major end game design flaw (map drop rates / currency dump)

map drop rates make no sense at all. end game content shouldn't be dependant on rng.

amen

do you want a new item or do you want to gain exp and lvls? you can only pick one lol

rng over a long period evens out but that does not mean you can expect to map without paying some sort of cost.

i agree to ops post, end game sucks. I am only level 83 and have spent more currency on maps than anything else and I always roll 60+ iiq maps

Yeah, agree with the OP, I chiseled, alched and chaos my highest map, a 72 Waste Pool. Got maze, 35% more rare monstser on it with 78% quantity and all I got from that map was a single lvl 68 map.


This is my next highest map, I'm going to wait till the next patch hits before running it in the hopes that GGG would increase the chance of getting equivalent or higher level maps. I feel that map drops in maps should be within 2 lvls of the map which gives you a fighting chance of pushing to the higher lvls.



I should get something out of this right guys?

More like:

Do you want to run low level map for "fun" and grind some more currencies, or do you want to sink in your currencies and try your luck. You can only do one at a time, but you have to do both.

PvP is tru end-game

This is really the most important part. The actual content of the game being limited in some way is just horrible design.

Theres a common issue with F2P games were content is restricted in some way by money. While that is obviously not the case in this game, I still get the same shitty feeling with the way the map system is designed. I'm still being restricted from fully playing the game, but in this case its actually worse because I don't even have the option of paying to experience it entirely unless I get into the blackmarket.

I'm about sick of this game now thanks to dealing with maps. So tired of wasting most of my currency to roll maps and then getting crap in return. It's like I'm being penalized for wanting to get to a higher level. I'm only level 79 and can't imagine how bad it will be later on.

Drop rates for solo players need to go up please consider this !
