Favoured maps not working as intended?

Heya!

So far I'm enjoying the revamp of the atlas so far, splendid launch. After getting most the unlocks and voidstones. I used all the map favour for one map (canyon or arcade). However..majority of my T16 map drops were not canyons or arcade at all.

Bug or intended as it is?

Coming from a STD player.

Came here to ask the same thing. I'm missing 3 favorite slots still as i need a sirus/cortex/feared to drop for the last 3, but i tried putting burial into 9/12 slots and it barely drops. I get a ton of cursed crypt and coral ruin which i both hate.

I have all 4 watchstones, and my altas tree has searing/eater, essence,rogues,legion,harbi if that makes any difference.

edit: i swapped a few points to grab Shaping the Seas and i don't feel any difference :(

I've run approx 200 maps now with new atlas setup.

I set 12 x Burial Chambers as favorite.
Took a good few map nodes on the Atlas passive tree, and did typical juice. 4 chisel, alch to 80% quant, vaal, 4 sac frags.
Atlas is fully complete, 117. And all voidstones. so every map is T16.

Total new maps dropped: 200+ (all T16)

Total Burial Chambers: 8.

On a sample like this, we could expect 2/3 burial drop if the favorite system wasnt working at all, but with 8 it seems to be somewhat useful but really far from the 50% chance that Chris mentionned during the Q&A

I'm hoping this is a bug or an oversight. I really don't want to go back to the old atlas style of being starved of map returns. The last two years with the Atlas regions were fantastic for map returns, map favorites (eventually, after the initial release), and so on.

It will take more time but I still can't tell if I need those map passives on the tree while having a tier 16 atlas. Personally I'm only missing 1 favorite map slot (Sirus) at the moment. I have about 10 favorited Haunted Mansions to show for it.

On the bright side you can run your old map versions (finally!) while progressing Maven/Eater/Exarch stuff.

I changed my fav map to Cemetery.

I ran 30 maps.
picked up 34 t16 maps.
14 of those were cemetary.

So 14/34 were from fav selection.

Changed back to Burial.
ran 30 maps.
21 maps found all t16.
2 were burial.

2/21

I think certain maps are bugged, like Haunted mansions, burial chambers etc.

interesting.


theres some mechanics in play like chance for connected map to drop, chance for conq/guardian type maps which will add maps on top of the regular drops that dont obey the favourites, but it shouldnt be that significant an amount, these figures for burial def dont make sense. 14 being cemetery seems like what were expecting, close to 50%.


ive just set mine up so that roughly 50% should be strand maps, ill give it a few hours and see what happens.

I never dropped any haunted mansions either when i faved it.

I'll try different maps tomorrow but i'm a bit sad that we can't have 100% of our map dropped to be the one we choose :/

ok, ive played some maps, should be getting 50% strands, so far out of 9 t16 map drops ive got 1 strand.

it seems to not work on maps that were removed in 3.16 and added in 3.17

this is just a gues,i have no data for this other than a very small total amount of maps run (less than 80)
