Changes to the Atlas of Worlds in Path of Exile: Delirium

Why the hell does this has to be so freakin' complex? I feel like talking a Calculus exam again. I'm not in College anymore.

My 2 cents.

Mostly, meh, with a a strong section of seriously, you blew it.

By section.

Influence spawning - we'll see how it shakes out, but meh, whatever
Sextants - this sounds better
Atlas Shuffle - same old, same old. Didn't like it before, still don't like it.
Awakening Level and Awakening Bonus Objectives - so much fail I don't even know what to say.

Surprised to see that you (so far) haven't explicitly moved to force everyone to regrind the watchstones on standard. That would fit with the tone deaf attitude of these changes.

"Tencent wont impact Poe negatively"

Well, you all just got f#cked by the chinese company by nonsense nerfs and double the grinding time to sell those mtx and maximizing the profits. we got like 0 atlast shaping mechanic anymore, you HAVE to run diffrent maps (eww). cant kill sirius? well me intoduce you to Scam carrys (poe's rep system sucky as it is rn anyway dont bother) you could not sustain maps in 3.9? i have good, now you will 100% failing at sustaining them anyway.

I just hope they fixed the memory leak that hit poe with the 3th league patch and never got fixed when i quited the league...

Deterministic system of spawning boss, together with ability to fully control which layouts we can run (target farming via shaping orbs, elder orbs and cartographer seals) were what I loved the most about endgame and until both these things are added back into the game design, this game is dead to me.

tl;dr:
Map sustain gutted
Master missions gutted
Awakening level now can't be controlled once acquired

It's dead Jim.

These people who play SSF and like to voice their opinion seem to scream the loudest.

No one is forcing you to play SSF and SSF should not have special buffed drop rates. I say this because the reductions introduced by this threads proposal makes SSF a bit more challenging than it was in 3.9 and again no one is forcing people to play SSF. That's all on them.

If GGG feels the game needs to be balanced I think with they stats and other information that can make a wise decision.

It's unreal how bad people want power creep in a game jam packed with power creep. Bring back PoE 1.0 and people would love their freakin minds.

The "Conuror Atlas" is NEW from 3.9 and was overtuned.

I love this mentality. Bring back the player metrics from 1.0 and see if it can support a 150-man team at GGG as well.

The game has gotten bigger because it got more appealing to a larger audience. Backtracking on that is NEVER the answer. If you want to make the game harder for the no-lifers, ADD content that does this, but altering the base content to push a majority of the more casual players away is ALWAYS a bad business decision.

We'll also be removing the "x% chance for Maps to drop one tier higher" bonus from Awakening Bonus Objectives.

What!? With no justification whatsoever?

The way you keep resetting the Atlas and wrecking my builds and invalidating all my work every league is absolutely horrendous.

I hate your leagues, and the idea of grinding for now reason just to reset everything every 3 months. I only play Standard, I would never play leagues, I find leagues insulting. Not only because you keep deleting people's work, but you also bring new mechanics only in leagues, which is elitist and scummy. I absolutely absolutely ab so lu te ly hate how you're destroying the game because of these leagues and the way you port content to Standard. It's like playing an endless early access game where save files can be wiped out no remorse.

I'm sure it's not programming failure on your part, but rather design failure. Judging by the scummy mechanics you keep shoving, like the mind tricks in the Lab, or the very idea of building a game around a marketplace that doesn't exist.

OK, the marketplace. You started me. So you force players to buy instead of find, or craft. Because of infinitely slow grind and insane RNG. It's like one of those horrorshow F2P games.. Oh wait, it is a F2P game! A game where getting items [that affect gameplay!], needs to go thru 14 y.o. jerks from Hell, who are not willing to trade. Trading in PoE is the single worst feature of any game I've ever played.

Is PoE 2 going to be exactly the same endless early access Hell, and no automated marketplace?

" This will result in Atlas map completion being reset on Standard league."

Really?! Again!? How many more times do I have to slowly open up the Atlas only to have it reset?

I -really- want to use a string of profanity here to make my displeasure easily known.

I just realized that this means I can stop playing until the update gets released. No need to waste my time clearing maps when that gets reset.
