Atlas Changes in 3.10.0

With these further explanations i am fine - thank you.

I also don't think that there are problematic map mods becaues they can be rerolled. If I corrupt a map and get a mod that my build can't run i accept this as (annoying) part of the game.

It's also great to read, that Atzoatl will be improved mapwise. It was really strange to drop like 3 white maps in Office of Cartography and 3 white and one yellow in Atlas of Worlds and that all the time.

What i really don't like is the reset of the Atlas each and every time league ends. We could bring everything back by playing one legacy t16 in the past. The solution to bring back everything to t15 by playing one current t16 is somehow meh. I don't get the point in having to play all the t16 maps once again.

When you do something that we can targetfarm again, everything is ok.

But atm i have hunderts of maps in Metamorph.. and most of them im not going to run because of bad layout/density

I sell these or throw an Orb of Horizons on it. Worked really good for me.

Next league please giff mirror drop to me.. I didn't get mirror need mirror pls.. ty.

Willfull and intentional misunderstanding of what the problem with Temple and Delve Cities is, complete denial of people who have correctly set-up atlases and not completed every map being far more efficient and once again hating on player having access to content.

People had T14s left ? Oh no i thought that was the ENTIRE POINT of the damn new atlas system where you aim for your atlas giving you as many T16s as possible and you run T15s if you dont have T16s anymore but can ignore anything below.

Once again GGG intentionally misinforms people, hates people having access to content instead of admitting that their maps are just way too easy and makes dumb decisions.

I am not sure whether I am alone in this: I have one or two regions where I have one T16 map which is a blight map, and no T15, and one T14. When I finish that T14 map, nothing drops, and I am forced to farm, as a level 99 character, t7 maps which are the next available ones. So much for "being flooded with maps" and "having a huge excess cache of T14 maps".

No, you are not alone, there is more of us unlucky suckers with almost no map sustain/progress.
Even if I fully juice up my T12 maps I usually get max one T11/T12 map, often not even that.

Meanwhile for the majority of the people map drops are good and some are even flooded with them.

It sucks to be at the "bad end" of the probability curve. Deal with it.
I dealt with it by pretty much not playing this game...

In the concept of map mods.

IMHO mods shouldn't lower character's survivability. And we shouldn't have noregen, reflect, etc in the explicit.
Think all this mods should be in the implicits (using vaal orbs)
And normal mods should have modifiers, like "you deal #% less physical damage",
"you cannot regen life, mana and ES, while Moving",
"Area is inhabited by Skeletons, Skeletons are agressive" (like FF gem)
"Ailments are #% less effective" (including damage)
"monsters spawn volatile on death"
This way maps should have 6 explicits and 2+ impl.
We should have a way to finish any non corrupted map.

This comment is irrelevant, cause it won't be seen anyway :(

ALL cities in delve, as well as the temple, MUST go back to dropping maps as they were pre-bug.

For me map sustain was just right in Metamorph.
I had no excess, Cities and Temple felt rewarding.
I worry that more maps than in 38, but less than 3.9 will break my sustain.
The next few months will tell. I hope this won't suck (probably will).

You say you want Temple and Delve Cities to feel good again and that this is one of the reasons you remove the map bonus. But for that idea to work out you have to "fix" them first. As it is now, when you are at AL8 and run cities/temples you will often get empty lootboxes and that, above all else, is what makes them feel bad in terms of map rewards. Thankfully they weren't needed, but being unnecessary isn't the reason why they felt bad. Map drops not present on your atlas being deleted makes them feel bad. If you want to fix this you have to adjust this first.

I know there is some equity counter in the back that's supposed to compensate for that, but even knowing that it still feels bad getting nothing out of a city. And i'd expect 90% of the playerbase, even the ones here in the forum/reddit don't even know about that mechanic because you never mentioned it in any of the patch notes. There was like one reddit topic where it was mentioned, anyone who didn't happen to stumble across that topic has no way of knowing.

"If there are any other problematic mods other than ailments, please let us know and we'll look at those too."

Huh... shouldn't YOU as the developers know what other mods exist and could be problematic? :D

Unrelated question, how does the transfer to standard and the atlas reset work?
Did I get this right? I currently have 154/154 Bonus objectives, when my character is moved to standard this will be 0 / 154? Oo

WHY? Isn't the point of standard to KEEP one's progress? Resetting stuff is what new leagues are for, no?

well 3.10 is dead on arrival

yep.

i've bought division 2 and having a lot of fun.
will keep me busy for spring.

at this point, i disagree with ggg ideologically. so much is wrong with this game that i will not even bother to name all things. the game has many outdated rudimental elements, disrespects player's time and situation is becoming worse every league. not worth playing at this moment.
