How Atlas Objectives Work

This is going to really mess with other Atlas strategies. This is fine for players that just run whatever map they want and push for high completion, but currently, the Atlas does NOT reward you for completion. It rewards you for running the same maps repeatedly with Elder/Shaper influence carefully boxed in properly, shaping maps, and stripping out maps that mess with your map drop pool.

New system sounds great, but only if completing Atlas Objectives only spawn on maps you've completed, don't affect Shaper/Elder influence, and don't consume sextants.

Thing is... GGG have been trying to drive people away from doing that for quite a while no. They have no reason to make it the way you propose and all the reasons to make it otherwise. Though I guess they are on top of shaper/elder influence, as it would probably mess up too much if they tried to make it any other way. I'm rather convinced that it'd be kind of another layer of sextant mods. Only that you can't activate them deliberately with items.




Four masters, six objective types... Incursion, Bestiary and Zana are quite obvious. The one on the bottom looks too bright blue to be delve, harbinger maybe? Then is delve the one on the top left? It resembles a crawler wheel... But what is the yellow one? I know only one league that was yellow/gold af and had at least something to do with beasts with claws and wings (though that is a bit of a stretch). And I doubt it's that one... but if it is then BOY are some people gonna be hyped.

Also, what's up with all the scarabs? Did someone of you have a trip to Egypt recently?

It sounds pretty decent to me :)

This league will be huge !

I really hope you're improving map availability, especially at higher tiers. I'm not looking forward to my master missions being locked behind maps that won't drop. It's terrible enough with Shaper and Elder farming already.

waaaaaaaaaaaat

What about zana's map mods. How does someone obtain "Perandus" for example if there is no more leveling?

Hm, why is there a red map outside the red map circle, without the shaped border?

Also, there are five masters: Einhar, Alva, Niko, Zana, and Jul; but there are six different atlas objective icons. What are we missing?

Shaped Map? Navali?

hope master daily don't appear on uncompleted maps

So again, the rich get richer, and you design systems for people who don't have jobs and families.

Hahahaha, yes. Let's make a game which is less rewarding the more you play it. That would be a great motivater, uberlawl. I am a casual too (spending 2 hours a day tops), but your complaint is unjustified and completely preposterous.

Again with the scarabs!!!
