Vaaling old series maps should NOT have a chance to convert them to current series

Vaaling a current series map has the following outcome:

1. Nothing happens
2. Reroll the map with 4-6 modifiers
3. Map becomes 8 mod
4. Map becomes Vaal Temple
5. Map becomes Unid

I just vaal'd 156 t16 Cemetery maps (3.20 maps)

Vaaling an older series map (3.20 etc) has the following outcomes:

1. Nothing happens
2. Reroll the map with 4-6 modifiers
3. Map becomes 8 mod
4. Map becomes Vaal Temple
5. Map becomes Unid
6. Map becomes a current 3.21 series natural map (Arsenal, Coves, Dig, Volcano)

Of the 156 maps I vaal'd

1 + 2 = 38
3. Map becomes 8 mod = 35
4. Map becomes Vaal Temple = 6
5. Map becomes Unid = 33
6. Map becomes a current 3.21 series = 44

28% of my maps just got ruined for my farming strat.

GGG, this is not fair. Please remove the 6th option for vaaling maps. This should not be happening.

It's bad enough the convert map tab process is currently terrible, but vaaling maps should not have this additional outcome.

hmmm...no, valling anything has unpredictable outcomes, if you are not comfortable with potentially ruining items (maps included) maybe don't use vall orbs?

I don't think you understood the post.
You should read it again and re-consider your response.
Yes, it is rather irritating for a map to be converted to the current generation of map. It is an inconsistent outcome. One cannot vaal a current generation map and create an older generation of that map, for example.

bump - please change this functionality.

You might not care, but the players do.
Still wanting a fix for this.
Still waiting, any communication on this would be great.

There should not be a unique interaction with maps like this, when it doesn't occur in league.

vaaling maps should not be turned into new natural series maps.
This bricks 33% of them.

Nonsense, Vaaling a current series map doesn't make it become a Vaal Temple (Map). At least not in general. It can increase the tier by one but Tier 16 maps are already max tier, so they get the special Vaal Temple Map instead.

For some reason you count that double for old maps but not for new maps.

The question should be: why the maps on tier-up also switch series. The answer will most likely be: technical reasons because the series is no longer there so the game would need to keep track for each series which maps are available in which tiers.
