T16 waystones

Last patch t16 waystones were around 1/10 corrupts now it's like 1/30 which is ridiculous, not to mention the scarcity of +1 maps in 0.2, this is making it unnecessarily difficult to access the top end gear. It feels kinda pointless to play, loot drops have been mostly useless regardless but now to even get access to that loot has been made too difficult. It's not fun or engaging to have to corrupt 30 t15's to get one measly t16.

Agreed, its incredibly hard to get t16s and they are the only way to get to lvl 82 maps.

Not only that, you need to have
-a t16 map
-boosted the area with +1 level from tower tablet
-Get extremely lucky that the corrupted/cleansed map has +1 level in area

This is rng on top of rng making it ridiculously hard to do lvl 82

i second this *bump*
Agreed, one of the most atrocious changes as it slows down leveling a lot for no real reason. With LV 82 maps one could farm up to character level 94 with a nice progression in 0.1 while now it feels like youre stuck forever around 90-91 without constantly buying omens and farming hundreds of LV 79-80 areas instead of a couple dozens 82.

Smells of Tencent
I do not really understand why T16 has to be from corrupting a t15 waystone. It seems like after you get the first one they should drop from that map and from doing bosses with t15 stones. Having to use vaal orbs for the chance at a t16 map feels horrible especially with how rare it is for the map to upgrade. Vaal orbs do not drop frequently enough to allow for sustaining t16 maps. Basically if there are going to be drops gated by a specific map level then that map level should be something that can be run in a sustainable way. The levels of RNG currently needed to even get a map at level 82 is very annoying.

And Doryani should sell T15 maps once you completed your first T16.
I've noticed that not only T16 maps are now impossible to get, but Divine Orbs no longer drop in T15 for me with my current setup having +108 rarity on the character equipment.

Prior to 0.2, running around with over +100 rarity seemed to be enough to get Div drops... and of course T16 maps were still stupidly rare, but not impossible to get like they are now.

They really need to just allow making T16 maps and introduce a T17... and do something about the [Removed by Support] 10% penalty which eventually means 1 death = 1 week's exp lost.

Somth is def off with MF and to me it feels like MF has the opposite effect.
Being on a map boosted to the waazu with 2 towers in range, the map itself has also MF and quantity. literally nothing worth mentioning drops.

grabing the next node, outside any tower, with a rare map without MF or quantity. divine drops.

and this happened several times to me.

yesterday i was on a map that blasted me with 7 uniques and a perfect jeweller orb. I was so confused and checked the modifiers again: with my MF plus map it was on 80%.

I stopped adding mf to towers, because it has no effect whatsoever.
