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

Fix zana maps not giving awakening completion please.

I have almost 550+ hrs from this league alone (definitely not healthy) and dropped more money than I would on any game I've played for 2 months, simply because I was actually able to see end game content. Not too sure how map sustain was before, but this change will likely cause me to have a life again. My wife says thanks!

This will result in Atlas map completion being reset on Standard league. You will retain your Unique Map completion. Completing a high-tier map will complete all maps one tier below the map that you completed. For example, completing a Tier 15 Map will complete all maps up to Tier 14.

I'd like to comment on this for a moment.

i'm a ssf standard player. i dont mind that i have to complete my t15's again, however whats very annoying every single league is that this is completly pointless. why complete all maps up to 14 if i have to run all red maps corrupted anyway to get the full bonus?
they are only completed while the atlas objective is not. this is very frustrating to me. whould it be possible to save the amount of bonus objectives completed and apply it randomly if the t15 that was completed is corrupted or something? cheers

So on standard we will lose all our watchstones? What's the point of having completed maps if we need to re-do everything to get the watchstones. Standard becomes impossible to play like this. We have to get 32 stones in the league and then repeat everything to get 32 on standard. This is ridiculous.

yep, i'd like to return to a few old builds once in a while, but resetting the atlas every league, converting maps that sometimes get eaten by bugs... no, thanks.

oh what???

Is that confirmed that we have to get all watchstones again?

That is insane... redoing the whole atlas to get the watchstones was the biggest pain in the ass this whole league. Please, not again. I play standard to avoid these shenadigans.

this shit is what will kill the game for me. my standard atlas should be 100% complete ALL THE TIME. i should NEVER have have to redo anything on it, ever. it should never reset. pretty sure ggg would be happy if standard just disappeared. the amount of times standard has been fucked do to zero testing of new shit. i mean how the fuck did they manage to not notice the map tab issues last league. whomever was in charge of that i hope was fired for gross incompetence. its like a carpenter pointing out where the bathroom is but they didnt put a door in so you could get to it. completely fucking useless.

yeah no wonder how metamorph went core and this changes happened.

now I know where this "we have been reading your feedback alot" means where it comes from.

nerft map drop rate? what the ...? what the point of having low map drop rate? Map seller not getting rich?

"This will result in Atlas map completion being reset on Standard league."

Meh so all the grinding will be for nothing now. I guess everyone just plays league anyway - it just kills the sense of progression.
Also no real incentive to expand the atlas until Delirium comes out.

How about patching Tane not to spawn and obscure in the middle of the action? Or to block doorways, items and portals with his huge clickable shape?
Also having him teleport in every few seconds and reminding you of the samples is kinda annoying.

If you're implying people from reddit wanted this, you'll be surprised to learn that the majority of responses to these Atlas changes in regards to map sustain has been negative. Redditors don't want this any more than people on the forum do.

I am not interested in grinding all that watchstone crap again. I did it once, and promised myself I'd never do it again.

I'm going to run my stash of guardian and shaper maps and then I'm done.

Am I missing something? People talking about wanting to be able to shape the Atlas... Well, now we can shape any region/regions all the way to T16. Isnt this better? For me it was. Really trying to understand the complaint. Am I missing something?

Has is it got something to do with having say less T16 maps so you can have a smaller T16 map drop pool and force the map you want?

I'm thinking, this is what people mean?

But, don't we do that anyway even now just by region instead? I mean, Ive been forcing my tiers all Metamorph based on which region I put watchstones in and which not. I keep a Region I want to progress or has maps I liked to play all "shaped" to higher tiers. Isnt that the same thing with just a larger pool of maps to drop from?

Not being a troll. Just trying to understand the reasoning.

I mean if what I am saying above is correct, then the whole argument here is that people are angry that from, what was it 5 t16 maps before? Now they have x4 the maps on average with around 20maps capable of dropping per region? (Roughly, I just done 155 /8 regions). I mean its has dropped the percentage sure, but... is it really that bad to not be able to specifically drop just said few maps as frequently ans as controlled? Is that what the complaint is about?

Im baffled.

Each to their own I guess if this is the case. I personally get bored as hell running the same map all the time. But just curious if this is the complaint or if I am missing something else in all this. Personally I enjoy the Conqueror Atlas way more than the whole influence mechanic. I never really liked the Elder Atlas tbh. I guess I am in the minority if I like this end game way better now. Honestly, sorry but I am having way more fun with it :(
