Changes to the Atlas of Worlds in Path of Exile: Delirium
" I considered the Atlas rework to be the highlight of 3.9, it felt so good not quitting the league after a month in on account of plateauing at T10 due to bad map sustain. Am I gonna have to go back to quitting shortly after the league starts again? Players should NOT have to trade just to progress, especially in endgame. I was really looking forward to not putting Cameria in Fortification just to get Harbinger Orbs, but now I'm gonna have to lean hard on him and Rin's scarabs again. PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds. Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build! MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish. Last edited by Pizzarugi on Mar 1, 2020, 5:38:24 PM

" What's fun to one person is boring to another. We are pining for the CHOICE to run whichever maps we want. Whether that's just 1 map, 1 map per tier across multiple tiers, or multiple maps across multiple tiers, or full completion. Leave that up to the player instead of forcing everyone to just progress towards full completion. I want to shape my atlas in such a way that I only get map drops that I'd actually enjoy running. I don't understand where you got this idea that you'd be punished for not running just one map in the old system. That's just plain wrong, and idiotic. | |
" They feel that getting more master missions is actually better for the player base than sustaining the atlas LOL. I don't know who is the person behind these decisions but I really hope they take a step back with this choice. | |
" Ever heard of the idea that there should be max number of master missions stored and that if you reach that, only other missions would be gained? =) | |

Is there a place that describes exactly how the 3.9 atlas works and what the GGG expected progression is.

" +1 my dude. This league was the first one I actually played after the disaster called Bestiary, which made me completely uninstall the game. I came back for Meta, had tremendous amounts of fun. I guess I'm uninstalling it again because, you know, the company is called Grinding Gear Games. If you don't grind 24/7 you're not allowed to have fun. GGG treating all players as they are Mathils and Zizarans... nothing new I guess. I don't even know why I'm surprised. This game is not for casuals and they make sure of it. | |

It's fine. You'll get a bazillion mobs anyway from the new league mechanic to drop whatever rewards you deem necessary. It's basically the only design they are capable of. With a bit of luck we'll even get guardian maps from temple and delve outposts again so they won't be complete shit.

Not surprising. It was easy to see a map sustain nerf coming when you no longer needed to run maps as rare to sustain your map pool.

Glad you've learned and allow Standard to retain unique map completion. I wish this had been a thing consistently done so I didn't lose the Perandus Manor I rng-grinded to buy with coins via map mods 'cause I couldn't afford the price when trading. The other ones didn't hurt as much, since those could drop if I just kept playing.
Oh well, hopefully this will remain the decision going forward and maybe one day I'll contemplate trying for full atlas completion. |
