warning: you may forsake any delve map rewards!

After I awakened 4 areas I did some delve Vaal Outposts and from the map stashes I got...nothing. nada, zero.
It was mob level 82 so tbh, at least one map has to drop..before this patch you got at least something. (no, did not change loot filter)
This patch is ridiculous not sure what to do now? Any advice? Stop playing for a month till this shitty bugfest is cleared?
Delve was always great to get some extra maps, but now, dunno.


edit: did another 2 outposts, got a white map in level 82 delve area (nice one really /sarcasm). It seems it is related to the fact that atlas is locked to t1-5 and t14-16's.
If I remember correctly that if for example a t7 would drop but can't (no t7 unlocked on atlas), it won't drop at all...

= did you even test this, GGG? What happens after whole atlas is t14+ you practically lose like 70% of all possible map drops or what?

big disappoitment here

It really is that time again. They try and succeed in fixing some bugs - i can finally get fossils from behind delve walls - only to utterly destroy the game with old and new bugs introduced.

Cant play the game myself due to massive memory leak introduced in 3.9.0e. FPS drop to about 10 after 20-30 minutes of play. Seems to be a problem with Win7 64x and/or Nvidia cards.

Yaaaay! Sigh
Don't do vaal cities or abyssal cities until you have sorted your atlas. Or, just suck it up and get no maps and don't cry about it.

Vaal cities will always give you what your atlas says you have earned. If that box is empty, it means you need to go complete the atlas quest line.

They deliberately worked it this way so you could not "cheat" and pull maps out of your butt (the ground) that you didn't earn or work towards in the main quest line.

I found this out the hard way, I'm in Standard, first day of last league went skipping along through vaaltown and opened an empty box with a poop-stained white paper plate in it. Yup, 272 depth and all I got was a corrupted white jungle valley. After whining in global I got educated.

Any non-Atlas source of maps that would ordinarily give you non-t1 maps will allways be keyed to your actual current Atlas progress. This includes the map chests in the Temple of Atzoatl, the gimmes in HOGM, and possibly even the freebies in Caer Blaidd.

Nice, that means that if you have the Atlas fully completed and max Awakened, you will NOT DROP BELOW T14-16, no matter what content you run.

If TencentGGG haven't made this symbiosis work BOTH ways, they can @#$% it, and enjoy the most deserted league and Standard wasteland until March, and NO ONE should even think about "supporting" them further, until they actually MAN UP, and "GIT GUD & UP TO SNUFF"...

Getting "educated" on common sense mechanics is a tad much, but TencentGGG are solely responsible for the current ^&*|-fest, and that will leave it's mark (it's a rare performance to alienate both the veterans AND the casuals, yet they somehow achieve it EASILY)...

By the way, they also need to finally balance damage scaling, as it was never before been so hard for the "scrubs" to actually tackle the content - and all the goddamn pro's are welcomed to join me and "EXPERIENCE" PoE with HARD MODE ON by playing REAL MELEE RT - dual wielding/sword & board, and afterwards, tell everyone what they think about the current update...
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...

iirc the maps correlating to atlas progression thing pre-dates Tencent's buyout.

As for melee, my ms glad/champ is my most reliable delver, and if I'm hunting around in Vaaly World for maps, it's him doing the heavy lifting.

I'm just saying, yo. If you want Y, you need to do X.

IDk if it's true that blinging out your whole atlas will always give you red maps in boxes in delve. i certainly hope it's close to true.

Even if it's the usual "oh here's a couple red maps, t12 and t14, along with some decently rolled yellows" I'll be happy. Maybe toss in a chisel or five, and some new sextants. An Atziri's Vaults wouldn't hurt either.

I can't speak to how glitchy and stupid Sirius is at this point because a) he's clearly glitched and b) I haven't bothered logging in or downloading the patch yet because I'm waiting to hear about how the AMD video card thing settles. I have one of the cards that's known to cause blackscreens and I just don't want to deal with that shit right now. It's a week until Christmas, I have more important matters on my plate.

If you want to look at my build it's in my profile - jugg might be an even better choice because you don't have to gimp your gear choices to avoid the chain stuns and freezes I have to deal with from those blue-ass monkeys.

Nope. Level 8 awakening - got zilch from around 200 depth primeval city map chests. Sometimes got drops from temple, sometimes zilch. Tried to remove 1 stone from a outer and 1 from an inner region of the atlas so i have tier 11-15 maps, still zilched in delve.

I mean if you're still playing on windows 7 that's your own damn fault.

It's a bug. I never bothered reporting it. Surely they must know about it. You fix it by not having all your atlas stones socketed. Do delves as Awakened level 6, or w/e, just not 8.

I don't understand these devs personally. They act inept and ignore feedback.

Stop using Windows 7. You got no one to blame but your self. You're literally using a obsolete OS, no two ways about it. It's beyond obsolete. It's dead and buried. Where's the logic in insisting on staying on it.

Unsocketing watchstones doesn't do squat for your box yield in abyssal cities.

Although i did get some chisels. And Ulaman, or Ulamog, or whatever gave me some nice shoes. They have a hole in them. I said, "hey lichdude why tf these got a hole in them? They're brand new!" "Huh. Oh that's working as intended"

Something very basic isn't tracking right between Zana and Niko.

I'm sure it can be fixed, but what amount of effort and reworking is needed to get there. A league? A year?

I wouldn't even care if it ONLY saw your awakening bonus high-tide mark, which never changes. Once you've managed to get 154/154, you get all the promised maps at the right tier, even if you later go empty out all your watchstones into a coffee tin and roll it down the stairs for the cat to chase.

You could still get shit done. You could sit at AL5 with 152/154 and get yellows. :shrug:
