Our view on map drop rates
" how does buying a map solves the problem of badly designed end game content? i can buy a map,i can even multibox for more drops but that doesnt help beta feedback btw its my 3rd time doing this for maps,i have already run out of them 2 times before despite running multiple 70%+ rare maps some of my IGNs:

I managed to get to high level maps last night, and some lower ones. I am very happy. 63->65->66, won't post the lower ones. But I haven't ran a 65 and 66 in quite some time
Thank you. |

Finished 10 yellow map. It is what it is.

lvl62 60% - medium - no map lvl61 56% - easy, chains - 1 map 60 lvl60 74% - easy, 25% mrm - 2 maps 61 62 lvl62 49% - easy, 22% mrm, 34% pack size - 3 maps 61 62 62, 1 chisel lvl62 24% - easy, 23% mmm, 48% pack size - 2 maps 60 62 lvl62 48% - medium, 12% mmm, chains - no map lvl62 63% - easy - 2 maps 60 62 lvl62 63% - medium, 27% mrm, chains - no map lvl61 50% - easy - no map lvl61 36% - easy, 23% mmm, 41% larger - 1 map 60 mmm = more magic monsters, mrm = more rare monsters Easy, medium and hard refer to how challenging I found the map for my particular character. Easy - nothing can kill you, medium - you can die if not careful, hard - you will most likely die. |

I also wondered if I should annoy people by saying I got 5 maps out of a 30% cemetary map, before this patch.
Not long before that I had an 8 map dry run, most maps were over 60%, one was over 100. B. The Preceding message contains discretion.

after farming for hours upon hours and not getting a single map drop i finally bought one from someone just so i could end the monotony. something needs to be done about maps. there's no reason i should be barred from the endgame just because i have shitty luck. why not just have Vaal (or whoever the act 3 boss will be) have a 100% drop rate for a white lvl 60 map?

...or make it a quest reward for killing vaal

Ran around 15 maps tonight, had a dry run of 8 or 9 maps. All maps were either over 60% (had 2 over 100%) or had more magic or rare monsters.
I swear there is something wrong with the calculation. I never got a map from my high % maps but the last map I run (+magic monsters, + size) virtually no quantity I get 2. I have 2 maps to show from 15 run, I have 5 maps left (3 level 60, 2 level 61). This is very unrewarding and so out of tune with the majority of the game. Fix this. RIP Bolto

" This is an awful solution because the map drops have to be balanced for ladder races, not just general play. I can speak from personal experience, in the week race last week I was ready to do maps on day 3, but couldn't find any nor was anyone trading them. From the chatter in global chat it seems that maps are dropping easier. I'm up to 51 on my practice character (after the week race I'm taking it slow) so I'll get to experience how it is first hand in a day or two. But I've already found a map and that was fresh into act 2 so already looking good. Finished 17th in Rampage - Peaked at 11th
Finished 18th in Torment/Bloodline 1mo Race - peaked at 9th Null's Inclination Build 2.1.0 - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1559063 Summon Skeleton 1.3 - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1219856 |
