Announcements - Atlas Changes in Path of Exile: Conquerors of the Atlas - Forum

sounds cool, shame about not being able to pick out specific maps, shame about the whole influence chasing thing going, those were 2 really good features, rip those i guess. for the overall good? maybe, lets see. ok, question: how does the upgrading effect map drops? lets say i upgrade certain regions of the atlas to varying tiers. In an average day I find t1 maps = 20 of them t7 maps = 17 of them t14 maps = 6 of them total of 43 maps dropped. ok, so now i upgrade my entire atlas to the max, giving me all maps at t14-16. What would running maps for the same day give me? would I get 43 maps between t14 and t16 as that is all i now have on my atlas? Or do I just lose the 37 maps that were below tier 14 because theres now no maps in those tiers that can drop, and hence I just get 6 map drops for the day which are the same t14 maps i would have got anyway?

Shaper and Uber Elder have been the highlight of Endgame for a while. Removing them and putting them on a high RNG wheel sounds like it might be problematic. Given the track history of RNG gated boss fights I expect that only 0.1% of the playerbase will even see them. Please adjust their rates generously!

Thats an interesting question. I would guess that itll still obey the "connected or same tier" rule so youll drop the same tier as the low level maps you have. It might make for easier stockpiling of a single map to spam. Ign: Shaavu	Posted by shaazu on Nov 19, 2019, 10:24:06 PM Quote this Post

Can you please do your best to make drop rates noticeably better in higher tier maps? I hate situations where spamming lower tiers is more profitable. The game should reward those who do the harder content!	Posted by Shaddolf on Nov 19, 2019, 10:25:50 PM Quote this Post
Unless im missing something... How will you drop the higher tier maps? E.g. Run T5 Strand. Kill Conqueror. Drop Watchstone. Socket Watchstone. T5 strand now becomes T10 strand. How do I run the T10 strand if all my maps are T5 and below? Ign: Shaavu	Posted by shaazu on Nov 19, 2019, 10:27:50 PM Quote this Post

Maybe the map tier will not be set on the stones themselves, but by the atlas. as in the map stones will have not have any tier assigned to them?

I was hoping to do a Starforge build this season - could be expensive!	Posted by marrrrty on Nov 19, 2019, 10:35:36 PM Quote this Post
