Ahahha. This drop rates are fucking awesome. Everyone still stuck at T1-5. \o/

Yeah, there is clearly no hidden nerf to map drop rates. Clearly no nerf. No nerf guys.

Or that is how new system is supposed to work and unless you struggled enough to unlock all tiers, when higher tier map roll rolled and you don't have unlocked map of that tier, you got exactly nothing?...cutting drop rates by insane value? All this despite this is clearly not how Atlas supposed to work.

GGG, what's going on?

Its called rng, people are always claiming map drops have been nerfed and yet there will always be people having great drops at the same time.

It's not RNG. I clearly notice that.
I cannot substain Tier 6, even if I alch...

And Atlas will be a map drop nerf, I'm predicting. Don't forget, bosses dont' drop +2 maps anymore, until after you unlock it. You also don't get variety in your map drops at the start of the league while progressing. If you start at one corner, you are stuck with the maps that drop along that atlas path. This is vastly different than mapping previously, where you could get any map type to drop within a tier. With atlas, if you chose a path with bad map layouts, you are stuck with those bad map layout drops until you drop back down tiers to open up the path on the other side of the atlas that has better map layouts. Overall, I see the start of map progression slowing down.
