a) I'm running a T4 Strand, adjacent to T5 Peninsula and T3 Arid Lake. If I shape T3 Arid Lake to T8, thus removing it from the adjacent drop pool, will this force every 'adjacent bonus map drop' to be T5 Peninsula?

Yes.

b) I'm running a T4 Strand again, but this time I've shaped T3 Arid Lake to T8, and T5 Peninsula to T10. As there are now no adjacent maps that are able to drop within the drop level restrictions, will this mean that I'm now able to obtain +2 tier map drops due to the fall back to a regular map drop, even though normally the adjacent bonus drop is unable to do that due to there never being adjacent +2 tier maps?

Yes, it will be possible. If there are no adjacent maps, then it will just drop a random map, with all the usual restrictions and weightings for map drops.

I personally find it a bit weird that we now have yet another way to help us obtain adjacent maps from the map we are running, because we already have so many:

1) Adjacency bonus 4x in comparison to other maps of the same tier

We actually removed that in 3.7.0. and replaced it with the special map boss adjacent map drops.

It looks like there's a similar bug where the "adjacent" drop will sometimes drop the same map you are running, which is unintended and will be fixed.

Can any1 (non-GGG person) confirm this has been fixed with the latest patch?

Thanks.

3.7.3d fixed:
"The additional map drop that Map bosses can drop will now correctly be Shaped if the map chosen is Shaped on your Atlas."

I have highlighted the 4 proper map drops in these 40 maps run. 4 proper map drops.

4 map drops

40 maps run

4 maps....


the rest are dropping t4s and t6s that are directly linked to my beach...

why am I getting t4 linked map drops? the t4 leyline is completed on my atlas, why is my T16 map boss dropping t4 leylines so much? Are bosses not supposed to have an additional 20% or 25% chance to drop a map because you wanted us to actually kill bosses? Why are my bosses dropping proper maps at a 10% rate over all while i endlessly get maps that are linked to my map?

what is up with this?

bug or just bullshit mechanics?

im unsure, but something needs changed here. I feel like you guys have properly screwed up map drops from shaped maps, last time i quit playing this game the straw that broke the camel was not being able to run maps because of this thread, u had fucked up our drops so i couldnt even play your game. tbh it doesnt look to me like u really fixed it? whats going on?

this pattern of map drops has been going on for about 150+ map runs, Ive got maybe 8 proper map drops in those 150+ maps, the rest are leylines, racecourses, the maps directly linked to beach which at t6 and t4s, meanwhile im killing a t16 boss for these map drops?
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
