Why Kirac's missions do not respect the atlas passive tree?

I find this weird and slightly annoying. They are an excellent way to target farm specific map mechanics but these map mechanics do not benefit from your atlas passive tree which makes him only good for random influenced maps.

Not just slightly annoying imo. I find it very annoying, especially since the thoughtprocess behind clearly was"

"Damn, Kirak missions can be pretty good... and people could stack them with atlas passives to target farm stuff and have fun.

Target farm and have fun? We can't have either of those things. Let's turn the passives off for Kirak missions.
And when we're at it, let's turn off all Atlas passives for shaper guardian, elder guardian, and other special maps too.

But there are passives specifically aimed for those.

Okay, then let's work a bit overtime, and turn off all passives for those maps aside from the specific ones."

Zana missions never benefitted from the old passive nodes.

Besides, there would be no point of playing normal maps if they did.
Now you have to make a pro/con decision, target farm or juice up.
This is the general philosophy of GGG/PoE.

What do you mean? Do you have constant access to Kirac missions without having to run normal maps? How is this even possible?

Idk. It kind of makes sense. The missions aren't meant to be run exclusively but are just a supplemental tool.

I'm not spec'd into any kirac nodes besides the extra mission one and I've gotten 5 untainteds so far. It's insane...

you cant run them exclusively, you dont have enough of them.



they need to respect you atlas passives. i was in one the other day and there was an incursion, ran it, turns out it doesnt use my passives and instead of changing the room gaining the old rooms level it reset it, so it actually semi fucked up my temple because i didnt get a t3 room when i should have, which has a knock on effect with further room options.


its shit, i dont buy any of the reasons why it makes sense or it should be this way. i dont agree, its awful and it needs changed, should never have worked this way.

what's even worse is that guardian/influenced maps dont benefit from the atlas either.

Which sucks because 2 guardian fights are always fun

Maybe I've just been lucky, but my Kirac missions were pretty juiced up even without the passive tree.

It's stupid, nerf fun mechanic by GGG. ANY map should be influenced by your tree. So silly....

Anyway - back to Lost Ark.
