Modular map Device effects
|
Hello GGG!
I have a suggestion that could both increase your sales and improve player satisfaction — a true win-win for everyone! Currently, different Map Device MTXs track: - Monsters killed - Time taken in map - Maps completed The problem: 1. I own the Timekeeper Map Device, which I love the most — but that means I can’t use the other tracking devices at the same time. 2. Players who own multiple devices have to swap between them manually, which discourages using or purchasing all of them. Solution: Make the tracking features modular and independent from the MTX model itself. This would allow players to: - Enable multiple tracking features on a single preferred Map Device. - Mix and match tracking features across different devices after they’ve been purchased. You could still tie each feature unlock to its respective Map Device MTX (for example, buying the Timekeeper unlocks the “Time Tracking” feature), but once purchased, that feature becomes usable on any device. Why This Helps Everyone - GGG earns more: Players are incentivized to buy multiple devices to unlock all tracking features. - Players gain more value: We can fully enjoy the features we’ve paid for, without being locked into one aesthetic choice. - Quality of life improvement: No more constant switching just to see different stats — smoother gameplay, happier players! Thanks for reading, and for all the passion you put into PoE. Keep up the great work!

I found two older posts about the similar suggestions:
Map Device MTX, combine effects to track time and mob count as example: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3532079 Unlock Wheel Of Pain Map Device Kill Counter: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3461595 Last edited by Simple2012#6247 on Oct 22, 2025, 8:43:50 AM Last bumped on Oct 30, 2025, 10:07:21 AM

This type of modular device would entice me as much, if not even more, than some of the new packs that comes with new leagues.
Please give us flexibility to get these functions not bound to a certain map device. There are many very cool devices, but they remain unused, because of the above mentioned examples. My wallet approves of this suggestion. |

I support with all my wallet!

This gets repeatedly asked for. Given the financial incentive for GGG to agree, I think it's a safe assumption that this is just one of the nice to haves that we are missing out on due to the strain of POE2 development on the staff.

I would own all of them if I could use together. Currently I use cauldron. Any in-game tracking mechanism is a take my money item IMO
