Maps not dropping ?

So how is sustain for everyone else ?

I have been rolling with singular focus , all the fav slots unlocked + map scarab and get like 0 maps .

In 3 maps I got like 1 probably.

This is the only league I had to literally stop and buy maps cuz I rand out.

If loot is fine, why are this mechanics like singular focus so punishing if I want to run one map ?

Haven't had much problems this league, too be honest. But I'm not running Singular Focus. Did run Singular Focus last league, and I was struggling for a long time.

I only use singular focus when I'm running juiced delirium maps. Otherwise the map well seems dry because the few maps I do get are converted to currency.

Also, if the favored map is not connected, sustain is not so good.

I only have Dunes in all my slots.

Last league I ran with just crimson temples and actually sustain with scarabs was pretty good with singular focus. I actually managed to sell like 50-60 maps.

Now I had to stop and buy maps to go on .

I also have problems sustaining my maps. No matter if I occupy all 12 slots with a map or 11 and one for an adjacent map. "singular focus" doesn't change that much, but it should. If it is deactivated, random maps sometimes drop, as it should. In the end I only get a third back. So 1 out of 3 maps. If I empty all the fav slots, I get an average of 3 random maps per one map, which is normal.

In my opinion, the favorite map slots are bugged for some players.

I've been running extensive tests for the past 3 days and found that although I've unlocked all 12 fav slots, some aren't accounted for by the game.
This in turn may have something to do with the fact that I and some others here in the forum had bugs when unlocking the fav slots.

Once upon a time there was no voidstone. Then there was one but the fav slot wasn't unlocked. Then the fav slot was unlocked but the atlas passive skill point wasn't given etc. etc. I experienced everything myself when unlocking and the post in the forum from others who have the same and similar problems are increasing.
If you look back in the forum to February 2022, you can see that a lot of people were affected there. The months after that, posts about it again and again in the bug forum. And now since Kalandra, the number of posts here in the forum and on reddit has increased significantly.

I wrote a detailed message to the support about this, because nobody in the bug forum had replied to people's posts and the problems aren't on the official bug fixes agenda either. Unfortunately the support told me he couldn't help me and I should post it in the gameplay help subforum. But why? No one from support answered here.

I know my current map sustain is not normal because I have seen many videos and streams where people have run the same juiced maps as me and they have twice to three times as many map drops with the same circumstances and item quantity.

Switch one Favoured slot to a different map.

I did.
I did all you can did, but the maps wont drop if favoured. If i dont favour any map, i get 2-5 random maps per map.

Singular Focus is a double edged sword. It makes you drop more of your favourite map but it changes all other map drops into currency. It may look good on paper but it isn't always great. You are not dropping any map beside your favourite, which means if you have a bad luck streak not only will you not have your favourite maps, you will not even have other maps to vendor (3x maps of a tier give you 1 map of the next tier), or to change with harbinger orb or orb of horizons, or to trade for currency. Sure you may drop the odd divine now and then but it's kind of rng based. I do not really like that keystone, without it I have a good sustain anyway.

Dude, it is good on paper...I played last league with the node and didn't have any problems sustaining. I actually sold quite a few maps because I had too many.

Now with the recent nerfs to loot , I think it hit the maps dropped pretty hard.

Even with enough favorite map slots since loot is scarce the maps are scarce.

This is the only ideea I have.

Of course I could think about things being bugged but, it doesn't seem for many players that don't use singular focus, hence GGG won't do anything.

Thats what i think too.
I wrote an email to the support and also my assumption that my favorite map slots are bugged. I have adequately described it through the extensive tests I have done. But I was only directed to the gameplay subforum..
