drop luck was near zero i there is no guarantee that wil change in the near future.
(again: in standard i wouldn't care so much. but this league ends and i want things to get done)

So you think the game is saying that to you even though it's this late into the league?

i don't know if i understand what you want to say.

but the last 3 maps i played (9,9,8) gave exactly 0 maps in return. not even a single T1.

yes, this is a bad streak. problem is i don't have good streaks.
just average (i guess) which lets me play T9 maps occasionally.
now i'm down to 3 T8 and 3 T9.

and all those maps had packsize +strongboxes/shrines in them. i even backtracked the last monster and checked if i flipped every stone and opened every chest. activated every stone statue etc.

then on the other hand i played a malformation yesterday and just rolled it magic with -max resists and 30 quantity. gave me 3 T9 in return.
while those 50+ high rolled/chisseled others just let me barely keep my status quo.

PS:
this is purely about map drops. i'm fine with drop rates of items. i also can't complain as i found some quite valueable items. if i'd sell them i could buy my way up to 28 easily.
