Will there be a new atlas every league now?

The atlas mechanic should be remade from scrach and in the process made immune to incoming changes.

I would resign from the whole "find a map in order to play your game" ideaology and just move into short-delve mechanism and go with "pick your track and try to reach the end by clearing maps on your way". Each time randomly generated, never requiring you to drop anything to progress.

Introduce save-point meaning that player can leave the game and save his last run. Also when player reach some tier and clear it X times, he can from now on, select to always start adventure from this tier. In order to reach elder you always need to clear Y number of maps succesfully, no matter from which tier you start from.

Also player have 5 portals to clear/die/move out of ALL those maps, so pick your loot carefully, each death will cost you "continue attempt".

This way you can you remove the annoyance from the system and introduce new kind of death penalty and survival reward.

This is my preferred solution to the map stash part of the problem.

But we're still left with need to get the new maps before we can do daily missions or do the shaper / elder part of the atlas since the old maps don't count for this (even if they happen to be the same level). I see no reason why an old map that is the same level or higher should not count the same as a new map.

There are so many problems introduced for Standard players by this ill thought out change.

@Bex: it is way beyond an inconvenience, it is massive demotivating and unnecessary change.

This should be one of their main concerns at the moment. In addition to the problem with resonators and fossils not stacking, this is the main reason why I do not even consider playing standard at the moment.

The best solution would be an upgrade-button for map tabs that automatically updates all maps to the latest set. Magic, yellow and corrupted maps inherit their previous mods. Tilesets can change, but tiers remain the same.

We do plan to reshuffle the atlas every expansion. I've spoken to the team about how this can be inconvenient for Standard players. I don't have anything to announce about this at the moment but I've made sure the issue is on their radar. Our apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

The solution would be to not go ahead and shuffle the damn atlas anymore until you have a proper solution
ALREADY in place

they dont want a solution they want standard players to pay more money for tabs
i wont do it
i bought 2 map tabs thinking it would hold me over for the next year but nope
3 moths later its now filled with useless maps

I agree with just about everything said here and wanted to just add my disapproval with this.

As many have said, the only way GGG will change this is if people stop spending money and time on this game. If this hits them in the wallet you will see how fast they change it. If people just complain and still play and pay....nothing will change.

This is literally the answer to all any any complaints.
People complain but keep playing and buying tabs and cosmetics.
Why would GGG listen to any complaints if money keep flowing in?
They won't.

Thank you so much! This is awesome news to me, hopefully you wont change your mind on this, even though there will be a lot of whining. Hopefully you can find something that helps standard players!

30 pages and yet only a single reply from GGG... As I said before:

"This does not bode well, for it confirms my darkest fears."
