I still think map drops are fine - boost drops and good players can do 79++ all day long

Thanks Bex! Much appreciated.

When the community speaks out as strongly as we are on this particular issue, GGG is smart to listen.

Hey guys!

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about these issues. I've shared your feedback with the development team and there's an ongoing discussion about it. This also includes checking player's accounts and comparing their gameplay with their feedback on their experiences.

I can't confirm the results of the discussions yet, but I just wanted to let you know that the discussion is being had.

Hmph.

Thanks again Bex! The map drop rates are near and dear to my heart as they essentially ARE THE GAME.


Personally, I have sunk several EX in crafting mats a day into my maps rolling very high rolls. Some combination of 80+ quant pack size magic and rare monsters. I have easily run 50 or 78 maps like this and I have only had 10 79's drop. I have had the bosses drop more -10 level maps than 0 to +2 combined and I do almost all the bosses.

For the lower level maps I just chisel alc and roll for decent quant and magic / rare or good pack size. And +1 maps still feel rare and +2 even more so.

I spend more currency if you count the map base value than I acquire and the only reason I gain xp is because I play a very tanky build.


If + level map drops are going to be so heavily moderated then there needs to be a floor. For example, if +1 maps can only drop off rare magic and bosses then rare and magic should only drop +0-1 maps and bosses should only drop +1-2 maps. One of the most irritating things in this game is to be running a 78 boss like dom and have him drop a 68 map.

Thank you for this post. A lot of my frustration about the map issues stems from you guys being so silent about it. Even if you ultimately decide to go against what I and others have been arguing for, it's nice knowing our feedback hasn't gone seemingly ignored.

Wait till you get to the mid 90's... You'll start feeling the pain of 1-2% EXP per 78 map. Let's just say I've spent more than a stack of exalts buying maps/chaos/chisels for just 1 level.
