On the plus side, +100% map drop rate is the kind of thing that i like to see although I'm worried it's going to end up completely counteracted by some seriously misled GGG changes | ||

in general im casual in terms of poe so id probably end up doing whatever maps i get and inadvertently filling out my atlas in reality unless you are going for the new monkey pet challenge there seems to be absolutely no reason to use the atlas unless you arent aware of what it really does ultimately i cant wait for the retrospective news post i just want to play my stupid meme build i planned out for the new league so it doesnt bother me that much i guess xd | ||

The adding mods to a group of maps part is kinda cool and totally a reason to use it, as is the pumping up one map to +5 tier. It's not a bad concept considering how awful the maps system is now, its just that it doesn't really address that so much as punish players for just playing. | ||

So they made it account-wide, not realizing that without substantial adjustment that would be an awful idea that would also result in a not-insubstantial amount of tedium. Also, the "completing a map without pathing to it unlocks the map" reeks of a change that was hastily made. I don't really buy the "poor noobie players are going to ruin their atlas" chants though, it doesn't matter until you're unlocking high yellow/low red maps which tilesets you get, and if you've gotten there I think you'll have at least looked at the Atlas section of the site and figured it out. | ||

But I guess we will see I guess, I haven't looked too closely at whats out there yet. To me it boils down to the amount of fun maps pretty much. If my options are to run an equal amount of Academy, Crema, Precinct, Springs for example or ten Springs in a row I'll probably pick the latter. +/- 2% xp is a crazy conservative estimate by the way. If we presume the current distribution in terms of relative amount of maps per tier stays correct we can easily push 3x more of the maps we enjoy compare to right now. If we compare an optimized Atlas against an unoptimized one (with the current system as a baseline) the question is do I want 20% more maps total or do I want 300% more Springs while losing the ability to do the other 3 maps of the tier? | ||

If only the margin was anywhere near that small. :/ Last league, when I was pressing for 90, I ran 3 Bazaar maps to get 3%, 3% and 4% of my xp bar, then I dropped a Gorge from the last one and got the last 5% I needed to level and the first 5% of my next level from just one map (all had a single packsize mod). Some maps are just abysmally bad. :/ I'm really hoping they fixed the gross disparity between the good and bad maps when they were reordering everything. >.> | ||
