Early mapping in PoE2 is exceptionally boring
I have finished roughly 50 maps after finishing campaign. And I wanted to say that was very boring experience.
There are a few things I dislike: - In 50 maps I have only upgraded 1 essence wheel on the atlas tree. And it was not a strong buff, I cannot even guarantee it spawning to farm it without juicing. Meanwhile in PoE 1 you can farm any content you want consistently simply by using "alch and go" and still farming the mechanic you like. If it was PoE 1 with 50 points of atlas skills, I could guarantee the mechanic I like to spawn on every map and buff it significantly. In PoE 2 same number of maps provides you with one very generic wheel. - Precursor's tablets are similar to scarabs but I only dropped 2 of them during my mapping, and those even were not for mechanics I would like to farm. So once again, since you can't invest into it on atlas passive tree you are obliged to trade for them, if you want to farm a certain mechanic even with the lowest possible investment. - No atlas device crafting to farm what you want either. - In this timeframe I played 1-7 tier maps. And through this time, I could not even upgrade any of the special wheels for specific mechanics, because they require higher tiers of maps. It just was too boring to go further, and I was not even sure how much more I had to play to buff it even a little bit. In conclusion: you can't consistently farm content you like and even if you do, it will take you a long time before you get even the first upgrade. This is why I dropped PoE 2 endgame even though I enjoyed campaign quite a lot (even if I dislike the new crafting system and my minions were constantly getting stuck).
