FIX YOUR MAP DROPS. FIX THEM. FIIIIIX THEEEEEM!

i don't have any issues sustaining. lack of maps i need for particular area , i still struggle but thats normal.

everyone's different i guess. some HCSSF people do A8 sirus in less than 30hours but others struggle.

must be some sort of account wide nerf to some accounts. yep.

every new league some people say they struggle map sustain and then some people say "yeah i have some issues too, this didnt happen last league blahblah"

this happens every new league.

so next lague will be like this.
playerA: "map sustain is horrible they nerfed it"
playerB: " yeah its horrible now this didnt happen last league(heist)"
PlayerC: "yeah this sucks"

I struggled to get to t14 and used alot of t13 maps only for them to drop t11s and t12s.

Decided to buy 1 or 2 T14s and chiseld alchd and vaaled 4 sextants and i managed to sustain them. Every new league is like this with rng, but i think this league is worse due to contracts

yeah it's most likely connected to the contracts making some conflict with the map drops sphagetti code.

still not able to sustain and there's no mention of it on the week 2 of "fixes".

I guess I will play something else when I run out of maps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i wanna know what you guys do lol
why such different experience?

i needed lex ejoris to comp watchstone in that area. im getting unlucky on conq spawn tho (6maps to spawn one and others 8)
i had 0 ejoris but now i have 6-7 wintin a range to comp next conq. im not doing anything special

im also getting other area's t14~t16 on top of what im aiming for, so by the time i get to a8, i'll be breaking that map sustain point to ever run out of maps

on top of all those, we get shaper maps elder maps cortex(got flask btw hehe) blighted maps master mission etc

how is it possible to run out lol just how

Its just the RNG I think. I get frustrated and rant every now and then because I need to point to the fact that the random is just way too bad and some of it needs to be more determined.

I mean, my bro literally got 10 map drops in one map the other day. And in fact he is half the reason I do completions xD

Me? Nada! Our other guild member? Also nada. Zilch. Not a drop.

If the RNG can swing so much and stick to a "swing" for so long, then something ain't right. They need to make some changes. This is their end game content. I shouldn't be wasting my currency that should be going to end game gear on trying to play end game in the first place. Once in a while is ok, but this is like a constant nightmare for me here.

I'll just go do contracts till my bro catches up. This is not a solution, but I am being honest, I do not expect them to care to fix this. I just couldn't keep silent any more after 3 days of running maps like a goof here.

I am sick and tired of coming in here every season to complain about your abysmal RNG infested map drop rate. Are you bloody kidding me mate?

Does that lvl 81 map indicate something different to you than it does to us? Does it mean Tier 4 instead of 14?



Do you see something wrong with the only 2 maps the region dropped?

Does this look normal to you?



Does this?



FIX YOUR BLOODY DROP RATE!

I have even done spreadsheets to show how ABYSMAL and broken your system is in the past with full lvl 8 awakened map and getting ZERO DROPS AT BUFFED MAPS and 5 SOCKET MAP DEVICE. I have proved over and over how your RNG has bent me over for seasons now and every time makes me buy T16 maps to only convert them into T14 eventually because of how sad the drop rate is.

I have done extensive runs.

I have done the math.

I have shared the data already.

I AM NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN.

FIX THE DROP RATES.
I done another rare 20% map yesterday with 4 sextants and rusted cartographer x2 frags and I GOT ZEROOOOOOOO MAAAPS.

ZEEEEEROOOOOOOOOO.
NOT A SINGLE MAAAAAAAAP!
ZERRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FARM A 4 WATCHSTONE LEX EJORIS 3 DAYS NOW.
FIX.... YOUR.... DROP... RATES! PERIOD!

Ive tried no watchstones but the area I want.
Ive run higher tiers in regions with lower stones AND the same.
I tried scaling the watchstones like "steps".
3 watchstones everywhere (as possible, some regions on zero)
4 in 2 regions and 3 the rest scale to 2 and 1.
Ive done every bloody combo the game can allow.

DROP THE MAPS ALREADY!

You're welcome, hope to be doing business with again soon...

(Disclaimer, to the apologists, don't bother annoying me. I've been through this before with you. No its not my idea. Yes I have done spreadsheets and noted down runs, qualities, etc, and drops and tiers, yes I do buff my maps, i even know how much it costs me on avg for every map buff. Yes I've been playing for years. Yes I know the game. No I am not new. Yes I know there are luck runs -I have my own brother getting maps drop on him like its raining while Im doing runs and getting slaps to the face. Yes, we've been through aaaaall this before. Don't bother. If the RNG can create this situation again and again on me, then its broken. Plain and simple. Fix it! Im not going to sit here and waste my already crap currency from crap rng and crap items that sell nothing on buying maps while other people are making exalts like its Halloween candy. FIX THIS!)


Got the same problem.
And even buying maps at Zana isnt possible most of the time.
Iam at tier 14 maps and Zana still sells tier 5,6,7 maps like really?
Why even bother showing them when i clearly give zero *** about those low tiers when iam playing high tiers only.

Also GGG stated a while back that map bosses would drop better loot and potential map drops. I barerly saw any changes to be honest.

Its sad but i had to buy maps at the market again to progress so now iam broke. Despite boosting up all my maps from the start. I even alchemy orbed lower tier maps in the hopes of finally getting some more maps. But nope.

First i thought, maybe it takes time for Zana to proces that i progressed quickly to higher maps but thats not it. After 5 days she is still offering me low tier maps and asking me "still sane exile". If i could kill Zana i would had done it many times. Her offers are even more scammier then Perandus his offers. That says a lot..... if you did perandus a lot you know this.

I fully agree with your post. My mates got the same problem.

Atlas bonus 56/140...
7537/75000 that's at best 125 Alc'd maps since T1 (@60 quant)
- Far, far less if you are actually chiseling/vailing your red maps... which you're clearly not.

But you're up to t14!... right?

Same shit posts every league. "I've done 5 red maps and didn't get 50 T16's back! Fix it!"

You have to progress through the tiers, plain and simple.
You think the thousands of people that get A8 in a day or 2, ever league are just lucky? lol

Also - map drops were 'indirectly' nerfed following the loot fiesta from Delirium and Metamorph. The issues I am having now, are the same as I had during Harvest.


Delirium I can understand, but Metamorph? I don't recall getting map organs by the armfuls. That league was pretty tame in regards to map drops. Harvest's map sustain felt like Delirium, because I couldn't do Delirium worth a damn since I'm a slow summoner, but I still managed to stay at T14+ on alch-and-go like I did in Metamorph.
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!

And the winds will cry / and many men will die / and all the waves will bow down / to the Loreley
I feel that something is broken with maps right now really. Since the conquerors of the atlas release i don't have issues with map sustain at all.

In Harvest where are no extra mobs whatsoever (i even harvested off maps most of the time not even on the maps) and i was swimming in t14+ with no problems at all counting 100+ maps in my pool.

But this league it feels like contracts falling from the sky and coins everywhere wich probably lockout other possible loot to force people to do their league content.

It's not even a Tinfoil theory at this point since something like this really happend in another league some time ago.

i'm usually a Player who does not complain about map sustain because i have my ways sustaining them and i do 95%+ Atlas completition almost every league without buying a single map from any player only through Zana and Map drops. But this league it feels just wrong sorry i have to agree with OP on this.
