WTF is going on with map sustain this league?

MY Atlas on A5 i m really boring thi league. But i just complete 5 t15 map in row maps still drop 3-4 lvl maps. This league really shit.

I Play SSF, im at 141+ completions.
70+ T14+ Maps in stash.

Dont see the problem...

Do Zana, Temple, Delve if you dont get enough Maps.

And always check Zana Sales for cheap maps to get more completions :-)

Part of the problem is that maps are random rewards, and that means some people are going to lose the map game. It's a pretty bad system to have be random, since the people who get many more maps than they should don't actually get any reward, and anyone who gets a return of slightly less than one feels like they're losing horribly and everything is broken.

ya you have to get your completion above 140 and also your awakener bonus for the % increased effect on modifiers.

Map sustain isn't really an issue

Felt this way too. Like I had to wait for some time in map trade coz my maps are not sustaining pretty well. Same case... I bought a higher level maps just so Im expecting it would drop something in the tier as well only to get more tier1 tropical island. 😂

No? I've never had the "map problem" in any league I've played seriously. Can't be a thing if its only a matter of luck.

Luck plays a role, but if you consistently roll your maps well, you will be able to sustain them (unless you are really super unlucky).
It's just that this is not explicitly stated anywhere, so many players still don't get the "you must pay in-game currency to play in end game" PoE mindset. No other game I've played has that, so yeah, it should be made more obvious somewhere.

ah yes...

good ol' "it's not a thing at all cuz it never happen to me"

poe community..

I've been playing actively for years and have only skipped a few leagues (Blight from recent memory because Legion completely drained me).

The key to map sustain is being able to roll corrupted maps and being able to Delve and hit cities. Delve cities became obsolete after the conqueror update. They were replaced with Zana. Constantly using Zana missions can fill up your atlas fast and vaaled maps can take care of map drops.

You cannot lose by doing this. No amount of bad luck can stop your map progression. It can delay it a bit perhaps but nothing you need to worry about.

144/154 completition
Last league map sustain was fine. This leage i do t16 and get t13 t14 back...
