The standard atlas reset each league is an enormous slap across the face and it's getting worse.
|
The league rollover has reached an unacceptable state for standard league players. I know we're in the minority of PoE players, but that doesn't mean we should just get fucked over each league. GGG please stop kicking open the standard door, chucking in league and expansion content haphazardly, and ignoring the mess it makes when it lands.
The entire atlas being uncompleted was annoying. But, we can run a map to recomplete MOST of it. Thanks I guess? If I have max completion bonuses, both regular and awakened, can I please simply keep them? Can you simply recomplete everything? The CONVERT MAPS button is possibly the most terrifying enemy in PoE. Is it still going to obliterate my map pool into only a few maps of each tier? Why, when I sell 10 different maps (of the previous league's "version"), do I receive multiple copies of only 3-4 different maps? Is the CONVERT MAPS button going to work the same? Make the map conversion 1:1 to a new map in the new league "version". Please state this clearly so I don't have to sit here in anxious terror staring at the CONVERT MAPS button instead of playing the game. The favorite maps get nuked. Also annoying, but why can't they at least follow the map to the new tier and region? It's better than nuked. And saving the best for last, the newest, biggest, most obnoxious slap across the face... WHY DID YOU NUKE ALL MAVEN PROGRESS?!?!?! DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE CORTEX MAPS ARE FOR SSF PLAYERS?!?! Oh wait, you do... Seriously, all those fights and maps just gone? Maven progress isn't even tied to atlas layout! PLEASE, don't make this our new normal. This needs to be addressed. Smooth the league transitions in standard league. If this is the way it's going to be, I shudder to think of what the transition to PoE 2 is going to be like for us.

I ran one map after Ultimatum ended (T16 Chimera), and got back all progress on the Atlas and still had my previous allocated Uncharted Realms Notables intact. The whole convert map thing making high tier Unique maps (especially synthesis unique maps) into lower tier really needs to be addressed so that is something that is seemingly been addressed countless amounts of times and never seems to get the attention it deserves because of the whole mindset from league players that Standard League is a graveyard and nobody cares what happens there.
I beg to differ about that sentiment because if you love the game, and don't like the league, but still want to play, there has to be some kind of consistency whenever our atlas and maps get reset, and surely the player worked their way to obtain those higher tier maps specifically for the challenge and rewards that come with them. Surely, this kind of thing shouldn't be swept under the rug or devs turning a blind eye to bc it might be more work and time-consuming than it is worth to fix in their consensus view. Maybe I'm wrong about that, and possibly being understaffed for taking on a whole new PoE development + maintaining the current iteration of PoE is all that can be handled at this time, but I would beg to venture if it was higher on their list of priorities, they'd find a way to hire or delegate a small crew just to work on that as a side-project, get it fixed, and be able to take a deep breathe of relief knowing that this issue has caused a lot of grief for the playerbase that enjoys playing Standard. @ OP: I really do hope this issue gets addressed sooner than later and before PoE2 launches for the sake and sanity of everybody! |

" For me, not all Maven progress was nuked. The only thing nuked were partially completed quests. They went to zero maps completed. All completed quests remained completed. I agree with your general sentiment though. GGG has fixed a number of things in this regard but there are still problems, as you mention. Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

Yes that's what I meant, sorry if that wasn't clear. The atlas points are still there, but the progress is gone from the uncharted realms and regions. Even with just the regions that's an average of 40 maps. Then add the more rare encounters and it's just silly they are nuked like that.

" +1 Sadly this is the new normal and has been for a few years now ever since they introduced Betrayal league mechanics. I called them out ASAP on this very issue and it's sad that it's still going on. If Standard players wanted a "fresh start" they'd make a temp league char. They just figure players will "shut up and play" , just accept it as the game randomly changing as the beta treatment continues. Back when Betrayal league started, they didn't mention it at all in the patch notes and to this day still haven't exactly acknowledged this issue; like many others of course. Speaking of patch notes changes, I'm still lost on when the hell did they make certain changes like nerfing Leo's damage crafting mod, nerfing syndicate reward benches and quite a few other random changes. As far as the rest of the atlas goes, I truly hate this new watchstone crap. It makes the atlas much more complicated than it should be. War for the Atlas was a decent way it was. Ironically enough, they disabled us players from using Leaguestones but introduced a whole new system of these watchstones. Ugh Here's the thread about this crap first started to see how many years it's been now. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2258153 I rarely post, but when I do it's important. Fighting for the player, not monsters! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/880487

It's so sad that this has been a significant problem for years, but doesn't get addressed because standard players are so few that they apparently aren't important even after multiple years. As terrible as it is to say, hopefully Expedition league continues to lose so many players that standard players become a "significant enough percentage" of total players to have any issues addressed.
I found this thread where a GGG developer named Jatin shows they're so familiar with the intricacies of the problem that they even name specific maps and tiers to remove as a workaround for a failing convert maps button. How is so much research time spent investigating the detailed root of an issue, but not fixing it??? Just make it a 1:1 conversion and that other convert maps button failure bug literally gets fixed automatically. Stop punishing standard players for having and liking map variety. |

" I agree. My idea here - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3154498 was to make seasonal leagues void (maybe too extreme) | |

" Not sure I feel the gold change. One of the things I love about PoE is the currency system and not having gold. |

Bumping because I'm frustrated.
