SHRINES and STRONGBOXES before and after the update

Anyone noticed the reduced amount of Shrines and Strongboxes found in their maps after the update? Could this be related to the "buffed" tablets?

I have all nodes related to Shrines and Strongoxes in the Atlas Tree. Before the update, I'm always having 2-4 shrines and strongboxes to most maps. These maps did not have any tablet mods; just mediocre waystones. After the update, it's 0-1, lucky if I find 2 (no tablet mods related to shrines and strongboxes, but who would run that constantly?).

I also noticed just now (after the update) that Seepage never spawned any Shrines and Strongboxes for me. Maybe someone could verify it.

Edit:
I browsed through the patch notes again and didn't see any direct point about its nerfs.

Essences as well but yes.

Also less abyssal depths and coffers from what I can tell.

They did a huge nerf to drops overall. Feels like I'm just hoping for a single big drop now and can't rely on any steady way to farm currency.

Yeah drops are not same i can tell. Yesterday did a full juiced delirium %112rarity map with total of %371 rarity + %60 quant and i only got 1 Fractured Orb. Not a single divine or valueable thing dropped.

Before patch i found 4 strongboxes per map without any tablets.

After patch with 3 strongbox tables that give 40% more strongboxes found and all strongbox atlas passives allocated i find 0-1 strongboxes per map.

More often 0 then 1 WTF.

Been mapping for 5 hours already. My main post still stands - shrines and strongboxes at 0-1, with rare 2 shrines/boxes in 1 map, even with max Atlas Points.

Is this how GGG really rolls? Still quite new to POE, no idea if this kind of patches with 'shadow updates' are normal for them to do. It's also not much talked about so far as everyone's focused on Quants/Rarity.

Edit:
Also, Runed Monoliths seemed to be rarer as well. I noticed it just now, since I found one in my map (after 6 hours).

Same story with Azmeri spirits, only 1 per map, don't matter how many passives or tablets you stack.

I think all content broken after path.

Shrines
Strongboxes
Essences
Azmeri Spirits
Abyssal Depths
Runed Monoliths



These are reduced so far (without mention in the patch notes(?)), presumably to make way for the added tablet mods? But I really do the Atlas Tree is bugged/broken, as the commenter above mentioned.

I also feel like delirium bosses are spawn way less often and I am generally getting way fewer splinters, anyone else feeling this?

I noticed this, too. I feel like the atlas passive tree is broken. There were nodes that were already broken for a while, like "The High Road", so I wouldn't be surprised if other nodes like "Likely Ambush" are broken now, too.
