How Atlas Objectives Work

How does this affect shaping our atlas?

I mean, if they can spawn in maps that we don't complete it's gonna suck, it should be made that only can spawn in maps already completed otherwise you're totally screwing us up.

Also, what's with the icons in the picture.

I'm guessing the skull in the bow is a Einhar Mission.
The Red and green aztecy one is obviously Alva.
The clockworkish one on the far right is probably Zana.
I'd guess the blue one in the bottom is Nico.

So whats the golden wings/claws, or the Iron studded ring?

Hmm. Another thing SSF players are locked out because we can't trade for the right maps - now we're even locked out of the daily buyable maps from Zana if we don't have her daily map. No happy Hype here.

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?

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.

Well they said Bestiary core content need to capture Red and Yellow beasts.

The skull with bow is red and the other is yellow (with a bird and monster claw) so i guess...both are Bestiary?

Only remains the big gear one, only possibilty is Jun (Betrayal is in all content so it must include endgame maps).
