[3.5 Betrayal] Maps and return on Investment

Greetings,

My map drop was quite bad until I reached 135+ on the Atlas.
T8+ I chis to 20%, alch and rerolled to at least 20%/80%.
My T11+ I chis 20%, alch and rerolled to at least 20%/80% and corrupted

In spite of that, I had to buy maps A LOT!!! for:
- Quests (Those suckers liked to spawn on maps I did not complete OR did not own.
- The drops liked to drop maps I already completed. I drop a lot of unique maps...that I already did!

I seriously think the Atlas system is broken and it has to be tweaked. Since the beginning of the league, I like less and less mapping and I want more and more Delving. Sadly, my Delve time is less and less because of
a) Niko likes to spawn on low level maps
b) The cost of Sulphite to delve is higher and higher
c) Buying Scarabs is a pain the the neck because they sell like hot dogs at a fair for Anorexics.

Conclusion, I am now 141 maps completed and I had to invest about 350 chaos just in maps I did not complete. Now, the sustainability is not that bad. I still need to buy the maps I need sometimes when a master spawns on a map I do not have in inventory.

Thank you

Map system should not be balanced around trading or give NPC the means to trade every map with a cost involved (had no problem when i could buy every map from zana every day after doing her daily)

After 89 hours in this league i'm still running T3 / T4 while my friends are running T10 maps

Running more maps to fight the RNG is not working cause i'm slowly running out of maps. 5 maps in return every 15 maps is not sustainable.

Maybe not but it´s. You can post your suggestions in feedback section.

It´s hard to believe you can´t sustain white maps. Do you really apply all (most) of the things I have mentioned earlier.

If you´re running out of t4 maps run t3, 2, 1 or farm act 9-10 to get more tier 1 … use 3:1 recipe to fill the gaps and so on. (completion bonus might help to sustain maps you know).
Btw Syndicate can drop maps sometimes.

I have only one rule to fight the system ... "Never stop running maps"
…. whatever maps you have.

That´s what streamers do (running maps all the time). That´s all you can do (besides buying).
I wish you GL
