Map bosses are the only way to get a map that is two levels above the area you're in.


THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!

THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!


so just roll blue double boss map. and thats should be for the elite players?


just rofl!"

Did you already test and see what the new map drop rates actually are? It might even be easier to get to 77-78 maps than before and I don't think it's unfair that 79-82 are rarer (as long as they are not too rare, like 50+ 79 maps for one 80 map).

Also, read the patch notes next time before posting:

Map bosses have also been increased in difficulty, but drop more items than before. Each map boss also has a flat 20% chance to drop an additional map. This does not apply multiple times for maps that have multiple bosses, nor does it double up when a map boss is twinned.

We'd like to thank all of The Awakening's Closed Beta testers who provided consistently useful feedback over the last few months.

That feedback was then ignored as we did what we were going to do anyway, enjoy that new EB guys!

I think it means that Dread Thicket only spawns 50% of the time when you create an instance of Northern Forest.
