Blight: Atlas Passives do not work in Blighted Maps and this is terribly confusing.

This reddit post brought it up and I felt the need to bring it here.

Blighted maps being called maps but not having the atlas passives apply to them despite generically calling out 'maps' is just confusing as heck, and feels disingenuous after figuring this out.

I get that a majority of content doesn't actually interact with the atlas passives:
Quoting a couple posts on this one...

"

Heist nodes only work in maps, not in heists
Legion nodes only work in maps, not in 2-3-4-5-ways
Breach nodes only work in maps, not in Breachlord Domains (not sure about the new ones though, haven't looked at them yet)
Incursion nodes only affect incursions in maps, not in the temple itself
Delve atlas nodes only work in maps, not in the Mines
Bestiary atlas nodes only work in maps, not in the Menagerie
Betrayal atlas nodes only work in maps, not when ransacking safehouses/fighting Catalina
Uberlab atlas nodes only work in maps, not when you're actually running Uberlab
Delirium atlas nodes only work in maps, not in Simulacrum
Metamorph atlas nodes only work in maps, not in Tane's Lab

Where it gets confusing is that blighted maps are still called maps, look like maps, craft like maps, have mods like maps, share tiers and names with maps.
Shaper/Elder/Conquerer maps all work with atlas passives and are visually/craftingly similar to Blighted maps.

I mean, if it looks like one, tastes like one, smells like one and feels like one... I mean, it must be one, right?


If making atlas passives effect Blighted Maps is not feasible, would it be possible change how Blighted Maps are presented? For example: 'Purification Site/Mission' rather than just 'Blighted Shore'

I completely agree , it's very confusing i changed my whole tree around to maximize the drops just to realize after one blighted map that nothing works.

Doesn't surprise me, they were probably made into sort of fragments on purpose so that they couldn't be put in the map tab (at the time they wanted to sell a Blight tab and one of the ways they wanted to do that was to make a new tab the place where Blighted Maps go).
