Maybe you both wanna read the discussion in this thread.

There is also a thread in Feedback, too.

As far as i understand it, take a legacy map, open your atlas and select an undiscovered map (which are made visible by small blue circles) to put in your legacy map and activate it.

Thanks mate. Don't have time to look at them currently, but I will read them. I did notice it got changed in the patch notes, but I didn't look into further as I have been playing leagues recently, where it is not important.

When I was playing ruthless standard, it was terrible, this seems to not improve it, but actually make it worse.

It would seem that if you had no Voidstones, then the catch up mechanic will not work. You MUST have had a Voidstone previously for it to work.

My main account (this one) and an alt account both had Voidstones, so in both cases the catch up worked. My alt with no Voidstone previously did NOT work.

Yeah I think you might be right, I believe where I tried to do it was standard normal, where I don't play and have probably never got them.

Terrible system. Just implement something where players don't loose progress they have completed, and doesn't let players skip playing the game by getting carried past it or purchasing items to skip. There are many ways it can be done, nothing like anything that is being implemented. From what they are doing regarding this mechanic, I believe they both don't understand and agree that there is a problem with how it works. Cleary it did get through that something needed to be changed, but the solution completely misses the mark. This make it even worse for most players and is only a slight QOL improvement for players who play the game a lot, and would be able to use the old system or complete it easily anyway.
