Shaper and Elder influence are no longer found on your Atlas. Shaper and Elder items will still be accessible through their usual means such as some league rewards, divination cards and drops from the Shaper and Elder encounters and Guardians. You will occasionally be able to obtain maps that have Shaper and Elder influence through the use of Scarabs, as well as maps that have a modifier which applies influence to the area. Shaper's Strongholds will also cease to exist. Shaper's Orbs and Elder's Orb will no longer be obtainable and existing orbs will be destroyed. Unshaping Orbs and Cartographer's Seals will no longer be usable.

Shaper Guardian Maps are no longer found on the Atlas. Instead, you will be able to find them through Zana missions. They will continue to drop their unique items and fragments. Combining each of the Shaper Fragments will continue to open portals to The Shaper's Realm. If you're interested in obtaining the Celestial Hideout, you'll want to do so before these changes, as access to the Shaper encounter is likely to be more difficult and expensive than it is currently.

Elder Guardians and The Elder will occasionally replace the Map boss of various Zana mission maps. Both Shaper and Elder will have a chance to drop fragments. Combining these fragments will open portals to the Uber Elder encounter.



I really like the new atlas, but I'm scared about this part. It is imperative that it's properly balanced from day 1.

What are your current intentions regarding the changes? How rare the encounters are going to be? Are the drop rates going to be changed, items buffed etc? We have so many questions...

PS.

GGG: Dad, how expensive do you want the Watcher's Eye to get?

Chris: YES.

I am so excited. I wish I'd lose my job rn so I can play in peace
What about Atlas Mission stacks? Do we still keep them?
Yeah like it was so easy to get before this

At least make it spawn like a location so we can sell it to others if it's gonna be even more retarded to get ?

my whole endgame was spawning and killing uber elder and i like it.
i also like my 159/159 atlas.
and now you're taking it away from me.


Completion won't be taken away or at least i hope so. Only needed to complete 1 or 2 T15/T16 map and all of them will be revealed again. At least how this worked in the current and previous standard leagues. :-)
Why exactly are Cartographer's Seals being removed from the game? Hopefully someone from GGG will explain reasons behind that decision soon.

The elder shaper influence map chase was one of the worst parts of the game. Not enjoyable at all, couldnt just dive in to maps and get to end game content without worrying about the influence. These changes are very welcome.
To mee theses changes sound like grabage, but I'll wait to experience it in the expansion...
so hyped MaN
Gave up after 200 shaper and uber elder runs, rip HO :(
