GGG: Linking Daily quests to the Atlas is pissing me off!
Ok, I've been playing off and on since closed beta, and with almost 6k hours in game I have to write what I feel is the angriest post I've ever wanted to write, about something I love, Path of Exile. I was excited to get new masters, and I have loved every expansion that I've played in, except for Bestiery, and now this league, though for different reasons. What's got my nuts all twisted is the fact that EVERYTHING in this damned game now is tied to the atlas. 1. Feel like doing daily missions: Check the atlas, check the map tab: Nope, got to spend time messaging people, 75% of don't answer, to trade for a damned map. 2. Feel like doing delves: Check Sulfite levels: Nope need more. Check the Atlas: Oh there's a daily, goto #1. 3. Sure I can run the low level maps that I have, or that's right I could buy more maps from Zana. Ok right I bought them all already, and the daily map she's on now, isn't one of the maps I have: Goto #1. 4. Right I can join a pub group, and get map credit, for my atlas that way. Oh right but since I didn't open the map, I'll never get a map drop from doing that. Ok look, by now you get the point, but I'm not going to say that dreaded "auction house." Because honestly that won't fix this. I don't hate mapping in fact I love it, except when I can't do it, because I don't have a particular map, and I'm forced to trade for it, or say fuck it, I guess I'll go play something else cause I hate trading for some resource that is core to the endgame experience. Something that I'm capable of doing, and love doing but because I suck at trading, and HATE clearspeed meta, I'm basically bottom of the barrel for resource gathering, which is now all that endgame is about. How about making it so that everytime the masters reset, they MUST go onto a map that you actually have in your inventory???? OR How about the Maps that Zana has for sale, dynamically rotate, in response to the maps you don't yet have completed???? GGG, please think about this. I would rather have spend that last 30 minutes playing more of the game I love than writing, and re-writing this post. Last bumped on Mar 14, 2019, 8:55:23 PM

It's even worse if you're SSF.

they seriously need to up map drops it's the worst part of this game that you can't find your own, before you could change a map to a random one of the same tier it would take some time 20 runs for a map to drop for a specific map. The end game shaper stuff is pretty much unplayable solo and not wanting to trade.

Yea I dislike the daily quests on the Atlas as well. It really hard to keep a decent variety of maps stocked up with the rng system screwing me over. As a gay male I'd like to freely express the pain this system causes me but apparently it would be homophobic to relate it to shoving large objects in certain areas.

" 'cheat' someone mentioned yesterday and will try today is that the supposedly the masters spawn in the tier you last did a map in before reset, so won't help not having the map, but if you've got a ton of tier 3-4 maps least better chance if you do a tier 2 map right before. |

Day 3. Still can't get my first memory fragment, running every connected map I have every time. I refuse to buy a T2 map.

This game needs the equivalence of a commodity trader. Maps/currency/frags/essences etc should all be tradable via an ingame mechanism. Only unmodified blanks of the items. That way there could be a global rate for these standard items. The volume of trades is too big. Sellers cannot keep up with demand(due to manual nature of trading) and as a result it takes 10+ tries for a buyer to find a seller. I have personally made maybe 500 trades this league, and probably 90% of those trades were for items which were just basic things that wasted a ton of time in trading. It is grossly inefficent way of having an economy. Sort of like going to a store every time you want to eat a single apple.

A small tip: Daily quests (master missions) spawn depending on your last played map tier. For example, if you run a tier 5 map as a last map before daily mission reset, you get missions spawn around tier 5 maps.
Note: I noticed this during Betrayal League and assume that it is like this for the current league (I could not reached the maps yet in this league) |

In the past I erred on the side of "git gud" for map complaint threads but since the Masters revamp doing dailies means you need multiples of like 155 maps (without trading). It rustles my jimmies and I fully agree with the op.
My personal preference would be detach the dailies from Atlas and also stop forcing full Atlas completion. There's a reason why people liked running a shaped Atlas strat in the past. Last edited by ladish#6213 on Mar 14, 2019, 2:19:19 PM

Damn OP is *SPOT ON*
Last league I never got past white maps because they did not drop. Zana did not refresh daily to buy new maps. I avoid the travesty that is trade in PoE as much as I possibly can. And now I cannot even progress in the game... other than the league mechanic, which is a shitshow in this alzheimer's league. At least with Syndicate I could farm the mechanic, and did, because it was all I *could* do. Missions were *always* on maps I had either not accessed yet, or on maps I did not have. PLEASE FIX THIS SHIT, GGG! Patch Notes 3.15:
Fixed a bug where players believed the game was playable. This has been corrected and made retroactive. Patch Notes 3.19: Fixed a bug where players adapted to 3.15. This bug cannot be corrected, so we have implemented a 90% reduction in item access as a punishment. |
