which is, honestly, very lame. receiving a challenge 'checkmark' by completely circumventing its intended use...doesnt that defeat the whole purpose ?

it more or less killed the fame of the 40/40 for early finishers.

ggg really should stop that practice of changing game mechanics in the middle of the league, making it harder for those who couldn't nolife the start of the league.

it's demotivating, really!

I got 280+ map drops and did not grind for it. It just happened. 3 characters into 90.

"Hey kids, I play 60h of POE a week. Stop whining, this challenge is easy."

Lol.

GGG wouldn't be themselves if they did not remove double map drops from counting... XDD

This is the only thing that made me a bit angry about this challenge.

I get 4 maps from one boss? Furk you Perq, only 1 counts in! :D

"Hey kid"

I am nowhere near 60h a week. I just run a lot of maps quickly. Didn't say it is easy either, but this challenge is what it is. You run maps to get maps.

"lol"

i seriously dont know how the challenges are easy ?

i can understand the first 20 are, which just happen to be completed while playing the game. 21-30/32 one has to put some effort into it.

over 32+ its hard.

I know I will get to 32 when i hit lvl 90 with my ranger (lvl 89 now). but afterward its a brick wall.
I probably will get one for the double spirit one (thats the encounters challenge) - which will get me to 33.
getting this map one done would be achievement 34... which still leave 2 more.
twined maps - really hard, unid maps - almost impossible to do, end game grind - lol, not even going there. and the list go on.

36 challenges is not something that a casual player can ever achieve without putting substantial amount of time and effort

Twinned aren't that hard - just alt spam them. It seems that there is so many of them, but in fact this is pretty easy. It also helps if you are doing it in groups, so you split the cost of alting them. Still doable solo, tho.
And it doesn't take THAT much alts, too. I've done this challenge and only have 2 characters on this league (90 and 91, I died a quite a lot tho, as my builds were pretty... experimental XD) and still have...

... left.

Same goes for unid maps - they are mostly low lvl ones. Easiest ways of getting the maps: alch maps which vendor for map you need, resulting in unid rare map, or Vaaling rare maps. Second method is even better, because if you don't get the unind one, you can still get 8 mod one.

The only challenges that need massive amounts of time are End Game Grind and Maps. To do the others, you pretty much only need one character level up to lvl 90.

Miazga - as Perq said, Twinned and Unid are not hard to get at all. This was the easy method I used to get them, give it a go and you will see.
I am at 36 and these are the challenges I am missing:

- End game grind
- Get maps from bosses
- Divination Cards
- Fulfill prophecy II

Which ones are you missing?

I will see, i only pay solo tho. What i miss are:
- endgame grind
- clear maps with 8 mods (0/10)
- get maps (125/300)
- clear twinned (2/15)
- div cards (1/7)
- kill argus in uber lab
- clear unid maps (0/10)
- reach lvl 90 (this will happen this weak, my ranger is at 89 and slowly making it way to 90)
- Encounter III (double tormented spirits - i try with zana mod, buy keep get 2 spirits in a map only)

As i said i will do the lvl 90, the tormented spirits and will try to get the 300 maps, but rest is so much hussle.

it was a bug. piety is not a map boss. she should not be incrementing counters for map drops from map bosses....


it shouldve been fixed way earlier, Ill give you that

the unid maps can be done with vaal orbs. I am hoping for my last 2 naturally, but if the league starts getting close to ending , ill start vaal spaming till I get them.
