Will there be a new atlas every league now?
" Well, MTX prices since they got "supported" (read "bought" please) by Tencent, are less tolerable than they were when GGG was an "indie" dev. That also made me very reluctant to throw $ their way, besides their ineptitude to provide an actual functional game which should translate into an "enjoyable" experience instead of the current "hit & miss" fiasco we get to enjoy every 3 months even on Standard. And old maps are very valuable in storage for collectors and hoarders alike, so you should rethink a bit your last point. They will always be as "valuable" as any currency orb in storage at least, because you can ALWAYS run them and get said orbs, so they are more meaningful than you might think at first glance... " Saw it and it baffles me. At least it explains the mindset required for the current PoE state and illustrates a high degree of ineptitude regarding understanding the playerbase, their requirements, and the further solutions that need to be implemented. Just like the sad "development manifesto" that tries to "hype" their "mythical attempt" to "fix melee", and hide their well deserved "nut kick" regarding "melee" as a "viable and enjoyable experience" in PoE compared with any game deserving the ARPG title (and it's not like TencentGGG were not fully conscious that they transformed PoE into an arcade shooter with some "faux" RPG elements slapped on as an afterthought, as that was a gradual process)... At least they made Cyclone a "channeling" skill - doesn't everyone and their dog get that is "epic" only for the movement part (which should have worked like that since closed beta, but hey, we're "PoE" and that's saying it all), as slapping even more ways to trigger spells and not melee attacks is a subpar way of addressing "MELEE"??? Not managing in a satisfying manner this map tab + Atlas shuffling conundrum for Standard players actually makes me happy that I stopped throwing $$$ TencentGGG's way and ensures me I made the right decision... Now place your bets regarding their 3.7.0 "melee rework", as I think the green 0 on the roulette table has the best chance to describe their effort, simply due to the fact they will miss the opportunity to also address offscreen clearing in the same patch... PSS: Our almighty TencentGGG overlords are very scrupulous regarding criticizing their abilities to take proper decisions and consider everything "needlessly harsh and condescending"... Good to know "free speech" doesn't apply in any form or manner on the forums these days... Last edited by sofocle10000#6408 on Apr 11, 2019, 10:15:37 PM

Sorry if I'm being a bit of a noob and comment here but why doesn't ggg just make the map tabs remove only in standard when they switch the atlas? Wouldn't that easily solve part of the problem with map inventory? They do it for league players... don't know why standard can't get the same love? The resetting of progression is another matter though...:/

" Gosh... Of course they can do it, as well as they can do so that one map tab will store all kinds of maps from subsequent leagues. But they don't want to do it, because they noticed that people instead of considering it a scam and stop playing, every three months buy a new map tab. It is a pure profit, in addition generated by a group of players who usually did not buy anything. Wilson celebrates and pats the originators on the back. Of course, all this is momentary, because what Great Garbage Games is doing is nothing but selling reputation for an immediate and temporary increase in profits. In some time, when it turns out that they are not able to create anything that would be fun, optimized and devoid of a million gamebreaking bugs, this short-sighted tactic will turn against them. Because suddenly they will be seen as greedy scammers, walking on the bar of the Chinese. Company, which is unable to deliver anything but garbage, and at the same time greedy and lying. In that case, there will be only one way left for them. Do you have mobile phones, exiles? :P |

Can we have a response GGG? We're waiting and getting increasingly agitated
I'm not playing until we get an answer, since I'll just be wasting my time if all my maps are invalidated without a proper way to use them next league. We need a system that allows old maps to count for Shaper/ Elder and Daily missions or something similar. It is not a difficult problem to understand or fix. |

Is it possible devs did this on purpose to destroy POE because POE have sold to Tencent， they can create a new game like POE earlier than sell it again?

" It's more likely that they had nothing to do with the decision, and are trying to find some contractual way to deal with the fallout from it. |

Funny thing is that a big part of this community believes that GGG exists to make a pleasure for them. Unfortunately world is massively different. Companies are created to make money. When they stay big international corporations they are even more greedy. Share holders demand to be paid with dividends, otherwise they will demand to replace the entire board of directors. Tencent nor GGG are not charity funds - making money for their shareholders is the only reason of their existence. This is why you have to pay for new premium map stash tab every quarter and have new MTXs advertised almost every day. Your opinions and expectations do not matter as long an income is OK and numbers are in line with shareholders expectations.
