, FeelsSadMan. Are you into unlocking entire Atlas? Streamers tell that it's way to go.

Yes I am. I like variation. I am at 58% now. Still missing some T2-T4 maps, for some stupid reason. Don't know why they won't drop.

Then according to streamers you should swim in Yellow maps by that time :x

I am not down to T3 maps only. I have had T7 as the highest.
And this is AFTER the buff.

I am not having fun.

EDIT: Well, drops do get better along the way, but it really is too hard to unlock the next tier. There should be a much better change at getting the map above the one you are doing now to drop.

EDIT: Inexplicable double post. Also not fun. But less terrible than map drops.

On the second or third day i had like 10 T11 red maps, i was happy and thought it was enough to start doing them, then they even buffed the map drops. Well Rip.

I am now at like 2/3 days chaining T9's. In about 20 T9's i get like 5 T10's, and when i move on to those T10's i go back to the start.

I cant build a higher lvl map pool at this point, have no idea whats going on, i must be dealing with some terrible rng.

Edit: i have 66% bonus btw.

Edit2: i have now ripped my t9's too, time for t8's. I can do all map mods btw.

Edit. Double Post.

I believe that we can now sustain T8-10 maps somewhat reliably. Which is probably intended. Opening the entire atlas is a must now it seems. There isn't much choice as to what maps you will unlock. You must unlock them all to sustain maps.

But I had 5x T12-13 maps in a row with 80-145iiq and one even with 45 packsize. All I got back was 1 colonade, a graveyard and another lowish map. It seems that once you go over T10 the droprate goes down MASSIVELY. It seems as if we are intended to stay at T8-10

I was looking forward for atlas of worlds for a rework on the map system. But it seens it got a bit worst now.

To play high content, you will have to use poe trade. It is simple as that. Before AoW, highest content available was Core, for 30-35 chaos, and Uber Atziri, with hope around 2.5 exs, for a total of 3ex i could play all high content. Now will have to pay 2ex per guardian + 60c for new core, + 2ex for hope for uber atziri, total of around 10ex, more then 3x more then before AoW.

I dont know, i am a bit disapointed with this "new expansion" focusing on endgame...

My suggestion for Poe End Game:

- Make a new currency, with drop rates like Chaos, that gives +1 tier to maps. If you beat that given map, you will have a chance that a +1 tier from that same map will drop anytime

- On Atlas, you will be able to track your record, the highest tier for that given map, including the number of maps mods, and if you beat that given map deathless

- New hideout decorations with maps records, per example: If you beat the new Dark Forest tier 15, you will get the Rigward wolf head as a map decoration. If a player inspect that decoration, he will see your highest tier map from Dark Forest

- Make some random dungeons inside maps, like vaal dungeons on story mode, that are 1-5 tiers higher then currently map, with diferents mods on it. If you die inside that dungeon you get back to the entrace and will not be able to go inside again

- Increase drop rate of maps on map bosses.

Hmmm so it seems that it become easier to sustain Yellow maps with drop rate and Zana change. Red maps are still rare af?

Lower tier red maps you will see so now and then. But the higher tiers yeah... And red maps have no sustain regardless of rolls, packsize, iiq and atlas unlocks it seems. Best to just chain tons of T8-T10 maps imo if you wanna go lvl100 and a few lower tiers even (only good layouts).

Just use redmaps for the unlock once. Then if you get them again sell them and buy lower tier maps for the currency.
