Please fix Horizon Orbs

As the title says, Horizon orbs are kind of broken in a very worthless way right now.

If you transform ANY t16, you will get either Residence, Lava Lake or Burial Chamber. NOTHING ELSE.

Utterly useless for anyone trying to farm different kinds of maps, be it for maven or for fun.

While at it, although I highly doubt it will be done because it's "too much" QoL, please add the map favourites weighing in on the map reroll.

This post is written with utter, bitter hatred, as I now have my map tab full of maps I don't want to run.

Orb of Horizons is only worthless to you because you've passed the stage in your progress that they are worth using. Same with Orb of Binding, Blacksmith's Whetstone, Armourer's Scrap, Glassblower's Bauble...

They are not meant to be tools of farming, they are meant for progress and why they only convert to maps that exist in the atlas as their fixed initial tier, which by the way, would also be completely useless if it only had a 1% chance of it being the map i wanted to farm.

There are simply too many ways to sustain your maps adequately now, be it Singular Focus, Wandering Path or Favoured Maps. Your "hatred" is foolish and unwarranted.

horizon orbs can be used to exchange scarabs for a random new type of scarab.

2 x scarab (same tier and type) + horizon orb = 1 random (same tier) scarab

More useful than EVER using the horizon orb as it was originally intended

While I completely agree about the sustain part, my negativity spans from the fact that I am in possession of a resource that I should be able to use efficiently - that being a full tab of unwanted maps and a fat stack of horizon orbs.

I do have the benefit of being in a trade league, so I can potentially solve it, but imagine a ssf player in the same scenario, where they were sustaining their favourite maps all league last league, only to be met with a conversion into something they do not enjoy.

I took singular focus earlier, but that simply diminishes the amount of synthesis, guardian, conqueror maps that drop. Wandering path I will test, albeit I very much enjoy the atlas notables. As for Favoured maps, I have set it to 50/50 - Port and Strand. Running a base example of 30 maps has so far yielded me a grand total of 4 favourite maps - 3 ports and 1 strand.


And your first part does make sense, but there is also the fact that you can use orbs of binding to "alch spam" your maps, jewels or other items that do not have a socket but can be changed in rarity, so while that currency can have such late-game effect, why can't a Horizon orb transform a map into any t16 when we have 4 voidstones socketed ?

Horizon Orbs have only ever allow you to land on natural tier maps. That's why you can only get those maps.

As i said before, modifying orb of horizons to change into all t16s would result in even less desirable results than trading your surplus for what you want. On average, you would need 100 orbs to get your port or strand and i assure that would infuriate you worse.

Last league, sustaining maps was far too easy, so much so in fact, people were boss rushing and getting Eater/Exarch invitations each 10-15 minutes. They also nerfed Shaping the Seas, but that's classic GGG nuke nerf.

Favoured Maps should have a stronger impact, but doing so over orb of horizons that way wouldn't be the best way.
