Changes to the Atlas of Worlds in Path of Exile: Delirium

performance changes WHEN?

Just give us orb of sealings again instead of this stupid update.

This does not fix people with properly set-up and uncompleted atlases being far more efficient due to far better map layouts dropping reliably especially since you even remove the chance to drop higher maps from the awakening bonus.

You are ridiculous, is this what your idea of balance is ? Where is your self proclaimed QA Tester team with thousands of hours ? Thousands of hours on the toilet maybe but surely not at the game since you have no idea of the game balance.

So you're not bringing back a way to block unwanted map drops. Well, fuck my life. Game's dead.

Ok, let's be blunt. Targeted map farming is dead, will stay, dead, and It is a good thing it is dead.

WTF, it was never dead. Not now, not before, not ever.

The only difference now is that people are rolling second account just to shape their atlas in order to target farm one map they want to farm, while other people that have messed their atlas or are unaware of it - can't change it, because they've got no access to the unshaping orbs or/and knowledge to prepare the second atlas on the second account in a specific way and/or time to do that.

Funny thing is that this is the only reason why GGG has introduced the unshaping orbs in the first place when we've got the old atlas and now they're repeating the same mistake again. It's like they never learn.

3,9 was the first league I didn't feel punished for not going a 'grind one map only' strategy.

I keep hearing this exact argument from people who don't want anyone else to be able to customize their atlas anymore, but I don't understand it.

Ever since Shaper's Orbs became a thing, we've had this ability, and I've run a multitude of different atlas strategies across several leagues. I've adjusted the tiers and layouts based on the strengths and weaknesses of my characters. Not once have I felt like I had to run a one map strategy.

In what way exactly did you feel "punished" for not grinding one map only?

I wish GGG would discuss these plans with up first at earlier stages and get feedback at THAT stage instead of making us all the last to know things. We could save them a lot of time and work. Though it would require a tiny bit smaller ego on their part. Guess that's out of the question especially with the army of fanboys ever ready to praise any decision so long as GGG made it.

WORSE drop rates?! No consideration for people who like to run specific maps, no mention of how over reliant this design is on trade, SSDD. God I wish I was addicted to a game with devs that played their own game occasionally.

Nothing like a de facto monopoly. (The ONLY arpg with this economic model.)

Tone deaf and greedy and griefy, the GGG way.

P.S. Yes I have positive opinions too but who needs me to share those with critical voices out numbered 100 to one? (In part by heavy handed fanatical moderation both here and on Reddit.)

If you wanna read about how wonderful GGG is just look above and below this post.

To be honest map drops should be kept as they were, I hope Delyrium really compesates for the loss or it will suck a lot.

This bar is segmented into either 5, 7 or 9 sections

By the way, this means something like 20 - 36 maps minimum to proc the Conquerors + 4 Conquerors fights to finaly get a Sirus ticket and lose it all if the fight bugs or the server lags or UNEXPECTED DISCONNECTION

Wonderful.

Sounds good to me, I had a few dry spells where it was more than 10 maps to get a conqueror to proc and more than 50 maps to get to Sirius.

Conqueror changes are nice, of course.

Awakening Level changes seem tone deaf and unnecessary. There's really no need to fiddle with anything in that space. Why make changes that no one was asking for?

I tried. I really did. I hate the new way of mapping. I hate not being able to seal away maps that aren't fun. I hate playing a game and not having fun. I really thought you guys might offer a compromise but this post confirms it isn't true. I haven't played for weeks and I won't be playing the new expansion or spending any more money. Endgame just isn't fun for me anymore. Thanks for a good 7 year ride.

Good luck.
