Feedback and Suggestions - EDIT: Atlas is saved. - Forum

" Ygidua wrote: I actually enjoy the new Atlas, the old was boring and you had no variety. It was just running 1 map all the time. The elder and shaper influence drove me nuts, as I couldn´t progress without trading if maps did not drop. Now I can pretty much play whatever I want, while progressing. Yes, it´s slower to the top, but it´s much more enjoyable. This thread is not about the progression to the 32 watchstone endgame (although I could probably rant a it about that as well). It is about what you can do after you complete the entire atlas. On the old atlas you still had the option of running many different maps. In fact, with the old elder influence, that was encouraged in order to move influence around. In the new atlas you don't even get the option of running just a few maps you enjoy. You are literally forced to run a multitude of different maps, whether you like the layouts or not. I fail to see how this could possibly be better.

What I find really bizarre about this system is that while progressing you're presented with all these cool new tools that you can control the map drop pool with, but then once you reach the end, it tries extremely hard to incentivize you NOT to use them and just socket everything. Cognitive dissonance is the term to describe it, I think.	Posted by Derptime#0559 on Dec 30, 2019, 12:04:12 PM Quote this Post

"33% chance to spawn a conqueror..." 3 hours later grinding red maps still nothing so.. what the fuck it's 33% or 3%? and the bonuses on the "conqueror influenced maps" another joke.. 30% feels like 3% never got any influenced item from normal mobs ever.. even I got several shaper guardian maps first and yet have to get any influenced items from maps the atlas is bugging that's why conquerors don't spawn you need to run a white map in the zone to unbug it	Posted by apexmateria1#2307 on Dec 30, 2019, 5:21:32 PM Quote this Post

I came up with a new and improved cartographer's seal that would make the atlas fun again. Read the updated original post for more details. Last edited by carkasjak#7673 on Jan 7, 2020, 4:58:18 AM	Posted by carkasjak#7673 on Jan 7, 2020, 4:46:09 AM Quote this Post
Agreed, I want to run maps for my playstyle/build, I want my freedom back.	Posted by LuigiRocks#1791 on Jan 7, 2020, 5:23:37 AM Quote this Post

HUGE +1 I'm getting tired of being forced - league after league - into some s*tty meta build which I never had anything to do with. Give our freedom back ASAP! Regards.

" Johny_Snow wrote: poe.ninja says otherwise. There is more diversity than in Legion. Cherry picking a league where its challenge mechanic favored certain skills, ie. Essence Drain, or Cyclone that hugely benefited from melee rework released in the same patch, and was overtuned, makes for bad argument. What does poe.ninja says about how many builds are successfully running high-end maps and killing end-game bosses? I bet the diversity is not great at that end.
