happy to see maps drop nerfed, drop rate was highest ever, to see a t16 map dropped was like to drop an alchemy orb, zero excitement

there is no way this atlas endgame could ever be good as old atlas because of sirius fight.... i can push difficulty in maps very high with a good reward and i like it

what a bullshit post .... ppl like you gave the "overwhelming feedback" for stuff that was actually good for the game.

i hate having to lose 20 mins trying to find a map in trade because of some price controlling pricks.

You have too many maps?! go vendor them and stfu.

We'll also be removing the "x% chance for Maps to drop one tier higher" bonus from Awakening Bonus Objectives.

This move is incredibly stupid... I mean, now you have to play a shit ton of hours to grind for maps and complete your atlas. For casual players like me, that plays a few hours per day, this a dick move, let me be honest...

I want to progress in my atlas as fast as I can if a play a few hours, not to feel stuck in T10 maps because I cannot get a single T11 after burning 10982390812 maps.

With every league, it is more and more clear that having fun is not allowed here.

Haha, nerd! You don't play this game as your full-time job like everyone else? Might as well give up, since that's the only demographic they target, design, and balance the entire game around.

3. DO NOT NERF MAP DROPS: Map sustain in 3.9 was incredibly awesome. ALL of the previous leagues you would plateau at T10 maps and hit a RNG wall requiring you to buy higher tier maps to start snowballing your map pool. 3.9 eliminated this problem by dropping maps very frequently. You should leave this alone and keep it as it is in 3.9. People do NOT want to experience the map pool dry out at T10, it is very discouraging and you've probably lost a lot of player retention because of it in previous leagues.

1. Multiplying the grind to spawn Sirus is a huge mistake.

You're changing it from RNG to deterministic yet multiplying the amount of maps required. This is essentially not changing anything as the median number of maps required to spawn Sirus in 3.9 with RNG included is now essentially the same as you're now changing it to.

2. You are actually discouraged from finishing maps completely as you're only farming taunts.

Are you going to address the issue where I can just zone into a map, clear a few packs, check for the taunt and then leave the map without finishing it? This is what people were doing in 3.9, myself included. I would open a white T14 map, spawn influence, leave immediately, then run tier 1 white maps doing the same method of joining/leaving without finishing just to proc the citadel. This is a major problem with end game. It feels like you're just farming citadel procs and not actually enjoying the end game.

MAJOR POINT: There is no incentive to farm Sirus by running pure T16 maps. This is the biggest problem. The end game should be, farming T16 maps all the way through to spawning Sirus. Each map should 100% proc the taunt/influence. Require 3 maps per citadel, requiring a total of twelve T16 maps to spawn Sirus. That is more than fair. Require that you kill the map boss to get completion would also be fair.
