Crafting Maps Is Really, Not Fun

Ever since the beginning of my experience with this game ive never had fun actually crafting maps.

That is almost compared to having to play halo 3 on maps you have created in forge and those maps only...

Why is there no system for generating random maps or having the ability to do as many zana's as we please?

What exactly is the harm in allowing players to not be restricted by currency or time invested in lower tier maps?

Id rather do unidentified random maps on a continuous loop untill i rip than to waste hours every week crafting maps....

Please can we get some kind of change to this game?

Its the same thing every league...

have fun creating new builds, get to map lvl(80+), game instantly becomes boring and almost like a chore...

Sure Zana has craft-able mods but again coming back to being gated by currency and a map pool...

There needs to be come kind of void zone that we can enter where the maps are randomly generated, and on a continuous loop that we can run into all kinds of deadly adventures,traps,mods, etc and actually have some fun in this game.

This response has literally nothing to do with my post.

When you alc vaal you sometimes roll mods you cannot run... having to waste your currency on "crafting" and having to "Craft" maps is what im talking about...

This post isnt about not knowing how to craft. pls read

for that reason i use builds that can run anything.
crying about mods are in neighbour topic, join them.

if you use build that cant run anything, you wont bypass lvl 8 maps untill you level zana to lvl 7. i did that error not once and not twice, skipping all that double boss bloodmagic 40% hp 90 cold necropolis and noregen wasteland fun.

so if you cant run whatever map mods you vaal, you have to invest currency in running what you like.

I agree 100% OP. You summed the Mapping system up perfectly when you called it a Chore. Dried Lake was sooooo good compared to the mapping system - you run through the map, portal and sell - rinse and repeat. I'm pretty sure I ran Dried Lake til 85 or something silly because I frickin hate the mapping system.

I hate having to constantly organize stash with maps, upgrade maps manually, buy chisels en masse for mapping, I hate rolling mods that are stupid but I have to run it cos that's how you sustain maps. I hate build restricting rolls with mapping (immune to curses... no mana regen) like I built class to do all rolls just because this would have sh1t me off and I'd have quit earlier if I didn't.

I was gonna go to lvl.100 but a fair number of RIPs and the mapping chore time required made me say 'Nah fuk that'. I would have continued to 100 and enjoyed the game moreso if I had access to a higher lvl. of Dried Lake. Seems silly but I'm super lazy after work... I just wanna run around watch my totems melt monsters then steal their loot. Also I don't really wanna make some wacky builds because I just think ahead to mapping and how annoying it'll be.

nice.
you get to 85 at 10kk\hour at 82-85, forced to leave dl cause it gives 4kk\h from 85, and then you dont have no map pool nor leveled zana
perfect strat, good job!

I don't know the exp. rates - but yes I left because things got very slow. This is in softcore so Zana was already lvl.8 lightyears ago. I had a map pool because it was softcore and I'd had other exiles that I'd mapped with before my lvl.99.
It wasn't a strat.. I'm not really trying to be efficient and all that jazz. I'm just trying to melt monster faces, steal some tasty loot and enjoy myself.

what a selfownage.

These two with reflect and blood magic are by far the most annoying mods to get.
Instant reroll, currency sinks ftw.

then search for mapping group, guild or rota.
so for your one rolled map you get 5 more.
that's how things work. you play solo and run any vaaled map, you play in group and run whatever you want.
