GGG: How will the 3.1 transition work for the atlas in standard?

I'd love some information on:

1) Will the atlas be reset in standard when we transition to 3.1?

2) Will it be possible to get shaper/elder items in legacy (i.e. 3.0) maps?

3) Will it be possible to kill elder guardians in legacy maps?

Cheers!

I'd like to see a developer manifesto about this.

I would guess each legacy maps will "correlate" to a new map layout of the same tier similar to how the original atlas of worlds worked.

So yes, legacy maps will still function except it will 'complete' a different map on the new atlas and all rules for drops will be based on the new map.

As for atlas reset, GGG could be real pricks and wipe out everyone's atlas because their too lazy to do a proper merge.

I'm hoping that they treat this like the passive tree and we get our shaped orbs back in inventory. Given the new placement a lot of us might want to shape new maps.

We get the manifesto on Tuesday and Patch notes on Wednesday, so all will be revealed in time.

I really hope they dont reset the entire Atlas, just add the new maps in the path.

I dont want to pay 5 ex for another Perandus Manor for fuck sake.

I thought I heard Ziggy or someone say they heard from a dev the standard atlas would be reset. But I could be wrong and really don't know.

Either way, Bex the real MVP is here! :D

In any case, I am 99% sure it is going to be a mess. Like when Atlas of Worlds came online.

Let's not forget how 3.0 erased half of your passive skill points forcing you to trudge through act content on level 90+ characters just to get back what you had.

I don't think it was hard, GGG just did not see the value in throwing STD a bone.

please dont wipe our perandus manor, putrid cloister, vaal temple type map completions, that would be absolutely awful.
