[Suggestion] Atlas Tree + Atlas = ?

Currently we have an Atlas Tree and the Atlas map it self, but what would happen if we combine these into a single system?

Going into a map and killing the boss will allow you to interact with an altar where you could select a bonus (allocate an atlas tree point).

This re-opens the possibility of regions, choke points (bosses), and a final goal (end game bosses and their uber versions) all mapped out.

This means:
- No more Atlas Passive Tree (https://poeplanner.com/atlas-tree)
- You get the Atlas Passive Tree bonuses by completing maps in the Atlas of Worlds (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Atlas_of_Worlds)
- Newer players can progress through the game whilst gaining the bonuses they want. It's like killing two birds with one stone.

You mean separate atlas tree for each map?

This sounds both like the previous map system, and an awful nightmare to use, and an impossible scale bloat for development.

No, I mean the atlas tree (https://poeplanner.com/atlas-tree/) is inside the Atlas of Worlds (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Atlas_of_Worlds#/media/File:Atlas_of_Worlds.png) and you get the Atlas Tree passives by killing the map respective map bosses.

I don't think so. I'm talking about combining the current Atlas of Worlds (end game maps) with the Atlas Tree passives. So each time you complete a map, you also gain bonuses.

This would add meaning to killing bosses. It would also make it very clear on how to progress in the game.

... but hey! It's just a suggestion. I'm sure devs can take the idea... polish it a bit and give it a test run.
